Face changing Generally speaking,there are three kinds of face changing,including wiping the face, 2 blowing the face and pulling the face. Puppet(木偶)show This is a silent show of a puppet without singers or players.The performer uses only his pair of clever hands to control the puppet to make different and sometimes difficult movements just like a real person playing in a show.Puppet shows usually tell stories about love. Hand shadow show It doesn't take the performers much time to make the shapes of different animals like rabbits and horses with a pair of hands. Fire spitting Most people think that this is the best part of the opera.The fire spitting out from the mouth of the performer can get to 2m high!Both face changing and fire spitting came from the old Shu Kingdom over one thousand years ago. 19.What does the underlined word "witty"in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?

But today I see something important.I am not helpless.That afternoon,when I found the courage to talk to my teacher Ms.Li really changed things.She was so helpful.She told me to manage my time better and not stay up too late.I still remember her words"You need to deal with stress in a healthy way,like taking a deep breath or going for a jog." I also followed her advice on making friends.I began talking to my classmates more openly, and I even lent a good book to a friend.Slowly,I wasn't left out anymore!When my classmates gathered to chat or work on group tasks,they started inviting me to join them. Joining the basketball team was challenging at first,but I learned that it's okay to make mistakes-that's how we learn.Little by little,I grew more confident and hopeful. Looking back now,I don't regret those difficult days.They taught me how to balance school and life.I'm thankful for this period of time,and I believe I can shine in my own way. I'm closing today with this thought:I'm doing better than I thought. Good night! 23.What helped the writer start to change? A.Talking to a trusted teacher. B.Joining the basketball team C.Reading a book with a friend D.Working harder on math. 24.What did the writer think of the difficult period of time? A.It helped the writer become a better person. B.It could be solved by joining a sports team. C.It was a common experience for every student. D.It was mainly caused by math problems. 25.How did the writer feelings change in the story?

B.To give useful advice on making friends. C.To share success after many challenges. D.To look back on the past and encourage herself/himself. D If you feel stressed at school,what can you do to make yourself happier?Some may eat their favorite food or listen to some music.Others may go for a walk or get some exercise.Anew study found another great way to lower students'stress-playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine.35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test.The children were divided into 3 groups.The students in the first group spent 4 minutes with a dog and its trainer.They watched the trained dogs perform and even played with them.They did this twice a week for 4 weeks.The second group spent the same amount of time doing exercise to relax.The last group did neither of these things. During this time,the scientists recorded the students'cortisol levels(皮质醇水平).Cortisol is a stress hormone ()The more stressed you feel,the more cortisol you will have in your body.What did the scientists find?Both the second and third groups showed rises in cortisol levels. The first group,however,showed no big increase.And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs. According to the study,students enjoy playing with dogs,and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way,which is good for students'health.But here comes the next question:is 4 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time?Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer. 27.Why is the first paragraph written? A.To lead in the topic. B.To show the argument. C.To surprise the readers. D.To explain the latest research results. 28.Which one shows the relationship between students'stress(x)and cortisol levels(y)? 29.What does the underlined word "them"in the last paragraph refer to? A.Trainers. B.Dogs. C.Scientists. D.Students. 30.What may the scientists study next? A.More useful ways to lower stress. B.New skills of keeping pets at home. C.The amount of time to play with a dog.
