12．（10分）When the great library of Alexandria was burned，the story goes that one book was saved.But it was not a valuable book，and a poor man bought it for a few coins.
The book wasn't very interesting，but between its pages there was something very interesting.It was a thin paper on which was written the secret of the touchstone（试金石）!The touchstone was a small pebble（卵石）that could turn any common metal into gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.But the secret was this：The real stone would feel warm，while ordinary pebbles were cold.
So the man sold his house，bought a tent，camped on the seashore，and began testing pebbles.He thought that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and put them down again，he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times.So，when he felt one that was cold，he threw it into the sea.He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.Yet he went on and on this way.Pick up a pebble.Cold—throw it into the sea.Pick up another.Throw it into the sea.The days turned into months and the months into years.
One day，however，about midafternoon，he picked up a pebble and it was warm.He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done.He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up.So when the one he wanted came along，he still threw it away.

13．（10分）What subject do you worry about the most at school？Many students worry about math.Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam.Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself.But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful.
"For people who are anxious about math，posture makes a big difference，"said Erik Peper from San Francisco State University.That's right—sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students.They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped—over（趴倒的）position，or sitting up straight.After the test，56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping over is a defensive（防御的）posture.It can bring negative memories in the body and brain.This can stop you from thinking clearly，Peper said.
Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture.But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult，Science Daily reported.

B.To compare differences between postures.
C.To explain why slumping over makes exams harder.
D.To give an example of a bad posture during exams.

（5）What's the main idea of this passage？
