A woodcutter(伐木工) was working in the forest one day when he found a box full of gold coins. Unfortunately, his wife was the kind of woman who could not keep a secret. Somehow, he knew, he had to prevent(阻止) her from talking about the gold.

He thought about this for a long time, then had an idea.

“ I found something in the forest”, he told his wife, “come with me and I’ll show you.”.His wife followed him into the forest and soon they came to a tree.“ Look at that!” the woodcutter said to his wife, and pointed to the tree. “There’s a fish growing on that branch!” His wife was surprised ,especially when he climbed up the tree and brought down the fish for her to see.They walked on and soon came to the river. “I’ll just pull in my net and see what I’ve caught”, the woodcutter said.

He pulled in his net and inside there were several hares(野兔). “How interesting!” he said “there are now hares in the river.” After that, they came to where the woodcutter had found the box of gold. “Look, wife”, he said “this is what I have found. A box of gold coins.”

The next day, his wife could not stop herself from telling her friends about all the wonderful things she had seen.Of course, nobody believe her!

Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I’m not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?

Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills—how to work when you are in the exam. Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then.

If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you’re studying, then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”

Take a short rest during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it won’t remember well. Work at the time when you know you’ll work at your best.

If you’re 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.

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

1.How does the writer feel about exams?

A．Excited.           B．Bored.            C．Worried.          D．Surprised.

2.Why are the students afraid of exams?

A．Because they are afraid of failing.

B．Because they want to get full marks.

C．Because exams are usually hard.

D．Because their teachers will be angry at their bad grades.

3.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam.

B．Start planning and working for each exam early.

C．If you don’t know how to work for an exam, ask the teacher about it.

D．You should sleep well before the exam.

4.According to the passage, if you feel bad, you’d better _____.

A．take a short rest

B．tell someone about your worries

C．walk or get exercise

D．keep busy working and forget your worries
