4 . After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.

Go to class.

If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you’ll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.     1    

Take good notes.

Try not to write down everything.     2     Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.

    3    

If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy(同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.

Take part in class discussions.

In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your focus during the class discussion.     4     This helps you make your point clear in class.

Form study groups.

Get students together who want to do well in class. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it.     5     Sometimes group sessions(上课时间)can become chatting sessions

A．But be careful!

B．Don’t be late for your class．

C．Talk to your teacher if you need help．

D．You should write down all the new terms．

E．So if you want to study well, go to every class．

F．All you need is to put down the main points in your own words．

G．In order to learn more in classit is helpful to take part in class discussions

6 . How to deal with your homework

Write it down.     1     Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.

Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to do your homework.     2     It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出) your computer (unless you need it for your homework) and close the door.

Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute.     3     The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of ( 一 堆 ) homework the next day.

    4     Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.

Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break (no more than 15 minutes). Either taking a walk or finding something to eat will do. But do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back to your study.     5    

A．Use your time wisely.

B．Start as soon as you get home.

C．Start with your hardest homework.

D．Do not burn the midnight oil, either.

E．Never do your homework in front of the TV.

F．After short breaks, return to finish the rest of your homework.

G．Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework.

7 . How to prepare for an exam is a big question that you always ask yourself. Here are some tips that may help you.

Never fear or hate exam and be confident.

Some students study well but still may be much afraid of exams and due to this reason they get upset and won’t be able to get marks.    1    You have to be confident and it is of great help for you to gain success.

Prepare a good timetable.

Prepare a timetable before starting the study.    2    Difficult subjects can be given more time and easier ones less, but most importantly you should spare some time for rest.

Select a proper atmosphere for studying.

Studying atmosphere plays a very important role.    3    So pick a place where you feel comfortable. That is where you feel relaxed and can pay attention to what you are doing. Make sure that while you are studying a subject you are focusing on it only. So keep the books of other subjects away from your eyesight so that you won’t be upset about all the things you have to learn.

Make notes while studying.

This is a very important point. While studying, make small notes. The note should be short and clear to make the review easier.    4    Yet don’t try to cover everything in it.

    5    

On the night before exam you have to sleep well, at least 6 hours and not more than 8 hours. Remember this will have a great effect on your exam. And have your food as in your daily diet.

A．Sleep well and eat well.

B．So try to present answers in points.

C．This should include all the subjects.

D．Can anyone study well while others around are watching TV?

E．A good note shall include the most important points.

F．This will be of great use to your coming exams.

G．So leave all your fears and free your mind before starting the study.

8 . 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 doctor’s degree! If you’re also crazy about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. 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 youthful characteristics of humans being remained into adulthood. One of these characteristics is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are close to us, like primates (灵长类), can’t do this and only learn during their youthhood.

But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this? Educational experts have suggested that if an idea is too dull or too difficult to understand, it becomes harder to connect old and new ideas together. If that is the case, we lose interest and take in less information. This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.

So, don’t let a negative educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve?

1. Why does the author mention “Michael Nicholson” in paragraph 1?

A．To lead to a topic.	B．To introduce a figure.
C．To present a rule.	D．To raise a question.

2. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Humans can be lifelong learners.

B．Creatures like primates can’t learn.

C．Humans are born to know the world.

D．Creatures have different learning abilities.

3. What may kill humans passion for later learning according to the text?

A．Less learning opportunities.

B．Old memories of school days.

C．Ways to connect old and new ideas.

D．Bad education experiences when young.

4. What does the author intend to do by writing this text?

A．To praise people who can’t stop learning.

B．To make it clear to people what is a philomath.

C．To explain why some people don’t like studying.

D．To encourage people to be passionate in learning.

9 . A pile of homework can seem frightening, but it can be done if you make a plan. Here are some tips to help you.

 Create a checklist of the tasks you have. Before diving in, make a list of all the things you need to do for your homework.    1     The satisfaction of checking things off will keep you happy to continue.

 Solve the hardest homework first. Your first thought might be to put off the most difficult homework. If you get the hard stuff out of the way when you’re most alert, however,it will be easier to get through the rest of the pile.     2    

 Ask for help if you get stuck. If you come to a part of your homework that you don’t know how to do, ask a family member to help you.     3     With a little help, you can quickly move on to the next thing.

 Make a homework schedule.     4     If you set a schedule, then you’ll be prepared and know exactly what to do. This will also keep you from feeling guilty about putting homework off.

     5     If everyone in your group is serious about getting homework done, this can be great. You can help each other out with assignments, and quiz each other to prepare for exams.

A．Establish a study group.

B．Take a break now and then.

C．That way, you won’t get discouraged.

D．As you complete each task, cross it off your list.

E．Try to do your homework at the same time each day.

F．Write down all the reasons why you really need to do your homework.

G．Make a plan to finish your work bit by bit, saving the easiest tasks for last.
