Exam time! Most students would say it’s the worst thing about school. But do you know why you take exams? And what’s the best way to study for them? Read on and find out the answers. You never know exams might not be so bad.

 

Most students don’t like exams. But interestingly, we can’t live without them. They play an important role in our lives.

 

Exams are not all the same. There are two kinds.

One kind tests your knowledge and skills. Most school exams are like this. And it’s the same with certificate (证书) exams. For example, you need to pass a certificate exam to become a doctor. This shows you’re able to treat patients.

The other type helps find the talented, for example, the college entrance examination (高考). Universities use it as a fair way to choose students.

At middle school, exams are about answering questions on paper. At university, exams are about writing essays (论文). Doing an experiment or even drawing a painting can also be university exams.

However, students in different countries take different exams. In the US, many school children do a book report or science report as part of their exams. In Australia, middle school students need to use what they learn at class to make presentations (展示) or speeches. Sometimes, teamwork is part of an exam.

So, exams are your lifetime “friends”. Be nice and friendly with them. They will help make you a better person.

What will humans look like in the future? It sounds like a cool question, but the answer may not be that fun.

 

A team from Toll Free Forwarding, a US company, built a 3D model of what a human might look like in the year 3000. Her name is Mindy. She looks a little bit scary. The company said the model showed how technology (科技) would change human bodies in less than 800 years.

For example, Mindy’s hands look like she is always holding a cellphone. That’s called “text claw”, according to the team. Mindy also has a much wider neck. It’s called “tech neck”. It’s from looking down at the phone for too long. Muscles (肌肉) in our necks need to be stronger to hold our heads.

Mindy also has another eyelid (眼皮). It can protect the eyes from the blue light of the screens. Her skull (头骨) is thicker. It protects the brain from the radiation (辐射) of computers and phones. Technology is so helpful that humans think less. That’s why humans may also have smaller brains in the future.

Will you spend less time on your computer and cellphone after seeing this scary model?

16. (   ) What do we know about the 3D model in Paragraph 2?

A. It is made for a girl named Mindy.B. It comes from the year 3000.
