Several days ago, while I was logging onto QQ, my cousin’s QQ head popped out online. We hadn’t seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her “personal space”. I like visiting her space. It’s creative and modern and worth a visit. I can’t imagine my designing such a colorful web page. When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed, but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further observation made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals (部首) to the original characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gave new life to the Chinese language and culture.
It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still can’t accept this new cultural change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn’t superficially change them by adding an additional radical. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice.

A. the author is a teacher in a college
B. the author can design a webpage creatively
C. the Chinese characters have been changed into Japanese

Learn to relax. Overwork is the main reason why so many students feel tired and stressed (紧张). Cut down some of the jobs you need to do each day so that you can only focus on the most important things. Leave time for activities that are relaxing and fun. This might mean reading a good book, listening to the music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.
Get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form.

Learn to be calm(平静) when you face any problem. Find out the best option from those that are in your mind. Knowing that you are able to solve problems is a good way to build up your self-confidence (自信).

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy (敌人) ” would not discover me. Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
( )26. The author had kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
A. one
B. two
C. three
D. none
( )27. would scare the author at night.

C. follow others closely
D. make sure not to take a wrong bus
( )29. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
A. She was usually popular among people.
B. She was always the leader of the others.
C. She always got poor grades.
D. She was not at all liked by others.

D. 克服
