         Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when
    she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before
    a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would
    blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer. My low grades on the tests
    did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He
    said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, but I was
    so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold
    my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down!"
         These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries
    and he is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student can't
    write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often
    a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has
    been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse 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 how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to
    measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help
    them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained
    to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work
    at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
         An expert at the University of California explains. "With almost all students, relaxation and less stress
    are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all
    have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great."
    1. To "blank out" in the first paragraph is probably______.
    A. to be like a blanket           
    B. to be unsure of an answer
    C. to show wrong knowledge to the teacher
    D. to be unable to think clearly
    2. Poor grades are usually the result of _______.
    A. poor hygienic habits          
    B. laziness
    C. lack of sleep                
    D. inability to form good study habits
    3. To deal with this problem, students say they want to ______.
    A. take a short course on anxiety
    B. read about anxiety and know how to deal with it
    C. be able to manage or understand their anxiety
    D. take tests to prove they are not anxious
    4. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety  program
    B. most of the students felt relaxed after taking a University of California counseling course
    C. students found it difficult to improve even if they had taken a special test anxiety course

                                    How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?
         Mothers who feel their children don' t appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half
    the time, their children are lying to them.A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that
    undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations.Still, mums should feel better than
    total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77 % of the time.
         Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked
    77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whethe
    r they lied at any time.DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead
    someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.
         The students told an average of two lies a day.They said they had been studying when they had
    been out drinking.One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would
    send him extra money.Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were
    pretty."They are everyday lies," says DePaulo.
         DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to.
    College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time.
    In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings,
    rather than self-serving lies.
         Romantic partners are somewhere between close friends and acquaintances.Students lied to
    romantic partners about a third of the time. DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty
    than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance.
         Mothers can take heart from one other finding. They may have been lied to, but at least their children
    talked to them.The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little
    interaction with them.
    1. According to the passage, college students felt closest to ______.
    A. mothers            
    B. best friends    
    C. acquaintance        
    D. romantic partners
    2. Female students lied to their roommates to       .
    A. get money from them          
    B. offer them the services
    C. gain more security      
    D. make them happy
    3. What is the purpose of this article?
    A. To present a fact.              
    B. To argue an idea.
    C. To tell a story.            
    D. To explain a theory.

         New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is
    known as COOL-Country of Origin Labeling.
         American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of
    origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.
         Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds
    of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded. For example, organ meats are free to
    be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food.
         The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand
    choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many
    stores.
          Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For
    example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门菌病), officials blamed
    peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach (菠菜) grown in California. But
    labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods
    or foods from a particular country.
         The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations that are found.
    Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per
    violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an
    education campaign.
         Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that
    will give people more useful information.
    1.Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?
    A. Because it is economical and provides people with more choices.
    B. Because the United States is short of food supply.
    C. Because Americans need more and more food recently.
    D. Because foreign food is of higher quality than native food.
    2. What's the regulation in the new rules?
    A. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.
    B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.
    C. Stores have to label seafood by country of origin.
    D. Labeling of food should include more useful information.
    3. The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect______.
    A. right now            
    B. in a month        
    C. in three months        
    D. in half a year
    4. Consumers are more concerned about where foods came from because ______.
    A. they are curious about the country of the food origin
    B. they are particular about the tastes of the food
    C. they are concerned about food safety and want to get what they want
    D. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves

    多余项。
    A. How to take notes and rewrite in one`s own words
    B. Advantages of taking notes
    C. Taking some useful notes
    D. Taking notes is a help to create new ideas in the future
    E. Need to change information from an encyclopedia into one`s own
    F. Two ways of writing a note and their advantage
    1. 
         In school and out, many people need to put the information they find in an encyclopedia into words
    of their own. The student who is writing a composition, the businessman who is writing a report, and
    the housewife who is preparing a talk for a woman`s club often need the kind of information they find
    in an encyclopedia. But no one wants what he writes to read as it were copied from an encyclopedia.
    What you write should read as if it came from you.
    2.

          Even if you have every intention of rewriting the material in your own words, it is unwise to copy
    information from an encyclopedia word for word. Instead, write brief notes to remind yourself of the
    facts you wish to express. Later with the encyclopedia closed, you can expand those notes into
    sentences and paragraph of your own.
    3.

         The advantage of note-taking over copying is that it forces you to think for yourself at least
    twice-first when you are reading and second when you are using your notes. It is easy to copy a
    paragraph without being sure of what it means. But to make a note expressing the meaning of a
    paragraph in your own words requires you to prove to yourself that you have understood that
    paragraph. Note-taking also helps you to remember what you have read. It is much easier to
    remember what you have said in a note that someone else has said in a book. Even if author`s
    vocabulary is easily understood, it isn`t the vocabulary you naturally think of. Putting his ideas into
    your vocabulary makes those ideas yours, and yours are the ideas you best remember.
    4.
         Some people write notes in complete sentences. Others write notes that are phrases of topics.
    For example, a sentence note on the paragraph above might be “Notes help you remember.”A topical
    note for the same paragraph might be “Notes as memory helps”. Both of these are four-word notes,
    and therefore either has an advantage to save time at the moment of note-taking
    5.
         Remember that the purpose of taking notes is always for some future use, often for some future
    writing that you will do. Notes that make you think as you write are better than notes that merely help
    you remember information. The thinking writer is the one who creates something new, something that
    no one can point to and say, “Oh, I have seen that same paragraph in an encyclopedia.”

         Great changes have been taken place in my village. Ten years ago, the small and low houses, which
    lie on the north of a lake, produced much waste. As the result, the lake was serious polluted. To the
    west was a sandy field, that was the source of dust. Better still, a brickyard on the southwest side of
    the lake used up a great deal good soil. Now the poor house have been replaced by green trees and the
    brickyard by tall buildings. The sandy field that the villagers used to ploughing has been covered with fruit
