If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home’’. They think you should set high expectations. But is it really good
Having high expectations could be good. It can motivate you. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably try your best to make them come true. For example, if you believe that you can get an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. Also, when you start meeting your expectations, you’ll set even higher expectations for yourself. Besides, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only do you good. It will make a difference to others.
But if your expectations are too high to realize, it can be bad. Having high expectations can sometimes lead to mind problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect. Great expectations can also let you down. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel down and unsatisfied with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should set your expectations realistically (切合实际地).
It is hard to manage expectations, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable expectation.
4．What do your family and friends want you to do when they say “go big or go home”
A．To cheer others up. B．To go home at once.
C．To set high expectations. D．To spend a lot of time with them.
5．Why were some students under serious stress
A．Their family didn’t support them. B．Their study results were terrible.
C．Their friends didn’t care about them. D．Their expectations are too high to realize.
6．What is the best title for the text
A．Right views on Setting Expectations. B．Valuable Advice on Realizing Expectations.
C．Possible Reasons for Meeting Expectations. D．Serious Problems in Achieving Expectations.

As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Now, she adds, “This is a very common bad study habit. Actually, that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.”
In one 2021 research study, some college students read a text twice. Others read a text just once. Both groups took a test right after the reading. Test results differed little between these groups, researchers found.
Too often, when students reread material, it’s superficial. Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle (谜语), rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know if you understand it.
In one 2022 study, a group of students were asked to reread material to two other groups. One group wrote questions about the material. The other group answered questions from someone else. Later, all the groups took a test on the material. The results showed that those who answered the questions did best; those who just reread the material did worst.
That 2022 study backs up one of Nebel’s preferred study habits. Before big tests, her mom quizzed (测试) her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval practice (回溯练习),” she says. “It’s one of the best ways you can study.” As Nebel got older, she quizzed herself. For example, she might cover up the definitions (定义) in her notebook. Then she tried to recall what each term meant.
“Make a deck of flash cards every time you learn new information,” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side.” Friends can even quiz each other on the phone, she says.
But really grill (追问) yourself and your friends, she adds. And here’s why. She was part of a team that asked students to write one quiz question for each class period. Students would then answer a question from another classmate. The results showed that students did worse on tests afterwards than when the daily quiz questions came from the teacher. Nebel’s team is still analyzing the data. She suspects the students’ questions may have been too simple.
Teachers often dig deeper, she notes. They don’t just ask for definitions. Often, teachers ask students to compare and contrast (对比) ideas. That takes some careful thinking.
7．The 2021study is listed to show ________.
A．reading textbooks is a common study skill
B．Cynthia Nebel was a good learner when she was at school
C．reading textbooks over and over helps to improve memory

A．taking much time and effort B．not being afraid of making mistakes
C．solving problems without much effort D．not studying something carefully or completely.
9．When quizzing yourself or your friends, the best way is to ________.
A．ask for definitions B．retell the questions
C．compare and contrast ideas D．use flash cards to help
10．The article is mainly about ________.
A．the importance of careful thinking B．some practical study skills
C．some common bad study methods D．the role of practice in one’s studies

六、阅读表达 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。
A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.
1．Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea
2．What is the other name of the spotted seal
3．With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters
4．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)
5．As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife
