We’d all heard that the movie was a good movie, and we weren’t 14 . Today was special because Bobby showed up. Bobby was the coolest guy in our school and everybody liked him.

“Look! The community center is having an art contest,” said Grace. She was holding a flyer(传单).
Mrs. Simon read the flyer aloud. Everyone agreed they would like to enter the art contest. Mrs. Simon said, “Our classroom supply of art materials is low because it’s the end of the year. I’ll check with Mrs. Rice to see what she has.”
Mrs. Rice, the art teacher, didn’t have any art materials. “I won’t be getting a supply until next year,” she said. The whole class was upset. “How can we enter the art contest without art materials?” asked Grace.
“Maybe we can raise some money. We could have a bake sale,” suggested Hal. “I don’t think there’s time,” Mrs. Simon said.
“Let’s use the paper in the recycling bin,” Pablo said. Pablo did not often raise his hand. He rarely spoke up, so everyone was surprised when he offered an idea.
Hal said, “I’m curious about your idea. I want to learn why you would use old paper.”
“So we can save Earth’s resources,” replied Pablo. “When we use recycled paper, we use natural materials and save trees.”
“We can also use this old string and these wire hangers.” added Grace.
Now the class had to decide what to do with the materials. Pablo had another idea. “We can fold the paper into cranes. Then we can attach the cranes to a frame to make a mobile.”Mrs. Simon taught the children how to fold the paper into cranes. Then everyone helped attach the cranes to the mobile.
On the day of the art contest, the paper crane mobile hung in the large community center room. The huge space was crowded with art projects. From far off, the class spotted their project. The crane mobile swayed(摇摆) gently as people walked past. The paper cranes appeared to be softly flying.
The judges checked each art project. They looked closely at the crane mobile.

The Spotlight Effect
Have you ever felt as if the whole world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, that is because of “the spotlight effect”. Here’s some good news
— it’s likely that no one even noticed.
The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people
notice us more often than they really do. We experience the spotlight effect not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed. In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.
The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety(焦虑) and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to deal with. If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.
Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. The next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself. If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self- conscious(难为情的).
27. The spotlight effect can make us believe that .
A. everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety
B. people notice us more often than they really do
C. no one actually noticed us while we made a mistake
D. we can do something that is little different from others
28. What do you know about the spotlight effect from the passage?
A. It makes everyone watch.
B. It makes people feel more confident.
C. It doesn’t happen when we perform well.
D. It makes people observe very little about others.
29. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The reasons why we need to reduce our anxiety.
B. The importance of learning about the spotlight effect.
C. The suggestions on how to learn about the spotlight effect.
D. The ways to reduce our anxiety caused by the spotlight effect.

Have you ever played brain games? Do you know there is even a National Puzzle Day celebrated every year on January 29 in the United States? In addition to being entertaining and fun, puzzles have health and social benefits, especially in early childhood. Studies have shown that doing puzzles can help enhance(增强) brain activity in adults. It also improves creativity, concentration and memory.
You’ve probably seen ads for apps promising to make you smarter in just a few minutes a day. Hundreds of so-called “brain training” programs can be bought for downloading. These simple games are designed to challenge mental abilities, with the final goal of improving the performance of everyday tasks. But can these simple games really help you improve the way your brain functions?
Two large groups, scientists group and mental health practitioners(从业者) group, published some
statements on the effectiveness of these kinds of brain games. Both groups included people with years of research experience in cognition( 认 知 ), learning, skill acquisition, etc. Both groups carefully considered the same evidence available(可得的) at the time. Yet, they gave exactly opposite results.
One concluded that “there is little evidence that playing puzzle games improves cognitive abilities, or that it enables one to better deal with a complex field of everyday life.” The other argued that “a growing evidence shows that certain cognitive training can greatly improve cognitive function, including ways related to everyday life.”
In my opinion, although the brain training program seems an attracting shortcut, improving or maintaining cognition is not going to be quick and easy. Instead, it may require a lifetime — or at least an extended period — of cognitive challenge and learning.
If you’re worried about your cognition, what should you do? If you do play brain games, and you enjoy them, please continue to play. But don’t expect too much. If you’re playing only to gain cognitive
benefits, consider other activities instead, which might be cognitively exciting, or at least more satisfying and rewarding.
30. How did the two groups get their results?
A. By collecting data from research.
B. By considering available evidence.
C. By recording cognitive changes.
D. By comparing the differences.
31. The word “extended” in Paragraph 5 probably means “ ”.
A. early B. hard C. long D. same
32. What does the writer think of the effect of puzzle games on cognition?
A. It is not so valuable. B. It is very practical.
C. It is hardly acceptable. D. It is completely useless.
33. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Can Brain Games be Improved?
B. Can Brain Games Make a Difference?
C. Can Cognitive Function be Trained?
D. Can Cognitive Function be Studied?

本部分共6题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达(每题2分，共10分)
Exams play an important role in education and sometimes it is also the source of stress for many students. So it is important for students to learn how to deal with stress caused by the exam . Here are some useful ways.
Before the exam
l Study in conditions similar to your test room.
There is a phenomenon in psychology(心理学现象) called context-dependent memory. It refers to the idea that we are best able to remember things in environments similar to when the information was encoded( 解码). If you are in a quiet room during your exam, try to simulate( 模拟) those conditions while you are preparing for it.
l Manage your time wisely.
Do not just cram(临时死记硬背) for an exam at the last minute, because this will surely lead to exam stress. Break up your study time into chunks over days, or weeks even. If possible, try to study at around the same time of day as you will be taking the test, because in this way you will be similarly tired or awake when you study and when you take your test. You will get used to how you feel when dealing with your course material on your test day.
l Take frequent breaks.
According to psychology studies, the average human brain can only focus on one task effectively for about 45 minutes. In addition, research in neuroscience( 神经科学) suggests that focusing on the same thing for too long weakens the brain’s ability to accurately process it.
During the exam
l Eat a proper exam day breakfast.
Without a proper breakfast your energy levels will quickly crash and may lead to stress and anxiety. Be sure to have a healthy, energy-packed breakfast on exam day. Try eating foods that provide long lasting energy, such as eggs or oats. Avoid foods that are high in sugar, which will give temporary energy but may cause you sleepy during the exam.
l Read instructions carefully.
Before answering any exam questions, figure out exactly what is expected of you. Skim the test to see its content and give yourself a rough(粗略的) idea of how long each question will take to complete. Ambiguity(不明确) can cause stress, so, by knowing how long the test is, you will reduce your stress.
l Avoid rushing.
Take your time going through the exam. If you get stuck in a question for a long time, instead of getting stressed about it, keep in mind that it is just one question on the exam. If possible, skip(跳过) that question and return to it at the end if you have time. Keep an eye on the clock and give yourself five to ten minutes to go over your answers to check for any mistakes or to guess on any questions that you initially skipped.
34. Why does the writer advise us to study at around the same time of day as we will be taking the test?
35. How long can human brain focus on one task effectively?
36. What kind of food should you have for breakfast on the exam day from the passage?
37. What should you do if you get stuck in a question for a long time from the passage?
38. What does the passage mainly talk about?
