Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents’ house. On each visit, their grandpa would give them a few coins. Then all the children would run off to buy sweets. One day, he gathered the children together. He said, “Let’s have a competition to see who can manage money wisely. At the end of this year, tell me how you’ve used your money.”

Ruben and Nico, the two smallest kids, continued spending their money all on sweets. Every time, they would show off their sweets in front of the other children. This made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer keep saving their money. They soon joined Ruben and Nico.

Monty was a clever boy. He decided to manage his money by buying and selling things. Soon he made a lot of money with little effort. The way he was going, he would end up almost a rich man. However, he began to spend his money on more and more expensive things for himself. A few months later, he hadn’t a single penny(便士) left.

Alex saved and saved all the coins he was given, and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone. He was the clear winner.

There was also Julia. Poor Julia hadn’t a penny on the day of the competition. She had spent all her coins on her secret plan. Julia knew a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins for his violin lessons. Although it wasn’t much money, on seeing Julia’s excitement, the violinist agreed. A little after a year the violinist loaned her a violin so they two could play together in the park. They were so successful that she managed to buy her own violin. Even better, she later became a very famous violinist.

36．Why did the children’s grandpa suggest the competition to them?

C．To tell them money was important to them.

D．To know who was the cleverest child in the family.

So, it’s exam time again. Have you done the necessary work to get good marks? Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow (枕头) doesn’t work. The best way is to space your practice out, rather than cram (塞) it all together. Just as a scientist called Tom Stafford advises, if you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you’ll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.

________ Get pens and paper and start working! Students who can test themselves earlier will be better at retrieving the knowledge from the memory and keep it in the long run. John Dunlosky, a professor in the US, suggests that “you start by reading a textbook with your favorite pens and colors, and then write down the important ideas on small cards while doing so, you actually try to test yourselves on them.”

Good revision (复习) should give you confidence, but if you are still worried, it’s not harmful to follow some special customs. In Japan it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a bowl of rice with egg and pork pieces. The name of the dish makes people think of the word “Katsu”, meaning “winning”. For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam, because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their heads. And in different parts of the world, there are always those who believe in their “lucky underwear”.

The bottom line is that you need to study, eat a good meal, sleep well on the eve of the test, and believe that your efforts will pay off.

Good luck in your exam!

41．When you “space your practice out”, you ________.

A．spend 5 hours preparing for a test

B．study for at least 5 hours on one day

C．sleep with your textbook under the pillow

D．organize 5 hours of study into one hour a day

42．The underlined word “retrieving” would probably mean ________.

A．getting back B．filling in C．giving away D．leaving out

43．Which sentence can be best put in ________ in paragraph 2?

A．Don’t read your textbooks early.

B．Don’t depend on memory alone.

C．Don’t test yourselves very often.

D．Don’t worry about tests too much.

44．Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3?

A．Special customs will truly bring good luck to people in Japan.

B．The word “Katsudon” sounds similar to “winning” in South Korea.

C．Some people might wear special underwear before important events.

D．In some countries, washing hair brings bad luck after having exams.

45．What does the writer advise students to do before tests?

A．Do more exercise and take it easy.

B．Choose your favorite pens and stay up late.

C．Prepare your exams well and be confident.

D．Follow some customs and enjoy yourselves.

The hero in my heart is called Li Lanjuan. She is a doctor from Zhejiang. The reason I like her is that she, as well as her team, saved a lot of patients during the pandemic. She is not only brave in the face of the virus but also very professional. After taking her advice, thousands of people were saved.

Maybe I cannot be a doctor like her but I will try my best to contribute to human society.
