24. (10分) So, it's exam time again. Have you done the necessary work to get good marks Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow (枕头) doesn't work. The best way is to space your practice out, rather than cram (塞) it all together. Just as a scientist called Tom Stafford advises, if you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you'll remember more than what you study for five hours on one day.
▲ Get pens and paper and start working!Students who can test themselves earlier will be better at retrieving the knowledge from the memory and keep it in the long run. John Dunlosky,a professor in the US, suggests that "you start by reading a textbook with your favorite pens and colors, and then write down the important ideas on small cards. While doing so, you actually try to test yourselves on them."
Good revision (复习) should give you confidence, but 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 eatKatsudon before a test. This is a bo wl of rice with egg and po rk pieces. The name of the dish makes people think of the word "katsu", meaning "winning". For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam, because they believe they could 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,and believe that your efforts will pay off.
Good luck in your exam!

26. (10分) Where does your food come from How is it made These days many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair wrote TheJungle. The book is a story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U. S. started testing food.
These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system (系统) keeps people safe. It also helps them eat health y food. Labels (标签) on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.
Although food systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make more money. When this happens, people don't know if their food is safe.
As we all know, food is closely related to our daily life. We should take action to make food safer!
