For most students, the time before exams is very stressful and difficult. If exams really make you anxious or worried, you don't need to hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it.
How to get through an important test? Here is some advice.
Ask a teacher about how to review the lessons and improve testing skills.
If your mind is tired, it will not work well.
Get enough sleep and eat healthy food. Have a positive attitude: Don't be afraid of exams.
Stop thinking about the future and failure.
If you feel anxious, you can talk to someone about your feelings. Some stress before exams makes you work hard for them.
If it upsets you to talk to your friends about the exam when it finished, don't do it! In fact, do not even think about the exam you have finished.
If you study in the evening, you'd better not go straight to bed. Your mind will still be "going round and round"—thinking too much. Do something that makes you relaxed and think about other things.
Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Here, we look at two examples
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.
A. It can even help sick people get better. B Music helps people solve some hearing problems. C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin. E Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. G. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. |
Long before I could read myself, Mum read stories to me every night. Those bedtime stories made me a reader.
Many years later, I read a picture book to a small child in a classroom. He was from a poor family and had no friends. My reading made him very happy. Then he wanted to start something big. He said to me, "Mrs. Allyn, let's make everyone know how good this feels. Let's have a holiday for reading stories. " Then my company, Litworld, started World Read Aloud Day in January, 2010, to honour(表彰)the little boy for sharing such a great idea with us.
Now more than 65 countries around the world celebrate it. Parents and teachers read to their children or students on this day. World Read Aloud Day tells people the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories.
So come and join us.
