21、Dear Mike,
Help! I’m a 15-year-old high school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an important exam. To prepare for it, I'm studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really upset these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do?
Yours,
Alice
Dear Alice,
Many students around the world have the same problem as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress(压力). Good luck!
1. Make a study plan for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. Remember, studying one hour each day for six days better than six hours in one day. Also, don't study late at night.
2. Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go out and take a walk. Doing exercise is a great way to reduce stress.
3. Don’t eat or drink a lot of sugar(糖)or drink a lot of coffee. Eat foods high in vitamin(维生素)B(for example, eggs, milk, green vegetables and rice). These give you energy and help you think more clearly.
4. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your friends. This can reduce stress, too.
Yours,
Mike

22、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】
Our polite, little phrases
Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.
For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight”? Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”?
These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.
For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest?
According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.
However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.
She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.
【1】What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words?
A.To give a pause.
B.To make them sound more honest.
C.To make an apology.
D.To give thanks.
【2】What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”?
A.To soften bad or unpleasant news.
B.To soften good news.
C.To give bad or unpleasant news.
D.To make others feel uncomfortable.
【3】According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.
A.give a pause
B.use “verbal tee-ups”
C.say it directly
D.say sorry
【4】If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.
A.we are honest
B.we are polite
C.we are impolite
D.we have news to say
【5】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.
B.“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.
C.Verbal habits.
D.An honest pause.
23、 Many people love eating tofu. It is delicious, healthy and cheap. The word “tofu” is from Japanese, but the food comes from China.
Tofu has a history of over 2,100 years. It is said that Liu An, from Huainan City, Anhui Province, invented it. Though tofu appeared in the Han dynasty, it did not become popular in China until the Song dynasty.
At the very beginning, people served tofu to dead people. It is said that the spirits lost their teeth, so only tofu was soft enough for them to eat. And before there was the fridge in China, people only sold tofu during wintertime. During the warmer months, it would go bad soon.
Nowadays, tofu becomes everyday home cooking. In China, people like mixing tofu and chopped (切碎的) green onions up. In other parts of Asia, people use tofu as a kind of meat. In Malaysia, people usually eat douhua with white or black sugar water. In Japan, tofu is also popular.
【1】Why did people serve tofu to the dead people?
A.Because the spirits lost their hair. B.Because the spirits loved tofu.
C.Because tofu was soft. D.Because tofu was delicious.
