Don't cram !Test preparation begins the first day of class, so keep on doing your reading and homework. Then you just need to review for the test--not learn all the materials.

Research shows that getting at least four hours of sleep produces the better test results. Eat a healthy breakfast to keep your mind sharp . Avoid sugar, as it will weaken your ability to concentrate . Question: How many suggestions have you got from the text? Options: A: Two. B: Three. C: Four. D: Five.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: There was once a spider that lived in a cornfield . She liked this home and planned to stay there for the rest of her life. One day, the spider caught a little bug in her web. Just as the spider was about to eat him, the bug said: "If you let me go, I will tell you something important that can save your life." The spider thought for a little while and listened. "You'd better get out of this cornfield," the little bug said. "The harvest is coming!" "I think you are just telling me a story," the spider said with a smile. "Oh no, it is true," the little bug said. "All the stalks will be knocked down, and the corn will be gathered up. You will be killed by the giant machines if you stay here." "I don't believe you," the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch. A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: "A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life, and nothing has ever disturbed me." The next day was a beautiful sunny day. The sky above was clear, and there was no wind at all.
