But some students do better under pressure, while others do not. So, why do some students do better under pressure? It all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical(化学物) in our body that sends signals (信号) in the brain. It is very important—it can affect（影响）memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance（平衡）of dopamine--not too much or too little. Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly or gradually (逐渐地). Exam success can be decided by how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance, according to new research(研究) from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo. What happens when we take an exam? If you become very stressed, your brain will start to overload on dopamine. It is like a cup overflowing with water. The quicker you are able to go back to an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can concentrate（集中精力）, helping you do better in a test. Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. That’s the difference between a good mark and a bad mark. But don’t be afraid, there is good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you’ll be. So, it is true that practice does make perfect. 1. Dopamine is a chemical in our body that______ . A. puts us under a lot of pressure B. sends signals in the brain C. keeps our brain working D. we need a lot 2. What will dopamine cause us to do? ① to remember something ② to have a good rest ③ to pay attention to the teachers ④ to choose the way we learn A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 3.What does the underlined word “overload” mean in Chinese? A. 产生 B. 下载 C. 超载 D. 出现 4. Some students do better under stress because______. A. they have a lot of dopamine B. they can go back to a good balance of dopamine quickly C. they go back to a balance of dopamine slowly D. they have less dopamine in their bodies 5. What can’t we learn from the passage? A. Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals in the brain. B. Our brain either takes out dopamine quickly or gradually. C. The more quickly you go back to a balance of dopamine, the better you can do in a test. D. Practice cannot help you do better under stress. B Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital (数字的) way in recent years. With the help of digital technology, villagers are living an easier and happier life. Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pests (害虫). Now, there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, AI machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥于) fields and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones to help with their farm work. More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 1.

With so many travel destinations (目的地) to choose from, picking the ideal one can be a difficult task. 41 If you only have a short time to go on vacation, you should think about visiting one or at most two destinations. 42 You will spend too much time travelling and little time relaxing and enjoying yourself. 43 You’d better not visit destinations with uncomfortable snowstorms or heavy rains that might make your travel experience terrible. You can’t control the weather. However, you can plan the trip by choosing destinations with ideal weather conditions. Find a destination which is not too hot and cold for you. Personally, I always think about the money when choosing a travel destination. 44 If planned well, the trip will still be perfect with less money. I often choose a travel destination according to the activities I’m interested in. I always ask myself “Why do I plan the trip? What can I get from the trip?” 45 If you aren’t sure about your purpose (目的), it may take you a lot of time to pick out popular tourist activities in different cities across the world. That’s why you should never go on vacation without planning. A．Weather is also what you should care a lot about. B．So remember to think about your reasons for travelling. C．You might feel tired if you visit too many places in a short trip. D．I have prepared several tips for you to choose the right destination. E．Choosing where to spend your vacation doesn’t have to be so hard. F．Searching online when planning will help you save on flight and living costs. G．At times, I think it’s a good idea to ask someone for help with the destination. 1._________2._______3.________4._________5._________ 五、词汇 1.Neil’s coach gave him several suggestions to __________(try not to do sth.)getting lost. 2.---Why are you in such a hurry, Cathy? ---My dad and mum don’t __________________(let someone do something) me to stay out late. 3.Look!

When Mrs. March heard the word “telegram”, she took it quickly from Hannah. She read it and sat down suddenly in her chair. Her face was white. Laurie ran to get some water for her while Jo read the telegram aloud. The girls went and stood around Mrs. March’s chair in silence. Mrs. March soon recovered(复原) from the shock. She held out her arms to her daughters and said, “I must go to him immediately. You must help me, girls!” Mrs. March asked Laurie to send a telegram to Mr. Hale to tell him she was going to take the first train the next morning. Beth went to tell Mr. Laurence about that. Then Mrs. March made a list and told Jo to buy some extra food and clothes for her father. Amy and Hannah brought the black trunk to Mrs. March’ bedroom. Meg helped to pack. It was dark when Jo finally arrived home. She had a very strange look on her face. She put some money in her mother’s hand and said, “ This is for father. Buy something nice for him and bring him home!” “Twenty-five dollars! My dear, where did you get it?” said Mrs. March in a surprised voice. “I earned it,” replied Jo, taking off her hat. Everybody in the room gasped(倒吸气). Jo’s hair was as short as a boy’s. “Your hair! You cut your beautiful hair!” cried her mother. “ It wasn’t necessary to do that!” “I want to do something for Father,’ replied Jo. Mrs. March looked at her and smiled.
