9．What do you think of open-book exams？Do you have anything to say about this kind of exam？Here are several opinions about open-book exams from some students and their teacher．

We students have so many burdens （负担） in our school life．Maybe the examination is the greatest one．Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter，I think．At least it means that we need not learn so many things by heart any more．

Open-book exams do not mean students do not need to recite （背） the textbooks any more．Instead，it shows how much students really understand about the textbook．It may mean we need to spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book exam means going deeply into the textbooks．

We need a long time to learn for history and politics exams because there are so many things to remember．And sometimes the results are not very good，even if we have spent a long time studying．But if we are able to take textbooks into our exams，we will save time and we won't have so many headaches．

Tang （teacher）：

Open-book tests are harder for students because the tests make them feel they do not need to understand the textbooks any longer．They only depend on the textbooks and spend most of their time looking for answers during exams．Sometimes they might not even be able to finish their tests because they have wasted too much time looking for answers．

5．初三年级学生李雷近来十分焦虑．体育测试即将到来，而他却由于雾霾（haze weather）频频来袭无法进行户外体育锻炼．他写信给好友Jack寻求帮助．假如你是Jack，请给他写一封信，从锻炼的时间、地点及日常饮食等方面提一些建议，使他保持良好的身体状况．

2．不得使用真实的人名和校名等信息；
3．词数80词左右；
4．开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数．

Dear Li Lei，
I've known about your worries．Here is some advice for you．
Firstly，when haze weather happens/comes，it's better not to do exercise outdoor．If you need to exercise，you can choose indoor activities．
Secondly，haze often gets thinner after the sun shines．So the time from 10 a．m．to 4 p．m．is a good time to exercise．You can do some outdoor sports during this time because haze is not so serious．
Last but not least，improving health is also important．Live a happy life，like eating more fruit and vegetables，and you will have more energy to fight against haze．
I hope my advice can help you．
Yours，
Jack．

3．A peaceful mind is very important for our effectiveness （效率）．It keeps us calm no matter what the situation is，and it allows us to stay happy during the day．So，here，I would like to share some ways to have a"mind like water"，a state of mind that is as peaceful as calm water．Pick the ones that work for you：
◆Listen to your heart
　Your heart tells you what is the right thing to do．It is where your deepest values live．Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself，and that helps you get a peaceful mind．So learn to listen more to your heart，and do what it tells you to do．
◆Don't take in too much information
Getting more information often means introducing more noise into your mind．That's why limiting（限制） your information intake is important for a calm and peaceful mind．You should take in no more information than necessary．
◆Slow down
Whatever you do，you do not need to be in a hurry．Doing so will only take you faster in the wrong direction．First of all，you need to know the right direction to go．Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart．
◆Don't think too much about yourself and try to think something for other people
We usually think about our own needs and problems most of the time．But self-centered thoughts can't bring peace into our mind．Instead，it may make us feel stressed．So don't think too much about yourself，forget yourself for a while．Think about other people more often and think what you can do for others，then do it．Giving will make you happy and give you peace of mind．
