Next year the U.S. National Park Service will turn 100. The 100th anniversary （周年紀(jì)念日）will be celebrated across the nation.

Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Interior of the United States, started a new program called “Find Your Park.” She said being outside helps both children and adults in today’s computer-driven world.

“In this society, where we’ve got much information at out fingertips, and things to distract（分散……注意力）our brains, there is little to distract our bodies and that’s why parks and open spaces are so important and even more important with each passing year,” Jewell said.

From beautiful lands and mountains to historical and cultural places, national parks can be found in all 50 states across the U.S. The parks had nearly 293 million visits in 2014. The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco was the most popular with 15 million visits. There are 28 different kinds of national park, and each park has an important story to tell.

Jewell has invited some famous Americans to help the anniversary. American First Lady Michelle Obama and former First Lady Laura Bush were invited to share their national park stories, because the White House is one of the country’s national parks.

Mrs. Obama encouraged “people across the country to ‘Find Your Park,’ whether it’s in your backyard, or your hometown, or in one of our beautiful national parks.”

Some well-known Americans have filmed their own personal national park stories and they can be seen on National Park Foundation website. Bill Nye, known as “The Science Guy,” and actress Bella Thorne are two of the people who have shared their personal national park stories.

The program wants the public to share park experiences and memories at FindYourPark.com. The website helps people find a park near their home, not just national parks, but local parks as well.

“It’s really all about getting people outside and moving as well as getting them to recognize（認(rèn)識）what parks and public lands have to offer,” Jewell said.

1.What’s the purpose of the program “Find Your Park”?

A. To get more people to connect with public lands.

B. To make sure people live in a healthy outdoor life.

C. To raise money for the 100th anniversary.

D. To keep children and adults away from computers

2.In Jewell’s opinion, parks and open spaces ______.

A. are good for helping brains to get information

B. have a big influence on people’s lives

C. are hard to attract human beings

Have you ever had a headache during a test? Have you ever been too worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is.

Not all stress is bad for you. Some kinds of stress can help you get things do better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are being asked to give a speech to your class. Stress sometimes can help push you to make full preparation for a test. However, too much stress can result in anger, depression and other related problems, which we need to take serious.

There are many things in our life what might cause stress ------ having too much homework, taking a difficult test, and having economic problems.

It’s impossible to live in a life completely free of stress, so you should learn to deal with stress. The best way reduce stress is to have a balance life. If you get enough sleep, eat properly, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you’ll probably feel less stressed.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年廣東仲元中學(xué)高一下期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

University — the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society... and, well, I did some work too — but I must admit that my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness (拖沓).

It is easy to look back at our university days in good ways but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has showed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, conducted by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of them feel stressed constantly.

Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didn’t enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I don’t think I’d realized that I’d forgotten how to make friends. I’d been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite at a young age."

Dr. Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunei University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life — to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on— being able to cook. Budgeting(預(yù)算) is extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”

I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.

1.How does the writer feel about his university life?

A. Challenging but wonderful.

B. Busy and tiring.

C. Dull and stressful.

D. Boring but successful.

2.Which is true about students who first enter university?

A. Most of them suffer from frequent stress.

B. Most of them find it hard to manage their life.

C. They fail to balance social and academic life.

D. They feel as comfortable as they expect.

3.Dr. Ruth Caleb thinks budgeting is of great importance because it_________.

A. helps students put everything in place

B. helps students live independently

C. makes students' university life easier

D. does good to students’ social relationships

4.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in the last paragraph?

A. Become very successful.

B. Make great progress.

C. Get used to university life

D. Go to university.
