21、Dear Mike,

Help! I’m a 15-year-old high school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an important exam. To prepare for it, I'm studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really upset these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do?

Yours,

Alice

Dear Alice,

Many students around the world have the same problem as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress（压力）. Good luck!

1. Make a study plan for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. Remember, studying one hour each day for six days better than six hours in one day. Also, don't study late at night.

2. Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go out and take a walk. Doing exercise is a great way to reduce stress.

Sick while in motion

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness.

Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused with each other, Scientific American reported.

We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears contain a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles react to movement.

When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes that prevent mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics expert from the US, told the Atlantic.

Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC.

A．you may have cold

C．you cannot drive

D．you should sleep

【4】Bethann Hromatka thinks that________may prevent mismatching senses.

B．the speed of car
