Are you feeling anxious about your test next week? Here are some tips that will help you in dealing with stress and anxiety.
Study regularly
One of the most important ways of avoiding test anxiety is to prepare well in advance. Study regularly for a few hours every day. 1..
Reduce study pressure
If students are not able to deal with anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teachers, student counselors(辅导员), parents or friends. Parents should also avoid pressurizing(加压) their kids to do well. 2.Then your children can study without any tension(紧张). Another important point that arises here is neither the students nor the parents should compare the children with their other classmates and friends.
Physical fitness
Do not forget to eat and sleep properly. Many times due to anxiety students avoid sleep and starve themselves. 3.. Exercising regularly is equally important as talking to friends and socializing(社交).
4.
Plan your studies well. Chart(制图) out a timetable and take proper breaks between studying. Along with the study time, allot (分配) time to relax and do what you love to do. Practicing simple breathing skills will also help reduce stress.
5.While it is important to gain good scores in tests, it is not the most important thing in life. Learning to deal with nervousness and stress will not only help them to do well in school tests, but also in their future life.
A. Listen carefully in class
B. Prepare schedule
C. Create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere at home.
D. It helps in increasing the confidence of students.
E. Test and exam time causes a lot of nervousness in students.
F. They should sleep for at least 6-7 hours a day and eat nutritious and healthy food.
G. Students should remember that tests are just a part of life.

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he seldom spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
''It sounds as if the roof has fallen in! '' cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured,perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
1.Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?
A.Because he was used to living abroad.
B.Because there was no furniture in it.
C.Because the cottage was in bad condition.
D.Because the roof of the cottage was falling.
2.When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ________.

B.something strange blinded them
C.it was completely dark inside
D.it was too bright inside
3.The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ________.
A.he saw a strange sight
B.he did not miss the exciting stories
C.he spent more time with his uncle
D.he had a lucky escape
