Answer:
In Olen Steinhauer's bestseller The Tourist, reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver uncovered a conspiracy linking the Chinese government to the highest reaches of the American intelligence community, including his own Department of Tourism - the most clandestine department in the Company. The shocking blowback arrived in the Hammett Award-winning The Nearest Exit when the Department of Tourism was almost completely wiped out as the result of an even more insidious plot.
Following on the heels of these two spectacular novels comes An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer's most stunning thriller yet. With only a handful of "tourists" - CIA-trained assassins - left, Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life, a life focused on his family. His former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can't let it go. When Alan uses one of Milo's compromised aliases to travel to London and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to his actions, Milo can't help but go in search of him.
Worse still, it's beginning to look as if Tourism's enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal blow.
With An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer, by far the best espionage writer in a generation, delivers a searing international thriller that will settle once and for all who is pulling the strings and who is being played.
The next day, Mrs. Weera, Mother, and Nooria tell Parvana their plan: they’ll turn Parvana into a boy. Posing as their male cousin from Jalalabad, Parvana will be able to work and shop in the market. Nooria nastily says that no one will ask about Parvana, but Parvana knows it’s true—none of her friends have seen her since the Taliban closed the schools, and her relatives are scattered. Mother’s voice catches as she says that Parvana will wear Hossain’s clothes. Parvana says this won’t work since she has long hair, but Nooria pulls out the sewing kit and snaps the scissors open and closed. Parvana shrieks that they can’t cut her hair. She says they can cut Nooria’s hair, since Nooria is the oldest and it’s Nooria’s responsibility to look after her, but Nooria looks at her adult body and points out that no one will believe she’s a boy.
The suggestion that Parvana allow the adults to turn her into a boy is offensive to Parvana because in her mind, it means giving up everything she knows and loves about herself. Even if her hair isn’t as beautiful as Nooria’s, it’s still something that makes Parvana who she is. Further, the frantic suggestion that Nooria turn into a boy instead reveals that Parvana believes this is too much to ask. And indeed, it’s a lot of responsibility to place on an 11-year-old. But given the circumstances, there’s little else the family can do to make ends meet.

Parvana snaps that she’ll be curvy soon, but Mother heads off the fight by saying they’ll deal with that later. For now, the fact remains that Parvana is the only one who can play the part. Mrs. Weera says that this has to be Parvana’s decision. They can force her to cut her hair, but Parvana has to be willing and able to play the part in the market. Realizing that Mrs. Weera is right, Parvana agrees. Knowing it’s her choice makes it easier. Nooria announces that she’ll cut Parvana’s hair, but Mother takes the scissors and Hossain’s clothes and leads Parvana into the washroom. Parvana watches in the mirror as Mother cuts her hair off at her neck. Mother holds the chunk up and suggests they keep it tied with a ribbon, but Parvana refuses. Her hair doesn’t seem important anymore.
Mrs. Weera’s ability to present this to Parvana as a choice helps Parvana see that she does have a choice—and if she chooses not to play along, the fact remains that her family will starve. Knowing this, the choice becomes clear. And with that choice, the lopped-off hair comes to represent a younger, more immature version of Parvana. Cutting off her hair helps Parvana see that she can mold herself to become the kind of person she wants to be—and her willingness to agree to the plan suggests she wants to be someone who cares for her family and makes the necessary sacrifices to do so.

Mother continues to cut. Parvana starts to feel like a different person as her forehead gets bigger and her ears stick out. Her hair curls, and the short cut makes her eyes look bigger. Parvana decides she has a nice face. When Mother announces that she’s done, she leaves Parvana alone to change. Parvana rubs her hands over her head and decides she likes it. She pulls on Hossain’s pale green shalwar kameez. Though the trousers are too long, if she rolls them up they fit okay. The shirt has pockets, which is a nice change from girls’ clothes. When Mother asks if Parvana is finished, Parvana steps out. Maryam looks confused until she realizes it’s Parvana. Mother says “Hossain” and looks ready to cry, so Nooria insults Parvana as a distraction.
Simply experiencing what it’s like to wear boys’ clothes gives Parvana a sense of what’s possible now that people don’t see her as a girl. With pockets, she can carry money, candy, or whatever small items she finds—something she couldn’t do before. This gives her more control over how she conducts her life. It’s also telling that it’s only once her hair is gone that Parvana decides she has a nice face. This suggests that her hair and the immaturity it represented is what was holding her back before.

Mother hands Parvana a white cap with beautiful embroidery, gives Parvana money and a scarf, and then sends her out. Parvana reaches for her chador, but Nooria reminds her she won’t need it. Suddenly terrified that someone will recognize her, Parvana pleads with Mother to not force her to go out. Nooria nastily accuses Parvana of being scared, but Parvana spits that it’s easy to call her scared when Nooria is safe inside. Parvana slams the door on her way out.
Answer:
Exams are a word that stresses many students’ minds; whether it is weekly, end of the semester, or the end of the year exams, all students are stressed and need to install healthy routines to get a good grade. It is easy for us students to pick bad habits during this stressful time of exams, but making an effort to maintain healthy choices will help the student keep their stress levels to a minimum and achieve their best results come exam day.
One way to install healthy habits to decrease stress during exams is to minimize your hours on electronics or any other significant device you usually use for extended amounts of time during the week. This will take a lot of pressure off and allow you more time to study without needing late nights. Cutting back your hours on electronics may seem complicated, but you will have plenty more time for these activities once exams end.
Another important way to install healthy habits during exams is by eating a healthy and well-balanced diet. It is tempting to reach for snacks when studying, such as chips and chocolate, to see you through exams, but you will find it much easier to concentrate if you eat nutritional meals and healthy snacks. While the odd treat here and there is a good study reward, overloading on sugar will only leave you feeling tired afterward. It is also essential to make sure you eat a healthy meal on the day of your exam.
Many students fall into the trap of turning to drinks that will provide energy to help them study, such as coffee or energy drinks, but they should be avoided. You may think it will help you study into the night or pep you before an exam, but it’s more likely that you will crash.
Most importantly, do not sacrifice sleep for some late-night cramming; it is not a good habit to keep, even if you want to be more prepared for your exam. It’s unlikely that you will do your best and probably will not be able to concentrate because you feel exhausted.
For students to do their best on an exam and to decrease their stress levels, they need to implement healthy routines. Eating healthy is not the only essential habit that must occur, but also changing your sleep habit and not overdoing one's studying. They may only be heading towards a stressful time during their exams.
