Test-taking Tips

It’s natural to feel some stress about taking tests. In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing. Here are some tips:

【1】 .

Your memory recall will be much better if you’ve had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.

Read the test through first.

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 you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions. 【2】 .

Focus on addressing each question individually.

As you take the test, if you don’t know an answer, don’t obsess(缠住) over it. 【3】 . Come back to it after you’ve answered other questions.

Relax.

【4】 . Of course you can’t get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(摇摆) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm place.

Finished already?

Although most teachers will let you hand a test in early, it’s usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work. 【5】 . On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you’re still writing, wind up whatever you’re working on without panicking.

A. Instead skip over question

B. Listen closely to any instructions

C. Get enough sleep the night before the test

D. But some can get serious test-taking terror

E. If something seems unclear before you start, don’t panic: ask

F. If you’re so nervous that you blank out, you might need a mini-break

G. You also can add details that you may not have thought you’d have time for

【题目】Good news for giant panda lovers: The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from “endangered” to vulnerable as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii.

The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1,864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014 their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014.

Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the driving force behind the animal’s resurgence.

“It’s all about restoring the habitats,” Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the IUCN Red List, told the BBC.

The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

“Just by restoring the panda’s habitat, that’s given them back their space and made food available to them,” Hilton-Taylor said.

A loss of habitats, on the contrary, was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1,200 in the 1980s, Hilton-Taylor added.

Apart from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animal’s numbers dwindled severely dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65,000-72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s due to commercial poaching. Rigorous(严格的) protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.

Despite the improved statuses, wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda’s bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which would reverse the species recent gains.

【1】What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. dangerous and threatened.B. safe and sound.

C. weak and easily hurt.D. normal and common.

【2】Which of the following can account for pandas’ living improvement?

A. Better climate.B. More built reserves.

C. Well restored habitats.D. Aroused public awareness.

【3】The passage is written in order to ________.

A. convinceB. informC. argueD advocate

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

A. The climate will influence the threatened species.

B. Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply.

C. Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food.

D. We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species.

Ways to Take Control of Your Time

Take control of your time. Happy people feel in control of their time, which helps to set goals and break them into daily aims. Heres how.

Make a to-do list every day.

Put the most important tasks at the top, even if they’re things you’re dreading(恐惧). 【1】

Include things you want to do on your list too, so you have items you’re looking forward to. Try motivating yourself with a reward if you get to everything on your list.

Create a particular study time.

Set up a time devoted only to studying or homework. 【2】 Don’t check email or surf the Web (except when you need to for the work you’re doing) during this time either.

Budget your time.

Figure out how much time you usually spend on your activities and then create a weekly schedule to follow. 【3】 And don’t forget to schedule time to relax.

Don’t get switched.

If you find yourself wasting time on unimportant things, stop, check your to-do list and get back to what’s at the top. 【4】 If that’s the problem, check with your teacher to clear things up so you can get moving.

【5】

That way, if you find yourself with extra time—while on the train or bus or waiting for an appointment—you can get something done.

A. Don’t be afraid to say no.

B. Keep your work with you.

C. Make sure to deal with them first.

D. Instead, find a time that works for both of you.
