Here are some of the help online for young people on test revisions (复习).

BBC Bitesize is one of the best websites (网站) when preparing for a test. Whether you’re in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can choose a subject and see the articles and videos on each topic, such as creative writing and the food chain (食物链).

The Maths Guy on a YouTube channel can be really useful. Its videos explain different maths topics clearly. It also has weekly challenges to test what you’ve learned.

Duolingo Math is one of the newest and leading mobile apps to help you revise maths. It’s made by the company behind the language-learning app Duolingo, and it has lots of short exercises to help you have new maths ideas. Duolingo Math is only available for Apple devices.

Squeebles is a fantastic app for revising spellings, especially difficult words. It is available (可用的) for both Apple and Android devices.

There was once a poor man who lived in a village. Every day, he walked through the village looking for someone who could give him a little work. When he was lucky, he made enough money to buy one small meal.

One day, the man saw a fat goose (鹅) run by, so he caught it. “What a hearty meal you will make!” said the man. “Tonight my stomach will be full.”

“Do not eat me!” cried the goose. “I am a goose like no other. If you feed me and take care of me, I will lay golden eggs for you.”

“Can this be true?” the man wondered. “Since this goose can talk, perhaps it can lay golden eggs, too. I will give it a chance (机会).” So the man took the goose home and fed it the last food in his kitchen, even though he had to go to bed hungry that night.

As soon as he woke up the next morning, the man rushed over to the goose. Under the goose he found a large, shiny egg made of gold. He took the egg to the market and sold it for lots of money. When he came home, his arms were full of food, including good food for the goose.

Each day, the goose laid another golden egg and the man sold it. Before long, the man was very rich, yet he wanted to become even richer. “Why should I spend so much money on food for the goose?” he asked himself. He decided to cut the goose open and get all the golden eggs at once.

The man cut the goose open and found no golden eggs. “What have I done?” he cried.

African elephants can now be counted from space, using high resolution images (高清图像). The researchers say the new technology can be used to protect the animals better.

The researchers used satellites (卫星) 372 miles above the earth to take some of the highest resolution images. They then made a computer program that could identify (识别) elephants within the images (图像). Dr Olga Isupova, from the University of Bath, told the BBC, “We could train the machine to see small details that we wouldn’t be able to pick up with our eyes.”

Usual ways of counting elephants are to fly above them in the planes or get humans to count the animals on satellite images. This can be difficult, because elephants are hard to be seen when they are among trees or tall grass. It takes a long time and mistakes can be made. The new technology means elephants can be counted more correctly and the work is much faster. The computers can do the same amount of counting in a few hours by the new technology instead of (代替) humans’ monthly work. Clouds still are a challenge, because they can block (遮挡) the satellites’ view. Luckily though, most places where the elephants live do not have much cloud.

The researchers say the new technology can help to save elephant populations from being hunted (捕猎), because it is easier to find where the elephants are and so plans can be made to protect them.

Going to an art museum can be a fun activity. However, if you’re not sure what the art is about, it may seem boring. Here are many ways to understand different kinds of art.

You don’t need to visit the most famous museum in your area. Instead, have an adult help you look at the websites of a few local museums to see what exhibits(展览) they have. Choose one you’re interested in to visit. For example, if you enjoy taking photos, you might go to a photography exhibit.

If a piece of art (艺术品) catches your eyes, you may start by getting close to the artwork. Think about the story the artwork may be trying to tell. Bring a notebook and pencil with you, so you can make a quick drawing yourself. This way, you might see new details (细节) of it that you didn’t notice before.

If you want to find out more details of the artwork, a volunteer at the museum maybe helpful to talk to you about it. Free brochures (手册) may also provide information. You can also ask yourself what the work means to you. For example, maybe the colors in the piece remind you of a place that’s special to you or the emotions you’ve been feeling.

After you leave the museum, consider which pieces of art stay in your mind and why. Talk to a friend who went with you, and ask them about their favorite pieces, too. The way artists make themselves understood through their work is the magic of art really.

In the UK, netball(无板篮球) is a popular sport, but it’s only for girls. In England, about 1.4 million people,     36     (main) women and girls, play netball every week, according to Sport England. I myself love netball a lot. Since the first year of junior school, I     37     (be) a member of my school team and also my local team, Woodford Warriors.

Netball is a sport with seven players on a team. We need to score by throwing the ball through a hoop(篮筐) 3.05     38     (meter) high. Unlike basketball, the net ball hoop has no backboard and is much     39     (small). The seven players each have a place and can only stay in     40     (they) areas.

Playing netball is great for my physical health. It also     41     (teach) me life lessons. For example, because of the restriction(限制) of movement, sometimes you need to step back     42     let other people handle (处理) things. You don’t always have to stay at the front to play     43     important role.

Also, my team and I share something that I cannot share     44     my other friends, because we work together to win a game. A netball player must be able     45     (tell) which direction (方向) others will drive out and when they will jump to catch the ball and much more. This friendship is amazing.
