   3For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

   How to get through exams? Here is some advice:

   Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam.

   Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.

   Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.

   Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.

   You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport—whatever you enjoy.

   Stop thinking about the future and failing.

   If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! 84Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

   If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!

   To this advice, we could add:

   If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

   Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It’s neither China nor Japan. It’s Great Britain.

   In the wild, tea plants may be 30 feet tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned (修剪). Pruning keeps the plant only three or four feet tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves of each new shoot (芽) are picked. So to make money, tea plantations must be huge.

   In general, there are two kinds of tea, black tea and green tea. They are made in different ways. When black tea is made, it loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. But green tea retains its healthy qualities. For instance, it may prevent heart disease (病).

   How did we get tea bags? The answer: by accident. People used to send tea in tin boxes. This was expensive. Someone thought of a cheaper way. He sent tea in small silk bags. Customers would open the bag. They would put the leaves into a pot as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured hot water over it. And the tea bag was born.

   Shen Nung was the first to drink tea. This was about 2737 B.C. Shen was ill, so he drank several cups of hot water daily. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot. The next cup was poured. The water was now colored. Shen tasted it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was proud of his new drink. He served it to his guests. Word spread. People thought this way. Tea is good enough for the King. So it must be good enough for the people. Tea became the drink of China.
