Hu Yaohui，a schoolgirl in Zhejiang province，
didn't want to speak or eat for a week．She kept worrying about her scores on the exam．"I can't stop thinking abo ut my place in the class，"she said．"I feel stressed out．"
Hu is not the only one who faces stress．According to a recent survey conducted by Wuhan University of Hubei pr ovince，70percent of the 2，000students who are going to take the college and high school entrance exams
feel under pressure （压力）． Stress is a normal physical response （反应） to things

Stress isn't always bad．Sometimes，people's stress is important during emergency situations，

stress overloads may have problems remembering or concentrating on things．They are quick to get angry or lose patience．They may even have other problems，such as sleeping problems，headaches and often getting colds．The most helpful way to deal with stress overloads is to learn how to manage the stress．For example，
you might manage it by getting a good night's sleep，or by exercising every day．
Another good way to deal with stress is to ask parents or friends for help．Everyone has stress．For many people，stress is so common that it has become a way of life．Don't be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time ．They may comfort you or give you some useful advice．Sometimes just sharing your problems with someone el se can make you feel better．
42．Hu Yaohui felt stressed out about ______
A．her marks on the exams

A mouse was surprised to discover that the farmer and his wife had a mousetrap (老鼠夹) in the house. It ran t

A hen raised its head and said, "Mr. Mouse, this mousetrap is only for you. I won't be worried about it." The mou se turned to a pig, "I am sorry, Mr. Mouse, but the mousetrap has nothing to do with me, either!" the pig said. The
n the mouse turned to a cow. "It sounds like you have a problem, not me." the cow said. The mouse returned to th

六、任务型阅读（10分）
We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she still gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’ s what you do while you are sitting.” Indeed, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.
If your math teacher assigns(分派) five problems you should do six. If your Chinese teacher assigns eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.
Studying is a matter of personal preference(偏爱), so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. Still others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way you use, try to do your best.
Studying is your business and business comes before entertainment(娱乐). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull you away from what you are studying.
Studying is like eating. You chew(咀嚼) it one bite at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will disappointed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you arrange your time.
The students who hand in a clearly written paper is already half way to an A. Neat(工整的) papers are likely to get higher marks than sloppy(被泼水弄湿的) ones. When you write neatly and do your work carefully, the
