A Special CakeA Special Cake 梁瑞段 With a cake, Mrs. Zhang came into our classroom. She said with a smile, “Hello, my children. Today is my birthday. I m so glad to share my joy with you. Here is my birthday cake. Lets eat it up together! ” She began to cut the cake. A student ran to Mrs. Zhang as soon as she cut down and he got the piece. Other students became exited. Some students also ran around the platform. Mrs. Zhang ordered them to go back to their seats. She would hand out the pieces of cake to us. We all looked forward to the cake happily. But the cake was so small that almost of us couldnt get even a least piece! The students who ate the cake were in high spirits but the ones who couldnt taste became very sad and unsatisfied. Mrs. Zhang said softly, “Im so sorry that I bring such a small cake here. In fact, we often have a so small cake in our life that it cant make everyone of us enjoy. Perhaps you got the chance to taste, perhaps you couldnt smell it at all. The unfairness is there! How should we face it? Should we be angry? Should we be sad? Should we be disappointed just like now? NO! We should find a way to make us become happy! Whether to get the cake is decided by ourselves. You ran to me first then you got the first piece, you wanted the cake and let me know, I would give you a piece; you wanted but you didnt tell me, I dont know you also like the cake, so I didnt give you and you couldnt get. The cake was given out in the end and you couldnt get a piece, how should you think of it? The cake is only a cake, we have many other things except it, dont we? We should accept the result and find our feet, shouldnt we? Its sure in our life that we often need to face the unfairness just like to share the small cake. Whatever the unfairness is, we should give ourselves a reason to get pleased. How to Succeed In the Exam 梁瑞段 In the high school entrance examinations I learned more strategies and skills of study. The top student in the examinations said to the reporter. First, I (1)classified the materials in order during study. By doing so, the materials became clear at a glance and I wouldnt get anxious or impatient or bored. Secondly, I made mistake-note-books according to the different subjects. Besides preview and review, we need to learn to sort out the notes and pick out the typical questions that we didnt understand. Write them down on the mistake-note-book. Scan them before the exam and you will get surprising gains. Thirdly, you should always remember that you must complete todays task today. You must study in high efficiency and arrange the time correctly. The days before test, we should go to bed early and get up early. Dont eat greasy food, adjust your psychology and you will succeed in the examinations. Questions: 1 从文中找出处单词的同义词或词组 。 2 把处划线部分翻译成汉语：。 3 What should we do when the test is coming?
