In today’s world, students are busier than ever. With heavy schoolwork, after-school activities, and sometimes
even part-time jobs, many teenagers feel like they are running out of time. However, we need to take time off orhave breaks from our busy lives.
First, time off helps improve our mental (心理的) health. Think about the last time you studied for hours
without a break. Your mind probably felt tired, and it was hard to focus. Scientists say that our brains (大脑) need
rest to work well. When we take time off, we can relax and clear our minds. For example, going for a walk in nature,
listening to music, or talking with friends can all help us feel better.
Second, time off can boost creativity. When we walk away from our homework, we open ourselves up to
new experiences and ideas. Many great inventions and works of art came from people who took time away from
their daily jobs to find new things. Even if we are not artists or inventors, taking time off can help us find better
ways in our studies.
Some students might say, “I’m too busy to take a break. I have too much homework!” But in fact, taking
short breaks can make us more productive (有效的) . A study showed that students who took regular (有规律的)
breaks while studying remembered more information than those who kept studying. After breaks, we can finish our
work faster and with fewer mistakes. That’s because our minds need time off to grow and develop.
Time off is important for building relationships. Spending time with family and friends during breaks allows
us to communicate and share experiences. These moments create memories that last a lifetime. For example, having
dinner with your family or playing games with your friends can strengthen your relationships and make you feel
loved and supported.
In conclusion, time off is important for our well-being, creativity, productivity, and relationships. As students,
we should make sure that we have certain time for relaxation and fun. Remember, a well-rested mind is a happy and
successful mind. So, next time you feel tired after a day’s work, take a deep breath, walk away from your tasks, and
enjoy some time off!
28． What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Reduce B．Harm C．Increase
29．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A．Students are too busy to take breaks.
B．Taking breaks can make students more productive.
C．Students should study continuously to remember more.
30． Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．How to study better
B．The importance of time off
C．Ways to build relationships第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

newspaper in Guangzhou to share their opinions. The following is what they said in the interview.

class every day.
