Learning to deal with stress is the key to passing any exam. If you feel nervous when taking an exam, take a deep breath(呼吸) and tell yourself to take it easy. Here are five steps to follow:

Show up on time. Arriving late might make you feel rushed and nervous, and arriving too early could give you time to sit there and worry about things.

Don’t waste time. If you see questions you don’t know, don’t spend too much time on them. Remember you have to answer all the questions.

Handwriting. Neat(工整的) and clean handwriting is easier for the examiner(评卷人) to read.

Use up all your time. If you finish the test before the time is up, don’t just sit there. Go back over the questions, especially the ones that seem hard, and check your work.

Move on. Once an exam is over, forget about it. The best thing you can do is to go home and study for the next one.

The boy said nothing but quietly walked 37　 . That evening the father said: “Michael, Come and finish your work now!” But the boy didn’t.

38　 , a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had a terrible 　39 and died. His sad father wrote, “If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my 　40 is hurting.”
