16、reasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see
17、 in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片 ) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which ar
18、e shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. Its certain that many things from America are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. Ive known
19、about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, its different with Western fast food. For example, I dont think McDonalds is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the o
20、ther hand, maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. Its true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonalds, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, its obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a p
21、art of our lives every day. 1. From the first paragraph we can know that _.

The name of a restaurant. C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food. 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 D Do
24、you feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just the night before If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety. But dont fear. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it. Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness
25、 can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body gives out the hormone adrenaline (肾上腺素 ) which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor per
26、formance. Some people might feel hot or even sick. If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety. When you feel a storm of anxi
27、ety coming on, stop what youre doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to STOP! This will get your mind off the stress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them fi
28、rst. This will help gain your confidence. Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example, Ive studied hard and I know the material, so Im ready to do the best I can. Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes
29、. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities. Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test.
