【生活常识类】

Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.This worry can make your body feel bad.You may feel angry,frustrated or afraid—which can give you a stomachache or a headache.When you are stressed,your body responds as though you are in danger.

Plenty of things can cause stress in a kid’s life.Some types of stress are good and others are bad.Good or normal stress might show up when you’re called on in class or when you have to give a report.Have you ever got butterflies in your stomach or sweaty hands? Those can be signs of good stress.For example,you may do a better job on your book report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class.

If you’re feeling tired because you have too much going on,you might feel better if you drop something.Sometimes lots of activities-even if they’re all fun- can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time.

There are also relaxation exercises you can use.The easiest one is to inhale (吸气)slowly and deeply through your nose,and then exhale slowly through your mouth.Do this two to four times,but don’t take in too much air too quickly because it can make you feel lightheaded.

The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life.Think about which things are the most important,and do those first.That means making good decisions about how to spend your time.Eat well.If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food,and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff,you’ll probably be less stressed out!

(2015内蒙古赤峰高三最后一模)【科普知识类】

An experiment was carried out at British school into the performance of new pupils.At the start of the year,the pupils were each given a rating,ranging from “excellent prospect” to “unlikely to do well”.These were totally untrue ratings and did not reflect how well the pupils had previously performed.However,these ratings were given to the teachers.At the end of the year,the experimenters compared the pupils’ performance with the ratings.Despite their real abilities,there was an astonishingly high connection between performance and ratings.It seems that people perform as well as we expect them to.

The Self-fulfilling Effect is also known as the Pygmalion(皮格马利翁) Effect.This comes from an old Greek story.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion,later turned into the musical My Fair Lady.In Shaw’s play,Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl,Eliza Doolittle into a duchess(女公爵).But,as Eliza herself points out to Higgins’ friend Pickering,it isn’t what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess,but how she’s treated.

The implication(含义) of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive.It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect,which means you must always expect the

best.As Goethe said,“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”

5.The underlined word “rating” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “”.

A.program

B.classification

C.correction

D.regulation

6.The experiment was made in order to .

A.give each pupil a proper assessment

B.try out a new teaching method

C.pick out the most excellent pupils

D.learn if expectations affect performance

7.According to the Pygmalion Effect,if you want a man to finish a hard task in a short time,you should say “”.

A.It is as easy as pie

B.I’m sure you can make it

C.It doesn’t matter if you fail

D.I will help you any time

8.What’s the passage mainly about?( )

A.Shaw’s play Pygmalion.

B.The Self-fulfilling Effect.

C.An improved teaching method.

D.A new scientific experiment
