Top tips for finals week 考試周怎么過(guò)？

No one ever said finals week is easy. Late-night cramming accompanied by cup after cup of coffee can take its toll on your body, not to mention all of the test stress. But while you strive to review as many books as possible to prepare for your test, don’t forget your health. After all, if you’re sick and uncomfortable during your tests, every effort you’ve made might be in vain. Here are some tips on dieting, dressing and sleeping you can follow to stay energized as you wrangle your finals.

考試周對(duì)誰(shuí)都不是件容易的事：一杯又一杯地喝咖啡只為熬夜臨時(shí)抱佛腳，身體上早已筋疲力盡，更別提考試的精神壓力了。但是，復(fù)習(xí)誠(chéng)可貴，身體價(jià)更高。如果在考試時(shí)生病或是身體不適，之前付出的努力都白費(fèi)。為了讓大家活力滿滿地度過(guò)考試周，下面這些關(guān)于衣食睡眠的小貼士一定不能錯(cuò)過(guò)!

Food and drink

飲食

The most important thing to remember about eating and drinking is to do just that: eat and drink. It’s easy to forget in the midst of intense studying, but your brain needs sustenance if you have any hope of retaining information.

考試周關(guān)于飲食最重要的建議就是：該吃吃，該喝喝。高強(qiáng)度的學(xué)習(xí)很容易讓人忘記吃飯，但若想保證記憶力，你必須得給大腦補(bǔ)充營(yíng)養(yǎng)。

1. Eat healthily and regularly

按時(shí)吃、吃得好

Grabbing an Orion cake from the vending machine is tempting, but it’s important to stick to fresher, more nutritious foods. A banana or orange with some trail mix or yogurt will fill you up better than junk food. Don’t disrupt your food schedule too much and freak your body out. Eat a wholesome breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same times you always do.

自動(dòng)販賣機(jī)里的好麗友派也許充滿誘惑，但堅(jiān)持?jǐn)z入更新鮮、更有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的食物才是王道。一個(gè)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(guī)律，否則身體終會(huì)崩潰。早中晚飯的時(shí)間最好像往常一樣，注意合理飲食。

2. Avoid take-out and junk food

遠(yuǎn)離外賣和垃圾食品

It’s easy to chow down on greasy take-out and fast food sparingly. 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(jié)束后再獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)自己一頓大餐吧。

3. Stay hydrated

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(diǎn)。因?yàn)闆](méi)有什么比水更能讓你保持清醒和活力了。含糖飲料有害無(wú)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(wú)糖茶飲料，它們的補(bǔ)水能力都與直接喝水相差無(wú)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(guò)咖啡或功能飲料讓能量快速滿格，但是攝入太多會(huì)讓你感到焦慮、失眠、難以集中精力。尤其是考試時(shí)，切忌攝入咖啡因。
