Concentrating on your work requires purpose and strategy. 1 The following guide provides a framework to help you achieve just that. Create an ideal working environment. The place where you study matters a lot. 2 This means putting away your phones, turning off the TV and finding a quiet space. A brightly-lit room and a comfortable chair can work wonders. Your mind will begin to associate that space with what you are working on. 3 A proper study schedule helps your brain know when it’s time to focus. Try studying for 40 to 60 minutes, followed by a 5 to 10 minutes’ break. It is a lot easier to push yourself for a set period of time, if you know you have a break coming up. 4 This step-by-step approach makes big projects less stressful. Make studying more active. To keep yourself interested in what you’re learning and deepen your understanding, vary your methods. 5 One of the most active ways to learn information is to try to teach it to someone else, as this forces you to explain concepts clearly. If you feel your mind wandering, challenge yourself with the “5 More” rule — do only five more things or answer five more questions before quitting. The power to enhance your focus lies in your hands, and it’s time to follow the guide above and take action. A．Stick to your schedule strictly. B．Manage your study time wisely. C．However, it is possible to train your brain to focus better. D．Besides, break tasks into smaller steps and settle them one at a time. E．In addition, focus on the hardest task first when you are at your best. F．The first step is to remove possible distractions from your workspace. G．These include using flashcards, rewriting notes or watching educational videos. 【答案】1．C 2．F 3．B 4．D 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。现代生活中令人分心之事无处不在，专注需要方法。文章从营造无干扰环境、合理安排时间、主动学习三方面给出建议，帮助人们训练大脑、提升专注力。 1．根据上文“In our modern world, distractions (分心之事) are everywhere, from smartphones to social media. Concentrating on your work requires purpose and strategy.(在当今这个充满纷扰的世界里，从智能手机到社交媒体，分心之事无处不在。要想专注于工作，就需要明确目标和制定策略)”以及后文“The following guide provides a framework to help you achieve just that. (以下指南将为您提供一个框架，助您达成这一目标)”可知，前文讲分心多、专注难，后文说有方法，转折引出“可以训练大脑更专注”。故C选项“但你可以训练自己的大脑更好地集中注意力”符合语境，故选C。 2．根据标题“Create an ideal working environment.(营造一个理想的工作环境)”以及后文“This means putting away your phones, turning off the TV and finding a quiet space. A brightly-lit room and a comfortable chair can work wonders. Your mind will begin to associate that space with what you are working on.(这意味着要放下手机，关掉电视，找一个安静的地方。一间光线明亮的房间和一把舒适的椅子就能产生神奇的效果。你的大脑会开始将那个空间与你正在做的事情联系起来)”可知，本段讲创造环境，后句说收手机、关电视，对应清除工作区干扰。故F选项“第一步是清除工作区域内的可能干扰因素”符合语境，故选F。 3．根据后文“A proper study schedule helps your brain know when it’s time to focus. Try studying for 40 to 60 minutes, followed by a 5 to 10 minutes’ break. It is a lot easier to push yourself for a set period of time, if you know you have a break coming up.(合理的学习计划能让你的大脑清楚地知道何时该集中精力学习。试着先学习40到60分钟，然后休息5到10分钟。如果你知道接下来会有休息时间，那么在规定的时间内努力学习会更容易些)”可知，本段核心是study schedule，讲如何安排学习与休息，即“明智管理时间”。故B选项“合理安排你的学习时间”符合语境，故选B。 4．根据后文“This step-by-step approach makes big projects less stressful.(这种循序渐进的方法能让大型项目带来的压力减小)”可知，后句“step-by-step approach”对应把任务拆小，一步步完成。故D选项“此外，将任务分解成较小的步骤，然后逐一完成”符合语境，故选D。 5．根据上文“To keep yourself interested in what you’re learning and deepen your understanding, vary your methods.(为了让自己对所学内容保持兴趣并加深理解，要变换学习方法)”可知，前句说“vary your methods”，G 项列举具体学习方法，承接自然。故G选项“这包括使用闪卡、重写笔记或者观看教育视频”符合语境，故选G。 Passage 4 If you’ve ever pulled an all-nighter or had a bad night of sleep, you know it’s difficult to stay awake in class when you’re tired. Your teacher’s voice might begin to sound like a song that makes you sleepy. 1 . Sit in the front of the room. You’ll be more encouraged to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you. Besides, it’ll be easier to pay attention when you’re in front and center for the lecture. 2 . The sound of their voices might keep you awake. Listen actively to the lesson. Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake. 3 .

They hope to improve their grades, or manage their time better. These goals sound good. However, after some time, many students find that nothing has really changed in their daily lives. 1 But turning goals into actions is not easy for many students. The reason is that their goals are far from specific. For example, a student may say, “I want to do better in English.” 2 A proper way to achieve goals is to make a clear plan that shows when, where, and how you will work toward your goal. For example, a student could say: “IF it is 4 p.m. after school, THEN I will review ten new English words.” Or, if a student wants to exercise, he or she could say: “IF it is Wednesday at 6 p.m., THEN I will run for 30 minutes.” Such clear plans show students what to do. 3 They may even give up if progress seems slow. 4 These steps should be practical (实际的) and easy to do every day. Instead of trying to get quick success, they should think about what they can do every day. Small actions are easy to begin and repeat. They help students see progress little by little. Over time, these actions can slowly build good habits and bring real change. Jack, an eighth grader, once had trouble finishing his homework on time. He often planned to “study harder,” but nothing changed. Later, he made one simple rule for himself: he would finish his homework before using his phone each evening. This small change did not take much effort. 5 After several weeks, Jack noticed that his homework was done earlier and his stress was reduced. Goals only matter when they lead to actions. Big plans may sound exciting, but small steps are what truly move students forward. A．Without them, students may feel lost. B．Yet it helped him form a better study habit. C．The biggest challenge is keeping to the plan. D．So turning goals into actions is very important. E．Goal-setting is important for achieving success. F．This sounds good, but it does not include action details. G．To turn goals into actions, students should take small steps. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．G 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学生应将目标转化为行动，通过明确计划和小步骤实现目标。 1．上文“However, after some time, many students find that nothing has really changed in their daily lives.(然而，一段时间后，许多学生发现他们的日常生活并没有真正改变)”说明设定目标却未落实的问题。下文“But turning goals into actions is not easy for many students.(但对许多学生来说，将目标转化为行动并不容易)”指出核心问题。空处承上启下，说明将目标转化为行动的重要性。选项D“So turning goals into actions is very important.(因此将目标转化为行动非常重要)”符合语境。故选D。 2．上文“For example, a student may say, “I want to do better in English.”(例如，一个学生可能会说：“我想把英语学得更好”)”给出模糊目标的例子。下文“A proper way to achieve goals is to make a clear plan that shows when, where, and how you will work toward your goal.(实现目标的正确方法是制定一个清晰的计划，说明你将在何时、何地以及如何朝着目标努力)”提出具体方法。空处指出模糊目标的问题，即缺乏行动细节。选项F“This sounds good, but it does not include action details.(这听起来不错，但它不包含行动细节)”符合语境。故选F。 3．上文“Such clear plans show students what to do.(这样清晰的计划告诉学生该做什么)”说明清晰计划的作用。下文“They may even give up if progress seems slow.(如果进展缓慢，他们甚至可能放弃)”说明负面结果。空处说明没有清晰计划的后果。选项A“Without them, students may feel lost.(没有它们，学生可能会感到迷茫)”符合语境。A选项中的“them”指代前文的“clear plans”，进一步阐述了没有清晰计划的后果，与后文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选A。 4．上文讲述了制定清晰计划的重要性，下文“These steps should be practical (实际的) and easy to do every day.(这些步骤应该是实际的，并且每天都容易做到)”以及“Small actions are easy to begin and repeat.(小行动容易开始和重复)”强调小步骤的重要性。空处总起该段，提出采取小步骤的建议。选项G“To turn goals into actions, students should take small steps.(要将目标转化为行动，学生应该采取小步骤)”符合语境。G选项中的“small steps”与后文的“These steps”和“Small actions”相呼应，符合语境。故选G。 5．上文“This small change did not take much effort.(这个小小的改变并没有花费太多精力)”说明改变的轻松。下文“After several weeks, Jack noticed that his homework was done earlier and his stress was reduced.(几周后，杰克注意到他的作业完成得更早了，压力也减轻了)”说明改变带来的好结果。空处为转折，说明小改变的积极作用。选项B“Yet it helped him form a better study habit.(但这帮助他养成了更好的学习习惯)”符合语境。B选项中的“it”指代前文的“This small change”，与后文的积极结果相呼应，符合语境。故选B。 Passage 7 How to deal with anxiety before exams? Here are some dos and don’ts that might help you with your exams. Don’t arrive too early. 1 When you’re reviewing with friends you might get more anxious. Instead, try to get there five to ten minutes earlier and keep yourself from talking about the exam to anybody. Do sleep well. Lack of sleep is a huge factor in increasing anxiety. 2 Also, you will have a harder time concentrating. So, instead of studying deep into the night, you should work on getting a regular sleep pattern. Don’t review on the day of the exam. If you’ve worked hard, and you are ready, you don’t need this. Reviewing on the day of the exam might make you feel like you’ve missed out on some topics. 3 So you had better just be rested and relaxed for the exam and do the best that you can. Do eat well. Don’t forget to have a good meal. 4 Your brain needs sugar to function properly. You have to eat something before attending an exam. It will give you more energy and lower your anxiety level. Don’t overthink about the result of the exam. Before and during an exam, don’t overthink about the result. Stay focused on the present. You should not think about your grades, your chances of getting into college, and your family’s opinion, etc. 5 Try to separate yourself from anything else. A．You are completely blinded by anxiety. B．The only thing that matters is you and the exam. C．We tend to forget to eat when we’re too anxious, but eating is essential. D．When your nervous system is not rested, it is normal to feel more anxious. E．And to be honest, if that’s the case, it’s too late, and this will make you anxious. F．You probably arrive early before an exam, but getting there too early is not a good idea. G．You want to make better use of your time, so you may think you should study later at night. 【答案】1．F 2．D 3．E 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章为应对考试焦虑提供了具体的行动指南。 1．小标题“Don’t arrive too early. (不要到得太早)”点明了本段的建议。F选项“You probably arrive early before an exam, but getting there too early is not a good idea. (你可能在考试前会早到，但到得太早并不是一个好主意)”位于小标题之下，作为段首句，既承认了考生通常会早到的普遍习惯，又直接点明“太早”的弊端，与标题呼应，并自然引出下文对“太早”可能导致的问题（与朋友讨论增加焦虑）以及“合适时间”（提前5-10分钟）的详细说明。该选项是展开论述的起始句。故选F项。 2．上文“Lack of sleep is a huge factor in increasing anxiety. (睡眠不足是加剧焦虑的一个主要因素)”点明了睡眠不足与焦虑增加的直接关联。D选项“When your nervous system is not rested, it is normal to feel more anxious. (当你的神经系统没有得到休息时，感到更焦虑是正常的)”顺承上文，从生理机制角度解释了为何睡眠不足会增加焦虑：因为神经系统未得到休息。这为上文“huge factor”提供了科学解释。下文“Also, you will have a harder time concentrating. (而且，你也会更难集中注意力)”则补充了睡眠不足的另一个负面影响。D选项与上下文逻辑紧密。故选D项。 3．上文“Reviewing on the day of the exam might make you feel like you’ve missed out on some topics. (在考试当天复习可能会让你觉得自己漏掉了一些主题)”描述了考试当天复习可能导致的心理感受(感觉遗漏知识点)。E选项“And to be honest, if that’s the case, it’s too late, and this will make you anxious. (而且老实说，如果真是那样，已经太晚了，而这会让你焦虑)”承接上文，进一步阐述了这种感受的后果：意识到遗漏也为时已晚，从而引发焦虑。“if that’s the case”指代的就是上文“feel like you’ve missed out on some topics”这种情况。这使得作者建议“不要考试当天复习”的理由更加充分。下文“So you had better...”则是在此基础上给出的结论性建议。故选E项。 4．小标题“Do eat well. (要吃好)”点明了本段的建议。上文“Don’t forget to have a good meal. (别忘了好好吃一顿)”重申了吃好饭的重要性。C选项“We tend to forget to eat when we’re too anxious, but eating is essential. (当我们过于焦虑时，我们往往会忘记吃饭，但吃饭是至关重要的)”解释了为何需要强调“吃好”——因为焦虑状态下人们容易忽视吃饭，而吃饭本身又是必不可少的。这为下文阐述“为什么吃饭重要”(为大脑供能、降低焦虑)做了铺垫。故选C项。 5．上文“Before and during an exam, don’t overthink about the result(考试前和考试期间，不要过度思考结果)”和“You should not think about your grades, your chances of getting into college, and your family’s opinion, etc. (你不应该考虑你的分数、你上大学的几率、你家人的看法等等)”列举了在考试期间应避免思考的各类与结果相关的外部因素。B选项“The only thing that matters is you and the exam. (唯一重要的是你和这场考试)”顺承上文，给出了一个积极、集中的替代性思维，将注意力从分散的外部担忧收回到“自己”和“当前考试”本身，符合“关注当下”的建议。下文“Try to separate yourself from anything else. (试着把自己从其他任何事情中分离出来)”则是实现B选项所描述状态的具体方法。故选B项。 Passage 8 Develop a Growth Mindset for High School Success Life as a senior high student is a mix of challenges and personal growth. With exams to study for, daily routines to keep, and dreams to chase, it’s easy to feel stressed or sad when things don’t go as planned. Just take it easy because these experiences fuel success. 1 . It’s about how you deal with difficulties, value small steps, and keep trying to become a better you. Stick to your plan to Beat Delay Staying determined and having a clear goal can help you beat delay.

You might not see results right away, but every math problem you solve or essay outline you write brings you closer to your goals. 2 . Value the Journey, Not Just the Result Instead of only caring about the result, learn to value the process. High school has many joyful and challenging moments — like getting a good grade after working hard, or a disappointing exam. 3 . They shape your character and get you ready for the complexities of adult life. Face Difficulties with Wisdom Mistakes and difficulties are unavoidable, but a positive attitude can turn them into chances to learn. When you get a poor grade or miss a deadline, don’t give up right away. 4 . Reflect on what goes wrong, adjust your strategies, and try again. Remember, even the most successful people have faced difficulties — their strength lies in getting back up. 5 It is the courage to learn from mistakes and the patience to grow steadily. This means embracing continuous learning, adapting to change, and insisting through difficulties. By staying consistent and open to new challenges, you will gain not only academic success but also the resilience and wisdom for a fulfilling life. Ultimately, high school is about more than exams — it is about becoming who you want to be.

It’s a fresh start, and making the most of it can set you up for success. Here are some practical tips to help you fit in well. 1 . Even missing one or two classes can turn into a bad habit.

Don’t forget to care about your mental health — turn to family or old friends when you feel down. Actively join in more activities. High school is not just about studying; it’s also a chance to grow.

High school is not just about studying; it’s also a chance to grow. Join clubs and try new things until you find what fits you.(积极参加更多活动。高中不仅仅是学习，也是一个成长的机会。加入社团，尝试新事物，直到找到适合自己的。)”点明了高中要积极参加各类活动，下文“Many schools offer free language courses, which is a great chance to learn something new and develop friendship.(许多学校提供免费的语言课程，这是学习新东西和结交朋友的好机会。)”举例说明学校的活动能带来的收获。选项D“试着参加各类活动，结交新朋友”，承接上文积极参加活动的建议，同时呼应下文活动能发展友谊的内容。故选D。 Passage 10 I woke up this morning, excited but anxious, as today was the day I would begin my journey of senior high school. The school I attended is an all-female boarding school, which is the only single-sex school in this city. 1 In single-sex schools, they have classes specially designed for their male or female students. I am curious to know what such a school looks like. Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind. Will I fit in? Will I make friends? 2 What if I make a bad impression on the other girls? What if I can’t concentrate in class as I did in junior high? After breakfast, I set off with Mom sitting beside me and Dad driving the car. We were warmly received by a group of seniors at the school gate. 3 Some of the seniors helped take my suitcase (手提箱) to the dorm (宿舍) , where I met my three roommates, Sally, Laura and Amanda. Only two of us have Chinese nationality while Sally is, Korean and Laura American, who impressed me most with her beautiful eyes and sweet smile. 4 Our school is beautiful with tall trees, bright flowers, nice-looking grassland and buildings of the southern Chinese style. A bulletin board (宣传栏) we passed by shows a lot of activity photos and says “With more than 50 student organizations on campus, there is a community for every interest”. I took a photo of the name list of the organizations so that I could study them carefully this weekend before I choose to register with some. 5 A．Will I have nice teachers? B．Are the subjects difficult or easy? C．Later I said goodbye to Mom and Dad there. D．Some people say single-sex schools are better than mixed-sex ones.

To make it go smoothly, here are some preparations you can do. 1 . Prepare your school things in advance. This includes your schoolbag, textbooks, notebooks, pens, and uniforms. Make sure your uniform is clean and tidy. You don't want to be in a hurry to find things on the morning of the first day. Learn about the school layout. If possible, visit the school before the first day. 2 . This will help you find your classroom, canteen, and toilet easily on the first day. You can also ask your seniors for help if you are not sure about the directions. Practice introducing yourself. 3 . Prepare a short self-introduction that includes your name, hobbies, and where you are from. Practice it a few times so that you can say it confidently in front of your classmates and teachers. Adjust your schedule. Senior high school may have a different schedule from junior high school. 4 . Go to bed early the night before and get up on time. This will help you stay energetic throughout the first day. Keep a positive attitude. Don't be too nervous about the first day. 5 . Everyone is in the same situation as you. Be open to new things and new people, and you will have a great first day. A．Get ready for school supplies B．Ask your parents for advice C．Most students are also new and nervous D．Familiarize yourself with the classrooms and facilities E．You will need to introduce yourself to many people F．Make sure you get used to the new schedule in advance G．Try to make as many friends as possible on the first day Passage 2 How to Stay Focused While Studying   Studying for long hours can be challenging, especially when you are easily distracted. Here are some tips to help you stay focused:   - Create a study schedule. Plan your study time in advance and stick to it. 1 - Find a quiet place. Avoid studying in noisy or busy areas. A quiet room or a library can help you concentrate better.   - Take short breaks. Studying for too long without a break can make you tired. 2 - Turn off distractions. Put your phone on silent mode and avoid checking social media while studying. 3 - Set clear goals. Know what you want to achieve in each study session. 4 - Stay healthy. Eat nutritious food, drink enough water, and get plenty of  sleep. 5 A．This will help you manage your time effectively. B．A healthy body supports a focused mind. C．Listening to music can also help you relax. D．For example, you could decide to finish reading a chapter or complete ten math problems. E．Try the Pomodoro Technique: study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. F．If possible, use apps that block distracting websites. G．Studying with friends can make learning more fun. Passage 3 In our modern world, distractions (分心之事) are everywhere, from smartphones to social media. Concentrating on your work requires purpose and strategy. 1 The following guide provides a framework to help you achieve just that. Create an ideal working environment. The place where you study matters a lot. 2 This means putting away your phones, turning off the TV and finding a quiet space. A brightly-lit room and a comfortable chair can work wonders. Your mind will begin to associate that space with what you are working on. 3 A proper study schedule helps your brain know when it’s time to focus. Try studying for 40 to 60 minutes, followed by a 5 to 10 minutes’ break. It is a lot easier to push yourself for a set period of time, if you know you have a break coming up. 4 This step-by-step approach makes big projects less stressful. Make studying more active. To keep yourself interested in what you’re learning and deepen your understanding, vary your methods. 5 One of the most active ways to learn information is to try to teach it to someone else, as this forces you to explain concepts clearly. If you feel your mind wandering, challenge yourself with the “5 More” rule — do only five more things or answer five more questions before quitting. The power to enhance your focus lies in your hands, and it’s time to follow the guide above and take action. A．Stick to your schedule strictly. B．Manage your study time wisely. C．However, it is possible to train your brain to focus better. D．Besides, break tasks into smaller steps and settle them one at a time. E．In addition, focus on the hardest task first when you are at your best. F．The first step is to remove possible distractions from your workspace. G．These include using flashcards, rewriting notes or watching educational videos. Passage 4 If you’ve ever pulled an all-nighter or had a bad night of sleep, you know it’s difficult to stay awake in class when you’re tired. Your teacher’s voice might begin to sound like a song that makes you sleepy. 1 . Sit in the front of the room. You’ll be more encouraged to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you. Besides, it’ll be easier to pay attention when you’re in front and center for the lecture. 2 . The sound of their voices might keep you awake. Listen actively to the lesson. Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake. 3 . To effectively listen to your teacher, you should try to keep eye contact, pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a break in the lecture. Drink some cold water. It can help keep you awake and aware. Come to class with a bottle of cold water. 4 . Also, having enough water in your body will keep you aware and help you avoid feeling confused and tired. 5 . Such activity tells your body that it’s not time for sleep just yet. Walk around during breaks, go outside if you’re allowed to, and get your blood moving to keep a clear mind. After you stop moving, you might feel tired again, but it can help for a little bit. A．It uses both your mind and body B．Walk around before or after class C．Take the stairs on your way to class D．You’ll also be near more active people in class E．If it’s allowed, bring a snack to break up the lecture F．To keep awake, you can get creative with your strategies G．You’ll get energy from the cold every time you take a drink Passage 5 Preparing properly for your exams is one of the best ways to give yourself the best chance of achieving good grades. 1 . This gives you enough time to cover all the material and understand the topics thoroughly. By planning your revision (复习) carefully and staying focused, you can make the most of your time and avoid anxiety. Now let’s look at the following revision tips. · 2 . Work out how much you have to do and the time you have to do it in, and then break it down into manageable parts. Aim to do a few hours of revision each day, and mix up your subjects so you do not get bored. ·Find the study environment that works best for you. 3 . In contrast, others may find that soft music or working with a friend helps them focus. If you study with a friend, make sure you stay on task and avoid getting distracted (分心) by conversations. ·Customise your notes to make them more personal. Use different colours for key points or write your notes on postcards. You can also create diagrams or mind maps to visually organize the information. 4 . ·Ensure that you fully understand every topic you’re studying. 5 . Instead, find another source of information, like online videos or additional textbooks, to explain it in a way that makes sense. If you’re still stuck, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher or a classmate for help. A．Make a realistic revision schedule B．There’s always an exciting topic to discuss C．Start by making a list of subjects you will teach D．Some students prefer to study alone in a quiet room E．It’s important to begin your preparation well in advance F．If you come across something confusing, don’t just memorise it G．They can make it easier to remember and understand the material Passage 6 Many students like to set goals at the beginning of a new term. They hope to improve their grades, or manage their time better. These goals sound good. However, after some time, many students find that nothing has really changed in their daily lives. 1 But turning goals into actions is not easy for many students. The reason is that their goals are far from specific. For example, a student may say, “I want to do better in English.” 2 A proper way to achieve goals is to make a clear plan that shows when, where, and how you will work toward your goal. For example, a student could say: “IF it is 4 p.m. after school, THEN I will review ten new English words.” Or, if a student wants to exercise, he or she could say: “IF it is Wednesday at 6 p.m., THEN I will run for 30 minutes.” Such clear plans show students what to do. 3 They may even give up if progress seems slow. 4 These steps should be practical (实际的) and easy to do every day. Instead of trying to get quick success, they should think about what they can do every day. Small actions are easy to begin and repeat. They help students see progress little by little. Over time, these actions can slowly build good habits and bring real change. Jack, an eighth grader, once had trouble finishing his homework on time. He often planned to “study harder,” but nothing changed. Later, he made one simple rule for himself: he would finish his homework before using his phone each evening. This small change did not take much effort. 5 After several weeks, Jack noticed that his homework was done earlier and his stress was reduced. Goals only matter when they lead to actions. Big plans may sound exciting, but small steps are what truly move students forward. A．Without them, students may feel lost. B．Yet it helped him form a better study habit. C．The biggest challenge is keeping to the plan. D．So turning goals into actions is very important. E．Goal-setting is important for achieving success. F．This sounds good, but it does not include action details. G．To turn goals into actions, students should take small steps. Passage 7 How to deal with anxiety before exams? Here are some dos and don’ts that might help you with your exams. Don’t arrive too early. 1 When you’re reviewing with friends you might get more anxious. Instead, try to get there five to ten minutes earlier and keep yourself from talking about the exam to anybody. Do sleep well. Lack of sleep is a huge factor in increasing anxiety. 2 Also, you will have a harder time concentrating. So, instead of studying deep into the night, you should work on getting a regular sleep pattern. Don’t review on the day of the exam. If you’ve worked hard, and you are ready, you don’t need this. Reviewing on the day of the exam might make you feel like you’ve missed out on some topics. 3 So you had better just be rested and relaxed for the exam and do the best that you can. Do eat well. Don’t forget to have a good meal. 4 Your brain needs sugar to function properly. You have to eat something before attending an exam. It will give you more energy and lower your anxiety level. Don’t overthink about the result of the exam. Before and during an exam, don’t overthink about the result. Stay focused on the present. You should not think about your grades, your chances of getting into college, and your family’s opinion, etc. 5 Try to separate yourself from anything else. A．You are completely blinded by anxiety. B．The only thing that matters is you and the exam. C．We tend to forget to eat when we’re too anxious, but eating is essential. D．When your nervous system is not rested, it is normal to feel more anxious. E．And to be honest, if that’s the case, it’s too late, and this will make you anxious.

Passage 8 Develop a Growth Mindset for High School Success Life as a senior high student is a mix of challenges and personal growth. With exams to study for, daily routines to keep, and dreams to chase, it’s easy to feel stressed or sad when things don’t go as planned. Just take it easy because these experiences fuel success. 1 . It’s about how you deal with difficulties, value small steps, and keep trying to become a better you. Stick to your plan to Beat Delay Staying determined and having a clear goal can help you beat delay. Whether you set a small daily study target or stick to reviewing notes after class, steady effort helps you make slow but sure progress.

Value the Journey, Not Just the Result Instead of only caring about the result, learn to value the process. High school has many joyful and challenging moments — like getting a good grade after working hard, or a disappointing exam. 3 . They shape your character and get you ready for the complexities of adult life.

When you get a poor grade or miss a deadline, don’t give up right away. 4 . Reflect on what goes wrong, adjust your strategies, and try again. Remember, even the most successful people have faced difficulties — their strength lies in getting back up. 5 It is the courage to learn from mistakes and the patience to grow steadily. This means embracing continuous learning, adapting to change, and insisting through difficulties. By staying consistent and open to new challenges, you will gain not only academic success but also the resilience and wisdom for a fulfilling life.

Instead, try to ask questions or share your thoughts in class. Taking the chance to ask for advice will make them notice your effort. Take care of yourself in both body and mind. 4 . Don’t forget to care about your mental health — turn to family or old friends when you feel down. Actively join in more activities. High school is not just about studying; it’s also a chance to grow. Join clubs and try new things until you find what fits you. 5 . Many schools offer free language courses, which is a great chance to learn something new and develop friendship.

The school I attended is an all-female boarding school, which is the only single-sex school in this city. 1 In single-sex schools, they have classes specially designed for their male or female students. I am curious to know what such a school looks like. Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind. Will I fit in? Will I make friends? 2 What if I make a bad impression on the other girls? What if I can’t concentrate in class as I did in junior high? After breakfast, I set off with Mom sitting beside me and Dad driving the car. We were warmly received by a group of seniors at the school gate. 3 Some of the seniors helped take my suitcase (手提箱) to the dorm (宿舍) , where I met my three roommates, Sally, Laura and Amanda. Only two of us have Chinese nationality while Sally is, Korean and Laura American, who impressed me most with her beautiful eyes and sweet smile. 4 Our school is beautiful with tall trees, bright flowers, nice-looking grassland and buildings of the southern Chinese style. A bulletin board (宣传栏) we passed by shows a lot of activity photos and says “With more than 50 student organizations on campus, there is a community for every interest”. I took a photo of the name list of the organizations so that I could study them carefully this weekend before I choose to register with some. 5 A．Will I have nice teachers? B．Are the subjects difficult or easy? C．Later I said goodbye to Mom and Dad there. D．Some people say single-sex schools are better than mixed-sex ones. E．All my friends are interested in the activities. F．I am looking forward to improving myself through group activities. G．Since we had no classes in the morning, the four of us decided to explore our school. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
