We students enjoy our school life. But sometimes we feel unhappy. It’s every student’s bad dream:   1time. During the last three days of every term, we       six exams.
Last week I finished my end-of-year exam. The       exam to me was Maths. All of its questions were from earlier exams. So I finished it soon. The biology exam was hard. At first, I thought I would      it. It asked about lots of things we never studied in class, though we could       textbooks. And there wasn’t enough time to check every question. I guess at many of them. But my teacher said I did well in it.
In the Computer exam, we had a lot to do. I       I needed more time, but some of my classmates didn’t think so. They just        wrote down the answers and then played games. I didn’t think I could get a good score in the English exam. We had to        an article about the books we had read in class.But I didn’t study English hard enough.
At our school, we can “test out（免修）”of some     .That means students can study by themselves and then take the exam. If they pass, they don’t have to    that class. I tested out of both Art and Health classes.
Studying for those exams was hard. Those classes would last for six months, but I had to review(复习） everything in three weeks. I’m so glad it’s all over. Now it’s the summer holiday and I can enjoy it.

Bad teeth, a heavier body? And now, weaker bones. Last week, American scientists found another bad thing about cola: It’s bad for our bones, especially women’s bones.
Well, if cola is bad for us, you may want other popular drinks , for example, energy drinks(功能饮料). Energy drinks look cool. Their makers say they give you energy and make you better at sports. So, many students drink them before exams to help them stay awake.
But wait. To keep you awake, most energy drinks have a lot of caffeine(咖啡因). They are like a strong cup of coffee or tea. If you drink a lot of them, your heart will beat faster. You will feel nervous(紧张). You could also have sleeping problems and find it hard to live without them.
Amanda Smith is a 16-year-old US junior high school student. She drinks one or more energy drinks every day. She started to do this a year ago before dance class. But now, Smith says, “I drink them whenever I feel weak or before a test. I cannot help drinking them.”
The energy you get from the drinks helps for only a short time. You may feel good for an hour or so, but then you’ll feel worse than before.
What does the writer mainly try to tell us in the reading?

How old did Amanda Smith begin to take energy drinks?

Though energy drinks make one feel good at first, it________.

When astronauts （宇航员）are in space, they eat, sleep, wash, work and play. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently. On Earth, we put food on a plate and water in a glass. Gravity (重力) holds the food down and keeps the water in the glass. But in space, there is almost no gravity. So food can float away, and astronauts must eat and drink carefully.
Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most astronauts like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they can’t float away.
Washing is difficult. There is no shower or bath, so astronauts must use a wet sponge（海绵）. They brush their teeth normally, but very carefully. They don’t want wet toothpaste to float around the spacecraft（太空舱）! Toilets are easy to use. A space toilet is like a vacuum (真空) cleaner with a seat.
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day. They often use an exercise bicycle for this.
After a day’s work, astronauts relax（放松）. They listen to music, read, watch films, play games, write e-mails or talk to their friends and families by radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air. On the international Space Station, astronauts sometimes race from one end of the station to the other. The most popular pastime（娱乐） is looking out of the window, looking at space and watching the Earth.

Eat and drink carefully because food and water can __________away.
