Stress is a feeling you can have both in your mind and in your body. 83.It can make you want to eat less, not talk to your friends and family.
A little stress in life is normal. But controlling stress is important because if you feel stressed for too long, it can seriously affect your body. Older people who have stress for a long time can develop heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious health problems.
The good news is, it can be very easy to control stress. Here are three tips:
Tip 1: Try to eat right. Some people who feel stressed try to feel much better by eating chocolates, ice cream and other sweets. A little sugar isn’t bad for you but don't stop eating fruit and vegetables.
Tip 2:Exercise regularly. 84.People who are very busy with jobs or family life can feel tired a lot. Getting regular exercise can give you more energy and help you think about the things in your life that give you stress.
Tip 3: Most importantly, watch out for each other. Stress can make you feel alone. It’s important to watch for stress in people that are close to you: friends look out for friends, teachers look out for students.

Green Technology
Have you ever considered computers to be green technology? Think about all the trees needed to make paper for books and your written activities. The ability to transfer(转移) the written tasks to a computer makes it quite an environmentally friendly invention.
Learning to communicate well is a skill you will use all your life. You need this skill in your personal life to express your feelings to friends and family members. You need to be able to communicate well in school, too. Your future job success may also depend on your ability to communicate.
Kinds of Communication
There are two main kinds of communication. The first kind is verbal communication(语言交流). It includes the use of words to send information. Speaking and writing are both forms of verbal communication.
Nonverbal communication(非语言交流) includes any means of sending a message that does not use words. Your appearance, body language and the way you react are all forms of nonverbal communication.
Global(全球的) Connections
Communication Differences
Western cultures value direct eye contact(交流) and train kids to “look people in the eye”. But Japanese,African, and many Latin American cultures avoid eye contact to show respect.
Community Connections
Good Manners
It is easy to have good manners if you try to think of others first. If someone new joins your group of friends or moves into your neighborhood, make a self-introduction first. Make him or her feel welcome. Help someone who needs a hand. Hold the door open for the person behind you.
Being an Active Listener
Communication is a two-way process. Sometimes you are the
sender and sometimes you are the receiver. To receive messages clearly, it helps to be an active listener. Active listening is a communication skill in which the listener shows a clear understanding of what a person is saying. You can do this in several ways.
◆Repeat what you think the speaker is saying.
◆Let the speaker know you are listening by nodding or
shaking your head.
◆ If the message you receive is not clear, ask questions.
◆ Listen before answering.
◆Do not interrupt(打断). Allow the speaker to finish what he
or she has to say.

Lei Haiwei, a 37-year-old fast food courier(快递员)from Hunan Province, got first place in a televised Chinese poetry knowledge competition. He beat other competitors, including a master’s degree(硕士学位)graduate from Beijing University, in the third season of the Chinese Poetry Conference on CCTV on April 4, 2018.
“My interest in ancient poems began as early as I was six years old. My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in mind, the courier said.
In 2001, the younger Lei found a job in Shanghai and began to read books related to ancient poems at bookstores or libraries in his spare time, since he didn’t make much money. The young man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked and writing them down after returning home.
Though Lei works as a fast food courier in Hangzhou later, his love for poems never died. Even on his busiest work days, he used any available moment to recite poems. “For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring. As for my future plan, I will stick to reading and reciting poems,” Lei said.

Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
AI’s recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the drivers’ jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to writer programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These include jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.

When the Action for Hope Music School announced that it was looking for talented children to train, his family encouraged him to attend the school. A year and half later, the now 14-year-old, Youssef, with another 11 children, was chosen to take part in a concert.
Youssef, a shy boy, was a lead singer in the concert. He gave a confident performance of traditional Syrian songs. “We only heard the sound of a mortar (迫击炮). It fell near us. Many buildings fell down. That is all I remember,” said Youssef. “Music makes me forget everything. Music is the most important thing.”
Basma, director of Action for Hope, said the music school offers strength to the children who suffer (遭受) from the war. They can find a good way to express themselves and stop thinking of themselves as refugees.

In early spring, the changing temperature usually makes a number of Chinese people uncomfortable. Cold air, bringing rain or even snow, easily tears up(破坏)the warmth of the spring within a night(一夜之间).
However, with the coming of Guyu—the Grain(谷物)Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Falling usually on or around April 20 every year, Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms(节气). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on.
Sow(播种)grains
This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans.
Hope for safety and harvest
For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies(仪式)on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season.
Watch the peony
It's also a great time to see the peony(牡丹), which is known as "the Queen of All Flowers" in Chinese culture.73.As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress(女皇)Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history.
Pick tea leaves
Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People believe that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck. So the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has become a tradition in some places of China.

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign “NO CHILDREN.” “Why can’t we bring our children?” “What on earth does the owner want to do?” The parents were surprised and complained angrily.
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?
Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn’t control their children and many children couldn’t have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban (禁止) children from his restaurant.
Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.
(83) In fact, many other restaurants. have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There’s one restaurant in Italy.

【主旨大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了在佛罗里达州一家餐馆禁止孩子进入餐馆,因为这家餐馆靠近繁忙的街道,店主害怕父母照顾不好孩子会发生危险。同时,文章对“孩子是否进入餐馆”也阐明了不同地方不同的观点。
81. Because his restaurant was near a busy road, there might be some danger if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. 解析:根据文章第三段句子“He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban children from his restaurant.”可知泰勒先生认为他家的参观靠近繁忙的街道,因此如果父母照看不好孩子,他们可能有危险。所以, 他禁止孩子进入餐馆。
82.I think banning children from his restaurant is the best way to solve the problem. Because there might be some danger if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. .解析:由文章第三段可知如果家长照看不好孩子,他们可能会有危险,所以,最好禁止他们进入餐馆。
I think trying to ban children during certain times of the day is the best way to solve the problem. Because the children also can enjoy the food in restaurants. 解析:根据倒数第二段句子Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children in dealing with the problem.可知一些人试图在一定的时间禁止孩子进入餐馆。因为作为孩子也需要一定的时间来享受餐馆的食物。
I think rewarding well-behaved children is the best way to solve the problem. Because rewarding well-behaved children can encourage parents to control their children. 解析:根据倒数第二段最后一句They rewarded well-behaved children can encourage parents to control their children. 可知奖励那些举止文明的孩子能鼓励父母来管教他们的孩子。

阅读短文,根据要求完成文后的题目。
There was once a King and he wanted to find out who could paint the best picture of peace.
And he would offer a prize to the artist. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm (平静的) lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged (崎岖的) and bare (无遮蔽的). Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush (矮树丛) growing in a crack (裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest(巢,窝). There, she sat on her nest... in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize?
The King chose the second picture. “Because,” said the King, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”

有个国王集中全国优秀画家,看谁能画出一幅最宁静的画,悬以重赏。国王从参选画作中找出两幅,决定从中最后选择。其中一幅画的是一个平静的湖,湖面如镜,倒映出周围的群山,点缀着如絮白云。另一幅画也有山,但都是崎岖和光秃的山,上面是愤怒的天空,下着大雨,雷电交加,山边翻腾着瀑布,看来一点都不平静。当国王靠近看时,看到瀑布后有一细小的树丛,上有一鸟巢,雌鸟安坐在巢里。国王选择了后者,并解释道:“平静并不等于一个完全没有困难和辛劳的地方,而是在那一切的纷乱中间,心中仍然宁静,这才是宁静的真正意义。”
1. To paint a picture of peace. / To paint the best picture of peace. 根据第一段首句“There was
once a King and he waned to find out who could paint the best picture of peace. And he would

2. It was a perfect picture of peace. 根据第二段最后一句“Everyone thought that it was a perfect
picture of peace.(每个人都认为第一幅图画是一幅完美的和平图)”可知答案。注意答案字数限制。

trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your
heart. That is the real meaning of peace”可知答案。注意答案字数限制。
4. 和平意味着身处万事万物喧闹中,你内心深处仍然保持波澜不惊。
5. The Best Picture of Peace. / The Real Meaning of Peace. 通读原文可知:本文通过国王挑选“最好的和平图画”这一故事,旨在告诉我们:人世间真正的和平不是身处在蓝天白云、群山环抱的平静的湖面上,而是置身于喧闹的大千世界,却保持内心的那份宁静,这才是和平的真正意义。

Some people seen have unusual memories. Zheng Aiqing, a “memory athlete ”on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2660 numbers in just one hour!
You would think people like him must have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland, the brain structure (结构)of ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes shows no difference.
Good memories can be trained. New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training.
Researchers found that a technique (技巧)called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.
By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain’s memory networks. You can link (关联)something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.
In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns. At the beginning, they could only remember 26 words, but when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.
“Not everyone can become a memory winner. But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.
请根据短文内容,完成下列任务。(每小题2分)
◆请将下列句子补充完整,使其句意连贯。
51. From the recent study, we know that ordinary people and memory athletes have similar ________.
52. To memorize a list of numbers by using loci means you are using your______
