     Some students get so nervous before a test, they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian
Beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers.
     Sian Beilock;"They start worrying about the consequences. They might even statrt worring about
whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry ,
it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you
could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.
     Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution.
Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the
test.
     Sian Beilock:" what we think happens is when students put it down on paper , they think about the
worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize it"s not as had as they
might think it was before and, in essence, it prevents these thoughts from popping up when they"re
actually taking a test."
     The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two
short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
    The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second
test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part
of a team effort.
    Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the
second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an
average of five percent.
     Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams
either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.
     Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+,
compared to a B- for those who did not.
     Sian Beilock :" What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who"d done our
writing intervention, all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance.
Those students most prone to worry were peroming just as well as their classmates who don"t normally
get nervous in these testing situations."
     But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before and exam
or presentation ?Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and
still improve their performance.


1. What may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety?A. Test anxiety can improve students" performance to some degree.
B. Students" attention and memory resources run out when worred.
C. Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried
D. Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.2. Which of the following if TRUE?A. In the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better.
B. In the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse.
C. Some college students are highly anxious test-takers while others are not in the tests.
D. The result in the math test agrees with that in the biology test.3. What does the underlined phrase "popping up" mean?A. Appearing suddenly
B. Fading away
C. Becoming clearly
D. Giving out4. what is most probably sian Beilocj ?A. A psychology professor.
B. A philosophy researcher.

     Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn(独
角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher
Aristotle theorized(推理) that there were two types of unicorns-the socalled Indian Ass and the Oryx, 
  a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family,   town council or university as
their special sign.  Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.
     According to the legend,   anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has
a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorntrappers,   in order to catch this
magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn,   was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then
to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully,   the creature could then be captured when
its horn was stuck in the tree.
     When hollowed out and used as a drinkingcup,   the unicorn"s horn was said to have the power to
offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed by drinking the contents
of a unicorn"s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789,   the French court was said to have
used cups made of "unicorn" horn in order to protect the king. In addition,   the horn was said to have
medicinal value,   so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight
of gold. What,   then,   was "unicorn" horn? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this
legendary creature. A drinkingcup supposedly made of "unicorn" horn was discovered to be made of the
horn of a rhino.

1. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?
A. It was not historically recorded.
B. Its horn was first used in France.
C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx.
D. It could be the symbol of a university.

2. To catch a unicorn,   the unicorntrappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT________.
A. tempting the unicorn to attack
B. making use of the tree as a protection
C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn
D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree

3. The last paragraph is mainly about________.
A. the value of the unicorn horn
B. the users of the unicorn horn
C. the price of the unicorn horn
D. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn

4. In the last paragraph,   the word "unicorn" is in quotation marks(引号) because________.
A. the cup is designed only for a royal family
B. the unicorn does not exist in reality
C. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world
D. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated

Dear son,

When at some moment I lose the memory or the   9   of our conversation, let me have the necessary

     For all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant, at least it was when I was growing up.
It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There"s no doubt that
dairy products (乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products
are supplemented with Vitamin D and A.
     While it"s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake
doesn"t necessarily lower a person"s risk for fractures (骨折). A Harvard study found that people who
drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank
a glass or less a week.
     There"s no doubt that we need calcium. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart
disease. Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which
may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems. Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk
of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general.
     Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet
least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a
nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not, find some others. Because some claims may not
be completely true, when I eat a cream, I"m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing I"m
thinking delicious.
1. Which of the following is TRUE on the milk?
A. The more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be.
B. The more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.
C. The less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.
D. There is no link between them.
2. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except _________.
A. cardiovascular problems
B. heart disease
C. prostate cancer
D. stomach cancer
3. The underlined words "some others" in the last paragraph refer to _________.
A. dairy products      
B. milk
C. food
D. cream
4. What"s the author"s attitude towards milk?
A. He doesn"t like milk any more.  
B. He used to drink milk as a child.
C. He regards milk as a nutrient.      
D. He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something.
5. We can learn from the text that _________.
A. All the claims are not completely true.      
B. High milk intakes can lead to cancer.
C. It"s necessary for you to reduce milk intakes.    
D. Give up milk for your health.
