How to Be a Better Student
Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, 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 set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. 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. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening 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, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about 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.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these.
31. The writer gives you _____ methods to help you in the passage.
A.four
B.five
C.six
D.seven
32. What should you do if you want to plan your time?
A.Make a schedule of your time.
B.Find a good study area.
C.Take advantage of class time.
D.Review the important points.
33. How can we remember what the teacher says?
A.By taking notes in class.
B.By concentrating on the subject.
C.By listening to everything.
D.By discussing with your classmates.
34. What is the purpose of a test according to the writer?
A.To help you solve some problems.
B.To make us become better students.
C.To discover if you are interested in a subject.
D.To show what you have learned about a subject.
Making mistakes is part of life. If you try to live a life without making mistakes, you'll probably never be able to leave your own home. Then you won't be leading a life at all.
The same rule applies (遵循) when learning a language. The only way to learn English without making mistakes is not to talk. But if you don't talk, you don't practice and don't learn.
I'm not condoning ignoring (忽视) grammar and vocabulary. Those are all very important. And if you notice the mistakes inside of those, you should try to correct them. But don't let fear of making a mistake keep you from talking. You have to break out of the fear. And you've to start making mistakes right now. Because not until you make mistakes can you correct them. And only when you correct them can you get better.
Remember you've to crawl (爬) before you can walk, you've to walk before you can run. So I want everyone to open up their mouths and start talking as much as possible, so that you can find out what your mistakes are, and then help yourself to talk better.
35. The writer tells us _____.
A.not to make any mistakes
B.not to leave home or we will make mistakes
C.it is impossible to live a life without making mistakes
D.there are too many mistakes in our life
36. The writer thinks in English study _____.

B.speaking-listening-reading
C.making mistakes-correcting mistakes-getting better
D.finding mistakes-speaking-getting better
