　　 For most students, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam time so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of falling；they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

How to get through exams? Here are some top tips by educational psychologists (教育心理学家):

l　　　　 Ask a teacher or tutor about how to revise, and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam.

l　　　　 Take short rests during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.

l　　　　 Plan your work: revise at times when you know you will work at your best.

l　　　　 Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.

l　　　　 If you fell ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

l　　　　 If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!

To this advice, we would add:

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to be bed afterwards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”--- thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

Hi! My name’s Wang Mang. I’m fifteen years old, and I’m a Grade 3 student in Shangjing in the year 2053!

I expect you find that pretty hard to believe. Let me explain. This book is a journal I wrote last month for a very special competition. I won the first prize, which was that my book would become part of the first ever experiment in time travel. It would be put in a time capsule to be sent back almost fifty years into the past. So, if everything went according to plan, you should be reading this in about the year 2005.

Do you know what time capsules are? They are usually containers made of some very strong material – so strong that it should last for hundreds or thousands of years without being destroyed. Inside these containers, you put things that are typical of the place in which you live. For example, in 2005 you might put a copy of a popular comic, a CD by a famous musician, videos of television programmes – all sorts of things. The idea is that when people in another century open up the time capsule. They’ll be able to see what life was like in the past.

Until now, all time capsules have been left for people in the future to find. This one is the first that has been sent from the future to the past. I don’t understand how it’s going to be done, but I think it’s a really cool idea. If it works, my own grandparents will be able to read this when they were secondary school students! But if my grandparents did read this, why haven’t they ever mentioned it to me?

37.　 If we believe what the passage says, this book was written ____________.

38.　 Time capsules are usually ____________.

A. hundreds or thousands of years old

B. made by people in another century

C. sent back in time to people in the past

D. containers holding objects typical of a certain time and place

39.　 The main purpose of most time capsules is to ____________.

A.　　　 show people in the past what life will be like in the future

B.　　　　 show people in the future what life was like in the past

C.　　　　 keep copies of old comics or CDs

D.　　　 Store recording of old television programmes

40.　 The last sentence shows that Wang Mang finds the idea of time travel ____________.

A. confusing　　　 B. exciting　　　 C. uninteresting　　　 D. cool
