When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭),  It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw, He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages, When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads (装载)all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload, No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.

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-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best.

Be prepared, Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.

Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items(项目)on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.

Look over all the answer choices(选择). Don’t assume(假定)that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate(排除)any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.

【小题1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

In learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking. It is the groundwork (基础) of reading and writing. You’d better    your best to speak while you do much listening. Don’t be       of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them stop (阻止) you from improving your       . While you are doing this, a good        is to write or keep a diary, write notes or letters. Then if you can, ask some others to go through (浏览)        you have written and tell you where it is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be        found when you write. Through correcting mistakes, you can do better in learning English.
If you are slow in speaking, don’t       about it. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose       interesting to read. It mustn’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading        this way, don’t stop to       the new words if you can guess their meanings when they have nothing to do with the sentences. You can do that some other time.
