Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
 Whether to achieve high scores in a quiz or pass an exam, remembering large amounts of
information has become an integral part of a student's life. And of course, this process always requires
a huge amount of time and effort. Luckily, you can make it a bit easier to absorb all that knowledge
with the spacing effect.
When you learn new things, your brain stores mew pieces of information in neurons and then
creates connections between them and existing ones that contain information you already know.
However, it is impossible for your brain to grow strong neural connections in just one day. That's why
if you force yourself to study the same information many times in one or two days, also known as
cramming, you'll have a hard time remembering it although you studied for hours.
Researchers have learned that it's much more efficient to introduce your brain to new
information and then wait at least a day before reviewing that same information. This gives your brain
time to strengthen the connections it has already built, which means it will be ready and physically
able to make those connections even more durable at the second time.
For example, if you have an exam coming up in a week, it's much better to review your notes
only once a day for those seven days than 30 times in one or two days. Even though you'll have
studied several times less, you'll do better, because you made use of the way your brain naturally
stores information.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Do you have anxiety? Have you tried everything to get over it, but it just keeps coming back?
Luckily, whatever your circumstances, you can take action right now to defeat the many different
symptoms of anxiety and stop it from affecting your life.
Do you feel anxious when making decisions or find it hard to get things started? One way to
overcome indecision is to “do things badly”. This strategy sounds strange, but the reason it works is
that it expedites your decision-making process and brings you straight into action. People often wait
for the perfect moment to start a project, but this mentality can lead to procrastination or even
prevent us from doing it at all. And that causes stress and anxiety. Instead, just start by “doing it
badly” without worrying about the results. This will not only make it much easier to begin, but you’ll
also find that you’re completing tasks much more quickly than before.
Imagine that you have a friend who always tries to tell you everything that is wrong with you
and your life. You would probably want to get rid of them right away. However, people with anxiety
often do this to themselves so frequently that they don’t even realise it. So perhaps it’s time to
change and start being more empathetic towards ourselves for the mistakes we make. If you feel like
you’ve embarrassed yourself in a situation, don’t criticise yourself – simply realise that you have this
tendency to blame yourself, then drop the negative thought and redirect your attention back to
whatever you were doing and you will feel better right away.
Regardless of how much we work or the amount of money we make, we can’t be truly happy
until we know that someone else needs us. This doesn’t mean that we need people’s praise, but doing
something with someone else in mind takes the spotlight off of us and our anxieties and places it
onto others and how we can help them. So how can you make yourself important in someone else’s
life? It could be as simple as taking care of a child or elderly parent, volunteering, or finishing work
that might benefit future generations. Even if these people never realise what you’ve done for them, it
doesn’t matter because you will know, and this will make you realise the uniqueness and importance
of your life.
