27、Anxiety is a normal feeling characterized by worry or fear. For example, if you have a big test, or when you don’t know how an event will turn out, you are likely to be anxious. 【1】 Here are tips to reduce your symptoms（症状）.

*Get the right amount of sleep.

Getting the proper amount of sleep at night is important. Your mind and body can reset, which helps you make better decisions when you wake up. This can also help adjust your moods and allow you to be able to get through your daily tasks.【2】 After doing this for a while, your body may start to get tired at the same time each day, which could mean you will have an easier time going to sleep each night.

*【3】

Breathing deeply can often help regulate anxious physical symptoms. When you breathe in deeply, not only does oxygen enter your body, but you also have to take a minute to change what you are doing. Sometimes when you take yourself out of a stressful situation for a while, you can gain a completely new understanding of what’s going on. Try to stop and take deep breaths whenever you start to feel anxious.

*Pay attention to triggers（诱因）.

【4】In some cases, these things may be obvious, but at other times, you may have trouble identifying them. You can start writing down what happens to you in a journal so that you can rule out certain events and habits.

Anxiety is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to prevent you from living the life you want. There are many ways to change your life and habits.【5】

A．Learn how to breathe.

B．Living with anxiety isn’t easy.

C．Examine your values and live by them.

D．Stress can cause you to have trouble falling asleep.

E．You should start to remove the things that trouble you.

F．Be sure to take care of yourself and reduce the stress in your life.

G．Try to go to sleep at the same time each night, even on the weekends.

28、A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.

Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern “A-B-B”. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.

Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. “Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”

Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies—regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.

【1】What makes connections in a baby’s brain?

A．Having a higher IQ.

B．Experiencing new information.

C．The baby’s early age.

D．The connection with other babies.

【2】What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?

A．Babies can identify different sound patterns.

B．Word order is relevant to meaning.

C．Babies can well understand different words.

D．A certain brain region processes language.

【3】What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Words have different sounds.

B．Different orders have different meanings.

C．Different languages have different grammar.

D．Grammar is important in learning languages.

29、Wu Dajing created a world record of winning the short-track speed skating men’s 500 meters for China’s first gold medal of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. He is the first Chinese man who has won a short-track gold medal in the Winter Olympic Games.

In 2004, at the age of ten, Dajing entered the Jiamusi short-track speed skating amateur (业余的) team. Before 4 o'clock, he got up with his ice knives and rode his bike to face the cold wind and the outdoor ice rink (溜冰场) which was 30 degrees below zero.

After coming to the national team, Dajing quickly realized the difference of racing level between top players and him. He felt so upset, so when training again, he took the computer and asked someone to help him record some videos. After the training, he watched the videos again and again, made a summary, and then compared them with the winners’ videos in the competitions to study the details and skills.

So in the second part of the 2012 season, Dajing got the chance to play for the national team for the first time. Dajing won a silver medal in the 500m in the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, and since then, he has won 10 men’s 500m races in the World Championships and the World Cup.

Three years from now, the Beijing-zhangjiakou Winter Olympics will be the next stage for Dajing. “Three years is neither short nor long. I just need to make several small goals and then finish them step by step.” he said. Life is the same, on the way to success, once you’ve made up your mind, just keep doing and never give up.

【1】When did Wu Dajing win the gold medal in the Winter Olympic Games?

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was our first evening dog-sitting while our daughter was on holiday in Costa Rica. Louie, her dog, searched the house for his “mommy”. Then, that disappointed but determined dog had a plan.

While my husband Paul and I were watching TV, we heard loud sounds on the stairs. Something heavy was being dragged (拖) down the stairs. I turned around and found this six-month-old dog was dragging his large carrier down the stairs.

Louie looked at us, moved his tail and ran back up the stairs. We were curious about what he was doing.

We watched in amazement as Louie dragged his personal things, one by one, down the stairs: his blanket, bowl, ball and sweater. This project took most of the evening, and Louie never got tired.

What happened next made us realize that not only did this dog have a purpose but he obviously put thought and reasoning into each move. He put his things in the carrier. This was extremely difficult as the carrier had a lip (口) that was taller than him.

After Louie finished packing his things, he tried to jump inside. Once inside, he got the zipper (拉链) between his teeth and, with all the strength he had, he pulled up the zipper. I admired his patience. Then he lay down and went to sleep.

The message was very clear. He wanted to see his “mommy”. He had seen her pack her suitcase and go away. He must do the same so he could find her. He stayed in the carrier all night, and when I opened it the next morning, he was very excited. Believing he had arrived, he jumped up—but his “mommy” was not there. Then, I started making notes about Louie’s behaviour.

Louie surprised us with new activities every day. He liked going for a car ride with my husband. The possibility of stopping at McDonald’s for chicken was his favorite.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式作答。

One day, my husband didn’t stop at McDonald’s and left Louie in the car with the window open.
