When Betty was a child, she often went to the city park and played with her friends. On a sunny morning, when Betty came to the park with her mom, she looked around and felt very unhappy.

“What’s the matter, dear? What’s wrong with you?” asked her mom. Betty replied, “Mom, how beautiful and clean it used to be! But now there’s so much trash on the ground.”

Betty’s mom looked around. There was paper, boxes, glass bottles and a lot of other trash everywhere.

“What can we do?” asked Betty sadly.

“I’m sure you will think of something,” said her mom.

As soon as Betty and her mom went home, Betty painted a picture of the park and wrote sign in large black letters at the top of the picture. The sign read “PLEASE KEEP OUR PARK CLEAN”. Later, she took plenty of bags and went back to the park with her mom. Betty put up her picture on a big trash can (垃圾桶).

“Will you help me pick up the trash, Mom?” Betty said as she handed her mom a bag.

“I surely will,” replied her mom smilingly.

The children in the park ran over to see what was going on. Betty handed them each a bag. “Let’s clean this place up,” said Betty. Then they began to pick up the trash, talking and laughing. Soon all the bags were full.

“We need to come back another day. There’s still some trash on the ground, but the park looks much better,” said Betty.

Her mom said, “So it does. I knew you would think of a way to help.”

No one is born to know how to study. You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them.     16    

●Prepare Before Class

Before class starts, try looking over your homework, reading your textbook, or looking at the notes you’ve taken before.     17     Preparing everything you’ll need in class can also help. This will cut down on distractions (分散注意力的事物), like needing to borrow a pencil.

●Take Notes

    18     Start by writing down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the blackboard using class. Try your best to use good handwriting so that you can read your notes later. It’s also a good idea to keep your notes, tests, and papers organized by subjects.

●Plan Ahead

Do you wait until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test?     19     We all regret putting things off sometimes. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Ask for a calendar and write down the due dates of your tests and homework. You can then plan how much to do each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.

●Break It Up

When there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts.     20     Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word parts and working on one or two different parts each night.
