21、Advice on how to help you beat (战胜) test stress（压力）
Studying for your tests at school can sometimes make you feel a bit stressed or worried, so we’ve put together some top advice to help you feel calmer and more confident.
Don’t compare yourself to your friends. Everyone learns things differently and some people find things easier than others. Choose a revision (复习) plan that works best for you. If your friends are different, then that’s fine. 【1】
If you are feeling stressed, talk to someone. It could be a friend, a teacher or your family. Don’t feel like you’re letting people down by admitting you are feeling stressed.【2】They will hopefully help you to feel better.
Try to take regular breaks during your revision. Taking your mind off things will help give your brain time to deal with all the information you are learning.【3】You could go for a walk or even just close your eyes and relax for a few minutes.
【4】It’s important to try to eat well and get lots of sleep during the lead-up to a test. If you don’t give your mind a rest or give your body the right energy, it might not work as well as it could.
Doing exercise really helps! Whether you are playing football, going for a walk or a run, dancing, or even just riding your bike, exercise can really help to take your mind off things. 【5】
A．Get plenty of sleep.
B．Look after your body.
C．You could even bring a friend to talk about the exam.

22、Wall-E, a popular robot from a Pixar film, has been brought to life by scientists in the form of a seed-planting robot. The A’ seedbot could wander around a desert to look for fertile(肥沃) lands. After finding one, it would send a report to researchers about its discovery. The autonomous robot could then change a once-abandoned area into a workable landscape ideal for farming.
Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation graduate Mazyar Etehadi created this robot farmer. It was a part of his graduation project with the Global Grad Show. This event presents solutions that tackle modern issues connected to the environment and society.
Etehadi said that he wished to see more plants and more greenery out there. The fresh graduate added that continuous desertification led him to develop a seed-planting robot. Later, he arrived at an innovative solution that would require less human participation.
According to a recent report, the farmer robot carries solar panels that can be charged even at night or day. In addition, the length of A’ seedbot is estimated to be 20cm long, and it could move within a 5km radius(半径). Etihadi said that it has 3D-printed legs that can travel in sandy areas to seek appropriate moisture(水分) levels. This would be a hint(迹象) for the robot to plant a seed.
Moreover, a distance sensor helps the machine relay reports to its user. The receiver on the other side can use data sent for further research. Additionally, it has a built-in collision(碰撞) avoidance system to help the robot for easy soil detection. “I think it was an easy solution to come up with, but no one had actually thought of it,” Etehadi said. He added that farmers, citizens, farming industries, and the government will benefit from the seed-planting robots.
Regarding these environment-friendly robots, Tadeu Caravieri of Global Grad Show said such creations would continue to appear in future programs. He believes that these robots will have a “big impact”. As another report says, because of those innovative robot designs, the year of AI has clearly arrived in today’s world.
【1】Why does the author mention robot Wall-E in paragraph 1?
A．To highlight the importance of looking for environment protection.
B．To arouse the interest of the readers.
C．To prove the possibility of finding all fertile lands.
D．To show the popularity of the film.
【2】What does the underlined word “tackle” mean in paragraph 2?
A．handle.
B．prevent.
C．strengthen.
D．protect.
【3】What do we know about the A’ seedbot?
A．It is developed by farmers.
B．It solves all the problems existing before.
C．It relies on frequent human participation.
D．It is partly 3D-printed.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage about the future of the A’ seedbot?
A．Promising.
B．Concerning.
C．Unclear.
D．Costly.

Less than 85km – but somehow a whole world away – from Singapore’s shining skyline lies Nikoi Island. Surrounded by white sandy shorelines and vivid coral reefs, Nikoi’s centre is hidden in rainforest, resulting in amazing biodiversity seen in its native plants, animal and bird life. Marrying traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with contemporary design, Nikoi boasts just 15 stilted(建于支柱上的) beach houses, all with breathtaking sea views, guaranteeing privacy and total escape from the daily grind.
Amanpulo, Philippines
The only property on Pamalican Island, the luxurious Amanpulo resort offers extremely impressive accommodation, with only access to over five kilometres of clean coral sand beach. Designed to resemble local Bahay Kubo homes, Amanpulo’s beachside, treetop and hillside villas all feature comfortable decks with hammocks(吊床) from which to enjoy the spectacular views of the greenish-blue sea below. Fill your schedule with Amanpulo’s signature aquatic adventures (including diving, windsurfing and sailing), recharge in the award-winning spa or feast upon locally caught seafood – the choice is yours.
Song Saa, Cambodia
Song Saa’s incredible ocean views, and breathtaking sunsets are a very typical example of pure paradise.
