【题目】As living conditions in China are getting better, parents who want their children to have a bright future invest large sums of money to send their children to study abroad. However, there are countless difficulties that students have to face and solve when they study abroad. Therefore, it is necessary for Chinese overseas students to be aware of certain things to which they must pay attention.

【1】_________ Safety issues before and after studying abroad have been one of the focuses of parents. However, all experts consider psychological preparation as the most important thing for students studying abroad to consider. They believe that students must have a clear picture of their position and know that they are going abroad to study and receive training and not for leisure. And they should not have the opinion that everything abroad is good and all things from China are bad. Students should prepare themselves for the differences.

2_________ Chinese students have got accustomed to the domestic exam-oriented education style that is completely different from the more open foreign education mode. They will face changes in the educational system while studying abroad. So students should learn about the differences between the domestic and foreign education styles and try to find more solutions to adjusting to the open education in order to be well prepared for their overseas studies both mentally and practically.

3__________ Students should ask related teachers to help make plans consistent with their practical condition. There should be both macro and detailed learning plans. Macro learning plans require students to hold on to the primary direction of their overseas studies and detailed learning plans require them to arrange learning content for each course and semester(学期). After the plan is made, they should strictly keep to them. Otherwise, the plan will have no effect.

4_________ As Chinese students are not familiar with the place and people, and have to relatives by their sides, the first feeling they will feel is loneliness, which makes it especially important to learn to develop relationships with people around them. They may meet all kinds of fascinating people abroad. They should go out of their way to be friendly and strike up conversations. The most important thing is to pluck up enough courage to open your mouth and talk with others. Foreigners really like children of this kind and are willing to help them.

5__________ Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class, but Chinese children are used to teacher-centered education. Guided and supervised by parents and teachers, Chinese students don’t have much learning space. They may score high in exams, but they may lack independent learning skills and tend to be in a state of passive learning. So the most basic thing that children need to know is that studying abroad requires that they should adapt to overseas studies as soon as possible and try their best to learn actively and independently.

【题目】Tests can be stressful even for the most prepared students,and,unfortunately,test anxiety can actually have a negative impact on your performance.(Just having that knowledge adds to the stress,doesn’t it?)Well,the following tips can help you get through your next test with much greater ease—and likely more success!

Get Enough Sleep

Getting 6 hours of less can put you into what’s called a sleep deficit,or lack of sufficient sleep,which can actually make you less sharp mentally and thus negatively affect your performance on tests,even if you spent those missed hours of sleep studying.So it’s very important for you to get all of your studying done so you can get a good night of sleep before your big day.

Study Smarter

Being organized with your studies can help you keep from pulling all-nighters to get all of your studying in and blowing the test because you’re exhausted.How do you study ‘smarter’? Make a list of the most important things you need to learn,in order of importance,and hit the items at the top of the list first.That way,if you run out of time,you’re mostly covered.Make a list of all the work you have to do,estimate how much time each item will take,and compare that with the amount of hours you have available;this will tell you if you can carefully read or just skim,how many times you can afford to revise papers,and other ways to pace yourself so you can get everything done.If you’re pressed for time,it’s important to learn to let go of being perfect.Oh,and turn off the TV as much as possible until your tests are behind you.

Visualize(想象)Success

Before you fall asleep each night,it is a great way to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully.Detailed visualizations can help you feel like you’re really experiencing something,and visualizing yourself doing well is a way to ‘practice’ success in a way that can actually help you perform better and feel confident.Being confident as you take your exams can keep you from choking because of the stress.Visualizations can also help you to remember facts: you can create detailed scenarios that involve the information you’re trying to remember,and this can help cement the facts in your memory.

Stay Calm

Because stress can impair your memory,it’s important to stay calm before and during tests.While that’s easier said than done,there are several stress relief techniques that can help you calm down quickly whenever you feel overwhelmed.For example,breathing exercise has been shown by research to reduce test anxiety,and can be extremely effective in helping you relax and reverse your stress response in a variety of situations: just take deep breaths,expanding your belly on the inhale,and let the stress come out with your exhales.

【1】According to the passage,which of the following about sleep is true?

A.Sleep has nothing to do with test anxiety.

B.Less sleep can actually save you more time to study.

C.Lack of enough sleep can make you slower in mind.

D.Less than 6 hours of sleep will lead to your failure in tests.

【2】To study smarter,you’d better ______.

A.finish the most important things first

B.stay up to prepare for the coming exams

C.try to be perfect in every part of your study

D.divide your available time equally among all work

【3】According to the passage,which part can help build up your confidence?

A.Get Enough Sleep B.Study Smarter

C.Visualize Success D.Stay Calm

【4】The passage is written to ______.

【题目】Cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入,摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.

Garland’s research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There’s nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is member of a team at San Diego Moores Cancer Hospital that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units(IU)a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 units per day” Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.

The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.

“African Americans, who don’t produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin color, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.

【1According to the passage, people are advised to take more Vitamin D, because ________.

A. it is nutriious

B. it can’t harm people’s health

C. it can lower cancer risk

D. it is not taken enough every day

2Garland is probably ________.

A. a health researcher B. a doctor

C. a medicine scientist D. a public health official

3Which of the following foods can lower people’s chance of getting cancer?

A. Milk. B. Fortified orange juice.

C. Fortified yogurt. D. All of the above.

4________ should take more Vitamin D according to the passage.

A. Asian people B. African people

C. American people D. Oceanian people
