Exam time is the most stressful period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests easily.

When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path -- stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!

So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel （给……加油）your body and mind.

It is bad to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in you life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!

【解析】

试题分析：考试的时候，很多人都会觉得有很大的压力，有些人不吃饭或吃得过多，还有些人睡不好觉，有的人拼命的学习，而有的人干脆放弃。作者觉得这些做法都是不对的，他在短文中结合自己的经历，告诉我们应该怎么做。

1.1】Exam time. 根据短文开头的第一句话Exam time is the most stressful period of the year可知，考试的时候是一年中最紧张的时候。

2.2】With the right amount of hard work and focus. 根据短文第一段的最后一句话However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests easily可知，只要努力学习的量适当，而且有足够的注意力，你可以轻松地通过考试。

3.3】Both of them are dangerous./Both. 根据短文第二段中Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough可知，过于拼命的学习跟学习不够是同样危险的。因此作者觉得这两种做法都是危险的。

4.4】Because information will stick in our memory. 根据短文第三段中Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory可知，我们应该有充足的睡眠，如果我们很累，信息就不会进入我们的大脑。

5.5】I will stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. / I will arrange a time each day for study and atime for relaxation. / I will let my brain rest for a few moments every day.这篇短文中作者告诉了我们面对考试的压力我们应该怎么做，根据文意可知，在考试的时候，我们要保持冷静，吃健康的饮食，还要有充足的睡眠。学习不能过于拼命，要让大脑休息。
