Now you’ve finished three years of English study. There’s one way to demonstrate(展示) what you’ve learned－take a test!
Do you have any special methods(方法) you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your best on test days.
Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and wide-awake for test day.
Have a good breakfast. Test day isn’t a morning for donuts(面包圈). Nor is it a time to starve yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-enegy food to keep your brain and body working their best.
1. . Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.
2. . Make sure that the number of the items on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.
3. . Don’t assume that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.
4. . Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and check your answers. Don’t spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip(跳读) it and come back to it later.
Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skills you need for taking tests.

In London, there has always been a main problem. In order to solve this problem, the government has decided to have a bike revolution(革命). It has decided to provide 6,000 bikes for the people to rent. The government encourages local people to ride bikes in order to solve the traffic problem.
More than 12,000 people have agreed to the idea. Some of them ask for more than one key. Although there are not enough bikes, an official(官员) from the government said that they would find some ways to deal with such a shortage.
Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations（停靠站）.There are about 315 docking stations across the city. About 12,450 keys have already been handed out to the local people, but only 6,000 keys can be used now.

More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour, it is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt（安全带） saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half in traffic accidents.
So drivers or front seat passengers over 14 years old in most vehicles(车辆) must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined(罚金) up to ￡50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s duty to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle（倒车）; or if you are a postman using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which allows you not to wear it. Make sure about all the above before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to the police station for not doing so.
