Take breaks.
Remember tiredness can lead to all of the health problems and to other problems as well. If you do not rest your mind, you will likely get tired and it will cost you points.
Trace your place.
You can mark your place either by pointing to each word as you read it, or by placing a sheet of paper underneath the line you are reading. Pointing to each word with a pencil or your finger helps your eyes see where they should be reading. 【2】
Read aloud.
【3】 If you must remain silent, whisper the words to yourself, or mouth the words, and say them in your head. It is important that you actually hear the sounds, even if you only hear them in your imagination. This multisensory approach allows you to see, hear, and feel what you are reading. Reading aloud should help you stay focused, understand better and remember what you are reading.

If you are thinking about what is important enough to write down, you will pay more attention to the reading. 【5】 It will also help you process the main point of the passage and improve the possibility that you will remember things.

28、Imagine that you’ve just experienced something unpleasant-your friend has forgotten your birthday, you’ve been rejected for a new job, or you’ve just woken up after a long holiday and remembered you need to go to work. How would you typically respond to those feelings?
You might try to tell yourself that it doesn’t matter, and not to let it get to you. This tendency could be described as “mood shame”: The belief that having bad feelings is a personal failing.
Continually looking on the bright side of life might seem strong, even courageous. While it’s natural that we might prefer to avoid uncomfortable feelings like disappointment, worry, anger, or sadness, a recent psychological research supports the idea that they serve useful purposes in our lives. By learning to see that value and accept those feelings without judgment, we may enjoy better physical and mental health.
Consider anxiety. We may assume that anxious feelings destroy our concentration and reduce our performance on difficult tasks—that we can only succeed in an exam or an interview if we learn to relax. Alternatively, we can see the feeling as a source of energy. Besides, disappointment may make us feel unpleasant-but you could recognize that the emotion helps us to learn from our mistakes. And by assigning a more positive meaning to the feeling and acknowledging its potential uses—rather than feeling it is somehow unhealthy—you might change the brain and the body’s responses to an upset.
Rather than judging yourself toughly for bad feelings, you might lean into that bad mood, and allow yourself the self-care you need to get through it. Without fighting the emotions themselves, you could start to question whether those feelings have value. Perhaps they’ll help you to identify an important change in your life.
【1】What do the underlined words “get to” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.By analyzing causes.
B.By giving examples.
C.By presenting research results.
D.By making definitions.
