HOT TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AT EXAM TIME

0. _____G_____
It’s always good to know what you’re aiming for so that you know if and when you get there. By having an
aim for each week, or even each day, it will help you check your progress and show you if you need to
change your plans.
1. ___________
Rather than have to work through masses of notes every time you revise something, try noting down things
you want to remember on a piece of paper. It doesn’t seem much to learn that way, but it makes sure you
don’t miss out anything important. Once you’ve learnt the main points, rewrite them on another piece of
paper without looking at your notes.
2. ___________
There is nothing worse than being confused about what you need to prepare for your coming exam. If you
have a plan and stick to it, you won’t end up cramming all your revision into the last few hours! Make a list
of your exams and what you need to learn beforehand, and then drew up a timetable covering all the topics.
You can then work out what you need to do on a weekly basis and when you are going to do it.
3. ___________
By now you’ll probably have discovered the method of revision which suits you best. But every now and
then it might be helpful to try a different method. You could try working with a group of friends, or using a
different book which covers things from a new angle. Whatever it is, just try something different
occasionally.
4. ___________
Some things are almost impossible to remember, so you may need to do something unusual to help you
remember. Try writing them down in large letters and bright colors and sticking them on the fridge, on a
mirror or on the bathroom door. Try recording them onto a cassette player and keep playing it back to
yourself - on a personal stereo if you have got one!
5. ___________
Not too many people like exams and most of us get nervous before and during exams. But if you’ve
followed your plan and put the effort into revising, then there is no need to worry or panic. Hopefully these
tips will have helped you. Give it your best shot - that’s all that anyone can expect from you.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best option marked A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions(20points)
What is ‘extreme’ weather? Why are people talking about it these days? ‘Extreme’ weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong time.
In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such extreme
weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Riode Janeiro in
24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record rainfall in
Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal( chết người). In Rio de Janeiro,
landslides followed, burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people.
Meanwhile, other parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have
been hit in the last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe.
That summer, 35.000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earth’s climate? Peter Miller says it’s probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Niño and La Niña, originate in
the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects weather all
around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earth’s oceans is slowly but steadily going
up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the
Earth’s atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer oceans produce more
water vapor - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat, it produces steam more
quickly. Satellite data tells US that the water vapor in the atmosphere has gone up by four percent in 25
years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and typhoons that we are increasingly
experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality of climate
change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money in the future.
1. It is stated in the passage that extreme weather is .
A.becoming more common B. not a natural occurrence
C. difficult for scientists to understand D. killing more people than ever before
2. Which of these things is the basis of normal weather patterns?
A. greenhouse gases B. human activity
 C. El Niño and La Niña D. water vapour
3. What caused thousands of deaths in 2003?
A. a period of hot weather B. floods after a bad summer
C. a long spell of heavy rain D. large-scale landslides
4. According to the passage, extreme weather is a problem because .
A. we can never predict it B. it only affects crowded places
C. it’s often very destructive D. its causes are completely unknown
5. Which statement is NOT supported by the information in the passage?
A. Extreme weather is substantially influenced by human activity.
B. Unusual weather events are part of natural cycles.
C. We can limit the bad effects of extreme weather.
D.Such extreme weather is hardly the consequence of human activity
