Students always have lots of school work     1     (do), and then there are tests and exams     2     (worry) about. While it’s OK to worry a little, be careful not to worry too much. If you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health at risk. You should find time     3     (relax), but you should also pay attention to your ways of relaxation. One day, a student complained to me that her eyes often hurt. I asked her what she did every day, and she told me she studied during the day and then watched soap operas on her smartphone in the evening. Of course, I guessed immediately what the cause of the eye pain might be.

You see, during the daytime, she was using her eyes     4     (study) from books, and during the evening, she was using her eyes to watch soap operas on her smartphone. No wonder her eyes were hurting-she chose the wrong way to relax! When she relaxed by watching soap operas, she was able     5     (rest) her brain, but at the expense of her eyes.

Let me give you some tips:
A. Take a short break every 45 minutes to one hour. Get up from your seat, look into the distance, and try     6     (get) some fresh air. You will feel greatly refreshed.
B. Exercise for 30 minutes or more a day. Try a new sport, ride a bike to school, or walk a lot. It will take your mind off your daily worries and it’s healthy, too
C. Take up a hobby. Give yourself 20 minutes a day to do something you really like. Sing and dance. Play badminton or go     7    (bowl), paint. This will make you happier and help     8     (reduce) stress.

    9     (remember): All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. With these techniques, you should feel much more relaxed, allowing you     10     (perform) much better in your schoolwork.

5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village. The village was located in the heart of a big jungle(丛林). Surrounded by the high mountains and in the shade of green trees, the villagers happily lived a life of happiness.

All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read, let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Her parents had made sure that their only child got everything possible.

Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. Sometimes, she even told stories to her friends, adding her own touch of curiosity every now and then to different stories, making them more interesting. She wanted to inspire the sparks of curiosity and imagination in them.

One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous searches, she came upon an abandoned cottage(遗弃的小屋). The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was hardly hanging and the wood was about to break apart into pieces. Even though Hannah’s mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity drove her to approach it.

6 . A decadelong study of older adults in China has found that a healthy lifestyle is linked to slower memory decline even when people carry a risky gene for Alzheimer’s.

Memory loss is a common part of aging. While there is no cure for most conditions that cause cognitive decline, lifestyle has received increasing attention as it is relatively easy to manage with potential benefits for overall health, including memory.

In a report in the latest issue of British Medical Journal, researchers from China’s National Center for Neurological Disorders and other medical institutes followed 29,000 people aged at least 60 years with normal cognitive abilities for up to 10 years. Forty-nine percent of the participants were women.

The participants were from 12 provinces from the north, south and west of China, representing the geographical characteristics, degree of urbanization, economic status, dietary patterns, and cultural and social differences in China.

At the beginning of the study in 2009, the researchers tested participants’ memory function with the Auditory Verbal Learning Test, one of the most widely used word-learning tests. They were also tested for the APOE gene, the most common gene linked with Alzheimer’s. Around 20 percent of the participants were carriers of the risk gene.

The participants received assessments in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. In the follow-ups, six healthy lifestyle factors were analyzed: a healthy diet (adherence to recommended food items), regular physical exercise (at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercises per week), active social contact (for example, seeing friends and family at least twice a week), active cognitive activity (for example, reading, writing, playing chess at least twice a week), non-smoking and never drinking alcohol.

1. According to the study, what can help us reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s?
