阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Have you considered studying abroad, but are not sure whether it’s worth our time? Perhaps you’re not certain what benefits you can get from an extended stay in a foreign country. Here are some very excellent reasons why you should study in a foreign county?
1. Studying abroad is the best way __________. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to study in a culture that speaks the language you’re learning. You’re surrounded by the language on a daily basis ，seeing and hearing it in the proper cultural context. Language learning happens most quickly under these circumstances.
2. Studying abroad provides the opportunity to travel. Weekends and academic breaks allow you to venture out and explore your surroundings— both your immediate and more distant surroundings. Since studying abroad often puts you in a completely different country, you are much closer to places you might otherwise not have had the opportunity to visit.
3. Studying abroad allows you to get to know another culture at first hand. Cultural differences are more than just habits. A person’s culture reflects very deep thoughts, beliefs, and values that influence his or her way of life and that he or she views the world. Students who experience cultural differences personally can truly understand where other cultures are coming from.
4. Studying abroad affords you the opportunity to make friends around the world. While abroad, you will meet not only natives to the culture in which you are studying, but also other international students who are as far from home as you.
5. Studying abroad raises employment opportunities. As the world continues to become more globalized, American countries are increasingly investing dollars abroad, and companies from countries around the world continue invest in the international market. Through an employer’s eyes, a student who has studied abroad is independent。 Your experience living and studying in a foreign country, knowing about other culture and another language will make you have many advantages over the other job applicants.（求职者）

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
［1］If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school，then you are prob-ably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake，tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up，you don't feel refreshed，but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
［2］ Dr. Henry Winkle，in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep，indicates that       .Dr. Winkle says，“The more we worry，the less we sleep，the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night's sleep，”he adds，“we can often find the energy to deal with what's worrying us.”
［3］So，what is a good night's sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount，though strangely enough，sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
［4］Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help，but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake.
［5］ “When you put the light out，” Dr. Winkle says，“concentrate on relaxing your muscles，working slowly up from your feet，and you 'll be asleep before you know it.”
小题1:What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 5 words)

小题2:Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2. ( no more than 3 words)
People shouldn't go to sleep immediately but should          after working late in the night.

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, lifelong learning skills, so here are some general homework tips for parents:
● Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.
Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions, such as people coming and going.
● Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available.
Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.
● Help your child with time management.
Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don’t let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the project involves getting together with classmates.
● Be positive about homework.
Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires.
● When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.
Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.
Cooperation with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher.
● Reward progress in homework.
If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success with a special even (e.g. pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort

[1] Teenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults, a new study suggests. It’s not clear, researchers say, whether television itself is the reason, but it is possible that things like snacking(吃零食) in front of the TV or seeing ads for junk food influence young people’s diets.
[2] The study included nearly 1,400 high school students. It showed that those who watched TV for five hours or more everyday had less-healthy diets than their students five years later. As a group, they ate fewer fruits and vegetables, but ate more fast food, snack products and fried foods.
[3] "We’re not able to tell why," lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson said. "But we do have some speculations." People who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may have more snacks. It may influence their long-term diet quality. It’s also possible that TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks make teenagers eat more of those foods. TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.
[4] The researchers found a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality of the young. The heaviest TV viewers , and those who’d watched fewer than two hours everyday had the most fruits, vegetables.
[5] According to Barr-Anderson, the findings support experts’ advice that children should watch no more than two hours of television everyday. "Parents should cut the TV time," Barr-Anderson said. She advised that parents set a good example by eating right, being physically active and controlling their own TV time.
小题1: Complete the following sentences according to the underlined one in paragraph 3. (no more than 5 words)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .
According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person’s message. Intonation (语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal(not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate “OK” with their thumb and fore-finger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means “money” to the Japanese and “zero” to

the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.
Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about — space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的) to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.
Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That’s why it’s possible to “read someone like a book”.

小题2: What does the gesture “OK” mean in Japan? （no more than 3 words）
