　　Many students complain about learning English and they often fail in the exams．It's not that they don't want to learn it well, but that they don't know how they can learn it well and how they can pass the exams．Here are some suggestions from a teacher．

　　A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in a year．You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam．If you want to be good at English, you have to read stories in English．And speak English as much as possible．A few days before the exam, you should go to bed early．Do not go to bed late at night studying．Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question papers, and try to understand the exact meaning of each question．When you have finished your exam at last, read over your answers．Correct the mistakes if there are any, and make sure that you don't miss anything out．

　　The Mayan(瑪雅的)Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s．The Mayan achievements were many．They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings．The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them．This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding(值得的)．Knowledge about tools and farming, for example, made their work easier and more productive．

　　The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods．The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods．Skillful workers built cities around these temples．It was difficult for them to build these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with．Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves．Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing．

　　Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them．Usually, only the priests(牧師)lived in the cities．

　　The other people lived in small villages in the forests．Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate buildings in the cities．They lived in small huts(小屋)with no windows．The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves．Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature．

　　The Mayan priests studied the Sun, the Moon, stars, and planets．They made a calendar from what they learned．The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over．The Mayan calendar was far more exact than the European calendars of the time．

　　Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return．No one knows why this happened．They may have died from some disease．They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops．Archaeologists(考古學(xué)家)are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya．

　　When I was 14, I left school with learning disabilities and decided to surf the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii．One morning, I met an old man, a bum(流浪漢), on the street comer．He asked me if I was running away from home．I told him, “Not exactly, sir．”

　　After talking a while, he told me that he had something to show me and share with me．We walked several blocks until we came upon the downtown Public Library．

　　The bum asked me to sit down and wait a moment．Later he returned with some books, and then said, “I want to teach you two things．Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover fools you．I'll bet you think I'm a bum, don't you? ”

　　I said, “I guess so, sir．”

　　“Well, young man, I've got a little surprise for you．I am one of the wealthiest(富有的)men in the world．But a year ago, when my wife passed away, I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets．For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that．Number two is to learn how to read, for there is only one thing that people can't take away from you, and that is your wisdom(智慧)．”At that moment, he gave me the books he'd pulled from the shelves．His parting request(請(qǐng)求)was for me to never forget what he taught me．I have remembered until today．
