Dealing with stress is a top topic of concern to young people. Stress has harmful influence on their study and health. According to an OECD survey, nearly half (47%) of Australian students feel very anxious when they study, compared to the international number of 37%. 67% of Australian students say they feel very nervous even if they’re well-prepared for a test. And the international number of that is 56% (64% for girls and 47% for boys).
It is important that schools teach students how to recognize and best manage stress. These skills will continue to do good to them throughout their lives. School-based stress management programs, such as yoga (瑜伽) programs, have proven to be helpful in the United States. Similar programs will bring advantages to Australian school children.
Schools can better support students by providing yoga programs. And among them, mindfulness practice is the most common. Mindfulness practice requires people to pay attention to the present moment and realize and accept feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations as they really are. It improves the ability to get used to new environments for the first-year college students. They will also feel less stressed about schoolwork.
In high schools, students believe mindfulness-based yoga programs can improve memory, grades, and their abilities to control her feelings. Students also think yoga could make them less interested in smoking and drinking and increase connection with family and friends. In fact, at home, parents can consider practicing mindfulness together with their kids. They can turn to online yoga programs and apps, such as Head space and Smiling Mind.
Given the above facts, offering yoga programs in schools may help young people learn to manage stress better.
1．What problem do Australian students face?

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants(移民)bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional cuisine. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some ingredients needed to make traditional cuisine may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell cuisine to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes to the original cuisine to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the cuisine.
We should not only embrace our heritage through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
5．What’s the function of the traditional food?
A．It helps motivate homesickness.
B．It shows culture identity.
C．It reflects a country’s history.
D．It shows a community’s superiority.
6．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C．To make the dishes popular among customers.
D．To present their own food culture in a new way.
7．What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A．Negative. B．Balanced. C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.
8．Which column does the passage come from?
A．Space B．Science C．Food D．Entertainment

Moving to a foreign country is an amazing, life-changing experience. It’s an opportunity to meet new people, make yourself completely involved in a different culture and possibly learn another language. However, before embarking on such an adventure, there are some practical decisions that need to be made. One such decision is choosing where to live.
For me, choosing to live with a French family was the best choice I made, and here are the reasons.
Firstly, a family can show you around the city or town and help you settle in, stopping you from feeling lonely. When you’re in new surroundings with people you don’t know and who are speaking a language you’re still not fluent in, you might feel lost, tired and homesick—I know I did. However, my host family are wonderful and welcoming; they showed me which buses to take to get to work, cooked dinner for me, and took me with them on trips to the beach, the theatre and even a bullring. These were great opportunities to experience French culture and build relationships, which in turn helped me feel at home and welcome.
Moreover, living with French people has been beneficial to helping me improve my language skills. Being constantly exposed to authentic French conversation has allowed me to learn new phrases, widen my vocabulary and even improve my accent. My host family are happy to answer my questions and correct me when I say things wrong, which makes me a better and more confident French speaker.
Finally, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever, and perhaps the friendships—like the memories—will also last. Your host family might become your friends for life. You might return for their birthdays, weddings, holidays, and many more things. I sincerely hope to remain in contact with my host family long after I leave France because when I was away from my friends and loved ones, they welcomed me and made me part of their family.

Suppose you are out shopping and come across an old friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on. You want to seem interested, so you offer the occasional “Oh” or “I see”. To your surprise, though, this person angrily stops and says, “Sorry if I’m boring you!”
Where did this come from? Clearly, your body language must have let out your inner feelings. The idea that verbal (口头的) and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University’s Lueylle Armentano.
To test the role of verbal-nonverbal mismatch on emotional communication, Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers. The research team created videotapes of a fellow Yale student expressing nervousness in his words, bodily gestures, or both. The bodily gestures included running his hands through his hair, grabbing his arm, and facially expressing uneasiness. The key question was whether the other participants, another 82 Yale students, would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting. They needed to give their responses.
Turning to the findings, those nonverbal cues (提示) of nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues. Surprisingly, helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high.
Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you’re interacting with others. Generally, when someone is speaking to you, you want to look like you’re interested. Not only should you maintain eye contact, but you should keep your body still and face toward the other person.
16．What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A．The obvious advantages of body language.
B．The proper way to interact with old friends.
C．A situation where body language is necessary.
D．An example of the conflict of verbal and nonverbal messages.
17．What was the task of the 82 Yale students ?
A．Try to win the nervous student’s trust.
B．Identify the types of body language.
C．Respond to the nervous student’s request.
D．Express nervousness in their words.
18．What would probably win kindness from strangers?
A．Positive attitude to nervousness. B．Good manners in front of others.
C．Sincere verbal expressions. D．Nonverbal cues of nervousness
19．What is the purpose of   the writer in the last paragraph?
A．Give some warnings. B．Present some facts.
C．Offer suggestions. D．Make a prediction

Famous Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping and his research team’s experiment of planting saltwater-tolerant(耐盐碱) rice in desert areas of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates proved to be a success, with one type of rice producing more than 7.5 tons per hectare(公顷), Xinhua reported.
Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in tidal flats(滩涂)or other areas with heavy salt content. It was the world’s first successful case of planting rice in a tropical desert area, standing as China’s contribution to improving the ability of people in desert areas to be self-sufficient in main foods. In January, the center chose dozens of types of hybrid rice and planted them on small places of desert areas near Dubai. After five months of growth, the center invited experts from India, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and other countries for evaluation, and found three types of rice producing more than 6 tons per hectare. In June, a second evaluation will be carried out for middle-season rice.
The technology of saltwater-tolerant rice plays a key role in the success as the natural environment of the Dubai desert is terrible for rice growth. The daytime temperatures could be as high as over 50 ℃, and nighttime temperatures could drop by 30 ℃. Humidity stays below 20 percent and there are sandstorms from time to time. The biggest challenge is the desert soil, which is low in organic matter and unable to keep soil water as it is totally sand. To make it worse, sea water remains just 7.5 meters below the soil, which makes it easy to be full of salt.
With this success, the center and the private investment office of the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai plan to set up a 100-hectare experimental farmland in Dubai, to test the production costs and farming techniques(耕种技术) of the saltwater-tolerant rice and prepare for promotion. The two parties will construct a 100-hectare standard farmland in 2019 and speed up rice planting in 2020.
20．Which of the following statements is true according to paragraph 2?
A．Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in areas with rich soil.
B．Dubai is the most successful country in planting saltwater-tolerant rice.
C．Chinese team play a great role in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in desert areas.
D．Planting saltwater-tolerant rice can be easily achieved in many tropical desert-areas.
21．What’s the most difficult thing for rice growth in Dubai desert ?
A．Its soil is short of organic matter and hard to keep soil water.
B．It’s just 6.5 meters above the sea water and easy to be full of salt.
C．It is extremely expensive to conduct experiments in tropical desert areas.
D．Its daytime temperature could be up to 50 ℃ and humidity stays below 20%.
22．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Chinese team help expand the farming of saltwater-tolerant rice.
B．The rice experiment is of great importance for the tropical desert-areas.
C．Chinese team succeeds in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in Dubai’s desert.
D．The United Arab Emirates tries to improve the desert ecological environment.
23．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．There will be no starvation all over the world in 2020.
B．No more experimental farmland will be set up in Dubai .
C．In 2020 the production of saltwater-tolerant rice will be twice of that in 2019.
D．More efforts will be put into the experimental farmland to improve the saltwater-tolerant rice planting.

Do you need to throw your smartphone away to live your best life? Not necessarily, according to researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum who suggest that we could all benefit from cutting down on screen time — just only a little bit time.
On average, we spend more than three hours a day on our smartphone screens. Between social media, news feeds, endless video games, and an app for pretty much everything else, there’s always something to draw our attention. In recent years, studies have blamed(责备) smartphones for modern problems ranging from rising anxiety rates to neck pain. It begs the question: Are people all really better off turning back to landlines(座机)?
“The smartphone is both a blessing and a curse,” says study leader Dr. Julia Brailovskaia, whose team set out to answer that question by gathering together 619 volunteers, hoping to know how much the smartphone is good for us. 200 people put their smartphones completely aside for a week; 226 reduced the amount of time they used the device by one hour a day; 193 people didn’t change anything in their behavior.
Researchers interviewed each person about both their overall lifestyle habits and well-being four months later after the experimental week ended. “We found that both completely giving up the smartphone and reducing its daily use by one hour had positive effects on the well-being of the participants(参与者),” as Brailovskaia sums up the upshots. Notably, changing their smartphone habits for just one week appeared to produce lasting outcomes to the subjects(实验对象). Even four months afterward, participants who were told to avoid using their smartphones totally were using their phones for an average of 38 minutes less per day.
Meanwhile, the “one hour less” group were using their phones as much as 45 minutes less per day after four months. This group also showed improved life satisfaction, more exercise, and less depression(沮丧).
“It’s not necessary to completely give up the smartphone to feel better,” Brailovskaia concludes.
24．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A．To stress the benefits of smartphones.
B．To state disadvantages of the experiment.
C．To explain why the experiment was done.
D．To answer the question on the smartphones.
25．What did the researchers do to the volunteers before testing them?
A．They trained them.
B．They interviewed them.
C．They gave them a physical exam.
D．They divided them into 3 groups.
26．What does the underlined word “upshots” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．purpose B．results C．reasons D．doubts
27．What is the text mainly about?
A．Fewer smartphones, more well-being.
B．No smartphone use is the best policy.
C．Smartphones are a part of our lives.
D．A small smartphone, two big sides.

On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.
On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorizing; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.
28．Why did Juliet feel down?
A．Because she failed her science test.
B．Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.
C．Because she knew nothing about planting.
D．Because she had trouble memorizing a unit.
29．In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learning?
A．Memorizing. B．Understanding. C．Questioning. D．Testing.
30．What does Juliet think of the writer’s suggestion?
A．Useless. B．Unique. C．Helpful. D．Unpractical.
31．Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．Learning from Teaching B．An Unexpected Test
C．A Creative Father D．Preparing for Teaching

I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(厨房洗涤盆) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer for three minutes, remove from heat, let stand for five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.
35．While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to________.
A．keep ourselves busy B．get absent-minded
C．grow anxious D．stay focused
36．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A．The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B．The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D．The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
37．What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A．Take it seriously. B．Don’t rely on others.
C．Do something else. D．Don’t lose heart.
38．The author supports his view by ________.
A．exploring various causes of “waits”
B．describing detailed processes of “waits”
C．analysing different categories of “waits”
D．revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”
