A special lecture began on Thursday morning, given by a teacher aboard a space module about 340 km above her students on Earth, the first such attempt by Chinese.
Astronaut Wang Yaping, one of the three crew members of Shenzhou-10 spacecraft, greeted about 330 primary and middle school students at a Beijing high school, through a live video feed system. “Hello, everyone. I am Wang Yaping. 1. 今天我上这堂课。” She said. The students in her class are gathering at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University in Beijing. 2. More than 60 million students and teachers are also watching the live broadcast(直播) on TV.
3. 这堂课的第一部分都是关于重量。 Nie Haisheng, commander of the crew, made a bit show of crossing his legs into a meditation sitting posture in the air, which only a martial art master can do in the movies but is impossible for real people on the Earth. “4. Thanks to the weightless condition, we are all masters,” Wang joked. Then, she introduced the special scale on board of the orbiter. 5. The lesson is aimed(旨意) at making space more popular, as well as inspiring enthusiasm for the universe and science, according to Zhou Jianping, designer-in-chief of China’s manned space program, who added that the lesson will also accumulate experience for similar larger activities.

So, it is exam time again. 1. 到目前为止，你为取得好成绩努力过吗？ Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow doesn’t work. The best way is to space（隔开）the practice out, rather than cram（塞）it all together. Just as a scientist Tom Sanford advises, if you organize five hours of study on one day into one hour a day（five hours for five days）, you’ll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.
It is not enough to depend on your memory alone. Get pens and paper and start working! 2. If you can put it into practice, you will get the knowledge in a quicker way. John Dusky, a professor in the US, suggests “You start by reading a textbook with your favorite pens and colors. 3. 把重要的信息写在卡片上是有必要的。 While doing so, you are actually having a good revision（复习）on what you have learned. ”
4. A good revision can help you to build your confidence. If you are still worried, it’s not harmful to follow some special customs. In Japan, it seems to be a tradition for students to eat “Katsudon” before a test. This is a bowl of rice with eggs and pork pieces. The name of the dish reminds people of the word “Katsu”, meaning “winning”. The key to success is avoid washing their hair before an exam for some students in South Korea. In their opinion, doing so would wash all the knowledge out of their heads. And in different parts of the world, there are always those who believe in their “lucky underwear”.
The bottom line is that you need to study, eat a good meal, sleep well on the eve of the test. 5. As long as you do the things above, your efforts will pay off.
