For us students who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they

are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

How to get through exams? Here are some①________ （建议）：

Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam.

Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.

Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.

Get enough sleep, and eat ②________ （健康）food.

You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sports-whatever you enjoy.

Stop thinking about the future and failing.

If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed!③Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. ④ 你不能改变你已经写的东西！

To this advice, we could add:

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be“going round and round”-thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

1.Why do some students hate exams?

________

2.在①处和②处填上恰当的单词。

①________            ②________

3.将文中划线的句子③译成汉语。

________

4.将短文中划线的句子④译成英语。（每空0.5分，共2分）

You ________ ________ what you ________  ________ .

5.请给短文拟一个适当的标题。（2分）

Sydney Fredette has a lot of things to deal with. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.

＂I love making relationships with the people I serve,＂ Fredette said. ＂The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it’s so cool.＂

Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.

Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a ＂Dreamer & Doer＂ not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.
