Life is like a road on which you never get a chance to return, and is not a very long road either. So we should try to live life to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it.Every individual has unique likings and preferences, and all of us try to live the lives that suit us best. The world is like a painting cloth on which different people with different races, different languages, and different cultural backgrounds interact. But among these, the arts provide an easy and natural way for people to connect.People with a knack for the arts usually discover it in childhood. But art isn’t only for the talented; it can help everyone grow. Those with a strong artistic background are often more energetic, and more successful in all fields of life. Art widens the range of a person’s life.Painting is one of the most popular art forms. Those who are interested in taking it up as a career need to go through extensive training to get familiar with the various styles. Professional painters often host art exhibitions, with art lovers from all over the world coming to see and buy their creations. Sometimes the paintings are sold at high prices.Performing arts are equally popular and admired. Dance, instrumental music, drama and so on, require unusual artistic talent as well as a long period of education and training before audiences start to applaud the performances. But anyone with some artistic sense can make art part of his/ her life, and benefit from it.1.

But with some simple practices to reduce test anxiety (焦虑), researchers cut that number in half. Christopher Rozek is a psychologist at Stanford University. He studies how stress and other things can affect learning. Reducing test anxiety had raised test scores in several small studies. So Rozek and his team decided to test it on a larger scale. Rozek’s group wanted to know if short stress-relief activities before an exam would affect a student’s grade. They tested 1,175 biology students at a large, public high school in Illinois. At this school, a little more than half of low-income students fail their biology finals. Only 6 percent of high-income students fail.They divide the students into four groups. One group spent 10 minutes free-writing about their fears. This was designed to clear the kids’ heads so that they could then focus on the exam. Another group read how the body responds to stress and how these can actually help with attention. Then they answered reading comprehension questions. Students in a third group did both of these reading and writing activities. A fourth group, called the active control group, read a passage that told them to just ignore their worries.Afterward, the students all took their final test in biology. A total of 205 low-income students did one or both stress-relieving activities. On average, these students scored higher on the exam than their classmates in the control group. Indeed, 82 percent of them passed the class. Only 61 percent of the lower-income students in the control group passed. It didn’t seem to matter whether a student read or free-wrote about managing stress, or both. All methods worked equally well at helping students pass their tests.Nearly all the high-income kids passed the class whether they did the activities or not. These students may be less nervous before exams. Or they may have already learned ways to deal with the stress, Rozek says.4. The control group in the study refers to the students who ______. A. did the free-writing about their fears B. were not affected by their exam stress C. received no stress-relieving training D. were controlled to be active in exams5. We can learn from the study that ______. A. all the stress-relieving activities had a positive effect on the low-income students B. the high-income students performed as well as the low-income students C. all the low-income students who did stress-relieving activities passed the exam D. Few low-income students who did not do stress-relieving activities passed the exam6. Why did the stress-relieving activities make no difference for the high-income students? 。
