　　Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid “
　　Must” think. Let go of the notion that you must do something in a certain way—for example, “I must get a great score on a test, or else.” This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Evaluate your situation coldly and analytically, and not as a “life or death” situation. Watch the Mess. Don’t study in a messy or cramped area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free of distractions. Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller and doable
　　parts and you’ll feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part.
　　Ocean Dumping. Visualize yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand

　　watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think Good Thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief affirmations and mentally repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning. Imagine
　　Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings
　　of confidence. Use Your Bed for Sleeping, not Studying. Your mind may start to
　　associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
　　It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single
　　human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation’s progress in Canada.
　　It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John
　　McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first powered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth.
　　McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability—and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto—and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
　　The oldest and simplest method, then of describing differences in personality was to classify people according to types, and such a system is called a Typology.
　　A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400 BC.
　　A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed a definite type of personality.
　　The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had too much blood, he was called sanguine(血红色), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates’ fluid theory. But the names of the humors, corresponding to these temperaments, have survived and are still useful, to some extent, in describing personality.

　　Other features of people, such as their faces and physics, have also been used to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories and classifications may also include factors such as heredity(遗传特征), the environment, intelligence, and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology are involved in these theories. Because of the complexity of human personality, present day theories are often very different from one another. Psychologists vary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality.
　　36.According to Hippocrates’ fluid theory, a man with too much phlegm will be ____.
　　A.optimistic B.easily angered
　　C.unexcitable D.pessimistic

​　　Migrant Workers
　　Each year, attracted by job opportunities, thousands of migrant workers rush into cities to better their life. While fulfilling their personal desires, these
　　migrant workers also provide urban residents with more conveniences by working in all walks of life. Besides, they meet the emergent needs of work force in some industries such as construction and help to quicken the steps of city construction through their hard work, therefore contributing a lot to the city’s social and economic development.
　　However, cities are, at the same time, confronted with many problems created by migrant workers. For example, too many migrant workers result in over crowded space and thus cause housing problem; secondly, they make a mess of city’s environment by littering casually; and thirdly, migrant population may create difficulties in carrying family planning policy, etc.
　　But we can’t expel migrant workers from cities just because of the above problems.
　　We should adopt correct attitudes towards them and take effective measures to solve them. We firmly believe that migrant workers will be of greater help to citylife in future.
