Exams are an important part of education and the beginning of stress for many students. According to the research, many students are under stress from exams. If you are among them, the following words may help you.Do you know context-dependent memory (记忆依赖效应)? It refers to the idea that we arebest able to remember things in environments similar to when the information was encoded (编码).For example, if you will be in a quiet room during your exam, try to create those conditions while you prepare.Be sure to drink plenty of water. Aim for at least eight glasses of water per day. Not drinking enough water can make you feel stressed. Caffeine can make you feel excited, which can cut down the feeling of stress. Have a cup of coffee or a cola if you like, but don’t drink too much. Experts suggested kids and teens should limit themselves to about 100mg per day (one cup of coffee or 3 colas).If you are feeling stressed about an exam, be sure to reward yourself for your study time. This will make you continue studying and may even make less stress. According to the studies, the human brain can only focus on one task effectively for about 45 minutes. So after studying hard for about an hour, take a break and play on the Internet for 20 minutes or watch a part of a TV show that you enjoy. This will help you get your mind off the exam.It is important to eat right if you want to have the best chance of doing well on your exam and not stressing about it. Try eating nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid too much sugar.Generally, exam stress is all in the mind. It is important to move towards it with a clear mind and an understanding of how to deal with stressful situations more widely when preparing for the test.49.

What does the passage mainly talk about?A. What to prepare for the exam.B. Why to have the exam at school.C. Where to study before the exam.D. How to reduce stress before the exam.5DCan you make your New Year’s resolution successful?A New Year’s resolution is a promise people make to start doing something good or stop doing something bad from the first day of the year. Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and keeping fit. However, the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.A study by Richard Wiseman from the University of Bristol, UK, involving 3,000 people showed that 88 percent of those who set New Year resolution fail, the fact is that 52 percent of the study’s participants (参与者) were confident of success at the beginning.Some people agree that making New Year resolutions have become a formality. It doesn’tmatter whether they are followed or not. It is just like eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Life goes on as usual after a resolution is made.Timothy pychyl, a professor at Carleten University in Canada, arguing that resolutions are a form of "cultural procrastination (拖延症)," an effort toreinvent oneself. People make resolutionsas a way of encouraging themselves. However, people are not ready to change their habits, especially bad habits, and that had the high failure rate (比率).Psychologist (心理学家) Chris Hart says most people set the goals they can't reach. "...like expecting to get married this year or winning the lottery(彩票).Those aren't resolutions. They'rewishes," says Dr.Hart. "so only set goals that are totally within your control -- practical, realistic and positive," he says.Ms. Christina Lenjou, another psychologist thinks that most people are too ambitious (有强烈欲望的) by setting too many resolutions, "I advise people to choose one and focus on it, "she says."This means that if you want to stop smoking this year, then you must say by which month" "You need to understand that this is a long journey and stop looking at just the results. You need to know that you must start with reducing the number of cigarette (香烟) sticks every week."shesays.Dr. Hart says it takes about three weeks to change a habit. If you regard it as the New Year's resolution, it is usually very difficult. Often people fail simply because we aren't willing to carry it on. He also advises people to focus on changing their behavior, rather than the end result. So if you are dieting, do not weigh yourself every day. Instead, focus on what you eat and how much exercise you are getting.53. What does the word "formality" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Party of celebration.B. Goal of life.C. Requirement of custom.D. Production of culture.54. The writer mentions Ms. Christina to_______.A. stress the process of change.B. offer more resolutions to choose.C. introduce a way to stop smoking.D. prove the importance of resolution.55. What can we learn from the passage?A. It is difficult for people to make their resolutions.B. People can’t carry the resolutions on so they are easy to fail.C. Winning the lottery easily next year is a great New Year resolution.D. Paying attention to everything is the secret of achieving your resolutions.6七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
