How to pass an important test

    Whether it's a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass. Stuck in a situation where you don't know what to do? This article can help. Tips

    ★⒈Once you get the study guide, make plans right away to study as soon as possible. No excuses! Killing time with friends isn't worth it，since you can always hang out with them any other day.

    ★⒉Get plenty of rest.  If you walk into the classroom sleepily, you'll most likely not finish the test because you are so tired.

    ★⒊Eat a good meal for breakfast. Some healthy breakfast suggestions are oatmeal (燕麦片), high fibre food, and grapefruit with the fresh fruit salad.

    ★⒋Bring all necessary materials. Bring pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, snacks (if allowed)，erasers, the calculator (if allowed) and anything else you'll need for the test.

    ★⒌ Showing up late cuts back the time you'll have to take for the test if it's already testing hours. You'll probably miss any important information needed in completing the test. In some tests，late comers are not allowed to take the test.

    This was one of my experiences at work. When I was1, I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the2department.

    The company had a training centre which was just outside London. Different courses were3there throughout the year and I4go on one training course a year. These usually started5a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

    Once I was6a week's training course with about forty7sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 8behind the bar asked me a curious question. "I hope you don't 9my asking," she said, "But I've been 10 about it all week. Have you got a sister11Mary?" The woman's name was June, and she used to do various jobs at the training centre. She worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the centre and she worked in the bar at lunchtime and in the evening.

    My answer12June's question was "Yes", and June said, "I thought 13. I met her last September when she was organizing a course here." At that time, my sister was working for14company but in a different part of the country. That was15she came to be at the training centre.

    16 surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more17. First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training centre. So about one thousand five hundred people had18the centre in those six months. And 19, my sister is married, so she doesn't have the same family name as me.

    We're not 20, but I guess we must look quite like each other.

    Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability(能力）. They feel hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?

    To be sure, people are different. You cannot to do everything as well as certain other people do. All the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.

    Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.

    It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can't fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something. to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

    Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

    Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain's temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

    Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家） begins, how he manages to keep going- in fact, how and when he learns his trade - all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery (神秘）.

    One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感） plays in a composer's work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.

    The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: "Do I feel inspired?" He says to himself. "Do I feel like working today?" And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: "Do I feel sleepy?" if you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don't feel sleepy you stay up. If the composer doesn't feel like working, he doesn't work. It's as simple as that.

    When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.

    There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.

    In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites(套房), which include two or more rooms connected together—perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.

    I like riding my bike. Though it is not very new, but it is my best friend. I find very convenient to go anywhere with a bike. Ride gives me not only exercise but also pleasure. I use my bike mostly on summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and rain is pouring down. It can also be very danger. Of course I will be very careful on my bike. In facts, accidents are not the only problem. One day I went to school and come back to find his front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the repairer's shop. Now I have two strong locks.
