Passage 2When you've read the same paragraph 10 times and you still make little of it as you are reading ancient Egyptian, and you're not studying ancient Egyptian, it's time for you to put the books down. Experts say good breaks are a critical part of exam preparation and actually make your brain work better.Debbie Bruckner, the director of the Student Union Wellness Centre at the University of Calgary, says an overburdened brain stops processing new information. "You've got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory," she says. To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head.Psychologist Joanne Mills says most people can concentrate for 45 minutes to an hour at a time, but then need 15 minutes to rest. She suggests picking your break activity—taking a walk, listening to music—and setting a timer for 15 minutes. "It's a cue to your mind" she says.Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when you've reached them. "Some students will take that break even if they haven't finished what they set out to do and then they don't really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with 'I must, I should, I have to.' If you're in the flow, ride the momentum until you come to a natural break in the material, then set the timer again and walk to the corner store.Alternating which books you're hitting also helps. Work on English for an hour, then switch to math. It's like exercising multiple muscles at the gym, as different parts of your brain work for different subjects.Bruckner says that to maintain a healthy mind-body-spirit temperament in the heat of exam season, sit down with your calendar."Make a schedule for a month—when your assignments are due, when your final exams are, what the weighting is for each," she says.The word "cram" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ()A) put something into a container, especially in a hurryB) put many things into a place at one time that makes it completely fullC) teach students as much as possible in a short time before the examinationD) put too much knowledge into the brain, although there is hardly enough room for it.

Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear. This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties-in other words, when they are older and wiser. Wisdom teeth are chewing teeth, at the back of the mouth. They can grow into place normally and never cause a problem. But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth. They might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums(牙床). An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gum-the term is erupt. Wisdom teeth that only partially erupt can leave space for bacteria to enter around the tooth. Infection is a risk in these cases. Wisdom teeth’that are not well in place and become impacted are often removed. People should have the placement of their wisdom teeth examined between the ages of sixteen and twenty. X-rays can show wisdom teeth that are below the gums. The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums. Removal is also advised if there is a chance that poorly placed wisdom teeth will damage other teeth. And removal is called for in cases where fluid collects around a wisdom tooth that is partly or fully below the gum. But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed One theory has to do with our diets. Scientists say the diet of prehistoric humans probably required more chewing teeth. Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then, too. So it was good to have extras. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial (上颌面的) Surgeons says young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal. The group says older patients may be at greater risk for disease in the tissue surrounding the teeth. After surgery, there can be swelling of the gums and face and some pain. Both can be treated with cold wraps and medication(药物治疗).Wisdom teeth will cause problem when (). A. they are below the gums B. they have erupted from the gums C. they don’t have place to grow normally D. people are at their late teens or early twenties
