Do you sweat, chew your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out a test? A lot of people get upset when it’s time to take a test. 1 In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing for you.
Here are some tips for taking tests:
● 2 It sounds like a no-brainer(不用动脑的事), but if you’re sure of the information, you’ll have less reason to be worried.
●Get enough sleep the night before the test. 3 In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
● 4 Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete.This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each part and ask the teacher any questions.If something seems unclear before you start, don’t worry:ask.
●Relax. 5 Of course you can’t get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(扭动)your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some calm place.
These tips should help most people, but some can get serious test-taking error.If you’re one of them, you may need to talk to a parent or teacher for help.
A.Read the test through first.
B.Be sure you’ve studied properly.
C.Focus on dealing with each question personally.
D.It’s natural to feel some stress about taking tests.
E.Your memory will be much better if you’ve had enough rest.
F.As the teacher hands out the test, be sure you know what’s expected of you.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that the villagers? sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.
63. The purpose that the writer wrote this article for is ____ .
A. to tell people that trees are very useful to man
B. to warn people not to cut down trees any more
C. to warn that man mustn't destroy forests any more
D. to explain how trees help to prevent drought and floods
64. In the writer's opinion, ____ , or the forests slowly disappear.
A. measure must be taken B. people shouldn't draw benefit from the tree
C. government must realize the serious results D. unless trees never be cut down
65. According to the article we know it is ____ to prevent the forests from slowly disappearing.
A. necessary but impossible B. necessary but difficult
C. impossible and unimportant D. difficult and impossible
66. In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that ____ .
A. where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor
B. where there are many trees, there are fewer floods
C. where there are no trees, the land might become desert slowly
D. floods will make the land become desert
