Since I discovered it two years ago，Ive used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. Ive found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity. I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in xx and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3，so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me，and，to a certain extent，distracted me from the game，allowing my subconscious(潜意识的)talent to e through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine，moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions. Music can also have a great effect on mood. If Im in a bad mood at work，Ill listen to some of Bob Marleys and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what Im doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer，I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background，I would have hated life. Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error youll finally discover your best choice. Im always looking for new concentration aids，so Id love to know what type of music works best for me. 21. We can infer that the passage was written in _. A. xx B. xx C. xx D. xx22. The author first discovered the effects of music _. A. from his parents B. by chanceC. at work D. when he was a child23. Which of the following statements is NOT an effect of music for the author?A.

The text is most probably taken from _.A. newspaper B. a magazine C. a website D. a geography book C Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building. She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts (工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.” So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.” The hours shes chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship. Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.” The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since Ive got to be here, I try to enjoy myselfand I usually do, together with the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.” Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doing, but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”29. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because _ . A. she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB. she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC. she needed the right time to look after her childrenD. she felt tired of taking care of patients30. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _. A. they never clean their offices B. they look down upon cleanersC. they never do their work carefully D. they always make a mess in their offices31. When at work, Margaret feels _ . A. light-hearted because of her fellow workers B. happy because the building is fully litC. tired because of the heavy workload D. bored because time passes slowly32. The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margarets parents would _ . A. help care for her children B. regret what they had said C. show sympathy for her D. feel disappointed with her DHow to stick to your own opinion in socializing? When it es to your life, the opinion of others should matter very little. I am not talking about your friends and family, but others who have no importance in your reality like your social peers and others like them. They are unimportant to your life, and yet you secretly struggle for approval at the cost of your own. Remember, your opinion is king. Start by being your true self. Allowing your true self to appear and connect with people on a more real level helps them in turn do the same with you. There is openness and honesty in the interaction. At the end of the day this is what we all want the joy of true and meaningful connections . Next, evaluate your decisions. Are they representing who you are or are they the result of other peoples opinion? Practice your ability not to be affected by pressure and learn to take nothing personally. When we are bothered by outer criticisms, it influences and changes our behavior. Dont look to others for guidance on how to behave. Dont look for approval. If you dont need approval, you wont have a reason to try to impress people or be impressed by them. And finally, be real in EVERY situation. As you express your real self, others will think highly of you and the few who dont dont matter anyway. Be willing to be judged, and then not take it to heart. If all this is a bit scary, then start small. Rather than not caring at all what others think, start by just caring a little less. No one outside your inner circle should get a vote or pass judgment or have influence on how you live your life .33. The text is especially helpful for those who want to _ . A. enlarge friend circle B. speak highly of others C. remain unaffected by others opinionsD. develop the ability to make wise decisions34. Being real can help people _ . A. get honest relationsB. gain courage C. take nothing too personalD. avoid criticisms35. What are people advised to do in order to stick to their opinions in socializing ? A. Care about no ones opinion. B. Look for guidance on behaviors. C. Impress people by making changes. D. Start by taking others judgment less seriously .第二节 七选五(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。36_Examinations are almost always stressful. Students rarely know exactly what to expect on the test，and those who suffer from exam fear or exam anxiety can see their grades suffer as a result of this stress. For some students，exam fear causes them to “seize up” and forget what they have studied.37._ Good study habits and learning how to relax can help students overe exam fear.38_ According to Penn State University and Kids Health，proper study habits and preparation are the keys to cutting out exam fear. Avoid lastminute “cramming” for exams and actively listen while in class.Focus on positive thoughts，relax the night before your test and reward yourself after the test is over.

It was a very long drive and I stopped at quite a few 41 along the way.

I left feeling a little 55 and inspired, with a smile of my own. Since then I have 56 passed some of these messages on to others，hoping they will 57 someone else as well.
