What is your best subject at school? For some it might be English or math. For some students, when it comes to different subjects, imbalance (不平衡) becomes a problem. Should you try to balance all subjects, or just spend more time on your favorite subject? It's necessary to know how to deal with the imbalance.
It is normal to like one or two subjects better. You can't be the best at anything. But at the same time, you can't allow a large gap(差距) between what you like and dislike. That's why most teachers keep telling the "bucket (木桶) story" to their students. The story says that the shortest board decides the bucket's volume (容量) of water. However, some students stick to (坚持) their main interests. Pan Qianlin, 16, from Shanghai, said, "I love math. I spend most of my free time doing math exercises. I have won several prizes in math. I will keep on working in this area."
In British and American schools, students face similar problems. However, they are often encouraged to choose either the liberal arts (文科) or the sciences. They can choose subjects at 16. If they have a weak subject, they simply don't choose it.
The most successful students in one subject are sometimes terrible in another. The famous scientist, Albert Einstein, is an example. He was described as stupid by his teacher for being unable to read well when he was young.

What subject do you worry about most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very worried during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(有压力的).
"For people who worry about math, posture(姿势)makes a big difference," Erik Peper from
San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right - sitting up straight(直地)can help you do better in math exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a math test while sitting up straight, or sitting in a slumped-over(趴倒的)position. After the test, 56 percent of the students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Students who were not worried about taking the math exam did not do better from better posture. But they did find that it was more difficult to do math while slumping over, Science Daily reported
Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Runners, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.
1.Which posture can make students do better during math exams?
A. B. C. D.
2.Scientists asked the 125 college students to _________ while they were taking the test.
A.get relaxed B.count numbers
C.think carefully D.sit in different postures

A.参与 B.得益 C.排斥 D.忧虑
4.The best title for the passage would______________________.

Of all the subjects at school, I like English best. They say English is too difficult to learn and that some of us have to give it up, but I don’t think so. Here I would like to tell you something about my way of studying English.
On the one hand, English is difficult to learn because of the fact that the language is so different from our mother language. On the other hand, we haven’t got enough chances to hear English spoken, and it is hard for us to speak English to foreigners.
So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practice speaking English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher very carefully and try my best to answer the teacher’s questions. After class I listen to the tapes of the texts again and again until I can understand every word of it. I often retell the texts in my own words. If I have the chance, I will speak English to my friends by using the things I have learned.
Of course this is not enough. In the evening I do my written work carefully. When something interesting happens to me, I will write it down in English. At first, I couldn’t write well, but with the help of my teachers I have made great progress.(进步)

Form 1
What is good for your mental health?
Doing something for a change is a good way. It could be a fiveminute
rest from cleaning your house, a halfhour lunch break at work or a weekend finding somewhere new.
Taking a break may mean being very active. It may mean not doing very much at all. Take a deep breath... and relax. Try yoga or a deep thought, or just putting your feet up. A few minutes can be enough to make you feel good.
Listening to your body is also helpful. If you're really tired, give yourself time to sleep. Sometimes the world can wait.
Form 2
What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in?
Enjoying yourself is good for your mental health, too. Doing an activity you enjoy probably means you're good at it and being good at something builds up your confidence(自信).
Having a hobby like gardening, dancing or drawing can help you forget your worries for a while and change your mood(情绪).
I'm learning the guitar. I have to really give attention to getting it right, so there's no room in my head for worries.
It can be good to have an interest where you are not someone's mom or dad, teacher or doctor. You are just you.
An hour of drawing lets you show yourself creatively. A morning on the football ground gets you active and gives you the chance to meet new people.
