As a mountain，1，642﹣foot Squaw Peak isn't that impressive.But its views attract many hikers（远足者）.Henry Grant，a college student at Ithaca College，was one of them.
While waiting for his mother one day in August，2019，Grant watched other hikers enjoy the view.One hiker，dressed in pink，was looking over the lip of the cliff（悬崖）with her husband.
When Grant's mother rejoined him，the two continued on their way.Suddenly，he heard something scaring： "Paula!Paula!" a man shouted crazily.Grant turned around quickly.________
Several hikers immediately started looking for her，but their view was screened by trees.Uncertain they could help，Grant and his mother headed down the trail.But when he saw some hikers still searching，he decided to lend a hand.After promising his mother that he would be safe，he went on alone.
After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks，pushing past bushes，and slipping（滑） down loose earth，Grant found a pink figure.The woman had fallen about 75 feet.Luckily，she was alive.
"Paula!Paula!" Grant shouted.The woman didn't reply.She was badly hurt.Grant called the police to report her location.She kept trying to move，and every time she moved，she slipped a little more.Afraid that in her unclear state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death，Grant climbed on all fours up a tight，narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.
Paula was moaning，almost senseless.Grant gently put her hand in his，trying to keep her mind off the pain by keeping asking her questions： "Where are you from？Do you have kids？" Soon， theywere joined on their perch（歇脚处）by another hiker named Simon.
About 45 minutes later，first rescuers（救援者）arrived.Paula and her husband were flown to a hospital.Five hours after the woman in pink had fallen，Grant was back on top of Squaw Peak.

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 eat Katsudon before a test.This is a bowl of rice with egg and pork 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!

Science is the best way we have of finding out about the world.Scientists collect evidence（证据）.They have ideas about the way things work.Science tests those ideas.Sometimes the test will show that the idea is not correct.If the idea passes the test，it adds to our understanding.
Scientists make observations （观察）.They may look，or listen.They may read the work of other scientists.This gives them ideas.You can do this.You can look around you.You can ask questions.You can plan a test to find out.You can discover something new.
Scientists make predictions.They say something about the future.They might say 'if I do this，then I think that will happen'.Isaac Newton was a famous scientist.When he shone white light through a glass prism，he saw a spectrum （光谱） of different colors.Newton predicted what would happen if he shone the spectrum through a second prism.He thought the colors would come together and he would see white light again.He tried it.He shone a spectrum through a second prism.He was right.The colors made white light.He discovered that white light is made up of many colors.
It's important to test your ideas.I's important to plan a fair test.A scientist wondered how a tree grows.Where does all that material come from？Was it from the soil？
He planted a young tree in a pot.He weighed the pot，the dry soil and the tree at the start of his test.Years later，the tree had grown tall.It had many branches and leaves.The scientist dug it up.He weighed it.The tree weighed far more than when it was young.Then he weighed the pot and the dry soil.It weighed just a bit less.
Where had all the new tree material come from？He decided that trees use water，and a gas from the air，to grow.
