Some Facebook users are able to order food and buy tickets on the social media site. The new service was launched in the United States. Facebook designed it as a new way of building bridges between its users and commercial organizations where they live.

This idea is not new. There are many smart phone applications that already let users search, order and buy many different products and services. But Facebook’s service is a little different. It lets users share information about their favorite places and things with family and friends. Facebook says its new tool makes it easier for users to organize their friends’ favorite places and things in one place.

When users write Facebook posts seeking advice on local places or services, they can choose whether or not to turn on the new feature called Recommendations. If a user turns this on, Facebook friends can then comment on those posts and give suggestions. It also allows users to order food and buy tickets. Users can also go directly to a Recommendations bookmark on Facebook to ask a new question or to offer help to their friends. The new service lets people order food directly from the Facebook pages of some restaurants. Users can also purchase tickets to movies, music events or other activities. They can also make appointments for personal services, such as getting a haircut.

Facebook is testing the service in the United States. It plans to offer it to international users in the future.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Being successful in an exam is not just about studying hard and knowing the subject inside out. 1

Research has shown that the calmer the mind, the better its ability to register and remember information. 2 When the mind is relaxed, it is in the "state of alpha", where your brain waves are at about seven to fourteen cycles per second, the most helpful state for studying.

Choose a quiet place for studying and have everything handy that you need: books, pens, something to drink. 3 In this case, you can see yourself being congratulated by your family, friends and teachers. Enjoy the experience. And now you should be completely charged up and ready to absorb and keep important information.

4 It is a good idea to make a list of all the important things you have to learn, in order of importance, and estimate how much time you need for each one. Add it all up and compare this with how much time you have available. This will tell you if you have time to read slowly and carefully, or if you can only skim; also it will show you how many times you can afford to look over the same information.

Because stress can have a negative effect on your memory, it’s important to stay calm during tests. 5 Breathing exercises during the examination, for example, can be extremely effective in helping you relax and reverse your stress response: just take deep breaths, and let the stress coe out when you exhale(呼气).

A. Learn to both read between lines and skim.

B. Ensure that you sleep and eat well before a test.

C. Relax your body and mind and imagine the day of the results.

D. There are some stress relief techniques that can help to calm you down.

E. There are other things that you can do to help ensure you get good grades.

F. Every time you sit down to study, give yourself five minutes to calm your mind.

G. Depending on what you want to study, and how much you have to cover, plan your time.
