In celebration of this new beginning, I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing. ‎ ‎ Like many young people my age, 1 was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public. But for my first day as a student, I had made an effort to 1ook what my mother called ‘respectable(体面的)’.‎ There were fifteen of us. sitting in the theatre hall，while the head of the drama(戏剧) department, Mr. Wilson, gave us a warm welcoming speech. To my horror(恐惧)，he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course. I had no idea what I would say. The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing, I was painfully shy.‎ ‎ My worry grew as it came closer to my turn. One by one，the new students excitedly ‎ explained their reasons. Then it was the turn of a girl who I hadn’t really noticed until that moment because I was too busy thinking about what 1 would say. ‘My name’s Tracy and I’m from Blackburn.’ She said, and then added no further information.‎ ‎ Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure(压力) I relaxed, knowing that you could get away with saying so little about yourself. It gave me confidence. ‎ After Mr. Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch，I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy. She looked very unfriendly. Taking a deep breath, I introduced myself. To my surprise, she looked up at me and gave me a very bright，sweet smile.

Avoid this by taking a look at this list, and make sure that you don’t give the wrong gift. If you are coming to China with us, our tour guides will be more than happy to help you choose a suitable gift!‎ ‎ 1. Sharp Objects — Cut Off Relationship ‎ Giving somebody a sharp object indicates that you want to cut off your relationship with them. A common Chinese saying goes "one slash and it’s in two parts" to mean the end of a relationship between people.‎ ‎ 2. Shoes — Evil ‎ Shoes are a bad idea for a present for Chinese New Year because the word for ‘shoes’(xié) sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or ‘evil’ (xié). On top of that, shoes are something that you step on, and are thus not good gifts. Avoid shoes at all costs.‎ ‎ 3. Pears — Parting ‎ Giving fruit is a good thing, but pears are taboo. This is because the Chinese word for ‘pears’ (lí) sounds the same as the word for leaving or ‘parting’ (lí).‎ ‎ 4. Handkerchiefs — A Symbol of Saying Goodbye Forever ‎ People generally give handkerchiefs at the end of a funeral, and are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this implies that you are saying goodbye forever, and severing all ties.‎ ‎ 5. Black or White Objects — Often Used in Funerals ‎ Black and White are important colors in funerals, so avoid presents that are largely black or largely white, or wrapping paper or envelopes in these colors. Red, however, is believed to be a festive and fortunate color, so red is always a great option for envelopes, or gifts.‎ ‎28. Why is it easy to give the wrong gift for the Chinese Spring Festival?‎ A. You have no idea about people’s taste B. There can be cultural differences C. Expensive gifts are more welcomed D. People are particular about presents ‎29. What can be inferred about the second and third taboos?‎ A. It’s bad for people to step on shoes during the Chinese New Year B. All the fruits can be sent as gifts C. Some taboos are set because of the words’ pronunciation ‎ D. Shoes and pears cannot be sent at any situations ‎30. What does the underlined word “festive” in paragraph 6 mean?‎ A. Useful B. Satisfied C. Unlucky D. Joyous ‎31. Where does this passage probably come from?‎ A. A tourist map B. An entertainment website C. A cultural magazine D. A history book D A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.‎ Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.‎ The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.‎ Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.‎ Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.‎ While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.‎ Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.‎ Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.‎ ‎32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.‎ ‎ A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious ‎ C. were less active D. woke up later ‎33. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?‎ ‎ A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times. B. It can make people more energetic.‎ ‎ C. It’s used in sleeping drugs. D. It exists in milk in great amount.‎ ‎34. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Night Milk and Sleep B. Fat, Sugar and Health ‎ C. An Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health ‎35. How does the author support the theme of the text?‎ A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.‎ C. By explaining statistical data. D. By providing research results.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to cut the stress?‎ Life is full of stress, and everyone needs to find ways to reduce it.
