Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.Study TechniquesYou should always study in the same place. You shouldnt sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Dont watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way.Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface.Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.Be realistic and dont try to complete too much in one study period. Finish onething before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking SkillsAll your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test.Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every daywill also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breatheslowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often.Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undividedattention.21. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.B. You should study in a different place every day, so you dont get bored. C. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.22. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? A. Your textbook. B. Your dictionary.C. The equipment you need. D. Your study desk or table.23. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldnt look at everyone else during the test.B. A white wall is a must for you to concentrate more.C. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.BSome years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house.In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he did not realize an alligator（短吻鳄）was swimming towards the shore. His mother in the house, looking out of the window, saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In fear, she ran towards the water, yelling to the son as loudly as she could.It was too late. The alligator reached him.From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs. That began an incredible tug of war（拔河）between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother would not let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, ran from his truck, and shot the alligator. Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His leg were extremely scarred by the animals attack, and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from mothers fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved.The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs . And then, he proudly said to the reporter: “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom would not let go.”You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from alligator, or anything quite so dramatic. But the scars of a painful past. Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on to you.24. Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy, the mother _ .A. dived into the cool water at onceB. shouted a warning to her boy.C. was too afraid to moveD. got ready to fight the crocodile25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming.B. The mother won the “match” because of her strength.C. A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes.D. There were scars on the boys arms and legs.26. By saying, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too,” the boyreally wanted to show _.A. how deep the scars wereB. what a brave boy he wasC. how great his mother wasD. how recently he had survived an attack27. According to the author, how are we all similar to the boy in the story?A. We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones.B. We may be faced with danger in our lives.C. We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers.D. We may have scars that come from pain and love.CEveryone agrees that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and grief. The question, however, is “What is real happiness?” The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.Generally, ordinary beings consider sensual（感觉的）pleasures as happiness, and their actions are directed toward gaining these. According to them, searching for happiness means searching for pleasures of the senses. The question, “What is happiness?”, does not arise（出现） in their hearts, because in their hearts they think of a life full of sensual joys as a happy life.Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in the objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in the imagination.” To prove their belief they give examples like the following one. A man has a two-storey house. When he thinks of those who have a house with three storeys Kor more, he feels unhappy. When he thinks of those who have just a cottage, he feels happy. Such happiness does not lie in possessions（占有物）, but in the imagination. They advise people to take inspiration from those who have few possessions but are quite happy. If you only consider people wealthier than yourself, you will always be unhappy.If you want to be happy, they say, look at the poor. But it is unreasonable to hold that happiness lies in the imagination. And it is inappropriate to think that someone is happy if he only imagines himself better than the poor and the unhappy. This attitude also satisfies the sense of pride of possession. This can never be called happiness. Unless we find out where happiness lies, we cannot really become happy.Some ask people to do this or that, and say, “This way your desires will be satisfied. That way you will get what you want and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires and unhappiness as denial(否定) of such satisfaction.28. What kind of life can make common people feel happy?A. Life without pain and grief. B. Life full of imagination.C. Life with desire for possessions. D. Life full of sensual pleasures.29. The underlined word “cottage” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _.A. a house in ones imagination B. a small houseC. a desired object D. a modern building30. The author may agree that _.A. possessing wealth may lead to a sense of prideB. people wont feel happy without a desire for happinessC. by comparing themselves with the poor,people will feel happyD. people have to experience pain and grief before finding happiness31. The best title for this passage would be “_”.A. Happiness and Desire B. How to Get HappinessC. What is Happiness? D. Happiness and ImaginationDGenetically modified foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today. This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world.From the seed dealer, to the farmer that buys the seed，to the workers that the farmer sells to: all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately. There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods. They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe, the US and the rest of the world. They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process. Since they are a new product，and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country, these tests are very necessary.These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation. Begun in May of 1997，the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods. A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past. By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food.Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use，these are GM soybean and GM maize.Despite any safety checks, many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods. By providing these people with the necessary information, we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.32. What do we know about the novel food?A. Its very popular in EU. B. Its bad for peoples health.C. Its story has been published D. Its a new kind of food.33. Genetically modified foods are allowed to be sold if they are .A .tested for safety B. of high qualityC. more nutritional D. grown in Europe34. From paragraph 2, we can learn that genetically modified foods _.A. do no harm to peopleB. are criticized and attacked by many peopleC. are well received after being testedD. have caused some problems35. Whats the writers attitude towards genetically modified foods?A. We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.B. We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.C. We should give people information about them so that they can decide whetherto buy them.D.
