1 . Everyone has his own stress. If the stress is not lowered, they will become psychological (心理的) problems. But many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secrets.

A recent report says about 18% of teenagers in China have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.

Zhang Qiang, a junior school student from China, could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons. He was afraid of exams. When he looked at the exam paper, he couldn’t think of anything to write. Another student, a 15-year-old girl called Wu Yan from Guangdong often argues with her classmates, even her parents, because they can’t agree with each other on some ideas. She became so angry with them that she started to do stupid things.

We all need to find some ways to lower our stress. When we have problems, we need to talk to our parents or teachers. In addition, we can go to see a doctor if we feel unhappy or unwell. Last but not least, we need to relax ourselves by doing sports or taking part in some group activities.

3 . Homework is your teachers’ way of valuating (评估) how much knowledge you have learned in class. As a student, you always have too much homework, but you have to finish it. Here are a few steps to help you finish your homework quickly.

Make a homework plan. First, write the tasks down in your notebook so that you can make a proper plan. Second, use any free time in school to work on your homework.

Choose a good place to do your homework. Find a desk at home, which doesn’t need to be very big, just big enough to allow you to lay out (摆放) your school things. You had better not do your homework before a computer or on your bed. It’s hard for you to concentrate (集中注意力) if you do that.

Get to work. When you start doing your homework at home, do the hardest problems first. Then when you feel tired, you can do the simple ones. But don’t spend too much time on a difficult problem. You can ask an adult for help; also you can call or email a classmate for advice.

Have a rest. Having a 15-minute rest every hour is good for you, or you may be too tired to do your homework wisely (明智的).

After you finish your homework, check it over. Be sure to put it away safely in your schoolbag. Now you are free to play outside.

7 .     1     Your head houses store (储存着) the most valuable part of your body — your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.

    2     Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.

    3     Muscles (肌肉) are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move — whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.

    4     Your body needs to take in oxygen (氧气) from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs (肺) where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.

    5     When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze (打喷嚏). This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.

10 . You may think that having less water is related to having less rain, but it is now a problem in southern China, an area in which it rains often.

In December 2021, the government said that Shenzhen was facing its most serious water shortage (短缺) ever. Other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty” despite having more rain and being close to more rivers and lakes, The Paper reported. So why are they still short on water?

In these big cities, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more water. Climate (气候) change is making the water problem worse. Most cities in Guangdong province depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up. Water pollution also makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water well. Some cities have enough rain but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water, so the water goes out into the sea.

But there is a hidden water resource right under our feet. That’s “groundwater (地下水)”. We can’t see it. However, it plays an important role in our lives. About 98 percent of Earth’s fresh water is groundwater. It is 60 times as plentiful (丰富的) as the fresh water in lakes and rivers. But in many places, people overuse and pollute groundwater. We should pay more attention to this hidden water resource (资源).

1. What does “thirsty” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Drink water.

B．Short on water.

C．Overuse water.

D．Store water.

2. Which of the following is the reason for the water shortages in Chengdu and Guangzhou?

A．Being far away from rivers.	B．Growing populations.
C．Having less rain.	D．Air pollution.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Most cities in the southern part of China have enough water.

B．98 percent of Earth’s fresh water is in lakes and rivers.

C．Areas where it rains often may also have water problems.

D．Guangdong province can get enough water from the Dongjiang River.

4. Where does most fresh water on the earth come from?

A．Rivers.

B．Lakes.

C．Sea.

D．Underground.

5. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?

A．To help people learn more about the water shortage problem.

B．To call on people to use more underground water.

C．To show the relationship between water and rain.

D．To introduce the water problem of different cities.
