For most students, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam time so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing, they are afraid of letting their parents down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

How to get through exams? Here are some top tips by educational psychologists（教育心理學(xué)家）

Ask a teacher about how to review, and exam skills – how to work when you are in an exam.

Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.

Plan your work: review at times when you know you will work at your best.

Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.

If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

If it makes you upset to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed after that. Your mind will still be “going round and round” – thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works(作品) of art made at different times from 1, 500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain (大腦). The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls(控制) the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged(損害) when they are born. However, this doesn't happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason (原因) why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因) for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-or left-handed according to the chance (偶然性) and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don't have to.
【小題1】 After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found      .
A. the art began from 1, 500 B. C.
B. the works of art ended in the 1950s
C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed
D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed
【小題2】 How many people in the world are left-handed now?
A．Less than one sixth.
B．More than a half.
C．About 40%.
D．The passage doesn't tell us.
【小題3】 What is the left hand for most people used to do?
A．It's used to find or hold things.
B．It's used to work with things.
C．It's used to make a person's eyes work together.
D．It's the centre for thinking and doing problems.
【小題4】  According to (根據(jù)) the  passage, which of  the following is NOT true?
A．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
B．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
【小題5】The best title(標(biāo)題) for this passage is      .
A．Scientists' New Inventions
B．Left-handed People
C．Which Hand
D．Different Brains, Different Hands.

Many strong and out-of-control emotions are recognized as an illness. People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁癥); those who worry a lot have anxiety.
But what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion – one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didn’t accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.
Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
How to tell the difference between “normal” anger and “anger problem” is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.
Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (強(qiáng)度). It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses (反應(yīng)) are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.
And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don’t disappear over time.
Consequences are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages people’s lives. “It interferes (干擾) with people’s relationships and their jobs,” says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”
Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. “When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,” says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds.
Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someone’s level of competence (競(jìng)爭(zhēng))– whether on the job or as a parent or partner – helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.
【小題1】A person who _________ most possibly has disordered anger in the experts’ opinion?
A．can’t get out of anger quickly
B．is dissatisfied with relationships
C．has high blood pressure
D．is worried about his job
【小題2】What does the underlined word Consequences mean?
A．Responses.B．Effects.C．Reasons.D．Feelings
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Anger is an secondary emotion that makes people sad and stressed.
B．Anger was recognized as an illness by most doctors in the past.
C．A person with an anger problem gets angry more often and easily.
D．The use of relaxation techniques is the best way to manage anger.
【小題4】 What is the best title of the passage?
A．Can anger be an illness?
B．Is it disordered anger?
C．Can anger influence our life?
D．Is anger management important?

Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（職業(yè)的） storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回報(bào)）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
【小題1】Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.

A．hardB．colourfulC．easyD．rich
【小題2】From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B．his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C．his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D．little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
【小題3】Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A．Because she thought they never said anything good.
B．Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C．Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D．Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
【小題4】In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A．silentB．modestC．talkativeD．trouble-making
【小題5】Which is the best title（標(biāo)題）of the passage?
A．My Unlucky ChildhoodB．A Storyteller’s Childhood
C．My Kind GrandmotherD．More talking leads to success
