Dear Michael,
I am glad to learn that you have been chosen to study in China. Your dream has come true!

When you first started to learn Chinese, I 3 it was nothing but a passing fad (一时的狂热). However, you didn’t 4 halfway, but kept on learning and did a good job in the HSK(汉语水平考试). Now you finally got what you had 5 for a long time. You got the chance to 6 life in China for one year. You should have it, my son, for chances only come to those who are 7 .
When you study there, you will have to face 8 in everyday life that you have never experienced before, but after a year abroad, you will return with a new 9 at life—and at yourself.
Your mum and I are both 10 you. Keep it up, my son!

Ⅱ.[2019·乐山改编] 阅读理解
What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about maths. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a maths exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(压力大的).
“For people who are worried about maths, posture(姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That’s right—sitting up straight can help you do better in maths exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple maths exam while sitting in a slumped-over(趴倒的) posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
“Slumping over is a defensive(戒备的) posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly,” Peper said.
Students who were not nervous about taking the maths exam did not necessarily benefit(受益) from better posture. But they did find that doing maths while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.
Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking maths exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.

2.What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test? ( )
