新疆生产建设兵团第二中学2018-2019学年高一上学期英语期中考试试卷
You're growing up. That means you're probably experiencing lots of changes all at once. Your body is changing. It might even seem as if your entire self is changing. It can be confusing and even scary. And it's good!
Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world. In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow. Hormone levels change constantly, rising and falling. But it's partly to blame for intense emotions, surprising reactions, and mood swings.
Because of the way your brain develops, it is somewhat ruled by emotion now and through your teen years. As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller coaster！
Take care of yourself. If you eat right, sleep enough, and get good exercise, your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.
When you feel your moods swinging or you're upset, or confused, some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer.
Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you go to bed and when you wake up. Plus, when stuff happens during the day, you'll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react. Your body is changing.
A. Take a time-out.
B. But the truth is, it happens to every teen.
C. Work out regularly to keep physically fit.
D. This changing is needed for your body's development.
E. It will help you fall asleep—and start the morning right.
F. Here are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.
G. Usually, these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.

A. Then try and surf along the surface of the wave B. I can experience this same fun when bodysurfing C. but it does have its own unofficial world championship D. that can be practised by using nothing but the human body E. which is looked down on by professional athletes, however F. Famous bodyboarders in the great surfing history have also competed G. A wetsuit is also advisable to use unless you are bodysurfing in tropical (热带的) seas |
I have been lucky enough to be right next to dolphins playing in perfect surf, using the power of the waves to travel even faster than they normally swim. There is np doubt that they are enjoying themselves and, though I can't swim like a dolphin, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Bodysurfing involves riding on a wave with no help from any device (装置) such as a surfboard, which makes it the "purest" form of surfing. In fact, it is one of very few extreme sports—free climbing and cliff diving are others—{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
However, it is more enjoyable and safer if you use flippers (脚蹼). This is because they enable you to swim faster, and so catch waves and surf along them more easily. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Another aid is a handboard, a mini-surf board about the size of an iron, held in one hand to generate more speed along the wave.
To catch a wave, swim to where the waves break and, as one approaches, start swimming towards the beach. You must try to travel at the same speed as the wave and, if you do it correctly, you will feel the wave lifting you and pushing you forwards. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
Bodysurfing is not a professional sport, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}—the Pipeline Bodysurfing
Classic—held each year at the legendary Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. Local bodysurfers compete against athletes from places such as Australia, Brazil, Japan or France, in terrifying walls of water above the sharp coral reef.
For me no other sport is as much fun as bodysurfing. There's a good reason why dolphins choose not to use surfboards!
