Exercise 2 高考英语阅读理解练习

On US TV shows，you may sometimes see rubber balls on people’s desks.These balls are known as “stress relief balls”.People can squeeze them when they feel stressed out.It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing，they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.

“We don’t all get the big，sunny corner office，the comfortable chair，or four weeks of vacation at work.A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day，” wrote Joseph Shrand，a professor at Harvard University，in his book Manage Your Stress.

Indeed，stress is a big problem for many people.Fortunately，we have many ways to deal with it.In fact，the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China.Back in the Han dynasty(BC 202-AD 220)，soldiers used walnuts(核桃) to get rid of stress.By squeezing them during moments of anxiety，soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle.In the Ming dynasty(AD 1368-1644)，people started rolling the walnuts in their hands.Ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts，or balls made from iron or stone，around in their hands.This helped them relax as well.

And today，we have many gadgets(小器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls.One example is the popular fidget spinner，which keeps your hand busy with an easy task—spinning the gadget around.There’s also the fidget cube，which features different “gimmicks”(花招) on each side of the cube.You can click，spin，pull，push and roll different parts of the cube.

These gadgets may look like simple toys，but perhaps we should take them more seriously than they are given credit for.“After all，the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping，” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.

Exercise 3 新题型写作练习

读后续写  阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy.

However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around." His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle." His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest." Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She thought that she could make a difference.

She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children stared to laugh when she found a stone bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.

Paragraph 1:

   Mrs. Thompson, her voice choked up with tears, thanked her students for their presents.

___________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

   Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding as groom's mother.

___________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 1:

Mrs. Thompson, her voice choked up with tears, thanked her students for their presents. And then she showed how she liked Teddy's presents, putting the bracelet on, and using some of the perfume on her wrist. From then on, Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded and he showed much interest in study. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.

Paragraph 2:

Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding as groom's mother. She used the bracelet and the perfume which were the present of that year. At the wedding ceremony, she met the man with good manners. He said to her, "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson. Today you smelled just like my mom used to." Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, "Teddy, you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I'm so proud that today I can be your mother!"
