Overwork is one of the main reasons why so many students feel tired and stressed. There are some ways for you to learn to relax. Such as reducing（减少）some of the jobs you do each day. So you can leave time for relaxing and fun activities, like reading a good book, listening to a sweet music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.

Secondly, get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you to keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to pay much attention to the things you need to do.

Next, eat healthy. You’d better eat as little junk food as possible.

Another way is getting to know pleasant people. Some people are optimistic, while others not. Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them. Then you’ll be as happy as them.

At last, learn to keep calm when you face problems. You know that you can probably solve the problems, and it is a good way to build up your self – confidence.

（C）

New Year’s Eve is a different time for people in different countries.

In England, we usually have a party with our friends and family. We turn the TV on and wait for Big Ben to hit 12. We form a circle and sing a very old song. And then we all wish each other “Happy New Year”. We make New Year’s resolutions, too. For example, travel more or spend more time with family.

In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes. Twelve grapes means the 12 months in a year. It is believed that if you eat the grapes, you will have good luck for the whole year.

【解析】

本文讲述了三个小故事：1.一些人通过画蛇的方法来决定谁喝最后一壶酒，先画完的那个人看到别人还没画完，就决定给蛇加上了脚，最后反而输了比赛。2.介绍如何减压的方法。3.文中介绍了不同国家庆祝新年前夕的不同习俗。

【1】句意：最后只剩一壶酒了。

根据前文One day a rich man invited his friends to a party and they drank a lot of wine“一天一个有钱人邀请他的朋友来参加一个派对，他们喝了许多酒”及此句中的only a pot of wine，可知，他们在派对上喝了许多酒，最后只剩一壶酒了，所以空格处填过去分词left作后置定语。故答案为left。

【2】句意：先画完蛇的那个人可以喝这壶酒，所以他们开始画。

根据句子结构，空格处所在句子是一个定语从句，而空格处是修饰从句中动词finish，所以空格处用副词。根据下文I am the winner. I will get the wine，可知，先画完赢了的那个人可以喝最后一壶酒，所以空格处填first。故答案为first。

【3】句意：他们其中一个人很快地画完了。

根据句子结构，空格处是修饰动词draw，所以空格处用副词。根据后文after he finished, he saw others were still busy drawing“他画完后，看到其他人仍在忙着画画”，可知，其中一个人很快地画完了蛇，所以空格处填副词quickly。故答案为quickly。

【4】句意：他完成后，他看到其他人仍在忙着画画。

固定搭配be busy doing sth“忙于做某事”，所以空格处填动名词作宾语。根据上文so they began drawing及one of them drew finished，可知，所有人都开始画画，其中一个人很快地画完了，而其他人还在忙着画画，所以空格处填drawing。故答案为drawing。

【5】句意：所以他给蛇加上了脚。

根据后文However, before he could finish the feet“然而，在他画完蛇脚之前”，可知，他又给蛇加上了脚，后文的feet是复数形式，所以此空处也填feet。故答案为feet。

【6】句意：然而，在他画完蛇脚之前，另一个人也完成了画画。

根据后文He took away the pot and said. “Who has ever seen a snake with feet”. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake. I am the winner“他拿走了这壶酒并说。谁曾看过一只有脚的蛇。蛇没有脚，所以你的画并不是一条蛇。我是获胜者”，可知，在这个人画蛇脚的过程中，另一个人也完成了画画。the other和another都表示“另一个”，the other用于两者之间，another用于不确定的人数，原文第一句his friends是不确定数量的，所以空格处填不定代词another。故答案为another。

【7】句意：他拿走了这壶酒并说。“谁曾看过一只有脚的蛇。蛇没有脚，所以你的画并不是一条蛇。我是获胜者。”

the是定冠词，后接名词。根据前文The person who finished the painting of a snake first could drink the wine及I will get the wine，可知，之前这些人约定谁先画完一条蛇，谁就可以喝最后的这壶酒，这个人画完了蛇，成为了获胜者，可以得到这壶酒，所以空格处填名词winner。故答案为winner。

【8】句意：说完这些话，他就离开了。

根据句子结构，he是主语，所以空格处填动词作谓语。根据前文I am the winner. I will get the wine以及所给的选词，可知，这个人获胜了并得到了最后一壶酒，接着就带这壶酒离开了，表述过去发生的事情，句子用一般过去时，所以空格处填went away。故答案为went away。

【9】根据not excited, nervous or upset“不要兴奋，不要紧张或不心烦”，可知，意味着“冷静”，所以空格处填calm。故答案为calm。

【10】根据the act of listening to, looking at or thinking about sth./sb. carefully“仔细听，看或思考的行为”，意味着“注意/留心”，所以空格处填attention。故答案为attention。

【11】原句表示“你最好尽可能少吃垃圾食品”，as…as possible=as…as sb can（尽可能……），其中sb应与句中的主语you保持一致，所以空格处填you。故答案为you。

【12】原句表示“你最好尽可能少吃垃圾食品”，as…as possible=as…as sb can（尽可能……），所以空格处填can。故答案为can。

【13】根据Overwork is one of the main reasons why so many students feel tired and stressed，可知，过度工作是导致如此多的学生感到疲惫和有压力的主要原因之一，所以空格处填Overwork is one of the main reasons。故答案为Overwork is one of the main reasons。

【14】根据Getting enough sleep will help you to keep your body and mind in the best form，可知，获得充足的睡眠可以帮助你保持身体和精神在最佳状态，所以空格处填Getting enough sleep。故答案为Getting enough sleep。

【15】根据reducing some of the jobs you do each day“减少每天做的一些工作”；get a good night’s sleep“获得一晚良好的睡眠”；eat healthy“吃健康的食物”；getting to know pleasant people“结实令人愉快的人”；learn to keep clam when you face problems“当你遇到问题时，学会保持冷静”，可知，本文共提到了5种减压的方法，所以空格处填Five ways。故答案为Five ways。

【16】句意：庆祝新年前夕的不同习俗。

此空格处所在句子是本文的标题，概括归纳本文的大意。根据In England, we usually have a party with our friends and family“在英国，我们通常与朋友和家人聚会”，In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes“在日本，当时钟敲响12点时，人们吃12颗葡萄”以及In Greece, lots of children get money for the New Year“在希腊，许多孩子可以得到压岁钱”，可知，本文主要讲的是不同国家庆祝新年前夕的不同习俗。动词不定式是作空格处的定语，空格处表示“庆祝新年前夕的不同习俗”，文中介绍的是三个国家的习俗，所以空格处填复数形式customs。故答案为customs。

【17】句意：他们也制定新年计划。

根据We make New Year’s resolutions, too，可知，英国人也制定新年计划。空格处所在句子是一个肯定句，且空格位于实义动词make前，所以用also表示“也”，所以空格处填also。故答案为also。

【18】句意：当时钟敲响12点时，人们吃12颗葡萄。

根据In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes，可知，在西班牙，当时钟敲响12点时，人们吃12颗葡萄，所以空格处填12 grapes。故答案为12 grapes。

【19】句意：人们认为吃葡萄会给他们带来整年的好运。

根据句子结构，此空处所在句子是一个宾语从句。从句中空格+them作主语，bring作谓语动词，good luck for the whole year作宾语。根据It is believed that if you eat the grapes, you will have good luck for the whole year，可知，人们认为吃葡萄会给他们带来整年的好运，所以空格处填动名词eating。故答案为eating。

【20】句意：当午夜降临时，人们把孩子们或一家之主赶出家门，并要求他们走回来。

根据句子结构，people作主语，children the head of family作宾语，空格处填动词作谓语。根据When midnight falls, children or the head of the family is sent out of the house and told to walk back in“当午夜降临时，孩子们或一家之主被赶出家门，并被告知要走回来”，原句中be sent out of是被动语态，而在此空格处是主动语态send…out of。and表并列关系，and后ask是一般现在时，且主语people是复数形式，所以此空格处填动词原形send。故答案为send。
