Exam time is the most stressful (最有压力的) period of the year. You've worked all the term on your classes and now it's the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake, it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount or hard work and focus you can pass your tests    1!

When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my examinations. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some     2 and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to panic! Take the middle path---stay calm, eat healthy food and get your rest. Stressing out and _3___yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a stupid, empty one!

So, what do you do? Set aside a time each day for study and a time For __4 . You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep. If you are_ 5  , information will not stick in your memory. Finally, eat healthy food that fuels your body and mind.

It does no good to look at your exams like the rest of your life   6  them. Instead, just view them as another obstacle (障碍物) you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of obstacles in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your examinations with flying colors! High school is right around the corner.

“What a nice    2   ,”said Jennie to herself, as the boy ran out of sight.“It seems like having the sunshine. I wish everybody who goes by would look up    3   smile.”

George, the little boy, told his mother about that    4   girl when he got back home,“She looks so helpless. I wish I could do something for her.”

Opening the door to Jennie’s gentle“Come in”, George said, “I’ve brought you some flowers.”

“Are they for me?”said Jennie    8  .“How kind you are,”she continued, as George put the flowers on her lap.“I’ve    9   received any flower since we moved to the town.”

“Yes,”said Jennie.
