Exams play an imprtant rle in educatin and smetimes it is als the surce f stress fr many students. S it is imprtant fr students t learn hw t deal with stress caused by the exam. Here are sme useful ways.
Befre the exam
 Study in cnditins similar t yur test rm.
There is a phenmenn in psychlgy(心理学现象) called cntext-dependent memry. It refers t the idea that we are best able t remember things in envirnments similar t when the infrmatin was encded(解码). If yu are in a quiet rm during yur exam, try t simulate(模拟) thse cnditins while yu are preparing fr it.
 Manage yur time wisely.
D nt just cram(临时死记硬背) fr an exam at the last minute, because this will surely lead t exam stress. Break up yur study time int chunks ver days, r weeks even. If pssible, try t study at arund the same time f day as yu will be taking the test, because in this way yu will be similarly tired r awake when yu study and when yu take yur test. Yu will get used t hw yu feel when dealing with yur curse material n yur test day.
 Take frequent breaks.
Accrding t psychlgy studies, the average human brain can nly fcus n ne task effectively fr abut 45 minutes. In additin, research in neurscience(神经科学) suggests that fcusing n the same thing fr t lng weakens the brain’s ability t accurately prcess it.
During the exam
 Eat a prper exam day breakfast.
Withut a prper breakfast yur energy levels will quickly crash and may lead t stress and anxiety. Be sure t have a healthy, energy-packed breakfast n exam day. Try eating fds that prvide lng lasting energy, such as eggs r ats. Avid fds that are high in sugar, which will give temprary energy but may cause yu sleepy during the exam.
 Read instructins carefully.
Befre answering any exam questins, figure ut exactly what is expected f yu. Skim the test t see its cntent and give yurself a rugh(粗略的) idea f hw lng each questin will take t cmplete. Ambiguity(不明确) can cause stress, s, by knwing hw lng the test is, yu will reduce yur stress.
 Avid rushing.
Take yur time ging thrugh the exam. If yu get stuck in a questin fr a lng time, instead f getting stressed abut it, keep in mind that it is just ne questin n the exam. If pssible, skip(跳过) that questin and return t it at the end if yu have time. Keep an eye n the clck and give yurself five t ten minutes t g ver yur answers t check fr any mistakes r t guess n any questins that yu initially skipped.
26．Why des the writer advise us t study at arund the same time f day as we will be taking the test?

The Sprt f Cncentratin
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) prmises t help me increase the distance and pace I run, r the number f hurs I sleep, r the rate f my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” r s the stry ges.
Maybe sme f them actually help t d these things, but nnetheless, I still decided t sell all f my sprts gadgets a few mnths ag and simply recrd my running times with a pen and a ntepad. Sn after, I began t train fr a marathn the ld-fashined way, withut smething n my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned ut, running withut knwing all that infrmatin was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slwer than my smartwatch said I shuld be, I’d frce myself t speed up, even if it was clear that my bdy didn’t want t. But this time, I ran the way I wanted t.
On mre than a few ccasins, when I’d lk at my ntepad fllwing key wrkuts (锻炼), I was shcked t see that I’d had sme real breakthrughs (突破), running much faster than I thught I culd. I was s shcked abut these numbers and thught that if I’d seen them during the wrkut itself, I wuld have prbably slwed dwn. Yet, because I was blind t them, I just kept n running.
Anther psitive thing abut getting rid f all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me cncentrate (集中注意力) mre n the running itself. Since I n lnger feel like I need technlgy t run well, I can g ut and run withut wrrying abut whether everything has enugh battery pwer.
S, what’s the lessn here? Well, we culd very easily replace the example f running with writing, studying, r anything else. N matter what it is the mre time we spend wrrying abut hw t make urselves better at smething, the mre ur perfrmance is affected.
Shuld yu stp using technlgy t “imprve” yur perfrmance? Of curse, that’s up t yu. Hwever, if I were t be asked that questin, I’d certainly say that I’m better ff withut it.
31．When did the writer decide t sell all f the sprts gadgets?

Hear Me Rar
Are yu a tiger? Accrding t the Chinese Zdiac (生肖), peple brn in the Year f the Tiger are kind and energetic. That may be true, but thse characteristics are nt generally related t real tigers. While we admire the handsme animals, we als fear them. But there are lessns everyne can learn frm the lives f these amazing cats.
Tigers seldm feed in grups in the wild, but when they d, males allw females and cubs t eat first. In ther wrds, big, strng male(雄性的) tigers wait their turn and think f thers befre themselves. We, t, shuld cnsider the needs f thers befre we act.
Tigers can als teach us hw t be strategic (有策略的). These smart animals study a situatin befre acting. They hardly attack prey (猎物) n sight but will cnsider their strategy several times, if necessary, befre rushing frward.
Tigers g after large prey, s they have big ideas. Despite all their planning, tigers nly end up with a meal nce ut f every 12 attempts (尝试) t catch smething. Yet they d nt give up; they keep trying until they succeed.
Mst kinds f cats avid water, but tigers enjy water and are very capable swimmers. This lve f water allws them t live in many different envirnments including frests, grasslands and mangrve swamps. Learn frm the tiger, and decide fr yurself what yu can and cannt d. Try things that thers cnsider impssible. Explre surprising places.
Tigers’ lve f water als allws them t hunt and fight crcdiles. This kind f animals are extremely difficult t kill. Usually, tigers kill by biting the neck f their prey. But a crcdile’s neck has a thick cat f armr. Tigers are nt put ff by this. Instead, they change their strategy and attack the creature’s weak areas like its stmach r eyes. Like the tiger, dn’t let difficult situatins stp yu frm succeeding. Try mre than ne methd if yur usual strategy isn’t successful.
Tigers are as different as peple are. The fur f every tiger has a unique pattern. S be yurself and shw ff yur stripes. Take a few hints frm the tiger, and let thers hear yu rar this year.

Why d We Celebrate Festivals?
Festivals are celebrated all arund the wrld. Every festival has its different custms. Hwever, n matter hw different they may seem, all ver the wrld, the spirit f sharing jy, thanks, lve, r peace is cmmn in all festivals.
Of all the traditinal festivals, the harvest(丰收) festival can be fund in almst every culture. This imprtant festival takes place after all the crps have been gathered in. Peple celebrate t shw that they are thankful fr the year’s supply f fd. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest seasn. It had a parade and a great large meal with music dancing, and sprts. Tday, in sme Eurpean cuntries, peple decrate twn halls with flwers and fruit, and get tgether t celebrate ver a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather t admire the shining mn and enjy delicius mn cakes.
Custms play an imprtant rle in festivals, but smetimes they can change ver time because f the develpment f mdem sciety and the spread f new ideas. One example is the Chinese Spring Festival custm f lighting firewrks t drive away the evil(恶毒的) spirits and celebrate the new year. Nwadays, many big cities have given up this custm in rder t avid air pllutin. Anther example is Hallween, which slwly became an exciting festival fr children which is far frm its riginal custm.
Festivals are becming mre and mre cmmercial(商业的) with businesses taking advantage f the celebratins. Online shpping websites and scial media apps have made it much easier fr the public t spend mre n gifts fr their lved nes. Althugh sme believe festivals shuld nt be cmmercialized, thers believe the increase in spending is gd fr the ecnmy(经济) and public happiness.
Festivals are an imprtant part f sciety. They shw peple’s wishes, beliefs and attitudes twards life. They allw us t relax and enjy life, and frget abut ur wrk fr a little while. They help us understand where we came frm, wh we are, and what t thank fr. And if yu study festivals carefully, yu may be surprised t find that different cultures actually have a lt in cmmn after all.

Culd what yu believe abut yurself have an effect n yur success r failure? Accrding t Stanfrd psychlgist Carl Dweck, yur beliefs play a key rle in what yu want and whether yu achieve it. Dweck has fund that it is yur mindset that plays an imprtant rle in deciding achievement and success. S, what exactly is a mindset? A mindset is a set f beliefs that shape hw yu make sense f the wrld and yurself. It influences hw yu think, feel, and behave in any given situatin.
Accrding t Dweck, there are tw basic mindsets: fixed and grwth. If yu have a fixed mindset, yu believe yur abilities are fixed and therefre can’t be changed. Yu may als believe that yur talent and intelligence（智商）alne leads t success. And effrt is nt required. If yu have a grwth mindset, yu believe that yur talents and abilities can be develped ver time thrugh effrt and determinatin（决心）. Peple with this mindset dn’t necessarily believe that everyne can becme Einstein r Mzart just because they try. They d, hwever, believe that everyne can get smarter r mre talented if they wrk at it.
Yur mindset plays an imprtant rle in hw yu deal with life’s challenges. When children have a grwth mindset, they hunger fr learning and have a desire t wrk hard and discver new things. This ften translates int achievement in educatin. As adults, these same peple are mre likely t keep ging in the face f difficulties. Instead f giving up, adults with a grwth mindset view it as an pprtunity t learn and grw. On the ther hand, thse with fixed mindsets are mre likely t give up in the face f challenging situatins. Dweck suggests that peple shuld get rid f their fixed mindset. Here’s hw:
● Fcus n the jurney. When building a grwth mindset, it is imprtant t see the value in yur jurney. When yu’re fixated n the end result, yu miss ut n all the things yu culd be learning alng the way.
● Add “yet” t yur life. If yu’re having truble with a task, remind yurself that yu just haven’t mastered it “yet”. Adding this wrd int yur vcabulary shws that in the face f trubles, yu can vercme （克服）anything.
● Pay attentin t yur wrds and thughts. Replace negative thughts with mre psitive nes t build a grwth mindset.
● Take n challenges. Making mistakes is ne f the best ways t learn. S, instead f shying away frm challenges, welcme them.
