Ⅰ.阅读理解
On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was.And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either! Besides that，I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load(工作量) and size of the school.I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before，gotten an A，and not remembered anything later.I’ve changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more.Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they’re also around in high school.I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend.If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you’re applying for college.The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all.It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but don’t follow their footsteps.Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.
1．The author advises high school students to .
A．get ready for tests the night before
B．give up sports
C．choose useful classes
D．try their best to get good grades
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful！”可知，作者建议高中生要选择有用的课程。故选C。
2．The text is probably written by .
A．a high school student
B．a chemistry teacher
C．a college student
D．a sports player

3．The last paragraph mainly tells us .
A．about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking
B．not to go to any parties in high school
C．not to lose ourselves in high school
D．about the importance of making friends
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools”和“If you have ‘fun’ and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you’re applying for college.”可知，本段主要讲述了吸烟喝酒所带来的麻烦。故选A。
Ⅱ.完形填空
I can still remember one of the first times someone changed my world.She was a music teacher at my elementary school and the 1 at our church.I had a strong feeling of love on her too and wanted to 2 her more than anything.I had no 3 at any instrument，however.My singing while enthusiastic was quite 4 .One day she let me try playing her guitar.I did my best 5 could only stumble(不流畅地演奏) along.When I was 6 I put my head down.“I guess I am not very 7 ，” I told her.She looked at me with her kind eyes， 8 ，and said，“We are all good at something.You just need to 9 what you are good at.Then you can 10 it with the world.”
Those simple words changed me.They 11 a seed in my soul that continues to grow to this day.They made me 12 that I had something to give to others.I had something 13 me that was good and that could change this world for the better.I just had to find it， 14 it out and share it.And that is what I have tried to do all of the years since that 15 day.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
What you do after studying could play a big part in how well you learn and remember.Today on Education Tips，we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning：“wakeful rest” and sleep.
When many students finish studying，they often go straight to another activity.Perhaps they look at their phone or computer.They might even play a video game or watch television.But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this：by stopping your activity after the study，your brain gets a chance to rest.Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you，many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—which is called “wakeful rest”．
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing “wakeful rest”．
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try，here are a few simple things to do.Rest quietly for five to ten minutes.Do not look at your phone，read stories or play games.It is really that easy!
Besides “wakeful rest”，sleep is also important for learning.The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School(HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways.A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived(剥夺) person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”．It also says，“Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”
The National Sleep Foundation(NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day.Teenagers may need a little bit more，and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study.Then try to get a good night’s sleep.That’s it—a simple，no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
1．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The importance of sleep.
B．The good ways to get a rest.
C．The reason for having a rest.
D．The types of resting activities.
答案 C
解析 段落大意题。根据第三段第一句可知，第三段的主要内容是休息的原因。故选C。
2．Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying
A．Reading a newspaper.
B．Playing a video game.
C．Sitting there doing nothing.
D．Having a nice sleep at night.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句和第六段可知，学习之后应该“坐在那里什么也不做”，即“清醒式休息”。故选C。
3．How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF
A．Less than 7 hours.
B．Just 7 hours.
C．No more than 9 hours.
D．Around 9 hours.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，根据国家睡眠基金会的说法，青少年每天的睡眠时间应稍微多于成人的7－9小时，所以9小时左右是青少年合理睡眠时间。故选D。
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Low-cost Tips on Working
B．What to Do after Your Study
C．Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep
D．How Long Should We Rest after Learning
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段可知，文章主要介绍了一种名为“清醒式休息”的休息方式，除了“清醒式休息”，睡眠对学习也很重要。由此可知，B项是对文章内容最好的概括。故选B。
Ⅱ.完形填空

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As today’s high schoolers are facing too much homework，sports teams and clubs and high-rising college costs，many people are rethinking the idea of high schoolers working.Are there still benefits of having a job in high school The answer is yes.
When I was 14 years old，my mother suggested that I get a job in order to pay for college.Unhappy with my sporadic(零星的) babysitting work，I told my mother that，no matter what job I got，I’d never be able to cover college costs on a high school worker’s pay.
My mother smiled and told me that there were plenty of other reasons why I should get a job apart from just the paycheck(工资支票)．So I found myself finally accepting a job as a swim instructor and lifeguard at my town’s public pool.I ended up working part-time at the pool through all four years of high school.
Not everything about the job was marvelous.Actually，there were times I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and lecturing kids on their bad manners，but，like my mother said，I got many other benefits from the job besides the paycheck.
At my job，I made lots of new friends，more than I had made in high school.I also learnt lots of skills including CPR(心肺复苏法) training.I was also able to use my work experience to stand out from other job applicants in college and get a paid research job as a freshman in college.
For many high school students，there are many benefits of having a job.Not only will high school jobs give you a way to make some money，meet new people，and develop some skills，you can also use your teenage jobs to get yourself a better job in college.

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future，” say education and business experts.Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925，we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape.Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.But his boss told him not to think more about the idea.Finally，using his own time，Drew improved the tape，which now is used everywhere by many people.And his former company learned from its mistake.Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with，nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence.The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively.Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately，schools have not tried to encourage creativity.With strong attention to test results and the development of reading，writing and mathematical skills，many educators give up creativity for correct answers.The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations.They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices.From the earliest age，children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results.Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch，decision-making helps thinking skills.As children grow older，parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money.This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
5．What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A．It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B．People should be discouraged to think freely.
C．People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D．It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.”可知，德鲁曾经工作过的公司从错误中学到了鼓励人们花一些工作时间考虑和发展新想法。故选D项。
6．What can we know from the passage about creativity
A．It is something that most people are born with.
B．It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C．It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D．It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.”可知，创造力是一种利用已拥有的资源解决新问题的方法。故选C项。
7．Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity
A．They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B．They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C．They pay no attention to examination marks.
D．They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可推知学校不鼓励创造力是因为它们不重视创造性教育。故选A项。
8．What should parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A．Allow them to have a try.
B．Try to help them as much as possible.
C．Take no notice of whatever they do.
D．Order them to spend the least money.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As children grow older，parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money.”可知A选项“Allow them to have a try.”正确。故选A项。
Ⅱ.七选五
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit，and it is also bad for your grade.Being focused in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself，which will be very important.
1 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class，try your best to avoid them.Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class.This will get you into trouble.
Look at the teacher and make eye contact.Your teacher is not just standing up there talking. 2 Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye.This person should have your full attention at all times during class.
Take notes.By taking notes，you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson.Write down key points as your teacher speaks.And listen to the key phrases such as “This is important”“This is the main idea”“This will be in the test” etc. 3
Get involved in class discussions.This is a wonderful way to become a more focused，successful student.When a teacher asks a question，offer to answer it. 4 This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class.
Ask a question. 5 This really shows your teacher that you want to be better，and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with.Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question(and was too afraid to ask！)．They’ll be relieved，and so will you.
A．Avoid sitting with friends.
B．This can help you listen more attentively.
C．If he or she asks for an opinion，share your own.
D．Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class.
E．He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education.
F．The more quickly you answer，the more attention you pay.
G．If you don’t understand something，never be afraid to ask.
1．答案 A
解析 设空处为本段的主题句。从内容上看，本段主要讲课堂上尽量不要与朋友坐在一起，因为与周围的朋友交谈会分散注意力。A项(避免和朋友坐在一起)符合题意，故选A。
2．答案 E
解析 根据本段主题句“Look at the teacher and make eye contact.”可知，要跟老师进行眼神交流。设空处顺接上文，进一步说明课堂上老师不仅仅是在讲话，他们其实是在努力让自己的课程得到学生的接受，故选E。
3．答案 B
解析 根据本段主题句可知本段主题为“做笔记”，再根据设空处上文可知，课堂上要记笔记，记下老师所讲的重点，设空处置于段尾，总结上文说明这样做的好处，即有利于更专心地听讲，选项B符合语境，故选B。
4．答案 C
解析 本段主题是要加入课堂讨论，即当老师提出问题时，要主动回答。如果他或她想知道大家的观点，要敢于分享自己的想法，故选C。
5．答案 G
解析 从内容上看，本段主要讲课堂上要敢于问问题，选项G承接主题句，引起下一句“This really shows your teacher that you want to be better，and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with.”，故选G。Period 3 Grammar and usage [语法精练]

My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future.I was in the classrooms，but I wasn’t there to learn to write，read or even speak.When it was my turn to read，I wanted to hide.I was 13 years old，but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher，Mr Creech，who knew I couldn’t read.In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up.I felt so embarrassed.But at the same time，it made me realize that I needed to change the situation.I was determined it wouldn’t happen again.Later that day，Mr Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read.From then on，I never gave up practicing reading.
Now I am 41 years old.One day，I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family.On my way from the airport，I saw Mr Creech buying himself a drink.I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him.“Do I know you？” he asked.“Yes，sir，you do know me，” I answered excitedly.“My name is Anthony Hamilton.You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“I’m so glad I have a chance to see you，” I said.“And Mr Creech，I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read.But that wasn’t all.I had become a published author and an active speaker.“The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom，please encourage him to read as well，” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name：dyslexia(诵读困难症)．But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.

Ⅱ.完形填空
When I first entered university，my aunt，who is an English professor，gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it.I was 1 to see that it was an English-English dictionary，also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary.Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners，none of my classmates had one and，to be honest，I found it extremely 2 to use at first.I would 3 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings.I was used to the 4 English-Chinese dictionaries，in which the words are 5 both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 6 to make things so difficult for me.Now，I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 7 in learning a foreign language.
As I 8 ，there is，in fact，often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 9 in two languages.My aunt even 10 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 11 meaning of the word in English！Therefore，she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 12 of its meaning.Gradually，I have come to see what she 13 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) 14 number of words，around 2,000，in its definitions.When I read these definitions，I am 15 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.Because of this，I can express myself more easily in English.

解析 difficult困难的；interesting有趣的；important重要的；practical实用的。作者开始使用英英词典，不习惯，且下文“but still could not fully understand the meanings”提到并不能完全理解意思，应是感觉用起来困难。故选A项。
3．A.look over B．look up
C．take down D．take up
答案 B
解析 look over检查；look up查阅；take down记下；take up从事，占据。根据下文“words in the dictionary”可知，作者会在词典中查阅词汇。故选B项。
4．A.new B．familiar
C．informed D．confusing
答案 B
解析 new新的；familiar熟悉的；informed有学问的；confusing令人困惑的。be used to表示“习惯于……”，根据语境可知，对作者来说应是习惯了“熟悉的”双语词典。故选B项。
5．A.explained B．expressed
C．described D．created
答案 A
解析 explain解释；express表达；describe描述；create创建。根据常识可知，在词典中单词的意思是被“解释”出来的，所以用explain。故选A项。
6．A.appreciation B．courage
C．advice D．power
答案 C
解析 appreciation欣赏，鉴赏；courage勇气；advice建议；power力量。根据语境可知，作者过去纳闷姑妈为什么给这样的建议。故选C项。
7．A.more natural B．better
C．more convenient D．easier
答案 B
解析 more natural更自然的；better更好的；more convenient更方便的；easier更容易的。此句中是把单语词典与双语词典作比较，经过使用作者发现单语词典效果更好。better强调更好，更实用，故选B项。
8．A.checked out B．broke down
C．found out D．turned up
答案 C
解析 check out检出，检查；break down崩溃，破坏；find out发现，查明；turn up出现。正如作者发现的，事实上，两种语言中的两个词之间往往没有完美的对应关系。故选C项。
9．A.words B．names
C．ideas D．characters
答案 A
解析 word单词；name名字；idea想法；character特点，字符。从下文的“姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语‘单词’的确切意思”可知，是“两种语言之间的两个单词没有完全的对应”。故选A项。
10．A.hoped B．declared
C．complained D．dreamt
答案 B
解析 hope希望；declare声明；complain抱怨；dream做梦。根据语境可知，姑妈甚至还“声称”汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的“确切”意思。故选B项。
11．A.exact B．basic
C．translated D．expected
答案 A
解析 exact确切的；basic基本的；translated翻译的；expected期望的。参见上题解析。故选A项。
12．A.understanding B．practice
C．expression D．consideration
答案 A
解析 understanding理解；practice实践；expression表达；consideration考虑。根据句意可知，姑妈坚持让作者在想更好地理解某个单词的词义时，读英英词典的单词释义。故选A项。
13．A.wanted B．preferred
C．meant D．suffered
答案 C
解析 want想要；prefer偏好，选择；mean意思是；suffer忍受，患病。根据上文“she insisted that I read the definition of a word”可知是“意思是”。故选C项。
14．A.extra B．average
C．total D．limited
答案 D
解析 extra额外的；average平均的；total总的；limited有限的。从后面的around 2,000可知，词典中用于解释词义的词量是有限的。故选D项。
15．A.repeatedly B．nearly
C．immediately D．anxiously
答案 A
解析 repeatedly反复地；nearly将近；immediately立即；anxiously焦急地。在有限的范围内查阅释义，就会反复接触基本词汇并学会用这些词汇解释事物和观点，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”。故选A项。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了用英语写日记对于提高英语写作水平有很大益处。
1．答案 useful
解析 考查形容词。修饰名词ways用形容词。useful ways “有用的方法”。
2．答案 Compared
解析 考查非谓语动词。compared with“与……相比”，是固定用法，常在句子中作状语。注意首字母大写。
3．答案 If
解析 考查连词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处应用if引导条件状语从句。注意首字母大写。
4．答案 ourselves
解析 考查反身代词。express oneself“表达自己”，是固定短语，所以填反身代词ourselves。
5．答案 the
解析 考查冠词。first前用定冠词the。in the first place是固定短语，意为“首先”。
6．答案 finding
解析 考查非谓语动词。have trouble (in) doing sth.“做某事有麻烦/困难”，是固定句式。
7．答案 properly
解析 考查副词。修饰动词短语put them into English应用副词。
8．答案 suggestion
解析 考查名词。空前有形容词性物主代词，所以要填名词suggestion；再由is可知要用单数形式。
9．答案 troubles
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。结合全文的基本时态可知，此处应用一般现在时；又因空处主语为不定代词something，故填troubles。
10．答案 of
解析 考查介词。“be of＋名词”是固定用法，其意义相当于该名词的同根形容词；be of great use＝be greatly/very useful。Unit 1 Back to school 单元检测卷(一)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You may not know a lot of people when you start high school.Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school.Even if you know other freshmen(新生)，you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen.How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation(迎新会) before school actually starts.These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the buildings and get to meet some of your teachers，but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen.That way，when you show up on your first day of school，you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation，you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are.They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect.Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about.The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school，giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects.So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging.If you ever find your work too difficult，teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more after-school activities than middle school does，such as clubs，music and theater groups and sports teams.This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Middle school taught you the basics of academics，time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance.High school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.
1．According to the passage，when they come to the school on the first day freshmen usually feel .

B
Sure，it’s good to get along well with your teachers because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes，it’s good to get along well with your teachers because，in general，it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
In fact，kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more，but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school issues(问题)．
Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers In fact，teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(个性冲突)，which can happen between any two people.If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better，he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.By dealing with a problem like this，you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However，if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite，you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially .Here are some of those responsibilities：
Attend class ready to learn.
Be prepared for class with the right stationery，books，and completed assignments(作业)．
Listen when your teacher is talking.
Do your best，whether it’s a classroom assignment，homework，or a test.

A．the happy time you have in the classroom
B．getting along very well with classmates
C．a better relationship between you and your teachers
D．the disappearance of personality differences

解析 代词指代题。结合画线词所在句来看，that是指“to make the situation better”；本段讲述的是师生之间有了个性冲突后学生该如何做，由此判断出C项正确。
7．Which of the following can be filled in the blank
A．if you fulfill(履行) your basic responsibilities as a student
B．if you are thought of as a good student
C．if you know some basic social skills
D．if you are easy-going and helpful

B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.
C．Studying skills for students.
D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit，and why Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities，but has a great influence on their school performance.Generally speaking，students show different attitudes depending on where they sit.Based on the research，scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的) model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.
In this model，the mouth of the funnel(A) is the best position for learning.Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners.They show a greater desire(渴求) for learning，which leads them to focus better and take a more active part than the rest of the class.Those in the neck of the funnel(B) don’t pay the same close attention，but they ask a lot of questions，partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone，with others around them.Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel(C，D)”， which refers to the side and the back rows，where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention，falling asleep at times.
Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students.In fact，a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans，such as “U-Type”．There are no side and back areas，so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction(互动)．
1．According to scientists，students’ learning is greatly influenced by .
A．the number of students
B．the time of class
C．seating positions
D．the size of the classroom
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句和第一段最后一句中“...see the relationship between seating and active learning”可知，科学家发现学生的在校表现受到座位的影响。
2．It turns out that the students sitting in Area B .
A．sometimes fall asleep
B．feel safe and confident
C．seldom ask their teachers questions

Ⅱ.七选五
1 You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so，however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here’s how：
Plan your time carefully.When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc.Then decide a good，regular time for studying. 2 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials.No games，radios，or television.When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. 3 Listening carefully in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.When you get home from school，go over your notes，preview the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day，and read that material. 4 If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you’ll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test，so don’t be over worried.
5 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A．There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
