第三部分、书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节：阅读表达（共1小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）。阅读下面短文，根据文章内容及题目要求回答问题。

• 10．It is normal to feel worried and stressed during an exam period.Exams show progress，and failing could mean falling behind in the same course or subject.That is why most people can understand your anxiety around the exam period.However，too much worrying could be the start of failure.Here are some tips to help you stay positive.
      From attending classes to completing homework，the period leading to an exam is always a difficult process.This is why preparing well for the exam is key to ensure your efforts do not go fruitless.Going through practice questions beforehand never disappoints for any exam.For example，if you are a physician preparing for the USMLE exam，you could check for the USMLE practice questions before the real exam time just to familiarize yourself with the exam.By so doing，you are more guided on how and where exactly to review.
      Although some exam are important and could determine the future of your academic life，it cannot determine your whole life.You might have done a thorough revision but sill，the first paper ended up extremely tough for you.At this point，you can only keep a hopeful mind that the next one will be easier and that you will do better.
      It can be rally motivating for you to know that you have something positive coming up right after going through a difficult exam time.Being able to plan for a trip or buy yourself a gift after an exam is awesome enough.The fact that you are able to face the exams should be encouraging enough and you should appreciate yourself for it.
      Exams times are temporary（暂时的）and they are usually for a good course.In any case，you will only be dealing with the exams for a short time and so you should put all your time and energy there.
  
  （1）According to the passage，why is it understandable to be anxious around the exam period？

  
  （2）What does the author advise us to do when the first paper is rather difficult？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  ✧It is encouraging for you to know that something good will happen when you achieve expected results.

  
  （4）Please briefly present your ways to stay positive during an exam period. （In about 40 words）
