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.

It is easy for us to tell who our family members are, but do plants recognize(識別) their own family? Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.
Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings or strangers.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response(反應(yīng))suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food. Jewelweeds usually grow in the shade, where sunlight is not enough.
When jewelweed seedlings(幼苗)were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they usually would if they were alone – but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.
According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for family recognition. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach – where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the scientists found that when sea rockets were planted with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots.
Dudley says this just because sea rockets, on the beach, get plenty of sun but struggle for water – so when they’re threatened, they compete for water. Jewelweeds have plenty of water but have to compete for sunshine, so they grow more leaves.
小題1: What does the underlined word siblings mean?
A．Flowers come from foreign countries.
B．Plants growing in different environments.
C．Flowers planted with lots of strangers.
D．Plants that are the same kind.
小題2: In the text, the writer mentioned the experiments of Jewelweeds to         .
A．make a comparisonB．introduce a topic
C．describe a pretty flowerD．build a new theory
小題3: According to the passage, flowers planted alone will         .
A．grow more leaves than those planted in groups
B．become taller than those with more branches
C．grow fewer leaves than those planted with strangers
D．become ill easily because they can’t get enough shade
小題4: What can be the best title for the passage?
A．New Discoveries about Plants
B．How Plants Compete with Each Other
C．Family Recognition among Plants
D．Jewelweeds and the Great Lakes Sea Rockets

It’s the end of class.When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their telephones.They want to log on to their micro blogs (登錄到他們的微博) to check the interesting things.They want to see what have happened in the last hour.
Since several years ago, more and more people have used micro blogs in our country.Recent surveys (調(diào)查) shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update (更新) their blogs over five times per day.
“We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Kitty Jiang, 14.“If you do not know about them, you are out of loop.” It is also a great place for students to say something about themselves.“My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really gives me pressure (壓力),” said Alan Wang, 15.“I share these feelings on my micro blog.My friends always give me answers in the same situation.This makes me feel better.”
But parents worry that micro blogging could be a waste of time.Some unhealthy information may even bring danger to kids, they said.
Mr Shen, a professor (教授) asks parents not to worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging.Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children.“If parents can read their children’s micro blogs, they’ll know what they think, they can know more about their children and help them solve their problems,” he said.He also gives some advice for kids.
-Don’t micro blog for more than one hour a day.
-Never micro blog in class.
-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
-Don’t believe all the information on a micro blog.
小題1:According to the passage, what do students log on to their micro blogs to do?
A．check the thingsB．write articles
C．listen to musicD．call their parents
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined part “out of loop” in the passage?
A．not excitedB．unhealthyC．unluckyD．not popular
小題3:From Mr Shen’s words, what do micro blogging do?
A．It makes kids crazy while logging on to it.
B．It will bring a lot of unhealthy information.
C．It becomes a window to understand young kids.
D．It will not solve problems for kids
小題4:Which of the following sentence is true according to the passage?
A．It’s good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.
B．Kids should believe all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful.
C．Many young people have written something on micro blogs since two years ago.
D．Kids should try to talk face to face with people, not just micro blogging.
