It might surprise you that Tejana music did not start either in Texas or in Mexico，but in Europe.It all began with the polka.This was a folk dance from Bohemia.It was for young lovers，and so was very lively.It was made up of a hop and three short steps，and the music that went with it had a marked beat.The polka appeared in Paris in about 1843，and immediately became a great success.It quickly spread throughout Europe.Eventually even serious musicians such as Smetana and Dvorak used its beats in their work.It traveled east to the Russian court at St.Petersburg，and as far west as the new world.German introduced the polka and its music to Texas，where once again it became a huge popular success.
    It was there on the US-Mexican border that local musicians started to mix the European polka with Mexican mariachi music.Mariachi music was traditionally played at weddings in Mexico，and it is possible that that is how it got its name.Mariachi might well be a Spanish version of the French word for marriage.Soon the pleasant European accordions （手風(fēng)琴） mixed with the Mexican bass guitar to produce a completely new and very unusual type of music.This music acquired two different names： "Tejana" in the United States and "Nortena" in Mexico.
    For decades Tejana music did not go beyond the dance halls and popular gatherings of it birthplace.It was not until about seventy years after its appearance that Tejana music began to spread widely.Then a young Mexican-American singer， "Selena"，made it popular throughout the United States，and in other countries too.
    In the hundred years since its birth Tejana music has suffered great changes.The accordion still there，but the electric guitar has replaced the Mexican bass.The latest Tejana/Nortena hits more elements of US country and western and rock，as well as Colombian cumbia.The unique musical form that began with a European folk dance continues to develop and grow in popularity.

1．American children aren't the only couch potatoes out there.Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers，according to a study of over 70，000 teens in 34 nations.
   From Argentina to Zambia，Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren't getting enough exercise. "In terms of physical activity levels，we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries，" Guthold told Reuters Health. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."
   The study，published in The Journal of Pediatrics，looked at 72，845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa，North and South America，Asia，Europe，and the Middle East.
   The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games，or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were considered assedentary .The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise bythese definitions .A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn't get enough exercise.
   Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary，with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary.
   Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys，at 42 percent，while Zambia had the lowest，at 8 percent.Girls from India were the most active，with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions，while girls from Egypt were the least active，with just 4 percent getting enough exercise.
   While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations，Guthold guessed that urbanization （城市化） could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs.She said schools can help children become more active by having physical education classes and educating students about the importance of exercise.

（1）What does the underlined word "sedentary" in paragraph 4 mean？

A．Addicted.
B．Flexible.
C．Inactive.
D．Unhealthy.
（2）What can we know from the study？

A．Boys from Uruguay were the most active.
B．Most girls from India got enough exercise.
C．Children in Europe get more physical activity.
D．Boys are more active than girls in every country.
（3）How does the writer present the findings of the study？

A．By using quotations and taking examples.
B．By listing figures and making comparisons.
C．By asking questions and providing answers.
D．By presenting facts and drawing conclusions.
（4）Which of the following factors probably lead to children's lack of physical activity？

A．Computers and potatoes.
B．Computers and urbanization.
C．Urbanization and physical education.
D．Physical education and homework.

2．How good are you at maths？Some people love the challenge of algebra（代數(shù)）or enjoy working out number puzzles.Maths is all around us，from working out how to share the bill after a meal，to calculating your family bills.But many are afraid of the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion.It can seem frightening，but this maths anxiety is perfectly normal，and you're definitely not alone.And anyway，our worries and fears don't necessarily reflect our ability.
   The problem really starts in childhood，at school.Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils，and girls may be more likely to be affected.The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15—and 16—year—olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems，33% said they got tense doing maths homework，and nearly 60% said they worried that maths classes would be difficult.Shulamit Kahn，a professor from Boston University，believes that giving students，particularly girls，good role models is critical，especially at a young age.She thinks the key is to get people，especially women who love maths，to teach younger children
   Writing for the BBC，David Robson says， "It's not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography.But the fact that there's no room for playing tricks might make you more worried about underperforming." And once we assume that we're not a maths person，we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
   Psychologists have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic（心算）can bring us out in a sweat.That seed of fear may come from many sources，but some suggest that voicing your fears can loosen their control over you.They also suggest encouraging children to see a maths test as a challenge，not a threat.Most importantly，we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.

（1）What is the author's understanding of maths anxiety in paragraph 1？

A．It happens when you have to pay bills after a meal.
B．It actually reflects one's poor performance in maths.
C．Only students often suffer from this sense of worry.
D．People normally have it when dealing with numbers.
（2）What may cause students' maths anxiety according to the research？

A．The particular feature of maths.
B．The fear of failure in maths tests.
C．Students' dislike of learning maths.
D．Maths teachers' lack of confidence.
（3）What can we infer from David Robson's words？

A．Geography seldom causes worry.
B．Slow students have maths anxiety.
C．Dishonesty is difficult in maths tests.
D．Maths students like number puzzles.
（4）What is the best way to get over maths anxiety？

A．Speaking out your fears in public.
B．Employing female maths teachers.
C．Having a positive attitude to maths.
D．Viewing maths tests as a challenge.

3．As the concept of emotional intelligence （EI） has gone global，we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders，we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths，it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve，and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
   The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception （how you see yourself） differs from your reputation （how others see you）；（1）

.For example，most of us think that we're good listeners，but very often that's really not the case.Without this external reality check，it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
   To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation，you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI；（2）

.Secondly，when you get your feedback from an assessment，let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence，（3）

.Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
   That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations；（4）

as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
   Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on，identify specific actions that you'll take.If you're working on becoming a better listener，for example，you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause，listen to what they have to say，and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific；（5）

.
   By starting to change your routine reactions，you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new，improved ones that do.

A.you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be
B.bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
C.you should also lake every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing，no matter how small
D.understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
AB.the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
AC.how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
AD.this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions
