陕西省西安市长安区第一中学2018-2019学年高一上学期英语期末考试试卷(含小段音频)
Final exam time can often be stressful. While some stress can actually be a positive motivator(动力), being too nervous can be problematic, especially if it interferes with your test taking performance.
Deal with your anxiety(焦虑). Try to determine the source of your test anxiety. If it stems from(起源于) a lack of preparation on your part, your anxiety is considered a reasonable response(回复). However, if you believe that you are prepared for the test, but are still nervous, this may be unreasonable.
Prepare for those tests. This is the best way to reduce anxiety. Avoid cramming(临时死记硬背)for a test. When studying, try to create questions that could possibly be asked on the test. If it is impossible for you to cover all of the material for the test, choose one part that you know you will be able to cover and present well.
Change your attitude. Improving your beliefs and attitudes about the test-taking experience can actually help you enjoy studying and may improve your performance. Don't overplay the importance of the grade.
Don't forget about yourself and what you need. This means thinking of yourself as a total person, not just as a test taker. Make sure you get plenty of sleep. You can't bring out your best if you are tired. Do something relaxing when you feel well prepared.
A. Ease your stress.
B. Don't forget the basics.
C. Remind yourself that it is very important.
D. Either way, it can be very helpful to know how to work with their effects.
E. It is not a reflection of your self-worth, nor does it predict your future success.
F. Here's some advice to help make the end-of-the-term experience less stressful.
G. It can produce high levels of anxiety and is not helpful in trying to learn a large amount of material.
A. Make your meals a celebration. B. Carve out some dedicated quiet time. C. If so, you might need to examine your sleep habits. D. Just make sure you schedule it into your day or week. E. But it's also easy to be a holidaymaker in the place you live. F. Research has even shown that vacations help health and well-being. G. When you're travelling, you walk around new cities without a second thought. |
Live Every Day Like It's A Holiday
We feel great on holiday because we let go of everyday stresses and strains. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} So whether or not you're going away this summer, there's plenty you can do to make sure you benefit from that holiday feeling.
Sleep like a holidaymaker
Sleep like a baby when you're on your holidays but stay awake when you're in your usual routine? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} To reset your sleep pattern, avoid bringing problems to bed. That includes your phone, TV or laptop. Make sure the room is dark and cool. Aim for at least seven hours' —just as you would on holiday.
Get moving
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Given that exercise is cheap, healthy and reduces stress, it makes absolute sense to build it into your day. A walk will release happy hormones, and eases anxiety and mild depression.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Part of the joy of going away is lingering over delicious food with families. Take up the holiday habit of sitting down as a family for at least one meal a day. Families who eat together experience less anxiety, less depression and less obesity, research has found.
Be a tourist in your own city
Part of the thrill of a holiday is the novelty of discovering a new place and doing new things. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} At weekends, check out a new music venue, visit a different museum or have a drink in that interesting-looking pub you're always walking past. It will get you out of routine and make you feel alive. A bit like a holiday, really.
You have probably heard the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Lemons are considered not tasty while lemonade is considered sweet. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
But when something bad happens, it's common for most people to complain about life, " Why me?" That's like getting a bag of lemons and thinking, "Lemons taste bad! I just want chocolate!" {#blank#}2{#/blank#} But what if you did something with them? What if you made lemonade? Isn't it possible to do something similar in a bad situation?
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Let's say you're about to go to the movies, but you discover you have a flat tire(瘪了的轮胎). You consider this a terrible thing. After all, you're really looking forward to spending some time with your favorite film stars. Now you're very worried, hating the tire, the car, and your life. But what if you called AAA(美国汽车协会) to get your tire fixed or caught up on things that you' d been meaning to do? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} A bad experience can be turned into something good. Almost everything can work itself out into something better. You can't change what has happened, right? So make the best of it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} The easy thing to do is to be disappointed about what has happened and not consider what it could be turned into.
Next time when some bad things happen, stop and think, "How can I turn this around? How can I make it a positive experience?"
A. Here's an example. B. I'm not saying it will be easy. C. The answer to the problem is unique. D. If you smile to life, it will smile back to you. E. If you don't do anything with the lemons, they will go bad. F. The saying tells you to make the best of a bad situation. G. What if you did some reading, or had coffee with a friend instead. |
