• 2．Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city？In order to answer this question.jye.ai must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.
     Not all historical buildings are attractive，However，there may be other reasons—for example，economic reasons why they should be preserved.So，let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed？
     In my view，new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed，there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours，where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate （影響） its surroundings too much，it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
     It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt （破壞） the area they are in，but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative （保守的） and do not like change.
     Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings，I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before，we would all still be living in caves.Thus，I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different，even though that might be the more risky choice.
  
  （1）What can we learn about historical buildings from paragraph I？

  
  A．All of them are not attractive.
  B．Most of them are hard to preserve.
  C．People want to preserve the historic feel.
  D．They are more pleasing than modern ones.
  （2）What is the author's attitude to coexistence of old buildings and new ones？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Unclear.
  C．Conservative
  D．Favourable.
  （3）What does the phrase "move things forward in the last paragraph refer to？

  
  A．Destroy old buildings
  B．Put things in a different place
  C．Choose new architectural styles.
  D．Respect people's feelings 'for historical buildings.
  （4）What is the main purpose of the text？

  
  A．To instruct.
  B．To argue.
  C．To warn.
  D．To educate.

• 3．    Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people.Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures.Whatever your reason may be，the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks.You will be able to speak fluently（流利地） and understand the language clearly as well.
       Tell Me More
       This software is widely used in U.S.schools，and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world.It offers instructions for learning Arabic，Chinese，Dutch，English，F(xiàn)rench，German，Italian，Japanese and Spanish.However，the software does not come cheap as it costs around ＄250.
       Talk Now!

       Kid Speak
       This is a foreign language translation software that you can make use of，and it will cost you around ＄30.So，it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now!This software is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos.

• 4．Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon？Many people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat.However，the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern.They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
     In many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time，try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
  
  （1）Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon？

  
  A．Because you eat too much for lunch.
  B．Because it's hot in summer.
  C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
  D．Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.
  （2）What can we learn about "naps" according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
  B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.
  C．If you take naps every day，you'll never suffer from heart disease.
  D．Taking naps regularly is good to people's health.
  （3）If you get up at 6：30 am，what is the best time for you to take a nap？

  
  A．About 12：30 pm.
  B．About 1：30 pm.
  C．About 2：30 pm

• 5．Exam Anxiety Has this ever happened to you？You've been studying hard for your midterm，but when you walk into your exam，your mind goes blank，your heart races fast，you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. （1）

  
     Everyone feels anxious during exams.Usually，it results from a fear of failure，lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past.This is normal and often helps you work harder，think faster and generally improve your performance.（2）

  You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you.This can cause you to feel that your mind has "gone blank" on information you know you have revised.
     （3）

  Some choose to ignore the problem，while others don't review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety.It can also be really easy to think that if you don't try and then you fail，you won't feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
     So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test？（4）

  Yes，this seems obvious，but it's worth repeating.If you feel confident that you've prepared thoroughly，you'll feel more confident walking into the test.The second tip is simple：just start.The blank page can maximize your anxiety.（5）

  You can always go back and change things later if needed，but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling.Besides，allocating（分配）your time is equally important.Look through the whole test before getting started.Mentally allocate how much time you'll spend on each section.If there's time to recheck，even better.
  
  A.After you get the paper，dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.
  B.However，if you are overly anxious about the result，you may be unable to focus on your work.
  C.Realizing time is almost up and that there's still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
  D.Therefore，people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
  E.If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar，you're not alone!
  F.People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
  G.The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
