You just heard you would have a math test on Friday — the same day as your big history test and weekly quiz on Spanish Verbs. How will you get all your studying done?
Studying for tests and quizzes actually starts before you even know you'll have a test. Good study techniques begin in the classroom as you take notes. Note-taking is a way of remembering
what you were taught or what you've read about. Even if you are an amazingly organized and neat note-taker, copying and organizing notes after class helps you absorb and understand the material. And that makes studying easier and faster at test time.
As you study, review your notes and any special information from your textbook. In the case of math or science problems, do some practice. Pay special attention to anything the teacher seemed to stress in class.
Many teachers tell students ahead of time what the format (格式) of an exam will be. This can help you study. For example, if the exam will contain essay questions, you'll want to think about which topics are most likely to be covered. Then come up with several possible essay topics and use your notes, books and other reference sources to figure out how you might answer questions on those topics.
When trying to memorize dates, names, or, other factual information, keep in mind that it usually takes a number of tries to remember something correctly. Read

I once saw a TV programme at college about a scientist who used “drift bottles (漂流瓶)” to mark ocean currents. It was a rather boring programme. I was more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on a beach with a message inside. Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into the sea — but 21 years before. I decided to find out more about such bottles, and I started work on this intriguing (非常有趣的) research.
An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbus during a terrible storm. He wrote about his discovery of America and expected that his message would be sent to the Queen of Spain. He wanted the news to reach her, but he thought he might be drowned in the storm. In fact, he survived but the bottle was never found.
I would be excited to find a message in a bottle, but in the 16th century, it could be dangerous. In those days, the British Navy (海军) used messages in bottles to send information about the enemy. When Queen Elizabeth I found out that a boatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she created a new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death. It seems very strange to us now.
A long time ago, before dating websites existed to help people find partners, a sailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle — “To someone beautiful and far away.” It was found by a young woman in Sicily. She answered the message — “I am not beautiful, but it seems a miracle (奇迹) I found your message.” They began to write letters to each other, and eventually got married.
Nowadays it's easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them. And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message inside!

Pollution
Pollution happens when the environment is dirtied, by waste, chemicals, and other harmful substances (物质). Pollution is a problem all over the world. But it is especially bad in large cities with a lot of industries and cars. __1__
Wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial chemicals cause some air pollution. But most air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels (矿物燃料). These include coal, oil, and natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels may release harmful gases. Air pollution may cause such diseases as cancer and asthma. It also leads to polluted rain that can harm living things. __2__ Finally, air pollution damages the ozone layer (臭氧层), which is important because it protects Earth against harmful rays from the sun.
Causes of water pollution are easy to see. People dump (倾倒) garbage and dirty water into rivers, lakes and oceans. Factories or cities sometimes release poisonous chemicals, and other wastes into water. These chemicals may make the groundwater unfit to drink. __3__
