Studying is not always the most interesting task within your day, but it is a necessary one. Even though it is required, everyone has got bored at one time or another while studying. Although this is a common problem, here are some tips for you to keep boredom away while you are studying.
Find a suitable place to study.
Make sure you are in a place that is free of distraction (分心). Distractions will actually cause you to become more bored because you are reminded of the things you could be doing other than studying.
Make a ▲ plan.
Plan first. List what you need to get completed and how long you need to complete it. If you know when you can go back to play sports or talk to your friends, you will be more likely to fix your attention on studies.
Mix up your topics.
Change up the topics that you are studying. Mix up what you study every half an hour to an hour or so to avoid boredom. For example, study history for 45 minutes, maths for 45 minutes, and English for 45 minutes. Make sure you don’t spend all your time on one subject.
Take notes as you go.
Take a notebook out and write down important notes while you are reading an article in a textbook. Not only will it help keep you engaged, you will also be learning more because you process the information once as you read it and then again as you synthesize the information to write down.

Researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, a State-owned defense contractor, have developed and made the world’s first robot whale shark（鲸鲨）.
The robotic shark has been on display in an aquarium（水族馆）at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park since January.
A whale shark is a slow-moving carpet shark and the largest known living fish.
Designed and built by engineers at the Shenyang-based No 111 Factory, the underwater robot is 4.7 meters long, weighs 350 kilograms and can move 42 meters a minute.
Powered by a lithium battery, it can swim, turn, float and dive like a real shark by moving its mechanical fins（鳍）. The mouth and gills（鳃）can also open and close like a shark’s. The biomimetic shark is made of sensors（传感器）, multi-joint fins, batteries, and systems which enable it to avoid what’s in the way in all directions.
“The robot can reach a depth of 10 meters and work for as long as 10 hours,” said Fang Xuelin, a senior researcher in charge of the robot shark program.
“The shark can be remotely controlled and can also swim based on preset programs or its own sensors,” he said.
“We have built multiple kinds of robot fishes, and the robotic whale shark is the largest mechanical fish we have made so far,” Fang added. “Our robots are to serve three purposes—to perform in aquariums for entertainment, spread knowledge about the sea and aquatic（水生的）animals among youngsters, and carry out scientific tasks such as hydrological surveys, underwater photography and environmental inspection.”
“The factory now plans to develop more types of aquatic robots, including some extinct mammals（哺乳动物）, for display in parks and schools. It will also promote the products to businesses engaged in fields such as underwater salvage and mineral prospecting,” he said.
14．The whale shark on display is ________.
A．the world’s first robot B．the largest living fish
C．a 7.4-meter-long shark D．a robotic shark
15．What does the underlined word “biomimetic”in Paragraph 5 mean

B．Powered by a lithium battery, the shark can swim without stopping.
C．The factory has built multiple kinds of robot fishes including the shark.
D．The factory has developed some extinct mammals for display in parks.
17．What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about
A．The limits of the aquatic robots. B．The purposes of the aquatic robots.
C．The progress in making aquatic robots. D．The steps to developing aquatic robots.

A spoon of pickles (榨菜) can sometimes make a meal taste way better. Recently, a new type of pickle is being discussed: “digital pickled vegetables”. It stands for the videos people watch while eating that make their food more delicious.
______①______. The topic received more than 16 million clicks on Sina Weibo and about 100,000 people joined in the discussion. Instead of having a good time with friends and family during a meal, many young people in China keep their eyes on TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is tastier with the digital pickles.
______②______. Can this habit influence your diet According to a research paper published in 2019, you may eat more without noticing it. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating habits on four different days. The habits included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction (干扰). After studying their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased caloric intake by about 15 percent.
______③______. To find out the reason, the team invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to sounds about another person eating and the other listened to sounds that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they paid more attention to their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
______④______. A research project led by the University of Sussex, UK, pointed out that activities which need lots of attention trick many people into overeating. The team invited 120 people to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. “Our study shows that if you’re eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a difficult task, it is less possible for you to tell how full you feel,” one of the researchers Martin Yeomans explained.

C．Different eating habits made little difference to people’s diet.
D．Volunteers were divided into four groups by the research team.
20．Where can you put the sentence “This works not only for eating meals but other difficult tasks as well.”
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
21．What is the best title for the article
A．Finish tasks while eating B．Imagine yourself eating

If you are going to study abroad, which country would you like to go to Chinese students are searching for the best country.
A growing number of Chinese students are studying in Asian universities, especially during the recent years, China Daily reported. Take Singapore for example. The 2021 Report on Chinese Students Overseas Studies showed that the percent of Chinese students interested in studying in the country has risen from 9% to 12% in the past three years. Other Asian countries like Thailand, South Korea and Malaysia are also winning Chinese students’ hearts.
The growth of quality education in the area is the main reason for the change. According to the latest QS World University Rankings 2022, more than 10 universities in Asian countries (except China) are listed in the top 100. The two leading universities are the National University of Singapore(NUS) in 11th place and Nanyang Technological University, also in Singapore, in 12th place.
Zhang Mila, 28, graduated from NUS in 2018. She chose the university for its high standard of education. She joined the volleyball team at NUS, took part in competitions and made good friends through rich social activities. “The diversified(多元化的) courses might not help me in my future career, but it opened my eyes and knowledge,” Zhang told China Daily.
The lower cost, geographical advantages and similar cultures in Asian countries are other reasons attracting Chinese students. For example, if you study in South Korea, the cost is about $16,000 per year(about 114,000 yuan), compared with the $50,000 it costs to study in the UK for a year and $100,000 in the US.
Chinese students have taken studying abroad as a choice for higher education. Now, the study destinations(目的地) are also becoming more diversified, said Pan Jie, chief officer at Liyuan Education, an overseas education consulting company in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
54．What was the percent of Chinese students interested in studying in Singapore three years ago
55．Why have Chinese students chosen to study in Asian countries recently
56．If you have a chance to study abroad, where would you like to go, the West or the East Why

That day, I faced a challenge
Everyone faces challenges in life. That day, I faced a challenge that I would never forget.
I am not good at doing sports, so I always fail in the PE exam, especial in the 800-meter race. That day, when I was in an 800-meter race, I suddenly fell down and my left leg hurt badly. I was upset and wanted to give up. My classmates cheered me up and their sound encouraged me to continue running. When I finished it, I found the race was not so difficult as I expected.
From this experience, I understand if we don’t give up, we will deal with any challenge.
