Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works．

    The bed is connected to an alarm(闹钟)clock．First，the alarm clock rings．You have a few minutes to wake up．Next，a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music．The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend．She whispered in a soft voice，”Wake tip，darling，please．”A few minutes later， Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss．His boss shouts，”Wake tip at once，or you’ll be late!” If you don’t get Lip after the second recording，a mechanical(机械的) ”foot” in the bed will kick you on the head．The bed waits a few more minutes．What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher．The foot of the bed goes lower and lower．Finally you slide(滑)off the bed and onto the floor．You are out of bed awake!

    Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores．There is only one bed——the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest(比赛)．Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores．Maybe people will buy millions of beds．Then Hiroyuki will be rich．If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich，he won’t need to work，and he won’t need to get up early!

Now you’ve finished three years of English study. There’s one way to demonstrate(展示) what you’ve learned－take a test!
Do you have any special methods(方法) you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your best on test days.
Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and wide-awake for test day.
Have a good breakfast. Test day isn’t a morning for donuts(面包圈). Nor is it a time to starve yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-enegy food to keep your brain and body working their best.
【小题1】     . Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.
【小题2】    . Make sure that the number of the items on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.
【小题3】     . Don’t assume that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.
【小题4】    . Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and check your answers. Don’t spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip(跳读) it and come back to it later.
Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skills you need for taking tests.
