Ⅰ.阅读理解

Clare is a third grader at Hoover Elementary School in Dubuque，Iowa. She often saw somebody outside during a class break, sitting alone and not having any friends to play with. When seeing this scene, she felt bothered, for in her mind everybody in the world needed friends. That was why Clare came up with an idea－“a buddy bench”．

Buddy benches have been tried at other schools.In 2012，a girl named Acacia came up with the idea of the friendship bench with her parents' help. The students found it was something that was badly needed. Many students went there and found their friends. Other students learnt the importance of social communication with the words，like “hope”，“respect”，“listen”and“dream”，painted on the benches. The friendship bench was also praised by teachers there.

Clare thinks her school also needs such benches. So she has been working on raising money to pay for the benches and talking with school officials about getting them installed.“They are certainly something that I think will be great additions to our school，”said Claret principal，Kathleen.“Clare thinks that everybody needs friends，”said her mom，Tricia.“Moreover，she wants everybody to be her friends.Clare had been inspired by her elder sister who is disabled.”“Having seen her sister's struggles，she understood what other kids felt when they were struggling.Clare didn't want to see her sister or anybody else struggle.”

As the actor Will Rogers said，“A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet.”That's apparently how Clare sees people as well.“I hope that I can have thousands and thousands of friends，”Clare said.“Everybody needs friends.”

5__　 Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration.

When you arrive in the examination room，find your seat and sit down.Breathe slowly and deeply.Check the time on the clock during the test，but not too often. Above all，take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
