4 . Some students study hard by cup after cup of coffee, what is more, the test stress（压力）almost makes them crazy（疯狂）. But when you want to review as many books as possible to be ready for your test, don’t forget your health. After all, if you’re sick during your tests, every effort（努力）might be useless. Here are some tips on food, drinks and sleeping for you.
Food and drinks
The most important thing to remember about eating and drinking is to do just that: eat and drink. Never try to work when you are very hungry. Always do your homework before you get too tired.
1) Eat healthily and regularly
A banana or orange with some yogurt will fill you up better than junk food. Don’t break your food habits too much. Eat a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time you always do. Don’t eat take-out and junk food.
2) Drink more water
Drink water, and then drink some more. Nothing else will help your mind keep clear and keep your energy（能量）levels high. Sugary（含糖的）soft drinks will do badly for your health. You can also add some fruits like lemon to your water.
3) Drink less coffee and energy drinks
Caffeine（咖啡因）is so popular. Everyone could refresh（振奋）himself by using a cup of coffee, but drinking too much will make you uncomfortable, can’t sleep well.
Sleeping
All of that studying during finals week will be for nothing if you don’t get enough sleep.
1) Make sure about sleep time
Don’t wait until late in the evening, or the homework will seem much harder than it really is.
Arrange(安排) your time properly（合适地）before final exams. You know your body, your study habits, and your finals schedule（时间表）, so make a plan according to these.
2) Take a rest
Relax yourself after an hour’s work. Put your head down or lie down and set an alarm for half an hour to get some quick power sleep to add（增加）energy.
3) Keep your environment（环境）relaxing
Play some light music to help yourself fall asleep and give your body enough rest.

5 . Why are dogs our best friends. Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought, according to a study in Hungary. It found that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it.
“The results were very exciting and very surprising.” Said the researcher Attila Andies, from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.
For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine, so that the researchers could check their activity.
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people’s voice to them. There were four different voice. Some were positive words,such as “well down”, or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like “however”. The words were also in different tones（音调）. Some were positive and some were neutral.
Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words, as well as the tone of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain’s reward centers（反应中枢）.
“It shows that for dogs, a nice phrase can work very well as a prize, but it works best if both words and tones match.” Said Andies.
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. Human brains work in the same way.
It gave us a new understanding of language,said Andies. That is, not only do humans understand the meaning in words, other species（物种）do too.

Chores were not popular at my house. My children didn’t like to do chores. They always saw me do chores, but they hardly ever helped me do them.
A year ago, I made a game called “The Endless Chore Game”. It is really great. Here’s how the game works.
I make a card with forty squares (方框), and I write a different chore on each square. These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert. Then my family rolls the dice (骰子) to decide what chores we have to do. The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing. If you are lucky, you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores.
My son likes the game very much. He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game. It is really a good way to make my children do chores. You can have a try if you have the same problem as me.

Play some music. Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn’t it? Play your kids’ favorite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.
Make it a treasure hunt (寻宝). It’s a good way when you would like them to clean the house. Let them know that you hide (隐藏) a $5 bill someplace. If they find it, they can keep it.
Change often. If your kids keep doing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown up when they get a new task.

9 . Today we find that school students hardly spend much time on sports. Is it because they aren't interested in sports? No, they often say they have other more important things to do.
What are these important things? Exams! They have to spend much time on all kinds of exams at school. So many of them almost become bookworms（书呆子）. Books stop them from going out for sports. Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. As for the students, they want to get good results so that they can improve their studies. So it is necessary for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports.
In fact, education can't go without enough exercise, because a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak body. If you don't have a strong body you can never get anything or any great success in your life.

10 . India has a population of about 1.28 billion. Its population is the second largest in the world. China has the largest population of over 1.36 billion. One out of six people on this planet live in India. Although the crown (王冠) of the world's most populous country is on China's head for ten years, India will take the position by 2030. With the population growth rate (率) at 1.58%, India will have more than 1.53 billion people by the end of 2030.
Now more than 50% of India's population is below the age of 25 and over 65% below the age of 35. About 72.2% of the population lives in some 638, 000 villages.
Some of the reasons for India's quickly growing population are poverty, illiteracy (文盲), decrease in death rates and immigration (移民) from Bangladesh and Nepal. India started taking measures to stop the growth rate quite early. India had the "National Family Planning Program" in 1952. It became the first country in the world to have a population policy. However, it failed to reach the final goal (目标).
