• 2．Some students get so nervous before a test.They do poorly even if they know the material.Sian Beilock，a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois，has studied these highly anxious test-takers.The students start worrying about the results.And when they worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources（資源） .
     Professor Beilock and another researcher，Gerardo Ramirez，have developed a possible solution.Just before an exam，highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
     The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students.They gave them two short maths tests.After the first one，they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
     Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test.But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.Next，the researchers used younger students in a biology class.They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+，compared to a B-for those who did not.
     "What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious，who'd done our writing intervention（干預），all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance.They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."
     But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam？Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
  
  （1）What may the students start worrying about before an exam？

  
  A．Whether they can pass the exams.
  B．What other students do during the test.
  C．Whether they have remembered the materials.
  D．What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
  （2）What is the solution developed by researchers？

  
  A．Asking the students to ignore the test.
  B．Asking the students to focus on the test.
  C．Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
  D．Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
  （3）According to Professor Beilock，those who thought about things unrelated to the test

  .
  A．became less nervous before the test
  B．were better at controlling their feelings
  C．did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
  D．did better than those who wrote about their feelings
  （4）What can be learned from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit.
  B．We can only write about our worries right before an exam.
  C．The best place to write about our worries is in the test room.
  D．It doesn't matter where we write about our worries before an exam.

• 3．These days，short videos have got millions of views online.Many people create short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou.You can even add music and special effects to your videos.The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long.They show people doing activities like cooking，exercising and singing.
     Teenagers especially enjoy these videos.More than 50 percent of students in Grade 10 and Grade 11 said they enjoyed watching these short videos.About 47 percent have posted their own videos，according to a recent report.
     The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn't usually see.Many teenagers like to share the funny things they do with others as well.For example，a 12-year-old user named Xiao Qianyu has posted videos showing her learning jazz dance.This has won her many fans.
     However，the videos can also cause trouble.Some students spend too much time watching them and not enough time studying.Some videos have vulgar content that is not good for teenagers.
     To deal with this problem，Douyin added a new function（功能）in April，2018.It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day.In the same month，the government asked companies to control these apps well and get rid of bad videos.
  
  （1）What can people add to their short videos with these apps？

  
  A．Music and special effects.
  B．Douyin and Kuaishou.
  C．Jazz dance.
  D．Locking the app.
  （2）What will happen if kids spend too much time watching short videos？

  
  A．The app will be locked for over two hours.
  B．They will not spend enough time studying.
  C．Some vulgar videos will be shown to them.
  D．They will win a lot of fans for themselves.
  （3）What does the underlined word "vulgar" mean？

  
  A．kind.
  B．funny.
  C．wonderful.
  D．harmful.
  （4）It can be inferred from the passage that

  .
  A．the apps have been monitored（監(jiān)管）much more strictly.

  C．teenagers can add all kinds of special effects to their videos.

• 4．Did you ever have to say "no" to somebody？Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you？New research suggests that ，at least socially，a rejection（拒絕） should not include an apology.In other words，saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better.In fact，it might make the rejected person feel worse.That is surprising.Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.
     Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College.For her research，she asked over 1，000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection.In one example，the researchers asked people for their reaction（反應） after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday.And Taylor was told "no".But in some cases，the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology.In other cases，the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down，just as Taylor was.Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
     Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay---even when they felt like it was not only okay.Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment，hurt or anger more easily.Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
     Her research deals only with social communication.A business situation might be very different."If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job."
  
  （1）Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection？

  
  A．Because they think it is more polite.
  B．Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.
  C．Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.
  D．Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.
  （2）In Gili Freedman's research，over 1，000 people

  .
  A．rejected others without an apology
  B．offered an apology when rejecting others
  C．would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
  D．were asked to answer the question in different situations
  （3）What role does an apology play in rejection？

  
  A．It makes the rejection more acceptable.
  B．It makes a good impression on the listener.
  C．It makes the communication more pleasant.
  D．It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.
  （4）What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．The effect of an apology during a rejection.
  B．Gili Freedman's research on business situations.
  C．A rejection with an apology in a business situation.
  D．The difference between a social situation and a business one.
