“Do you want to come with me?” Sally asked her brother. “I’m going to meet some friends at the bike course（赛道，路线）down the block. We’re going to practice for the race next week.”
“No, thanks,” Mark replied. “Sam’s coming over to play basketball.”
Sally rode off on her bike while Mark waited for his friend. Mark was fast, 35 he usually did well in most sports. He didn’t think it would 36 if he practiced the course. It could be hilly or sandy, and Mark knew he would 37 speed along.
The race day finally arrived. “My stomach feels like I ate some butterflies,” Sally told Mark when she saw so many kids around. Then they 38 the other riders at the start line.
“Sally is always nervous,” Mark thought. “Don’t worry. 39 will do fine,” he said. As soon as the starter shouted “Go!”, Mark’s legs pumped up and down like two machines. He moved 40 to the front.
A few minutes later, there wasn’t anyone ahead of him! Mark raced along the course. He rode past some pine trees. Then the path looped(环绕)around a pond. Mark was surprised that the course was so 41 .
His tired legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. All at once, a flash of color caught his eyes. There was a line of bike riders on the course ahead of him! “How could this be?” Mark said to himself. “I must have taken a wrong 42 and made one more loop in the course,” he thought.
Mark pushed his achy muscles(肌肉)harder. He realized his 43 alone wouldn’t be enough this time; 44 the course was just as important. He managed to ride past a couple of bike riders, but he couldn’t 45 the riders who were in the lead.
After the race Mark saw his sister. “Wow, you must have done a good job in the race. What place did you get?” Mark asked.
“Third place!” Sally answered excitedly.
“That’s great! I came in ninth place. But I’ll do better next year because I’ll be 46 enough to practice the course with you,” Mark made a face at his sister and replied.

查看习题详情和答案>>Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I’m not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?
Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills—how to work when you are in the exam. Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then.
If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you’re studying, then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”
Take a short rest during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it won’t remember well. Work at the time when you know you’ll work at your best.
If you’re studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.
If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
