3 . When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could _______ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he _______ in class. When I took the first exam, I was _______ to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was my best subject.

I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained _______. I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that means _______ school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I _______ with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened _______ but wouldn’t change his mind. One more test before the final exam.

5 . Do you want to be at the top of your class? Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!

    1       I cannot stress (强调) enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.

Taking notes is important. You don’t need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he/ she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test.     2    This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.

Don’t skip school (逃学)     3     It is true that you could make up the work. However, you will have more work because you have missed lectures and in-class activities. Also, try not to be late for class. It’s most likely that your teachers won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.

    4     If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems. The same goes for a lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.

Always ask questions.      5     If you don’t understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, ect. Get a tutor if you need one.

A．Hold on to it.

B．Write in your own words.

C．Staying organized will be helpful.

D．You will be missing something out.

E．Keep a good attitude towards things.

F．There is no shame in asking for help.

G．Pay attention to everything the teacher says.

6 . Are you the kind of person who hated school? Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate!     1     The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.

Humans are all philomaths to an extent – our brain is born to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the teenage characteristics of some animals, including humans, being preserved into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible.     2     While creatures like monkeys can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.

But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it.     3     Why is this? Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together.     4     This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.   

    5     Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve?

A．Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless.

B．Because of this trait, our brains are able to recognize different shapes.

C．If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information.

D．If you’re also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath.

E．Many students think it is inspiring to learn something about “philomath”.

F．So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.

G．This gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives.
