• 2．Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.In a hurry to dive into the cool water，he ran out of the back door，leaving behind shoes，socks，and shirt as he went.
     He flew into the water，not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake，a crocodile was swimming toward him.His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two.In great fear，she ran toward the water，shouting to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice，the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother.It was too late.Just as he reached her，the crocodile reached him.From the shore，the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs.That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two.The crocodile was much stronger than the mother，but the mother was much too passionate to let go.A farmer happened to drive by，heard their screams，raced from his truck，took aim and shot the crocodile.
     Remarkably，after weeks and weeks in the hospital，the little boy survived.His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal.And，on his arms，were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
     The newspaper reporter，who interviewed the boy，asked if he would show him his scars.The boy lifted his legs.And then，with obvious pride，he said to the reporter， "But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms，too.I have them because my Mom wouldn't let go."
     Never judge another person's scars，because you don't know how they were made.

  .

• 3．How do you feel about exams？Is it the one thing you dread or an experience you relish because it's your time to shine？Every year，many young people sit exams and whether they love or loathe them，most of them will face some anxiety in the lead up to the big day.
     If you're anxious about your exams，don't worry，you're not alone.It might seem like a stressful time when the pressure is onto pass that all-important test but take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who've been through the same experience as you.
     Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you alert.Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of the day.She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs，which contain a nutrient called choline - thought to help cognitive performance and improve memory as we age.And don't forget to drink lots of water to keep you hydrated-some research even suggests students who take water into the exam hall may even improve their grades.
     One thing I know I always need is a good night's sleep to help me work and think better the next day and that's what's recommended for anyone preparing for their exams.If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have revised.And it's good to wind down before bedtime too- no watching TV or chatting on social media!
     A good way to reduce your stress is to write down your anxieties.This is something that Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council recommends because it can 'free your mind'.She also says sitting on your bed when you're cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress.Revising for exams can also sometimes seem relentless，so it's good to take breaks and reward yourself will a small treat，like a cake or a quick run around the block.There comes a point when your brain can't absorb any more information so you'll also need to know when to stop.
     But if all this talk about revising and exams is still stressing you out，be assured that there are some people who will always be more on edge than you：your parents!They're there to support you but they'll be biting their fingernails，worrying about you and the final results.So maybe you need to give them some advice chill out，everything will be OK!
  
  （1）which can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Eating a balanced diet before exams.
  B．Having a good sleep before exams.
  C．Dealing with exam stress properly.
  D．Never worry about my study，parents.
  （2）what can be inferred from Paragraph 3？

  
  A．We should make breakfast by ourselves instead of eating out.
  B．Eating the right food can contribute to a longer life.
  C．We'd better drink some water while taking exams.
  D．Most of us usually think little of breakfast.
  （3）Which is not as advisable way for an examinee according to the passage？

  
  A．Feeling at ease with your exam.
  B．Revising on your bed before an exam.
  C．Going out for a run in the neighborhood.
  D．Turning to some students with the same experience.
  （4）The underlined phrase "chill out" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to？

  
  A．Calm down.
  B．Leave me alone.
  C．Have a good sleep.
  D．Take a deep breath.

• 4．New App Helps People Remember Faces Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming.Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress.A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue，but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
     The app，called SocialRecall，connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition，potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody，" says Barry Sandrew，who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1，000 people.
     After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer，the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media.At the event，the app is active within a previously defined geographical area.When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face，the app identifies the individual，displays the person's name，and links to his or her social media profile.To protect privacy，it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate.And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.
     Ann Cavoukian，a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures.She cautions，however，that when people choose to share their personal information with the app，they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you."
     The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia，or "face blindness，" a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met.To use this app，a person first acquires an image of someone's face，from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph，and then tags it with a name.When the camera spots that same face in real life，the previously entered information is displayed.The collected data are stored only on a user's phone，according to the team behind the app.
  
  （1）SocialRecall is used to

  .
  A．take photos
  B．identify people
  C．organize events
  D．make friends
  （2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about

  .
  A．how the app works
  B．how the app was created
  C．what makes the app popular
  D．what people can do with the app
  （3）SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by

  .
  A．giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
  B．collecting information previously entered in the phone
  C．providing the information of a person when they first meet
  D．showing the person's information when it spots a stored face
  （4）What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage？

  
  A．It may put people's privacy at risk.
  B．It has caused unintended consequences.
  C．It can prevent some communication disorders.
  D．It is praised by users for its protective measures.

• 5．How can I fight laziness？
  Lazy people will never amount to anything in life．However，laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind．（36）

  
  Many people lack sleep constantly，since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work．These people have little motivation once they arrive home．Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things．By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest，you can fight laziness throughout the day．
  Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active．Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task．Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone．（37）

  
  Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them．A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness．（38）

  
  Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy，such as a good dinner or a film．
  Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home．Couples and children may all have different energy levels，but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately．（39）

  
  Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal．Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task．It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people．（40）

  
  Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits．
  
  A．To fight family laziness，set an example．
  B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important．
  C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep．
  D．Finally，taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness．
  E．With strong determination，you will be able to achieve your goal．
  F．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life．
  G．Create a reward system for yourself，just as parents do for the children．
