  In our 5 life, we need to communicate with one another. We do this 6 by speaking to other people and listening to 7 they have to say to us, and as we are 8 to them we can do this very 9 . However, our voices will not travel very far even when we 10 . It is thanks to the 11 of the telephone that we are 12 able to communicate with each other 13 hold conversations when we are far 14 . We can hear each other clearly 15 we were in the same room.

  The man who 16 this possible was Alexander Graham Bell, a Scotsman. Bell, a teacher of visible speech 17 later moved to Canada, 18 all his spare time experimenting. He was 19 active in his research for a means of sending speech by electricity that he left 20 time for his day-to-day work and at one time was almost penniless.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Many students fail to perform well in an exam not because they lack ability, but because of the unique pressure of the exam room—the tense atmosphere, the ticking clock on the wall, the teacher walking around, and the thought that their future will be decided by the exam.

    It’s not just students who will face pressure. Human beings are competitive animals and we decide to evaluate each other, whether in exams, in job interviews or even on romantic dates, so all of us occasionally get nervous. Removing pressure from life is an impossible dream.

    However, there are some ways which can help reduce our pressure. It turns out that we are far more likely to overcome the pressure when we are as familiar as possible with the situation we are about to face. Of course, even when we are well-prepared, we may still feel nervous, but at least we will be more equipped to deal with our nervousness than if we have failed to prepare. Furthermore, we may also benefit from reminding ourselves that the big moment is not that big after all from a different perspective. Even a huge exam is not as important as a loving family, or good health.
