4
Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns， things that happen over and over again. For example， you may find that your knees ache when you run on consecutive（连续的） or back-to-back days. But perhaps you feel great when you rest in between running days. These notes will help you identify the best workout for you.

Always consider the worst. Unhealthy people always assume that no one will like them， that they’ll always mess up， and that they’ll never be successful. 1 .
Look for the easy way out. 2 They expect immediate results and don’t believe that hard work will get them where they want to go. Instead， they expect that if something is going to change， it should happen now.
Feel jealous of others’success. They tend to feel jealous when other people are successful. They often feel angered by people who are more attractive， earn more money， or have a better life. They don’t stop to look at the hard work a person has put in to gain that success. 3
Blame their health on genetics（遗传）. 4 Instead， they blame their weight or illness on genetics. They think if they had a mother with a certain illness they’re bound to have it too. Instead of recognizing their genes may help them identify risk factors， they just think that their genes make their health problems inevitable and they make no attempts to change the situation. 5 Instead of focusing on how to improve their lives， they focus on judging everyone else.

Five Tips for Standing Down Your Stress
Stress， like steam in a tea kettle needs an escape. The good news is we have five senses. 1 Perhaps we can also use the senses to stand down our stress.
Smell something：Take your nose for a walk， get out of your office，and smell something different，something soothing：a scented candle，grilled onions， puppy breath，that new car smell.
2
Touch something：The idea is to stimulate your sense of touch beyond the daily sensory overload. Smooth cotton sheets， pet an animal， dig in the dirt， hit a punching bag or squeeze a stress ball. Or better yet， get a hand and arm massage.
3 Eat something you normally don’t. Take a walk， find a hole in the wall restaurant that is not a typical meal for you. Eat slowly， savor the new textures， smells， seasoning and presentation.
Stimulate the Eyes： Change your scenery. 4 Visit an art museum， garden， hilltop or the top of a building. Sit. Take in the view. They say the eyes are the window to the soul， perhaps allow your soul to be refreshed with new sites.
Hearing：This one is huge. There is power in an ocean wave to reset the body’s clock. Find a waterfall， a water fountain， or some other rhythmic sound and sit. 5 The rhythm of your feet running a slow steady pace， or a dance done in 2/4 time rather than 4/4 time may reorganize the fight or flight sprint.
A. Taste something.
B. Breathe in deeply.
C. Touch is a good way to stand down.
D. Music has a way of resetting us also.
E. Just go to find a live concert and enjoy the atmoshere there.

3

Tips on listening in English exams
Listening is a vital part for middle school students in English exams. And quite a few students find it difficult to deal with it. In that case， the following suggestions may benefit you a lot.
Relax yourself. Before listening， it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 1 If that doesn’t work， drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.
2 As soon as the listening starts， focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening， you can also recall（回想） the related knowledge in common with the material concerned， such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic， which is beneficial to your better understanding.
Grasp the main idea. Sometimes the monologue， dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However， you don’t need to understand it completely. 3 Ignore the new words. Without doubt， there usually exist unfamiliar words in a passage for students， whether in reading or listening materials. In fact， it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 4 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.
◆ Develop the habit of taking notes. In the course of listening， it’s a good habit to write down the main content and leave out the unimportant details. 5 By taking notes， we can remind ourselves of the key points. But bear in mind that never allow note-taking to get in the way of understanding what you’re hearing.
A. Concentrate on listening.
B. The more words you memorize， the better it is.
C. Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.
D. What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.
E. Make a list of what you think is important while listening.
F. Instead， just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.
G. If you feel nervous or anxious， try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.
（八）

Memory varies from person to person. Some people have a good memory and they can remember the past clearly and exactly. 1 Then the tips below may be helpful to improving memory.
2 As we know， the brain works fast when it tries to get a good state to learn or search things， which means more energy and nutrition will be needed. An ideal diet will provide enough and various nutrition so that it helps build up a stronger body system to help the memory.
Exercise regularly and sleep well. Treating your body well can enhance （促进） your ability to process and recall information. 3 It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss. Similarly， with a good sleep， we can memorize things more energetically and recall things more accurately.
Make time for friends and fun. Relationships activate （使活跃） our brain —— in fact， communicating with others may be the best form of brain exercise. Research has shown that having meaningful relationships and a strong support system are vital not only to emotional health， but also to brain health. In addition， laughter is good for your brain and it’s said to be the best medicine. 4
Sum up and sort out similar things. Trying to find the connection between different things may help to form a united link in a couple of things. We make things easy to learn for we can find association in new things with the old ones， which will lead memory to a better state. 5 Improved organization and classification can help you remember and recall things more easily and quickly. A. A good and balanced diet can contribute.

Tips on listening in English exams

Grasp the main idea. Sometimes the monologue， dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However， you don’t need to understand it completely. 3 Ignore the new words. Without doubt， there usually exist unfamiliar words in a passage for students， whether in reading or listening materials.
