1、How do you feel about exams? On the contrary, is it an experience you enjoy because it's your time to shine? Every year, many young people sit exams and whether they love or hate them, most of them will face some anxiety before the big day.

If you're anxious about your exams, don't worry. You're not alone. When the pressure is on to pass that all-important test, take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who've been through the same experience as you.

Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of the day. She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs. Some research even suggests students who take water into the exam hall may even improve their grades.

One thing I know I always need is a good night's sleep to help me work and think better the next day. If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have revised.

According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council, sitting on your bed when you're cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress. Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel, so it's good to take breaks and reward yourself with a small treat, like a cake or a quick run around the block. There comes a point when your brain can't absorb any more information.

A. However, your brain is free of tiredness.

B. Is it the one thing you are frightened of?

C. Thus, you'll also need to know when to stop.

D. Is it the only thing that you are really keen on?

E. Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you energetic.

F. It might seem like a stressful time for everyone in the same situation.

G. And that's what's recommended for anyone preparing for their exams.

2、August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn't owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. "Everything that I shared online — about my love life or my vacations or my house — all these pictures and words were feeding into my business so they would result in sales," Lamm said. Ultimately, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point.

At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn't look at it for a whole day, which she said "was very inconvenient to everyone in my life". It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. Her dumbphone offers only basic calling and texting.

Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and scrolling (滚动) through social media. In 2025, these devices function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. "You figure out these solutions by asking," Lamm said, "like asking the parking company if they can give you another option when you can't use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will"

When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That's because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. "When I stopped posting I sought out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers, she said. "If I hadn't spent thousands of hours trying to build a following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, submitting to exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not prioritized online visibility over creative development"

3、The news cycle is driving us to the edge of madness, so why not switch off, unplug and pick up a book? We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh.

We took your votes and with the help of our panel (专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud. Want slice-of-life essays? Loopy poetry? Texts from famous literary figures? Scroll down — we've got it all.

As with all our reader polls, this is a curated (精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you'll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100.

And, as always, there are a few things that didn't make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn't get enough votes to make it to the semifinals. Then there were books that didn't quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn't tell whether they'd stand up.

Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again. Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect.

And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don't let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay.

Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school in Britain because school starts at around 9 a. m. and ends at about 3.30 p. m. This means I could get up an hour later than, as schools in China begin before 8 a. m.

On the first day, all of the new students went to attend an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Dianne. We soon became best friends. During assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. We should mind our based on the rules. He also told us that the best way to live up to our parents' was to work hard and high grades. This sounded like my school in China.

I had many teachers in the past year. Mr. Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. He told us that the more we are, the more easily we can succeed. In our class, there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a for me to remember all the faces and names.

I found that thewas not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first. I felt lucky, as almost all of my teachers gave me much encouragement, although a few make comments on my essays. I would never be for studying in this school.

6、For decades, Frederick Banting and Charles Best were believed to have contributed to the discovery of insulin (胰岛素) between 1921 and 1922 at the University of Toronto (U of T). In 1923, the university created the Banting and Best Chair of Medical Research, followed by the Banting and Best Department of Medical Research and the Banting Institute (1930) and, in 1954, the Best Institute.

However, the 1923 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded jointly to Banting and John J. R. Macleod. The physiology professor, who headed up the laboratory where the research took place, had been much more involved in the research than was later acknowledged. After learning that Macleod was honoured alongside him rather than Best, Banting shared his prize money with Best. Macleod, meanwhile, split his share of the prize with the fourth member of the team, J. Bertram Collip, a young biochemist from the University of Alberta. Collip's essential contribution was producing a purified pancreatic extract (胰腺提取物), which was administered on Jan. 23, 1922, to Leonard Thompson, a 14-year-old patient at Toronto General Hospital. That shot was the first successful human trial of insulin.

Much of the early research on insulin took place in the old medical school building at U of T. Opened in 1903, it featured state-of-the-art technology, including facilities for animal research. But Banting, a war-time surgeon, lecturer and medical researcher, was unimpressed. When he arrived in 1921, the operating room had lain unused for years and needed a thorough cleaning to make it usable. Located just below the building's roof, it also became unbearably hot during the summer. Early laboratory testing took place right there.

In 1982, Michael Bliss, a history professor at U of T, restored Macleod and Collip to their rightful place as co-discoverers of insulin. In 1990, a new plaque (牌匾) acknowledging the cooperation was put up outside U of T's current medical sciences building.

7、"One day I went to a Swedish friend's and while we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to WAIT in his room while they ate!" an Internet user shared on a media platform. Consequently, there was a lot of criticism of the Swedes. Many said they wouldn't dream of being so mean in their culture. Would a host in Sweden really not invite a guest to join their meal if it's dinnertime?

It does happen, says Richard Tellstrom, a food historian at Stockholm University. He says this so-called "non-hospitality" wascustomary when he was a kid in the ‘60s and ‘70s. If he was over a friend's house and it was time for dinner, he would go back to his own house to eat. Or he would stay and wait in another room while his friend finished his meal. Then they'd continue playing.

"Some Swedes think feeding a guest creates a sense of duty." explains Tellstrom. "And in a society that values equality and independence, people don't want to put a burden on someone or feel like they owe someone something." However, it wasn't a universal rule. Families in the countryside, for example, were more likely to feed guests. People lived farther apart, so it wasn't as easy for people to go home and eat. The "no dinner for you" policy has slowly faded, says Tellstrom. "Since the 1990s, food has become a new symbol in society. We have open kitchens. People like to dine there and show off their cooking."

But non-sharing hosts haven't entirely disappeared, says Mohini Mehta, a food scholar. She admits she had a tough time adjusting to life in Sweden when she moved there in 2020. She was used to cooking dine every day for friends and hosting dinner parties almost weekly in India. She learned that in some cultures, like her own, sharing a meal with someone is a way to break the ice—but this isn't always the case for Swedes.
