Practice makes perfect
Have you heard of the saying “practice makes perfect” It means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it. I was not very good at PE. With the teacher’s encouragement, I kept practicing. Now I have joined the Sports Club in our school.
If you want to improve your study and work, remember that the most important thing is how to put the knowledge you have learned into practice. For example, when learning a language, though you make full use of your talent, practice is necessary. If you only learn grammar rules by heart and don’t do enough exercises, it’s certain that you can’t understand the language perfectly. But if you really practice a lot, maybe you will understand it much better. In this way, you can apply what you have learned better.九年级（全） Units 1—2Ⅰ. 单项选择。

More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.
Bungee jumping(蹦极) and motorcycle(摩托车) race are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (带) tied to your legs. You fall down and the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,00,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.
Why do people join in these dangerous sports Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.
Nowadays many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

A mind map (思维导图) is basically a way that connects information you’ve learned. It can help you make a lot of knowledge to solve problems. A student recently said, “I thought a mind map would take a lot of time to do but in fact it saves me time. I don’t have to read my notes over and over again.” Now follow these steps for making wonderful mind maps.
Start in the center of a page. Why Because starting in the center lets your brain spread out in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.
Use a picture for your central idea. Why Because a picture is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. A central picture is more interesting. It helps get your attention and makes you work more excitedly!
Connect your main branches to the central picture and connect your second-and-third-level branches to the first-and-second-levels, etc. Why Because your brain works by connection. It likes to connect two, or three, or four things together.
If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
Use one key word every line. Why Because every key word can make you learn more clearly and easily. What’s more, it can also help you to remember the lines for a long time.
Use pictures as many as possible. Why Because each picture, just like the central picture, is also worth a thousand words. So, if you have 10 pictures in your mind map, they are already worth 10,000 words of notes.
Try to use more colors. Why Because colors are as exciting to your brain as pictures. Color adds great energy to your creative thinking, and is fun!
