Answer 1

(1)	作者認為得分如同游戲，所以一旦你想出策略就可以得高分。once意思是：一旦。
(2)	open up(使)展現；提供一切都可以提供了。
(3)	be admitted to入學。由于成績好，所以可以上大學，拿獎學金等。
(4)	更不用說父母及老師的贊美了。not to mention更不用提。
(5)	at times：sometimes意思是有時。前面的but表示意思的轉折。
(6)	hit and miss是短語，意思是：胡亂地；不管成功否。
(7)	測試的技巧，所以選art。
(8)	recall回憶所知道的東西，因為有壓力、緊張，所以需要更多的時間和改變方法。
(9)	根據第一句話中出現的success可以推知。成為學校認為的成功者就要了解學校的一切。所以選success意思是：成功者。
(10)	既然是成功者那么就要做對自己有利的事，所以選advantages, to one's advantage對某人有利/益。
(11)	即使學生意識不到這一點，其實他們中許多人已經這樣做了。所以選realizing。
(12)	高分還取決于知曉各個老師的性格特點。和on搭配，用depend。
(13)	曾經，這里用來舉例子。
(14)	in between classes課間，指課間和老師談話。
(15)	夸獎老師好。
(16)	沒聽你的課就要畢業了有點遺憾，所以選without，后面要接動名詞。
(17)	撒謊。結果起作用了。所以用：It worked。
(18)	句中出現的and說明是遞進關系。所以意思應該是：我在此之前認為化學老師有同情心。的確是這樣。所以用he was，表示事實。
(19)	part of grade game，在game中當然用part。
(20)	注意理解本句的含義：后面的不定式作目的狀語。可以簡寫為：We're pushed into playing the game．。
