25、   Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what pressure is. Pressure is what you feel when you are worried about something. 

This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid－all of which can give you a stomachache or headache.

However, there are different kinds of pressure. Some kinds of pressure are good and others are bad. Good pressure might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of pressure can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the pressure pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad pressure can happen if the pressure lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of pressure isn’t going to help you. And it can really make you sick. 

The best way to fight pressure is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Relaxation, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably fight pressure.

根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。

【1】In the writer’s opinion, pressure is what you feel when you are excited about something.

【2】All kinds of pressure are bad for our health.

【3】When good pressure happens, it can help you to get things better done.

【4】You can really feel sick if the pressure lasts long.

【5】If you want to fight pressure, you’d better have a balanced life.

The Good Son

Once there was a jeweller, who was known as a good man. People always bought jewelries from him.

One day, a rich man and his wife came to buy some diamonds (钻石) which would be put on a special dress for their mother. She would wear it for her eightieth-birthday party.

The couple told the jeweller what they wanted, and offered him an honest price. He replied that he could not let them see the jewels at that moment, and asked them to come back later. However, they wanted the diamonds without delay (耽搁). They also thought that the jeweller might be trying to get more money for the diamonds. So they offered him double, then three times, what the diamonds were worth. But he still refused to give them the diamonds. They went away, very angry.

Some hours after, the jeweller went to them and gave them the diamonds. They offered him the last price for the diamonds, which was three times what the diamonds were worth. But the jeweller said, “I will only accept the first price that you offered this morning.”

“Why, then, did you not sell us the diamonds right away?” they asked in surprise. He replied, “My father had the key to the box where the diamonds were kept. He was asleep, and I did not want to wake him. He is old and every hour of sleep does him good. For all the gold in the world, I would not disrespect my father or cause him discomfort.” The couple were deeply moved by the man’s words, so the husband said to him,

“You are so kind! Thanks for the lesson you taught us — honour your father and your mother. One day your own children will give you the same respect and love that you have shown.”

【1】The rich couple came to the jeweller to .

【2】When the jeweller refused to give the diamonds, .

C．sold the best diamonds to them

D．showed great respect to them

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

Everyone knows animals are our friends. So we should be friendly to them. But some people kill the rare animals, such as pandas, golden monkeys and so on in order to get money. It will cause these animals to disappear soon.

Perhaps the most famous rare animal is panda. Twenty years ago it was nearly extinct (灭绝的). Now, its n【1】 are growing again. It is even a symbol for wildlife conservation (保存，保护). But many other species have not been as l【2】 as the panda. Some are already extinct. Today, many more are in serious danger. This is because man hurts them and d【3】 their habitat. Is it too late to save wildlife?

A serious habitat problem arises (出现) because of pollution or o【4】 new lands. Habitats take many years to grow again. When the wild animals lose their homes, the natural balance is also changed. If one animal, bird, or insect d【5】, all the others suffer, too.

This is what is happening in the forests of South America. Africa and Asia. Habitats and animals are disappearing in Europe, too. Since 1947 in Britain, for example, 50% of the woods, low wet land, and 95% of meadows have disappeared. And what has taken the place of these green, natural places? Houses, farms, cities, streets, roads, and factories. Because of this (and pollution too) several British species are dying.

Then, what is the s【6】 ? There is only one way to save wild animals and wild habitats – conservation. This means man should protect animals in danger by establishing law, opening more national parks, building fewer new roads, planting more forests, and cutting pollution. If not, many wild animals will soon have just one habitat—the zoo!/

If everyone is involved in the p【7】 of wild life, we’re sure man will be a good friend of animals rather than their enemy.

Hello, everyone, welcome to our Chitchat. In last week's Chitchat, we asked our readers if they could re-select their major--the main subject of study in college, which one they would pick. Here are some of their ideas.

＠Jim Zhang

If I got do-over I would choose _____ . I’m really fond of teaching kids. Honestly, I had no idea  about what I wanted to do or what I really liked even after graduation.

If I got do-over, I will ______.

＠Agatha

I can get do-over, I would choose my original major. For me, majoring in mathematics was_____ . Proving mathematical theories in words was crazy.

＠tina

____ , I don' t regret my choice. As an English teacher, sometimes it's hard to improve students' English level. But when I see great progress that students have made, I feel really content.
