    I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
    If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
    Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can't control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
    Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things. Accept that you can't control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
    If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
    It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that make s you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.

Thousands of years ago,in the south of ancient China,there lived Shennong,a man who had an ox head and human body.Seeing that local people were suffering from disease,he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants.To remember him,people named the place shennongjia.

The legend(传说）makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inciting place for tourists.Traveling there is a unique experience,as you can see sceneries of the four seasons from different altitudes(海拔）.“When the bottom of the mountain is summer,the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn,the top is covered with ice,”local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants.Many animals in danger live there,such as the golden monkey,the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.

One interesting and mysterious(奇妙的）thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men.Some people once claimed that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures.Yet so far,scientists haven't proved it is true and some say they are just bears.

The beautiful place has recently received a new title.On July 17,2016,Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site.Chins now has 50 world heritage sites(遗址），second only to Italy in the world.

What will life in the future be like? Will it be much better than it is now? And what will we be able to do in 10, 20 or 30 years' time?

Genetic engineering (基因工程)may help us make the perfect human. Babies may grow up to play basketball like Yao Ming or look like Cecilia Cheung. Also, we may be able to bring the dead back to life. Maybe people will be able to meet and talk with their dead family members.

Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between humans and machines. Perhaps we will be able to make copies of ourselves, so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. People may be able to find ways of putting the life of a person into a new body.

Nanobots(纳米机器人)will be important. We will use them when we are sick. For example, when we have a stomachache, we will swallow (吞下) a nanobot and it will travel through our stomach, taking a video of what's happening there. The video will help the doctor cure us.

In the future, computers may have their feelings. They may be able to think better than us. We may be more and more interested in computers and the internet, spending all our time in front of computers. Perhaps we will forget our real needs. Perhaps we will become super couch potatoes weighing 250 kg!

阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Thanks to the Earth, we have fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy. But it seems that we haven't realized that the Earth is facing many environmental challenges and it is getting "sick".

Scientists say that of all the environmental challenges, climate (气候) change is the biggest one. The temperature on the Earth has risen by more than 0. 5C since 1992. Cities like Singapore and Tokyo that are at low altitudes (海拔) may be covered by the ocean (海洋) in the future.

But this is not the only problem people are facing. Since 1992, the human population has grown by 2 billion, while the population of all other animals has dropped by nearly 30 percent. At the same time, water pollution has become serious. We are also facing problems like light pollution, noise pollution and some other pollution.

However, we have made some progress in saving the Earth. For example, we stop using harmful materials to make the hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层) smaller to slow the rise of the temperature. We do a lot of work to help the animals in danger, or more than two-thirds of the worlds wild animals may disappear (消失) by the end of 2020.

"The progress shows that we can make good changes when we act wisely, "scientists say, "we must take action to protect the environment, or it will be worse."

Get a lot of letters at this time of year from people complaining (抱怨) that they have a cold and that it won't go away. There are so many ways to cure (治愈) a child. It is often difficult to know what to do. Although (尽管) cold are rarely (很少) dangerous, weak people , such as the elderly or young babies, often catch them. Colds are always uncomfortable and sometimes very unpleasant. Of course, you can buy lots of medicine. This will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away quickly.

Another thing is that any medicine can be dangerous if you are already taking another type of medicine for some other illness. So always check with your chemist (药剂师) or doctor to see if they are all right for you. Also, remember that they might make you sleepy; please don't try to drive it they do! Lastly, if you want to keep away from colds, don't blindly (盲目地) believe in 'magic' foods or drinks. The best way is to keep strong and healthy –you'll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn't be so bad!
