21、 Exam-taking doesn't come easy to many people. The experience is often stressful. Here are some tips on making better preparations for your math exam.
Set up a study schedule and stick to it. Begin your schedule several weeks before your math exam.【1】Choose a schedule that provides for regular work but does not require so much attention that you become burnt out.
Work through classroom and homework problems and practice tests. This is very useful. Practice tests will familiarize you with similar questions that will be on the exam and will get you used to writing under time pressure.【2】
Attend review sessions with teaching assistants and instructors. Ask questions whenever you are confused. Bring the problems you’ve been working on.【3】Focus on problems where you consistently arrive at the incorrect answer and can't identify the reason.
Memorize the formulas you will need for your exam. Write down the information in numbers and mathematical symbols.【4】Commit "Pi equals three point one four" instead of "Pi = 3. 14" to memory. Many people have more difficulty memorizing figures, and your memory may turn 3.14 into 3.41 if you do not focus on the words attached to the numbers.
Take care of yourself before the exam. Eat healthy food and take steps to reduce stress. The night before the exam, sleep a full night's rest and arrive on time for the exam.
As the test begins, be calm and breathe deeply if you feel anxious.【5】Make sure your work is in the appointed place, so you receive full credit for your work.
A．Speak it aloud and memorize it using words.
B．Do be careful when you copy the key formulas
C．And discuss any challenges with your instructor.
D．By doing these, you are sure to get a perfect result.
E．In this way you have time to identify where you have trouble.
F．Start with problems you can solve easily when taking the exam.
G．Working through problems will increase your skill at solving them.
22、 It’s undeniable that spending time outdoors and in nature lifts our spirits and makes us feel more centered and at peace. When we breathe in fresh air, and enjoy the beauty of trees, streams and oceans, we naturally tend to feel more connected to ourselves and others.
Over the past decade, scientists have been exploring why nature — and dirt specifically — is such a powerful tool in improving our mood. According to researchers, the secret may lie in the mi¬crobes （微生物）of the soil. One bacterium specifically----Mycobacterium Vaccae （M. Vaccae） —has been identified as having the power to affect our moods and cognitive function as well.
Experiments conducted at Sage Colleges in New York found that contact with M. Vaccae can increase serotonin levels in the brain — a chemical that is associated with higher levels of happi¬ness ,increased focus, and reduced anxiety. In order to explore how the bacteria can improve learn¬ing, researchers Dory Mathews and Susan Jenks experimented with mice in a maze. Mice that in¬gested the bacteria navigated the maze twice as fast as the control group and proved less anxious as well.
Humans can absorb M. Vaccae just by playing in the dirt. We take in it when we breathe, we consume it in organic vegetables, and it can also enter our bloodstream through skin contact, espe¬cially where we have open cuts. This may explain why children in school perform better after break.
Neuroscientist Christopher Lowry at the University of Bristol in England believes that he has i- dentified why this incredible bacterium works. "What we think happens is that the bacteria activate immune cells, which release chemicals called cytokines that then act on receptors on the sensory nerves to increase their activity. ”
Beyond the power of M. Vaceae, scientists have been proving for decades that exposure to dirt, and the huge number of microbes found in dirt, can strengthen our immune system. When our body comes into contact with bacteria, it stores die infonnation in a type of library and can then use that information to fight sickness and infection more effectively.
Happiness, focus, less anxiety......I’ll take a double dose of dirt; please!
【1】What raises people’s spirits while spending time outdoors?
A. Air. B. Trees.
C. Water D. Dirt.
【2】How does M. Vaccae work?
A. By working on sensory nerves. B. By fighting sickness and infisction,
C. By strengthening the immune system. D. By making immune cells active.
【3】According to the text, what does the author intend to do next?
A. Provide some advice on reducing anxiety for readers,
B. Summarize the previous paragraphs about lifting one’s mood.
C. Explain how he or she will expose himself or herself to dirt.
D. Introduce a new topic related to dirt for discussion.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Fight Sickness and Infection More Effectively
B. How Getting Dirty Can Actually lift Your Mood
C. Let’s Take a Deep Breath of Fresh Air
D. Enjoy Beauty and Naturally Connect to Others
23、 London-based artist Sarah Ezekiel has won international recognition for her vivid, life-filling images. But her work is more remarkable for the fact that she has a medical condition that has left her unable to move her arms.
Ezekiel’s pictures are painstakingly produced, using the movement of her eyes and specialized technology that relays those movements to a computer. The eye-tracking technology gives Ezekiel a platform for artistic expression, otherwise denied by her disease—amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS).
Ezekiel showed no signs of the condition until 2000, when she was aged 34. Pregnant with her second child, she noticed some weakness in her left arm and that she was unable to produce each word clearly. Within months, she was diagnosed with incurable ALS.
Ezekiel describes her first five years living with ALS as “very lonely”. Today, she can neither speak nor move but says “technology has made my life worth living”. She uses a system made by Tobii Dynavox, a company specializing in “Eye Gaze” devices that help people with medical conditions communicate. Its technology adopts projectors, cameras and algorithms to track the tiny movements of the user’s pupils and control a cursor on a screen.
To interview Ezekiel, CNN sent her questions and she prepared her answers letter by letter, using predictive text. The technology also lets her surf the net, shop online and use social media.
Ezekiel, who studied art when she was younger, began painting using the Eye Gaze device in 2012. Her first artwork. Peaceful Warrior, took its title from a book by Dan Millman. “It was originally supposed to illustrate despair, but the finished result had a totally different feel,” she recalls.
“Being an artist because of technology has totally improved my general attitude towards life and opened up many other possibilities for me,” says Ezekiel. I couldn’t create pictures for years and it’s fantastic that technology has made it possible again.
【1】What can we know about Ezekiel’s disease?
A．It inspired her to be a devoted artist.
B．It was totally cured when she was 46.

【2】What does Tobii Dynavox’s system allow Ezekiel to do?
A．Enjoy her basic online life.
B．Move her body at her own will.
C．Suffer less pain from her disease.
D．Write letters to her baby by hand.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A．Drawing pictures.
B．Staying positive.
C．Using technology.
D．Being a special artist.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Platform Brings Fame
B．An Artist Paints With Eyes
C．Art Makes Life Meaningful
D．A System Wins Much Favor
