that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and families 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):
Ask a teacher or tutor about how to revise, and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam.
Take short rests during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.
Plan your work: revise at times when you know you will work at your best.
Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.
If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don"t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes
you work hard for them.
If it upsets (沮丧) 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 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.

We often see planes speed up on the runway and take off at the airport. Can this happen on the water? Aircraft carriers (航空母舰) make it possible. An aircraft carrier is a type of ship that planes can fly from-and land on-like an airport on the sea. On the foggy mo/"ning of August 10, China"s first aircraft carrier began its trial run at Dalian Port in Liaoning and returned four days later. The carrier was at first called the Varyag ("瓦格良"号). It was built in the former Sovriet Union (前苏联). However, the Soviets failed to complete the ship. China bought the Varyag in 1998 from Ukraine (乌克兰) after the former Soviet Union collapsed (解体). After the first sea trial, China will go on refitting (改装) the ship and doing test work. Building an aircraft carrier is hard work. There is still a lot to do, such as training pilots. Many people remember the aircraft carriers of World War II, a war in which big ships played an important role. The Japanese attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor (珍珠港) in 1941 by surprise with the help of an aircraft carrier. The Japanese also lost the Battle of Midway (中途岛之战) with the US in 1942 because their carriers were hit. Only nine other countries in the world have aircraft carriers. Some countries consider a Chinese aircraft carrier a threat. But China"s Defense Ministry (国防部) spokesman Geng Yansheng said: "China always sticks to the road of peaceful development. The aircraft carrier is for protecting national security (安全) and doing more for world peace." | |
