Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?

Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills---- how to work when you are in the exam.

Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then!

If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying , then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”

Take a short rest during your time of work and revision(复习). If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”----thinking that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

1.Why are the students afraid of exams according to the passage?

A. Because they are afraid of failing.

B. Because they want to get full marks.

C. Because exams are usually hard.

D. Because their teachers will be angry if they fail exams.

2.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam.

B. Start planning and working for each exam early

C. If you don’t know how to work for an exam, ask the teacher about it.

D. You shouldn’t sleep well before the exam.

3. According to the passage, if you feel bad, you’d better _______.

A. take a short rest

B. tell someone about your worries

C. walk or get exercise

D. keep busy working and forget your worries

4.The writer of the passage may be a ______.

A. student　　 B. teacher　　　　　 C. reporter　　　　 D. Doctor

任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空限填一词。(本大题共5分，每小题1分)

Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses?

Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be “Yes”.

In fact, things at present are like this：Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some places. And most of the time, we still have to spend some money getting into the Internet.

Here is a piece of good news. A rich organization in the USA called MDIF has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to each person on Earth.

This is because they have found out that only 60% people around the world are able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are not able to offer people something necessary to get into the web. Luckily, we may use free Wi-Fi at any place in the near future.

阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。
