【推荐3】There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class.    1    .

Here are some habits of top students that you can use as tips to do better at school:

First,    2    . In college, homework assignments generally make up 5-20% of your grade, but can be the biggest time- suck for most students. Working problems is one of the best ways to turn new concepts into working knowledge, but you’ll never see on an exam a large majority of those problems that take you hours and hours to work through.

Second, they never “read through” the textbook. Per time spent, reading the textbook is one of the least effective methods for learning new materials.    3    , but otherwise use Google, lecture notes, and old exams for study materials.

Third, they test themselves frequently. Testing yourself strengthens your brain’s connections to new materials.         4    . Bottom line, repeated self-testing significantly improve long-term memory of new materials.

Last, they study in short bursts, not long marathons. Studying in short burst tends to help you focus strongly because you know there is at least a short break coming.    5    , which makes studying continuously for multiple hours on end.

A．It helps relax our mind.

B．they always focus on their homework

C．they don’t always do all of their homework

D．Top students use examples and practice problems

E．This also fits in nicely with our natural activity or rest cycle of our bodies

F．It gives you immediate and clear feedback on whether you know something or not

G．An accumulation of such habits can combine to produce high-level academic performance

【推荐2】Four Goals for Perfect Life

Healthy and Fit

The first goal common to all of us is health and energy.     1    Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan(寿命), is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.

Excellent Relationships

    2    Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.

Do What You Love

The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it.     3    You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.

    4    

The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence.     5    You want to be completely free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without using the price listings to determine what you want to eat.

A．You don’t want to get the job.

B．Achieve Financial Independence

C．Money is the most important.

D．You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again.

E．You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster.

F．The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships — intimate, personal or social — with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn.

G．We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness.

【推荐3】As a saying goes, “Don’t use a lot where a little will do.” I recently saw a reality show about helping change struggling restaurants. An expert came in to help save a family business, and in the process helped the owners rebuild their relationships and their lives. In the beginning, the expert suggested the family reduce their menu from multiple pages to just one. They originally created a long list of selections because they thought this created more value. But in many instances, less is more.

This is a big part of the philosophy（哲学）behind the website—Tiny Buddha. I publish one post from the community every day, which allows me to spend a great deal of time with writers. Traditional wisdom of the web suggests that more content（内容）leads to more page views, which eventually creates a successful site. Yet I've found the opposite is true.

Having a lower quantity allows more time to focus on quality, and also allows more time for connection through comments. In this way, it’s not about building a large community; it’s about developing and improving an engaged（使用中）one. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no greater success than that. Regardless of your project or dream, the “less is more” philosophy can go a long way in creating value and enabling progress.

You may not have a large number of hours to commit, but this means you are encouraged to decide which of your goals is in the first place, and that just may help you focus and become more effective. You may not have many resources, but this means your passion and purpose may be your greatest possession, and there’s no limit to what you can achieve when you devote yourself to something that moves and inspires you. You may not have countless readers or customers, but this means you can focus on providing excellent service, which can be far more valuable than dozens of cursory（粗略的）connections.

Most importantly, when we focus on doing less and doing it well, we are more attentive. And really, isn’t that what we want? It’s not just the goals and the outcomes we imagine; it’s the happiness and satisfaction we imagine we'll experience when we get there. It may be the biggest advantage to do less: we create more space to enjoy those things now.
