(2017·长春市质监一)Are you having trouble concentrating when you're reading a book or listening to a lecture？This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.

Make a list.We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 1 You don't worry about whatever else you should be doing.

Sleep more.Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 2

Eat healthier foods.Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 3 They might give you a temporary burst of energy.However，that energy is soon followed by a crash.

Reduce screen time.This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people.Screen time—time spent looking at cell phones，televisions，computer screens，has a clear effect on the attention span. 4

5 Concentration improves for students who participate in team sports.It could be that being active is helpful in this way.Participating in a sport trains your brain to concentrate on specific tasks，and shut out other thoughts.

A．Be active.

B．Practice more.

C．These foods can provide enough energy for focusing.

D．But these foods can't be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.

E．That is bad news for teens who stay up studying the night before a test.

F．Researchers advise parents to limit it when their children need to be focused.

G．By writing down all the things you need to do，you'll gain a sense of control. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了几种提高注意力的方法。

(2017·广州市综合测试一)We've all experienced peer pressure(同伴压力)．It happens to everybody.However，people have different reactions.Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do，but shy and anxious people often give in.It may be because they want to be liked.It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them，or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. 6 It's hard being the only one who says no and the question is：how do you do it？

7 If you think that missing maths，or smoking，or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't like is a bad idea then the answer is simple：don't do it.It's your decision，nobody else's.You don't need to be aggressive.You don't need to shout and scream，but you must be confident and you must be firm.You need to say，“No，thanks.I don't want to do that.”

Being on your own against everybody else is very hard，so it can really help to have at least one other peer，or friend，who will say no too. 8 You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble.You don't want people who will always agree with the majority.Remember，the most popular people aren't always the most
