When you meet with an emergency(突发事件), what should you do? You should call the police at once. But before you call the police, First, you need to look around and watch the scene(现场) of the emergency carefully. Then, call 110 or any other number your country uses to ask for help. Remember to watch carefully so that you can offer more useful information about the emergency. Then calm down and pick up the phone. Be ready to give the dispatcher the important information.
Who? The dispatcher will ask you about your name and phone number. Sometimes he/she needs to call you again and try to get more useful information from you. What? Tell the dispatcher about the information as much as you can. For example, you can tell him or her whether there is a fire in the place where you stay. Where? Let the dispatcher know exactly where the emergency is happening. Give the city and road name, road number, direction of travel or traffic signs. In all, tell him or her all the things you know to make them know how to find you quickly. |
Remember not to hang up(挂断电话) until the dispatcher says it is OK. What’s more, you’d better stay at the same place and wait for the police or emergency help.

This story about the struggles(f +)of famous scientists can't be found in your science textbook, but a new study suggested maybe it should be.
In the study, 402 9th- and 10th-grade students from four New York City high schools in low-income areas were divided into three groups. The students read some 800-word stories about Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. The control group read a regular science textbook description about their great achievements. Another group read about the scientists' personal struggles, like Einstein's running away from Nazi Germany. The third group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles, as they tried different experiments--- and failed.
As it turned out. the students who had read about scientists' struggles, whether personal or intellectual, had higher grades than students who had read about achievements. Those who weren’t getting good grades to begin with gained the most. Those in the control group not only didn't see a grade increase, they had lower grades than the grading before the study began.
“We think that struggle stories showed scientists' weaknesses.” the researchers write, “which creates a sense of connection between the students and scientists. And that may make it easier for students to see them as role models.”
“When kids think Einstein is a talent who is untouchable, then they believe they will never get there, "said lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, PhD.
If we want to educate a future generation of great scientists, we can start by changing the way we talk about the great scientists of the past. An 800-word story about scientists’ failures, not just their achievements, in science textbooks will make it happen.

| D．Suggestions from the researchers |
| A．Einstein won many awards in his life, including the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics. |
| B．Going to college was hard for Curie because at that time women were not allowed to attend school. So, Curie had to study at secret classes. |
| C．By the time she reached college, Curie was able to understand five languages that top scientists spoke at that time. |
| D．Often working hour after hour and day after day. Curie devoted herself to solving challenging problems and learning from her mistakes. |
How to Study for Exams
Taking exams is stressful, but you can make it easier by improving the way you study. Studying for your exams will keep you from feeling unprepared, and it will set you up for success!
This is easier said than done, but learning how to take good notes will help you once it comes time to study. Write down everything your teacher writes on the board or puts up in slides. Try to record as much of what the teacher says as possible.
Turn on the light
Think of your teacher: What is my teacher most likely to ask on the exam? What materials did the teacher emphasize (强调) before exams? This may help you review the most important information for the exams.
Take breaks
You need some time to take breaks and it is better to study when you are feeling relaxed than to exhaust (筋疲力尽) yourself studying all day!
If you don’t know the answer to the question, do the next one and come back to it at the end. Struggling and concentrating on a question you don’t know the answer to can be time consuming (消耗), which makes you lose marks.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。| A．Carefully plan your break and study time |
| B．Take good notes |
| C．Studying in a dark room is not recommended (推荐) |
| D．Think of your teacher and review well |
| E．Do the questions you know first |
