Bury Trip — 24th July 2015
We will be leaving Homerton teacher campus at 13:45. Please be at the front of the college 10 minutes early. If you are late, you may miss the coach and not be able to go! If you miss the coach, you will not receive repayment! The coach is planned to arrive in Bury at 14:30, although this is dependent on traffic.

                  THINGS TO DO 
Visit the Abbey（修道院） 
The remains of this historic monument, which originally was a shrine(圣所) to Saint Edmund, a Saxon King, are well worth a visit. The Abbey is also surrounded by beautiful gardens, and is located next to the St. Edmundsbury Cathedral.
Have a drink in The Nutshell 
This charming little bar is officially the smallest pub in Great Britain. Good things come in small packages though, and The Nutshell serves some of the region's finest drinks, as well as having fascinating historical items and photos.
Go around the brewery shop 
At the Greene King shop you can taste and buy some of the local beer, as well as food such as chutney. There are also clothing and other great gift ideas available to buy.
Several attractions are listed, but feel free to explore on your own. A Course Assistant will be around to help you throughout the trip but they will not act as a guide.
21. Those who miss the coach _______.
   A. can catch another coach
   B. can ask other teachers for a ride

B
Visualization is closely related to positive thinking. It is used by athletes, musicians, actors, speakers, and others to improve their performance in stressful situations. How does it work? Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber :
Right before a big race, I’ll picture myself running, and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind. Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in… behind someone, being pushed, different positions on the track, laps to go, and, of course the final part. And I always picture myself winning the race, no matter what happens during the event.
Of course, Huber doesn’t win every race she runs, but research has shown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance. It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright.
The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech. Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak. See yourself at the lectern(放演讲稿的讲桌)，self-assured, making eye contact(接触)with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm, clear voice. Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying. Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best.
As you create these images in your mind’s eye, be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech. Don’t allow negative images to affect the positive ones. Acknowledge your nervousness, but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation. If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble, visualize yourself getting through it without any problems. And be specific. The clearer your mental pictures, the more successful you are likely to be.
As with your physical rehearsal(排练)of the speech, this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak. It doesn’t guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it－and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation. But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation.
24. Huber’s visualization of her races _______.
A. is detailed and thorough B. is used during the event
C. is based on real pictures D. is created with other runners
25. According to the text, if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech, you should ______.
A. ignore the negative aspects B. do the mental imaging later
C. imagine finishing it smoothly D. create clearer mental pictures
26. What do we learn about mental rehearsal?
A. It usually produces the desired results.
B. It may be a good way to calm you down.
C. It is more important than physical rehearsal.
D. It is a good chance to show your imagination.
C
In Africa, wild baboons(狒狒) like banding together to find food and protect each other. They may not be the smartest species, but like all animals, survival instincts(本能) are programmed into their DNA. They know that being together makes them safer.
   Now think about your school. Sure, no one is trying to eat you alive, but you too are a social animal. And you are one who has been thrown into a fierce environment. From day one, you sense that there’s safety in numbers. And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs, you feel more secure. “When I first walked into my new high school last year, I was so nervous,” says Mike, 15, a high school student in New York City. “Everyone sat and walked together, in twos or threes — sometimes as a ‘group’ of five or more people. I didn’t understand how I would ever belong.”
   Mike isn’t alone. In a survey, 63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular, and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups.
    It is believed that to be popular is to be liked. But all popular people aren’t necessarily liked. They just make rules. Popular groups aren’t the only ones making rules. Zoe, a freshman from New York, says that even her close crew, which calls itself the “booknerds(书呆子),” has unspoken guidelines. When Zoe wears makeup or a dress, her friends act like she's betrayed them: “They’ ll say,‘Oh, she's painting her nails. She's a popular girl now. ’They’re joking, but they’re not, if you know what I mean. It makes me upset."
“Because of the way the teen brain works, differences are seen as threatening,” says researcher Alexandra Robbins. “But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood.”
Take, for example, Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5. In high school, he was a “nerdy, awkward kid crazy about music.” Now he's successful and famous. Then there’s Taylor Swift: Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her, she put her energy into songwriting.
27.When Mike first came to his high school, he_______.
 A. was excited to make new friends
   B. was proud of his new pretty school
   C. was pretty nervous about his coming exams
   D. was worried about finding new companions
28. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?
   A. Most of us like popular people.
   B. Only popular groups make rules.
   C. Being popular is important to students.
   D. There are always some rules in a group.
29. Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress, her friends_______ .
   A. praise her    B. appear unhappy
   C. are proud of her    D. are envious of her
30. Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student?
   A. She was very popular.
   B. She had many friends.
   C. She was devoted to her hobby.
   D. She was one of the coolest kids.
第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human. We might use the word "negative" to describe more difficult emotions, but it doesn't mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn't have them. Still, most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one. 31 .
What matters is how our emotions are balanced — how much of each type of emotion, positive or negative, we experience.
Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with. For example, fear can alert us to possible danger. 32 . Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes, crossing a boundary, or violating our trust. Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf.
Negative emotions focus our awareness. 33 . But too many negative emotions can make us feel anxious, exhausted, or stressed out. When negative emotions are out of balance, problems might seem too big to handle.
Positive emotions balance out negative ones, but they have other powerful benefits, too. Instead of narrowing our focus like negative emotions do, positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness, attention, and memory. They help us take in more information and hold several ideas in mind at once. 34 .
When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to learn and build on our skills. 35 .
A. What helps you feel confident?
B. That leads to doing better on tasks and tests.
C. It’s a signal that we might need to protect ourselves.
D. They help us focus on a problem so we can deal with it.
E. For example, it’s likely you’d prefer to feel happy instead of sad.
F. And they then make us understand how different ideas relate to each other.
G. Pay attention to these powerful tools and find ways to make time for them.
