先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍,争取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精听,力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方,再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?

Lesson10 A Student's Guide to Exam Stress
As exam fever heats up, keep your 1 from our health correspondent Dr Barry Lynch.
Stress is difficult to define but most of us know it when we experience it. We may have mental symptoms: panic, feeling trapped or overwhelmed. Or there may be physical symptoms: sweating palms, butterflies, headaches, breathlessness or sleeplessness.
Stress can 2 overwhelmed and powerless to tackle the very things that are causing the stress in the first place. So make a carefully written plan and the problems will seem less overwhelming. Ticking off each thing as you do it will help you feel there is light 3 the tunnel.
When you're writing your revision plan, make sure you 4 — exactly an hour or whatever — before you go back to work. Look forward to your time off and do something pleasant 5 . Work out little treats and rewards for yourself as you tick off each thing on your plan. The treats can be simple: an ice cream, half an hour listening to your personal stereo, or walking the dog.
Easier said than done, I know, but exercise is one of the best ways of relaxing: it's the natural way to deal with adrenaline and similar hormones that are rushing around your body. A walk will help; a quick swim or half an hour of tennis or another game is even better.
Don't drink endless cups of tea or coffee: although caffeine is a stimulant it will eventually only make you tenser and nervous.
Don't try to go without sleep — sleep is a natural way of relieving stress.
Don't be tempted to use alcohol or other drugs to relieve stress. They create more problems than they solve.

学生如何缓解考试压力
当考试的热潮一浪高过一浪时,你必须保持冷静,下面就听听我们的健康记者巴里•林奇博士的建议吧。
压力很难定义,但是当我们遇到压力时就知道了什么叫压力。我们可能会有精神上的症状:惊慌,感到无助或不知所措。或许还有生理上的症状:手出汗,胃不舒服,头痛,喘不过气来或失眠。
压力能使我们感到不安和无力处理那些最初导致压力产生的事情。所以制定一份详细的书面计划可以使麻烦易于解决。每做完一件事后你就勾掉它,这样,你就会感到希望就在前头。
当你制定计划时,千万留出一些休息时间——在你重新回去工作前——要有一小时左右的时间。盼望着休息时间快来,到时候做些令人愉快的事情。当你在计划上勾掉一件事时,就给自己一点小小的奖赏。奖赏可以非常简单:一个冰激凌,听半小时音乐或溜溜狗。
我知道说起来容易做起来难,其实运动是最好的放松方法之一:它能很自然地消除由于紧张不安而导致的内分泌激增。
散步就有所帮助,快速游泳或打半小时的网球或其他运动将更有好处。
不要不停地喝茶或咖啡:虽然咖啡因有刺激作用,但它最终只会让你越来越紧张不安。
不要熬夜——睡眠是减轻压力的自然方法。
不要为了减轻压力而经受不住酒精或其他药品的诱惑。它们制造的麻烦会比它们解决的问题更多。
