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（減少）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.

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】

本文講述了三個小故事：1.一些人通過畫蛇的方法來決定誰喝最后一壺酒，先畫完的那個人看到別人還沒畫完，就決定給蛇加上了腳，最后反而輸了比賽。2.介紹如何減壓的方法。3.文中介紹了不同國家慶祝新年前夕的不同習俗。

【1】句意：最后只剩一壺酒了。

根據(jù)前文One day a rich man invited his friends to a party and they drank a lot of wine“一天一個有錢人邀請他的朋友來參加一個派對，他們喝了許多酒”及此句中的only a pot of wine，可知，他們在派對上喝了許多酒，最后只剩一壺酒了，所以空格處填過去分詞left作后置定語。故答案為left。

【2】句意：先畫完蛇的那個人可以喝這壺酒，所以他們開始畫。

根據(jù)句子結構，空格處所在句子是一個定語從句，而空格處是修飾從句中動詞finish，所以空格處用副詞。根據(jù)下文I am the winner. I will get the wine，可知，先畫完贏了的那個人可以喝最后一壺酒，所以空格處填first。故答案為first。

【3】句意：他們其中一個人很快地畫完了。

根據(jù)句子結構，空格處是修飾動詞draw，所以空格處用副詞。根據(jù)后文after he finished, he saw others were still busy drawing“他畫完后，看到其他人仍在忙著畫畫”，可知，其中一個人很快地畫完了蛇，所以空格處填副詞quickly。故答案為quickly。

【4】句意：他完成后，他看到其他人仍在忙著畫畫。

固定搭配be busy doing sth“忙于做某事”，所以空格處填動名詞作賓語。根據(jù)上文so they began drawing及one of them drew finished，可知，所有人都開始畫畫，其中一個人很快地畫完了，而其他人還在忙著畫畫，所以空格處填drawing。故答案為drawing。

【5】句意：所以他給蛇加上了腳。

根據(jù)后文However, before he could finish the feet“然而，在他畫完蛇腳之前”，可知，他又給蛇加上了腳，后文的feet是復數(shù)形式，所以此空處也填feet。故答案為feet。

【6】句意：然而，在他畫完蛇腳之前，另一個人也完成了畫畫。

根據(jù)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“他拿走了這壺酒并說。誰曾看過一只有腳的蛇。蛇沒有腳，所以你的畫并不是一條蛇。我是獲勝者”，可知，在這個人畫蛇腳的過程中，另一個人也完成了畫畫。the other和another都表示“另一個”，the other用于兩者之間，another用于不確定的人數(shù)，原文第一句his friends是不確定數(shù)量的，所以空格處填不定代詞another。故答案為another。

【7】句意：他拿走了這壺酒并說�！罢l曾看過一只有腳的蛇。蛇沒有腳，所以你的畫并不是一條蛇。我是獲勝者�！�

the是定冠詞，后接名詞。根據(jù)前文The person who finished the painting of a snake first could drink the wine及I will get the wine，可知，之前這些人約定誰先畫完一條蛇，誰就可以喝最后的這壺酒，這個人畫完了蛇，成為了獲勝者，可以得到這壺酒，所以空格處填名詞winner。故答案為winner。

【8】句意：說完這些話，他就離開了。

根據(jù)句子結構，he是主語，所以空格處填動詞作謂語。根據(jù)前文I am the winner. I will get the wine以及所給的選詞，可知，這個人獲勝了并得到了最后一壺酒，接著就帶這壺酒離開了，表述過去發(fā)生的事情，句子用一般過去時，所以空格處填went away。故答案為went away。

【9】根據(jù)not excited, nervous or upset“不要興奮，不要緊張或不心煩”，可知，意味著“冷靜”，所以空格處填calm。故答案為calm。

【10】根據(jù)the act of listening to, looking at or thinking about sth./sb. carefully“仔細聽，看或思考的行為”，意味著“注意/留心”，所以空格處填attention。故答案為attention。

【11】原句表示“你最好盡可能少吃垃圾食品”，as…as possible=as…as sb can（盡可能……），其中sb應與句中的主語you保持一致，所以空格處填you。故答案為you。

【12】原句表示“你最好盡可能少吃垃圾食品”，as…as possible=as…as sb can（盡可能……），所以空格處填can。故答案為can。

【13】根據(jù)Overwork is one of the main reasons why so many students feel tired and stressed，可知，過度工作是導致如此多的學生感到疲憊和有壓力的主要原因之一，所以空格處填Overwork is one of the main reasons。故答案為Overwork is one of the main reasons。

【14】根據(jù)Getting enough sleep will help you to keep your body and mind in the best form，可知，獲得充足的睡眠可以幫助你保持身體和精神在最佳狀態(tài)，所以空格處填Getting enough sleep。故答案為Getting enough sleep。

【15】根據(jù)reducing some of the jobs you do each day“減少每天做的一些工作”；get a good night’s sleep“獲得一晚良好的睡眠”；eat healthy“吃健康的食物”；getting to know pleasant people“結實令人愉快的人”；learn to keep clam when you face problems“當你遇到問題時，學會保持冷靜”，可知，本文共提到了5種減壓的方法，所以空格處填Five ways。故答案為Five ways。

【16】句意：慶祝新年前夕的不同習俗。

此空格處所在句子是本文的標題，概括歸納本文的大意。根據(jù)In England, we usually have a party with our friends and family“在英國，我們通常與朋友和家人聚會”，In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes“在日本，當時鐘敲響12點時，人們吃12顆葡萄”以及In Greece, lots of children get money for the New Year“在希臘，許多孩子可以得到壓歲錢”，可知，本文主要講的是不同國家慶祝新年前夕的不同習俗。動詞不定式是作空格處的定語，空格處表示“慶祝新年前夕的不同習俗”，文中介紹的是三個國家的習俗，所以空格處填復數(shù)形式customs。故答案為customs。

【17】句意：他們也制定新年計劃。

根據(jù)We make New Year’s resolutions, too，可知，英國人也制定新年計劃。空格處所在句子是一個肯定句，且空格位于實義動詞make前，所以用also表示“也”，所以空格處填also。故答案為also。

【18】句意：當時鐘敲響12點時，人們吃12顆葡萄。

根據(jù)In Spain, when the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes，可知，在西班牙，當時鐘敲響12點時，人們吃12顆葡萄，所以空格處填12 grapes。故答案為12 grapes。

【19】句意：人們認為吃葡萄會給他們帶來整年的好運。

根據(jù)句子結構，此空處所在句子是一個賓語從句。從句中空格+them作主語，bring作謂語動詞，good luck for the whole year作賓語。根據(jù)It is believed that if you eat the grapes, you will have good luck for the whole year，可知，人們認為吃葡萄會給他們帶來整年的好運，所以空格處填動名詞eating。故答案為eating。

【20】句意：當午夜降臨時，人們把孩子們或一家之主趕出家門，并要求他們走回來。

根據(jù)句子結構，people作主語，children the head of family作賓語，空格處填動詞作謂語。根據(jù)When midnight falls, children or the head of the family is sent out of the house and told to walk back in“當午夜降臨時，孩子們或一家之主被趕出家門，并被告知要走回來”，原句中be sent out of是被動語態(tài)，而在此空格處是主動語態(tài)send…out of。and表并列關系，and后ask是一般現(xiàn)在時，且主語people是復數(shù)形式，所以此空格處填動詞原形send。故答案為send。
