The revision period is, arguably, the most difficult part of any exam process. The exam itself lasts usually between one and three hours. However, the opinion that the exam is the most important peak of the entire process should provide some comfort A well-structured revision plan can help you revise well. Below are my top tips for creating a well-structured and comprehensive revision plan, which will provide the best chance of success in the summer.
1.
It is certain that planning your revision timetable must be done before anything else, to ensure there is enough time for comprehensive coverage of all subjects. With most exams starting at the end of June, the revision plan should be in place by the end of March at least.
2. Continual assessment (评估) In order to chart (跟踪记录) your development effectively, we recommend that our students attempt practice papers in each subject, marked according to the relevant mark scheme and curriculum.
3. Order your subjects strategically Ordering your subjects in an effective manner can help to do this. For example, scheduling English revision to appear early in your revision plan may provide useful when revising essay-based subjects such as History, Religious Studies and Politics later on.
4. Each subject is different
Depending on your learning style, you may find one easier than the other. More unusual exam types, such as performance exams, require their own unique attention.
| A．Besides, your time arrangement may be dependent on your own gift for in that subject. |

The contribution of domestic physical activity to meeting current recommendations for health. It questions whether activities like do-it-yourself, gardening and housework are good exercise.
but there is a danger that people incorrectly think housework is proper exercise.

She said housework was “inversely related to leanness”. She said this suggested that either people overestimate how hard housework was an exercise, or they eat too much because they think they have lost lots of calories doing household chores.
However, her study found the opposite.

| Dear Daddy, you stepped into my life years ago, and became my dad, a man who raised three fatherless kids and adopted(领养) another. It didn’t matter to you or us whether we were your biological kids or not—you are our dad! You did everything humanly possible for us, and you managed to have taken care of Mom, who has been sick, and the grandkids as well. Lessons we learned are love and compassion and kindness…We love you dearly. |
My dad taught me how to play basketball. He taught me how to pivot, throw three pointers, and do lay-ups and dunks. Now I am a pro (职业球员) at basketball. When I played basketball in December, I was a good guard. Although I sometimes didn’t play very well and my team lost the game, my dad always encouraged me never to lose heart. Now I have a dream that when I grow up I can play basketball on the Celtics. I love my dad! |

| The most important thing that my dad ever taught me was “Stick to it. Never do anything halfway”. He always told me that by doing your very best, you prove your ability, commitment and character. This advice was what I always kept in mind, whether I was removing the snow from the driveway, helping do the volunteer work in the nursing house or completing my last course in graduate school. “It shows what kind of person you are,” my dad would say. “People will remember and respect you for that.” I do remember and respect my dad’s advice, which will guide me to do anything. |
My dad has taught me many things. He has taught me love, hope, respect, discipline and the value of hard work. He has taught me never to be afraid, but when I am, his arms are always open for me to run into. He has taught me the value of a job well done. He has taught me how to ride a bike, then to drive a car. He always tells me that he believes in me and that I can manage to deal with the things around me. He is teaching me how to grow up but not grow apart. My dad is always there for me, and he has told me that he always will be. |

| My dad teaches me throughout my lifetime to present day that family is first. He says, “As the father, you should put your own wants and needs aside to make sure that your wife and children have the best that life has to offer.” He did this without failing every day of our lives, without words or empty promises; instead, through sleepless nights and tireless actions always with a smile. His words always remind me what I should do for the family. I am proud to be his son. I love you, Dad. |
My dad and I have a funny company we call “Priority”. It changes depending on the household chores we’re doing. He has taught me how to take care of the pool (Priority Pools), how to program garage doors (Priority Garages), how to plan family birthday parties (Priority Parties), how to install dishwashers (Priority Dishwashers) and how to clean the computer (Priority Computers). The list goes on. I’m proud of my dad, and grateful for my time with him. We have so much fun doing projects together. |
Children in kinder gardens have a lot of chances to interact（互动）with other children at their age．If your child is not in it, it can be fun and helpful to create chances to play with others．Here are some things you can do to support your child’s early partner relationship.
Schedule regular playmates.
Start when your child is around one year of age, set aside a few times a week for playtime with partners． .Even so, you still might want to give your baby a chance observe and communicate with children who are at the same developmental level.
Join a playgroup.
Many communities have organized playgroups for young children． ,and learn to feel comfortable in a new setting．As an added benefit, while your child plays, you can talk with other parents who have children the same age as your own.
You can organize a playground in your own home．It may involve just one other child, or as many as three or four． .Remember: safety first.
Offer guidance when needed.
If you see a child playing in a way that might hurt another, certainly you need to help her find a safer way to have fun． ．But remember that some children need to watch for a while before they feel comfortable joining in ---encourage everyone to join the fun, but don’t push.
| A．Make your home safe for play. |
| B．Make sure there are enough parents to talk with |
| C．You’ll need a safe space that has been carefully child-proofed. |

Apple’s so-called iPhone 4 “Death Grip” ----where holding the phone in the left hand weakens the signal ---- may rank among the top marketing failures of the 2010s.
Frustrated iPhone 4 owners don’t need to wait around for Apple to handle the problem. They can solve the calling problems on their own. I’ve got five guaranteed solutions, but you probably won’t like them.________________. In most US states, purchasers can return phones within 14 days - 30 days in states like California. It’s the “buyer’s regret” period, and for some people who can’t make clear calls there surely is some kind of regret. Apple’s newest handset may be the most fashionable phone on the planet, but it is by no means the only choice. Yes, you can use another smart phone and find happiness.
________________. OK, so this might seem like an extreme choice, but, hey, aren’t all those phone calls annoying? I’ve dramatically reduced the number of phone calls and must say it feels good to be free of them. The iPhone has a touchscreen for a reason. Use it. But, please, don’t text and drive.
________________. If you must make phone calls, change your location. Repeatedly test for the Death Grip, but don’t let the sellers know the real reason for moving. Surely they’ll think that anyone willing to wait all night in a line to buy a cell phone is some one who is easily tricked or taken in. Don’t let your iPhone 4 enthusiasm drive up the seller’s counter offer.
________________. Hey, why should Apple be the only one who makes money? The iPhone 4 eBay auctions（拍卖）are crazy. There are “buy it now” prices of $1,000 and auctions with bids（出价）starting above $800. While writing this post, I watched one auction count down 7 minutes to zero, where in the final seconds the winning bid was $1,300 for the 32GB black model, unopened.
_______________. It’s surprising how effectively some people can just ignore problems like they don’t exist. No matter what the situation, they ignore it. “Hey, Johnny, don’t you know Toyota recalled（召回） a bazillion cars for accelerator pedal defects?” You know his answer: “Toyota is the best company on the planet. There is no problem with my car.” I’ve seen this kind of denial behavior among some Mac enthusiasts, too. About Death Grip, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is on record firmly stating: “Just avoid holding it in that way.” Apple claims the problem really isn’t iPhone 4 but you. Hey, you can choose to believe that. Denial will fix your problem, because you’ll never admit to having one.
| A．Live in denial |
| B．Sell your iPhone |
| C．Stop making phone calls |
| D．Purchase a car rather than an iPhone |
E. Move to a location with strong carrier signal
F. Return the phone and get one from a different manufacturer（制造商）

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test,so don, t be over worried._______ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
