Ⅰ.[2018·宜昌]阅读理解
Is there an important exam right around the corner? You might be starting to fear, thinking that there’s no way for you to get a good grade because of the little time left to study. This is something all students may worry about. But you should accept the fact that you have to take the exam no matter how much you want to avoid it.
Thankfully, there are several ways to help you get at least a passing grade. You may have a try.
•Get yourself together
This might sound like silly advice, but it’s actually the most important. When you fear, you may lose control over your thoughts and actions. Even if you try to study, perhaps you won’t get anything in your head.
•Enjoy enough sleep
It’s unbelievable many students have little sleep each night. That’s not something to be proud of, especially if you’re sleeping so little and still failing to do all the things. Sleep isn’t for the weak, but for the wise. Your brain needs enough rest. After a good night’s sleep, you’ll perform much better in the morning.
•Don’t fear
Once the test paper is in front of you, don’t be afraid. Take a deep breath and start the exam with confidence(信心). Just like when you were reviewing, put away the problems you’re having difficulty in and come back to them later. If you have time left, go over everything to make sure you haven’t made any careless mistakes.
