How to be self-disciplined students
Self-discipline is of great importance to us all. We must be strict with ourselves in our everyday lives. How we can be self-disciplined students is food for thought.
First of all, we should follow school rules and get on well with our classmates at school. Besides, we had better finish our homework on time and help our parents with housework at home. What’s more, it is a good idea to read more and play computer games less.
Self-discipline is good for us in many ways. It makes our life easier, happier and healthier. Our life and study are so well organized that we can save a lot of time. Additionally, being self-disciplined helps us prepare for a better and brighter future. Let’s take action and be self-disciplined students!2023-2024 学年度第一学期期末模拟测试卷九年级英语

You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to the movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move.
You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting is the way to go, . Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK, too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.
Why Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this text
To discuss two different study habits.
To compare the differences in their hobbies.
To show the importance of a good study habit.
To express the writer’s worry about their friendship.
What does the underlined word “focus” probably mean
A. receive B. avoid C. keep D. require
Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4
and they have difficulty in study
and it can be true for most of them
but that doesn’t seem necessarily true
but nobody does research on this question
What can we infer from the last paragraph
Students who like to study in silence will be more successful.
Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
What is the best title for the text
Are you studying in the “right” way
How can you improve your study habits
Is it possible for friends to study well together
What are the advantages of different study settings
