Do not go to bed late at night studying. Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper, try to understand the exact(确切) meaning of each question. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answers. Correct(改正) the mistakes if there are any and be sure that you have not missed anything out.

Today，for example，I had an interesting experience（经历）.At 11 o’clock this morning，I got a call from a man. I don’t know who he was. He was in trouble and I could tell that he was worried about something. He gave me address and asked me to send an ambulance（救护车）right away. I asked him if somebody was hurt，but he didn’t answer my question. He told me he needed a doctor at once，so I said I’d call an ambulance for him but I still wanted to know what was wrong. Then he said，“Our keys are gone!” I didn’t understand that! Why would he need an ambulance just because he couldn’t find his keys? Then I found out what the trouble was. The man and his wife left the car keys on a coffee table，and later they couldn’t find them. Their little boy Johnny was playing in the room，and they thought he swallowed（吞下）them.

But before I could help him，he told me he wouldn’t need an ambulance anymore. His wife found the keys in her bag. They were there all the time.
