二、阅读理解

(2019·山东淄博临淄第一中学模拟)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 stress is. 1. 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 a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. 2. Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. 3. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

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

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. 4. If you get

enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you'll probably feel less stressed.

七、Dear Jason,

Thank you so much for your e-mail, I'm very happy to tell you about my school life.

I like the Football Club best because I've made quite a few friends by joining the club. Moreover, it's an excellent chance to learn team spirit.

However, I've also met some problems over the four years. The biggest one is how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies. Whenever I am in great need, my English teacher always comes to me, so she is the person who has

helped me most in the junior high.

My dream is to be an English teacher in the future. I will study hard.

All in all, I enjoy my school life because it's colorful and meaningful. How about your school life? Write to me soon.

Best wishes!

Yours，

Li Wen
