Have you done the necessary work to get good marks? Sleeping with the textbook doesn’t work. The best way is to space your practice out, rather than put it all together. Just as a scientist called Tom Stafford advises, if you need five hours of study, do it one hour each day. You’ll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day. ★ Get pens and paper and start working! Students who can test themselves earlier will be better at retrieving the knowledge from the memory and keep it in the long run. John Dunlosky, a professor in the US, suggests that “you start by reading a textbook with your favorite pens and colors, and then write down the important ideas on small cards. While doing so, you actually try to test yourselves on them.” Good revision (复习) can make you believe in yourself, but if you are still worried, it’s not bad to follow some special customs. In Japan it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a bowl of rice with egg and pork pieces. The name of the dish makes people think of the word “Katsu”, meaning “winning”. For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam, because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their heads. And in different parts of the world, there are always those who believe in their “lucky underwear”. The bottom line is that you need to study, eat a good meal, sleep well on the eve of the test and believe that you can make it. Good luck in your exam! 21. How do you prepare for your exam by spacing your practice out? A. Spend 5 hours preparing for a test. B. Study for at least 5 hours on one day. C. Sleep with your textbook under the pillow. D. Organize 5 hours of study into one hour a day. 22. Which sentence can be best put in ★ in paragraph 2? A. Don’t read your textbooks early. B. Don’t depend on memory alone. C. Don’t test yourselves very often. D. Don’t worry about tests too much. 23. What would the underlined word “retrieving” probably mean? A. Getting back. B. Filling in. C. Giving away. D. Cutting out. 24. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3? A. Special customs will truly bring good luck to people in Japan. B. The word “Katsudon” sounds similar to “winning” in South Korea. C. Some people might wear special underwear before important events. D. In some countries, washing hair brings bad luck after having exams. 25. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Are you excited about your exam? B. Are you busy with your exam? C. Are you ready for your exam? D. Are you unhappy with your exam? C ①The most important holiday for the Chinese is the Spring Festival.
