21、Exams can be very stressful and it’s not surprising that people who feel anxious about them tend to perform worse compared to those who don’t experience such anxiety. What is surprising, according to the research published in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Institute and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that leads to the problem; it is the pressure of revision.
Dr. Theobald launched a study which involved 309 German medical students who used a digital-learning platform to prepare for their final state exam. To assess their levels of anxiety, the students were asked to rate them on a five-point scale for 40 days leading up to the exam, as well as on the day of the exam and the mock exam (模拟考) taken 40 days prior.
What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities. High levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place actually hampered students, leaving them with less material to recall during the exam itself.
And this is a positive discovery, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results. Dr. Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and meanwhile know that passing the exam is extremely important. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students to consider as they revise. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can attach less importance to the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation. It really isn’t. Really…
【1】What is a cause of poor exam performance according to the research?
A.Pressure from peers.
B.Inexperience in tests.
C.Atmosphere in exam halls.
D.Tension during revision.
【2】How did Dr. Theobald conduct the research?
A.By grading participants’ levels of knowledge.
B.By comparing participants’ approaches to revision.
C.By analyzing participants’ anxiety levels and exam performance.
D.By collecting participants’ previous data from a learning platform.
【3】What does the underlined word “hampered” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Restricted.
B.Assisted.
C.Misled.
D.Motivated.
【4】What strategy does Dr. Theobald recommend to reduce test anxiety?
A.Setting ambitious goals.
B.Boosting self-confidence.
C.Ignoring the significance of a test.
D.Lowering the expectations of success.
22、A wearable interactive display made of a flexible, breathable electronic fabric can display simple maps and text messages, potentially for use in future smart clothing, a research group reports in their latest paper.
Previous research has developed flexible thin-film displays that are rollable, foldable and stretchable. However, such electronics have not yet been successfully integrated into clothing. This is because it has proven challenging to design fabric displays that are both durable over time and easy to assemble over a large area.
Now, Chinese scientists have woven bands of a new fabric display roughly 20 feet long by 10 inches wide. To make the new fabric, polymer scientists Peining Chen and Huisheng Peng at Fudan University in Shanghai and their colleagues weave electrically transparent fibers into a flexible, breathable fabric. The fabric is about as bright as the average flat-screen TV. The researchers noted their prototype (雏形) was also significantly more durable than conventional flexible thin-film displays, making it more suitable for practical use. One likely application for this is wearable displays. The researchers integrated a touch-sensitive 16-button fabric keyboard, solar-energy-harvesting threads and battery fibers into their fabric to add interactivity and a power supply. They added electronics to wirelessly link it to a smartphone via a Bluetooth connection so users could send and receive messages on their sleeves, as well as see their real-time locations on a map.
In the future, smart clothing might help display messages from people with voice, speech and language problems. And it might even work in concert with devices that can decode (译解) complex brain waves to figure out what these people would like to say but cannot. However, “putting displays with 36 volts (伏特) directly on the body may potentially be a concern,” cautioned Bao, chemical engineer at Stanford University in California.
【1】What does the underlined word “assemble” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Fit together.
B.Take in.
C.Build up.
D.Put out.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The making of a fabric display and its potential use.
B.The novel application of Bluetooth to wearable displays.
C.The introduction of a unique fabric and its future.
D.The contrast between conventional displays and wearable ones.
【3】What can we infer about smart clothing from the last paragraph?
A.Such clothing poses no danger to wearers.
B.Such clothing can get wearers’ ideas across.
C.It can receive and send complex brain waves.
D.It enables people with voice problems to speak.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Say No to Conventional Flexible Thin-film Displays
B.Wearable Electronic Displays Is to Appear on Clothing
C.Say Yes to Wearable Electronic Displays on Clothing
D.Wearable Electronic Displays May Get Your Ideas across

24、 When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few.

High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Seton Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
