Are you afraid of tests? What will you do to prepare for a test? The following suggestions will be helpful.
Pay attention to what your teacher gives about a coming test. Write down exactly what you will be tested on. Knowing what the test will cover is half done.
Make a review list that includes important points from class and reading material. Then your studying notes will be in one place. What’s more, rewriting the material will help you to remember it.
Don’t cram (突击式学习)！Test preparation begins the first day of class, so keep on doing your reading and homework. Then you just need to review for the test—not learn all the materials. If you wait until the night before to try to learn everything, you will only put more stress (压力) on yourself.
Get a good night’s sleep before the test, but if you can’t, don’t be awake the whole night. Research shows that getting at least four hours of sleep produces the better test results.
Eat a healthy breakfast to keep your mind sharp (敏锐的). Avoid sugar, as it will weaken your ability to concentrate (全神贯注).

My Favorite Sweater
By Bonnie Highsmith Taylor
My favorite sweater grew too small. I love that sweater best of all. My grandma made it when I was three. She made that sweater just for me.
I picked the yarn (纱线), a special blue. The color of bluebells (蓝色风铃花), wet with dew (露珠). When I was three I was very small. But now I’m five and much too tall.
I have a new jacket now that’s green. So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen. Queen just gave birth to kittens in the shed (小屋). My favorite sweater is now their bed.
