With Teachers’ Day draw near, I would like to express my thanks to Ms. Li, who taught me English last year. At that time, I was having a trouble studying English and my scores fell. Ms. Li encouraged me and tell me her story that she never gave out before her studies didn’t go well. She also said that it was necessary to make efforts so that I would not regret waste time. Her words were the best medicine because she stood in her shoes to deal with problems and gave me sincere advices. She didn’t simple comfort me. Her teaching methods also counted. It had never occurred me that studying could be so interested until I met Ms. Li.

    The key to dealing with test-day jitters（焦躁）is through preparation! 1. It is important to prepare your mind and body before the test for the experience of working under pressure.

Get some sleep.

I know you’ve heard this before, but it’s often repeated because it’s so important. Get plenty of sleep the night before the test! If you don’t have enough rest, you’ll end up with less concentration. 2.

Leave early.

Be sure to leave earlier than normal on the day of a test to avoid the added fear of arriving late. 3. The embarrassment will cause you to be distracted and lose valuable time.

4.

Once you arrive at school or at the testing center, find a quiet space where you can be all alone. You can use your car if you drive, or you can find an empty locker room or office (ask a teacher). Once you locate a cozy nest in a quiet place, do a relaxation session (=period). Close your eyes and try to relax completely. Take deep breaths and remain calm.

5.

It’s possible that some students start to stress out as other students discuss the material. When you hear others chatting, it might sound like you ignored something important or you misunderstood a concept (概念). It’s probably not even true—but it can seem like it!

A. Take a quiet moment.

B. A sleepy brain is a foggy brain.

C. Watch out for chatting with others after a test.

D. Attending an exam late is the last thing you need.

E. You can find time to eat some snacks during a break.

F. Don’t talk with other students in the minutes before a test.

G. But full preparation means more than knowing the test material.

    About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green — a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.

1.The passage is mainly about _______.

A. color and its surprising effects    B. women being luckier than men

C. danger caused by color blindness    D. color blindness

2.According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can _______.

A. tell different shapes    B. see in a weak light

C. kill mosquitoes    D. tell orange from yellow

3.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

A. Women are more careful.

B. There are fewer color-blind women

C. Women are fonder of driving than men.

D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

4.Which of the statements about the color-blind is true?

A. All of them don’t have the same problem in recognizing color.

B. None of them can see deep red.

C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.

D. All of them see everything in shades of green.
