Food and drink 飲食
The most important thing to remember about eating and drinking is to do just that: eat and drink. Its easy to forget in the midst of intense studying, but your brain needs sustenance if you have any hope of retaining memory.
考試周關于飲食最重要的建議就是:該吃吃,該喝喝。高強度的學習很容易讓人忘記吃飯,但若想保證記憶力,你必須給大腦補充營養。
1. Eat healthily and regularly
吃得健康和規律
Grabbing an Orion cake from the vending machine is tempting, but its important to stick to fresher, more nutritious foods. A banana or an orange with some trail mix or yogurt will fill you up better than junk food. Dont disrupt your food schedule too much and freak your body out. Eat a wholesome breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time you always do.
自動販賣機里的好麗友派也許充滿誘惑,但堅持攝入更新鮮、更有營養的食物才是王道。一個香蕉或是橘子,搭配一包什錦果仁或是酸奶要比垃圾食品更好。不要打亂自己的飲食規律,否則身體終會崩潰。早中晚飯的時間最好像往常一樣,注意合理飲食。
2. Avoid take-out and junk food
遠離外賣和垃圾食品
Its easy to chow down on greasy take-out and fast food in finals week. But it could also leave you feeling uneasy in the end. Instead, reward yourself once finals are over.
考試周很容易吃很多油膩的外賣或是快餐。但這些食物越吃越難受。不如等到考試周結束后再獎勵自己吧。
3. Drink more water
多喝水
Drink plenty of water, and then drink some more. Nothing else will help your mind stay clear and keep your energy levels high. Sugary soft drinks will do no good. Spice up your water with fruits like lemon, or swap it for unsweetened flavorful tea, which rehydrates just as well as water.
喝足夠的水,最好多喝一點。因為沒有什么比水更能讓你保持清醒和活力了。含糖飲料有害無益。你也可以在水里泡些水果比如檸檬,或者把含糖飲料換成無糖茶飲料,它們的補水能力都與直接喝水相差無幾。
4. Moderate caffeine intake from coffee and energy drinks
咖啡因和功能飲料攝入要適量
Everyone could use a quick energy boost, but too big of a buzz could leave you feeling anxious, unable to sleep or focus. The last place you need to experience caffeine withdrawal is in the middle of your exam.
人人都能通過咖啡或功能飲料讓能量快速滿格,但是攝入太多會讓你感到焦慮、失眠、難以集中精力。尤其是考試時,切忌攝入咖啡因。
Dressing 穿衣
In addition to eating and drinking, its also important how you dress for exams.
除了飲食,考試期間的穿著也很重要。
1. Prepare thick clothes
備件厚衣
As temperatures and humidity rise, youll want to stick to something short-sleeved as a top, whether its a flowing graphic tank top or a comfy T-shirt. That said, it could get chilly in the café or exam room if the air conditioner is cranked up to compensate for the weather outside. Be sure to throw your favorite hoodie or oversized cardigan into your bag to make sure youre not shivering by the time you get to question.
隨著溫度和濕度的上升,你也許一直穿著短袖上衣,要么是無袖背心,要么是休閑T恤,但是為了抵御室外高溫,咖啡館或是自習室的空調往往溫度開得很低,很容易因此著涼。所以,放一件你最愛的衛衣或是大號的開衫在包里,以免你在做題時凍得瑟瑟發抖。
2. Stay cozy
