　　Anna Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. “I was always 1 prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I would not answer the questions 2 . I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answers. My 3 grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher.” Another student in microbiology had 4 experiences. He said, “My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was 5 . My hands were moving up and down so 6 that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't 7 write them down!”

　　These two young students were 8 something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is anxious about a test, his or her 9 does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think 10 because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a(n) 11 of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just a(n) 12 or a false explanation of lazy students.

　　Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them 13 to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to 14 their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become 15 in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds 16 at ease. 17 information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

　　A(n) 18 at the University of Ca- lifornia explains,“With almost all students, relaxation and 19 stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control 20 their tests. Almost all have some improvement.”

　　1. A. badly B. well C. bad D. quite

　　2. A. correctly B. mistakenly C. wrongly D. later

　　3. A. high B. tall C. low D. good

　　4. A. few B. different C. similar D. no

　　5. A. crying B. standing C. smiling D. shaking

　　6. A. quickly B. slowly C. quietly D. frequent

　　7. A. rarely B. even C. hardly D. never

　　8. A. experiencing B. studying C. learning D. making

　　9. A. hand B. mind C. leg D. heart

　　A

　　This hotel in the trees is famous in the world. People who know very little about Kenya, know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she came down from there, she succeeded to become the queen of the country. This hotel, in the middle of the forest, shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.

　　The dining room at Treetops is small, and as the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, a clever “railway service” has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.

　　There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:

　　—Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.

　　—Animals are enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.

　　—A long bodied, long ring tailed, very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He hunts and eats anything he can overpower and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.

　　—Some other animals have a thick coating on fur to keep them warm in the cold forest nights.

　　—Many buffaloes (水牛) come to the Treetops for water and salt during the day or night.

　　1. “... she succeeded to become the queen of the country.” In this sentence, “succeeded” means _______ .

　　A. did what she was trying to do

　　B. gained her purpose

　　C. got a position on the death of the King

　　D. completed an easy task

　　2. According to the passage, “railway service” actually refers to _______ .

　　A. the service provided at the railway station

　　B. the supply of food on the train

　　C. the service provided along railways

　　D. the supply of food along a moving line

　　A. It comes for food only at night.

　　B. It lives in the trees at Treetops.

　　C. Its teeth and claws can do people harm.

　　D. It can catch any other animal in the forest.

　　4. According to the passage, Treetops is famous in the world because _______ .

　　A. it shows the pleasure of America

　　B. Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from there

　　C. it is built round several trees

　　D. there are many animals that can be trained and become lovely pets

　　5. We can learn from the passage that the guests _______ .

　　A. should not play games on the Treetops

　　B. could not sit on the corridor at night

　　B

　　As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment and self-improvement.

　　Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

　　Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

　　Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

　　6. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .

　　A. he is unwilling to take family responsibilities

　　B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single

　　C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage

　　D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement

　　7. Raising children, in the author's opinion, is _______ .

　　A. a moral duty

　　B. a thankless job

　　C. a rewarding task

　　D. a source of inevitable pain

　　8. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _______ .

　　A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudice D. ignorance

　　9. To understand what true happiness is one must _______ .

　　A. have as much fun as possible during one's lifetime

　　B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain

　　C. put up with pain under all circumstances

　　D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun

　　10. What is the author trying to tell us?

　　A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.

　　B. One must know how to make money.

　　C. It is not important to make commitments.

　　D. It is pain that leads to happiness.

　　IV. Keisha's mother had trouble getting her out of bed so early in the morning. You might expect this from an ordinary 13-year-old girl. But this girl had just become the youngest ever Best Actress Oscar nominee for the 76th Academy Awards.

　　At 4 am her mum came into her room saying, “Keisha, you've just been nominated.” The girl said, “I thought when I woke up, she would tell me it was all a dream.” But the last day of her school summer holiday began with a press interview at 5 am, followed by phone calls from relatives and media.

You can comprehend not only the age-old city's history but also its creativity from the picture-like Chinese character “Jing”. You can feel an outburst of enthusiasm in Chinese culture through the scarlet color. And, you can hear the solemn promise of holding a most excellent Olympics, that a great nation, which possesses five thousand years' history of civilization, gives the world.

　　Yours,

　　Li Hua
