Have you ever felt tired or had too much stress?
Do you know how to deal with them? Here is some advice about these.
Learn to relax. Overwork is the main reason why so many students feel tired and stressed. Cut down some of the jobs you need to do each day so that you can only concentrate on the most important things. Leaving time for activities that are relaxing and fun. This might mean reading a good book, listening to the music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.
Get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to concentrate on the things you need to do.
Exercise regularly and eat well. Don’t rush through your meals. Eat less junk food or fast food. Eat healthy food instead.
Get to know pleasant people. Some people are optimistic, while others not. Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them and you’ll be as happy as them.
Learn to be calm(镇定的)when you face any problem. Find out the best option（选项） from those that are in your mind. Knowing that you are able to solve problems is a good way to build up your self-confidence.
Have a happy attitude（态度）. Your attitude decides the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? Learn to think more positively(积极地) about the difficulties you face. Don’t look at the half empty cup in your life.What is the meaning of the “optimistic” word in Paragraph 4?

| A．Having an active attitude towards life. |

Studying abroad is an amazing experience, especially when you come to Australia as an overseas high school student. You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.
There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.
Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines(使结合) “Good Friday” and “Easter Monday”. Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
The Chinese New year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do his or her normal duties.

Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
Use paper with lines
Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember that those capital letters are written properly.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.
Hold your pencil correctly
When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs, of course!

The baby elephant, Sheila, was moved out of Belfast Zoo because of fears she might be hit by bombers during the Belfast Blitz (闪电战) of 1941.
She was one of the lucky ones. A lot of the animals were killed because of fears they might escape during the bombing and attack people. They included a tiger, a black bear, a wolf, a penguin, and two polar bears.
But Sheila was walked down the road by zoo-keepers to a nearby house where a woman took her in and kept her in her backyard for several months until the bombing was over.
The woman has never been identified (确认) and the zoo knows her only as “the elephant angel”. As the zoo celebrates its 75th birthday, people have decided to try to find the elephant’s saver. Mark Challis is the manager of Belfast Zoo. He explained a bit more about Sheila’s story.
“Well, we know that Sheila, the elephant that was in the zoo at that time spent some time living with a lady relatively near to the zoo and we have one sweet photo, you can see it on our zoo website.”
“In the photo you can see the elephant with the lady in her back garden and that’s almost all we know. So we’re just trying to find a little bit more information and we are not even sure if the lady is alive today, but maybe her relatives or somebody will recognize the back of that house and we can fill in some detail on this story.”
Once the bombing was over, Sheila went back to the zoo and lived for another quarter of a century. She died of a skin disease in 1966. How many years has the zoo been open?
| A．For 25 years. | B．For 75 years. |
| C．For half a century. | D．For several months. |
Which of the following is right according to Paragraph Three?
| A．The zoo-keepers walked her there. |
| B．The zoo-keepers used a big truck to get her there. |
| C．The elephant escaped and ran to the garden herself. |
| D．The zoo-keepers used bombers to frighten her away from the zoo. |
What happened to the unlucky animals in the zoo before the bombing?
| A．They were taken to a safe place. |
| B．They started to attack people. |
| C．They were killed. |
| D．They all escaped from the zoo. |
What information do people have about “the elephant angel”?
| A．She owned a zoo website. |
| B．She used to live close to the zoo. |
| C．She is still alive. |
| D．Her relatives live in her old house. |
Why was the photo posted on the website?

| B．To celebrate the zoo‘s birthday. |
| C．To find the elephant angel. |
| D．To explain the war to the public. |
Maybe you will feel surprised when you are told that hot drink you're drinking could actually make you colder.
And that's not the only thing making it hard to stay warm when the temperature continues to drop around you. You're going to need all the advice you can get to stay warm this winter.
Below are 5 things that'll help you avoid having to do this all winter.
1. Loneliness can lower your body temperature.
The lack of social contact can lead to physical consequences. In other words, giving someone the "cold shoulder" can actually make them feel colder.
2. Hot drinks might actually cool you off.
When having a hot drink, your tongue nerves “tells” the rest of your body that something "hot" is coming and you need to start sweating. This will not help you become warm. On the opposite, consuming too much of a cold drink can actually warm you up because it causes your blood vessels to tighten.
3. You don't catch a cold because of cold weather.
Exposure to lower temperatures doesn't give you a cold by itself. Instead, the rise in sickness and colds in the winter months is mainly because people spending more time indoors, which allows germs to spread between people more easily.
4. Wearing white might actually be the warmest color.
Usually we wear white in summer and darker clothes in winter because black clothes get more heat from the sun and white clothing reflects it, but this common idea might be wrong. Some researchers say that white's function as a reflector also applies to(适用于) body heat, that is to say, wearing white may trap your natural heat close to your body. Dark clothes may be less likely to trap your body heat in.
5. The cold weather can help you lose weight.
In cold temperatures the body works harder to warm itself up, not only burning more calories but also activating(激活) brown fat, which burns them more efficiently than white fat. So, some people believe that punishing themselves with icy-cold temperatures can help them lose more weight.
We can read this passage possibly in ___________.
| A．a textbook | B．a sports magazine |
| C．a science magazine | D．a novel |

| A．The black one. | B．The white one |
| C．The dark one | D．The brown one |

The singer, Mick Jagger, sings a song that tells us we can’t always get what we want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. In the past years my parents have told me this saying many times. But I didn’t listen to them.
This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I can’t see her and she is having a difficult time in school. So last month, I tried to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money. Finally I thought I could get a job and work hard to earn some money. I applied to Safeway Company and I succeeded.
I have worked at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to see my girlfriend. The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. We both smiled.

Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude(态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions.
Speak loud When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.

Grammar is the way a language works. People sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language; but in fact no natural languages have rules. If we use the word “rules”, we believe that some people have made the rules first and now people speak the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages were started by people making sounds which gradually(渐渐地) changed into words, phrases, and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call grammar is simply a description(描述) of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The answer is “No”. Many people in the world speak their mother language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word “grammar”. But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is “Yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly.” It’s important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
So think of grammar as something good, something helpful, something that you can use to find your way like a signpost(路标) or a map.

Once an Englishman named Jack Brown went to Russia for a holiday. He stayed there for several months and then came home again. Some of his friends visited him a few days after he got back. “I had a very dangerous trip while I was in Russia,” Jack said to them. “I wanted to see a friend of mine in the country and the bad weather made me very late. So I was still traveling through a forest in a sleigh(雪橇) when the sun went down. It was a long way from my friend’s house when about twenty wolves began to follow my sleigh. It was very dark in the forest. There was thick snow on the ground. It was cold, and there were no houses for miles and miles. First I heard the wolves. The noise was terrible! The horses heard them, too. They were frightened and began running faster. Then I saw long, gray forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near us. They were running very fast, and they didn’t seem to get tired like the horses.”
“What did you do?” one of Jack’s friends asked.
“When the wolves got very near,” Jack answered, “I put up my gun and shot the first wolf. The sleigh was moving about, but I hit the animal and killed it. Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so our sleigh got away from them for a few minutes.”
“Then they finished their meal, and I heard them coming again. The moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes I saw them running among the trees once more. They came nearer again, and then I shot another of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it.”
“The same thing happened again and again, and my horses became more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after about two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following us.”

This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne《友谊地久天长》. It is the traditional music played during the New Year’s celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.
