Nowadays in school life, a lot of students develop a fear of tests. It's not because tests are something to be afraid of. Most students are afraid of tests mainly because they don't always think they are well—prepared and they don't have enough self—confidence. If you follow the advice below, it's not difficult to overcome your fear of tests.

People who know that they are not well—prepared are usually those who fear tests most. However, most students don't know when they are truly prepared for a test. As long as you know that you have studied well and long enough, you have reason to believe that you are well—prepared.

Be confident about yourself. Confidence before a test can bring about two results: either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded (毫无根据的) or you could actually do well in the test because of your confidence. Some students find that they experience the first result. However, this is only because those students might not have followed the first advice mentioned above. As long as you have studied well, you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test. If you feel as if you have not studied hard enough, then you will not be as confident as you should be.

Ask your teacher in advance (提前) about the material that is going to be covered in the test. In this way, you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test. But you have to be brave enough to ask. Most students do not ask unless their teacher gives the information first, so make sure that you ask.

You should know that tests are only telling if you have got the knowledge, not how good or bad your IQ is. So, even if you do badly in one test, you should know that there are other tests to come. As long as you think that there is another tomorrow, you can overcome your fear of a test. However, make sure that you are going to prepare well for the other tests.

Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success. However, with the right attitude (态度) and preparations, you can overcome your fear of tests by using these suggestions.

There's a new AI robot: ChatGPT, and you'd better pay attention, even if you aren't interested in AI. The tool is an AI chat robot system that Open AI, a company, invented(发明) in November 2022 to show off and test.

ChatGPT remembers the main information of your talks, using earlier questions and answers to make its next reply quickly. It gets its answers from lots of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the Open AI GPT-3 family of large language models(模型).

You can ask ChatGPT anything, like physics, birthday party ideas and any kinds of help. Perhaps it's not smart enough to take the place of all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound pretty excellent. A few days after its use, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. Walmsley said in February 2023 that it only took ChatGPT two months to reach 100 million monthly users while TikTok spent about 9 months and Instagram needed two and a half years.

ChatGPT is free to use at the moment. But when too many people use the server(服务器)， it can't answer your questions. It just means you should try visiting the website at a later time when fewer people are trying to use it. Because of it, on Feb.1, 2023, Open AI has a ChatGPT new plan; ChatGPT Plus, which allows(允许) users to have better experiences even during the busiest time. You need to pay $20 every month for ChatGPT Plus.

However, ____▲____ ChatGPT is an AI robot that gives ways to solve your questions, but Google is a search engine(搜索引擎). You can search for as much information as possible through Google. ChatGPT has limited(受限制的) knowledge because of its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated(更新)every day.

Good morning. My name is John. I am a boy and I am 12. I'm a student in Guangming Middle School. I'm in Class One, Miss Wang's class. There are 10 boys and 10 girls in my class. Miss Wang is my English teacher. She is a good teacher. We like her and we like her classes, too. 

Mike is my good friend. He is 13 years old. He is in Class Two, Miss Zhang's class. There are 14 girls and 13 boys in his class. His English is good. He likes to draw. He wants(想要) to be a painter.

School years around the world

 You get into bed after a long day and plan to spend a few minutes on your phone before sleeping. However, falling asleep isn't as easy as expected. What's wrong?

 According to a new study, your phone may be the problem. Researchers asked 85 kids aged 11 to 14 to wear body cameras for a week, starting from three hours before bedtime. A second camera was placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use in bed. The kids also wore a device(设备) to record their sleep.

 Researchers found that 99% of the kids used their phones in the two hours before bed, over half used their phones while in bed, and about a third used them after trying to sleep. The results showed that screen time in bed put off kids' sleep by about half an hour and cut down on their total sleep time.

The influence was larger when they played games or used more than one screen.

"While the science guidelines (指南) suggest no screen time in an hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might help you get a better night's sleep," said the lead researcher, Bradley Brosnan.

 From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don't like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?

 In some parents' eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. In reality, there are many things to consider besides school subjects. For example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.

 Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn't do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the great people who are successful in life without finishing school. They catch every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.

 Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can't define(界定) a person's success by just one part of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don't take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents improve. That's how you can live a happy and successful life.
