Exam time is the most stressful period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it's the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests easily.

    When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path -- stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!

    So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel （给……加油）your body and mind.

    It is bad to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That's not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in you life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!

    Tom and Tim are twins(双胞胎). They are four years old. It's very difficult for people to tell(辨别) who is Tom and who is Tim.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}The two boys like to jump, draw pictures and play ball games.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}But they don't like to take a shower(淋浴).

    Today, Tom and Tim come back from outside(外面).{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.After twenty minutes, Tom goes out.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Their mother takes Tim into the bathroom(浴室). But the boy doesn't want to go in.

    "No! No! Mom, I'm Tom.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}”

    "Shut up(闭嘴)! I know you are Tim.”

    At that time, the boy out of the bathroom is so happy, because he doesn't need to take a shower today.

    Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children's safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign(NSKC) founds that nearly half of the injury-related(与受伤相关的) deaths among children happened in summer.

    Experts are not surprised by the study's results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of the school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. “While we encourage children to be active and spend more time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety,” said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.

    To help children say safe, the NSKC started a “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” campaign during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:

    Always wear your seat belt.

    Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.

    Wear a life jacket when on a boat or doing water sports.

    Obey all traffic rules.

    When we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots. ⑴Some robots are very human-like. ⑵它们能像人一样走路和跳舞。Some scientists think that in the future they will make robots more like humans. However, some scientists think although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that ⑶robots will never be able to wake up and Know where they are. ⑷但是许多科学家不赞同怀特先生。They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. ⑸We never know what will happen in the future.
