Habits of highly successful students Never over-study

  When you spend too much time studying you will quickly lose focus and the time spent in studying will become "junk time". You think you're studying but you're just sitting there rereading the same sentence about 100 times and you're not getting anything. Instead, take regular breaks. 5 Be?sides, it will give your mind some time to take in what you have been doing. 6

Top students don't just randomly(隨意地)sit down and complete work. They actually plan what they are going to do: they actually plan the time they will study and they set goals for what will be achieved. If you want to be successful, do as successful people do. Set a plan and set a goal and stick to them, which will create a routine and a routine is the first step towards developing a habit. 7

Front up to the toughest work first

Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence. That's fair enough. The only challenge with this approach is that you use up your primary energy at the start of any study period and so if you are dealing with the easy part with your primary energy your batteries will be low-when it comes the time to deal with the hard part. So what happens then?    We all do it.  We really shouldn't, though. So develop the habit of giving your primary energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy tasks last. 9

Do we really have to explain this? Just turn them off for an hour, and we promise the world will still be there when you log back in! Don't text your friends, don't chat while do?ing memory activities,don't make phone calls, and just focus on what you're doing. Even if you focus on work for 15 mi?nutes followed by 5 minutes of chatting, it's better than 30 minutes of work while also chatting! You get that right?

A.     Taking breaks can make you get everywhere.

B.     You get tired and impatient and just give up.

C.     Positive habits decide future success.

D.     Plan your study.

E.     Taking breaks will make you energetic again and refresh your mind.

F.      Get off social networks and turn off the phone.

G.     Achieve your goal.

Could city living be making you crazy? A new re?port says that weak social ties may be to blame for the higher rate of mental disorders in cities, for people are too occupied to connect with others. Thus, cities packed with people can actually make people feel disconnected, nameless and socially isolated.

Dr Stanley Zammit of Cardiff University in Wales led the study published in Archives of General Psychia?try ,where the goal of the research was to determine whether individual, school or area characteristics had a specific link to mental disease. Living in a city was asso?ciated with a 41 per cent higher chance of mental disease compared to rural living. The team gathered data from more than 200,000 people living in Sweden. Those indi?viduals were all born between 1972 and 1977.

The team analyzed factors related to the individuals, including the schools they attended and the neighbourhoods

they lived in. Out of all the factors examined, a weak social connection at the school level was the most significant. Kids who were immigrants, who changed cities between ages 8 and 16 or who were raised in a single-parent home suffer from a higher risk of mental disease.

The finding suggests inviting a few friends to get out of the city for a walk in nature can reduce stress. Other studies have shown getting outdoors for some "green exercise" may help stop depression, too. It has also been shown that social networks provide support to improve mental health. In fact, a recent research showed happy people talk more.

1. What do we learn about cities packed with people from the text?

A.They make people feel separate from others.

B.They have led to mental disease.

C.They strengthen social ties.

D.They get rid of people's names.


2.The underlined word "chance" in Paragraph 2 may be

close to "    in meaning.

A. opportunity B. possibility

C. luck D. accident

3.Which of the following people may least have mental disease?


A.People who moved to another country while they were young.

B.People who kept moving homes from one city to another when they were in middle school.

C.People who lived only with a father or a mother in childhood.

D.People who were regular visitors to their school friends.

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .


A.going outdoors for some exercise will surely make you relaxed

B.inviting friends to walk in nature can reduce stress

C.good social relationship is helpful for mental health

D.talkative people are always happy

Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can im?prove the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an ex?pert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfac?tion. "No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),,,Edwards points out. " The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.,,

In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities be?fore and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.

"I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice," says a seventy-year-old lady. "When I'm watc?hing TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.,,

The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The re?searchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding con?cerns.

"At the beginning , it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry," Beck says. "But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.,,

"Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters' blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even 

one day have games that can help stimulate old people's minds.,,

5. The purpose of Beck and Edwards' study is to .

A.understand human-animal relationship

B.find the causes of old people's loneliness

C.make lonely old people's life better

D. promote the animal-assisted research

6.In the research, the old people are asked to   .

A.note the activities of AIBOs

B.keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks

C. analyze the collected information

D. record their feelings and activities

7. What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?

A.It can watch TV with its owner.

B.It can help the disabled people.

C.It responds to all the human orders.

D.It is easier to keep at home.

8.The author seems to suggest that the future robotic

dogs may .

A. keep old people active

B. cure certain diseases

C. change people's beliefs

D.look more like real dogs

Dear Mandy,

   I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true. I work re?ally hard, often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard,and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!

The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad, all he said was,"You mustn't waste your time in art. You must fo?cus your mind on your lessons!" I'm feeling quite puzzling what to do now. Would you please help me out?

   Thanks a lot!

                                         Yours sincerely,

The adolescent girl from Tennessee was standing on the stage of a drama summer camp in New York. But the girl didn't feel joyful. She was not the leggy, attrac?tive Hollywood type. In fact, she described herself as stupid.

This girl was Reese Witherspoon, who had wanted to be a country singer and admired and respected Dolly Parton very much.

That day at the end of the camp her coaches told her to forget about singing. They suggested she think about another career. She took their words to heart. After all,why shouldn't she believe the professionals?

But back at home in Nashville, her mother―a fun?ny, happy, optimistic woman—wouldn't let her feel de?pressed. Her father, a physician, encouraged her to achieve in school. So she worked hard at everything and was accepted into Stanford University.

And at 19, she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway, which prepared for her role in the mov?ie Pleasantville. But her big break came with Legally Blonde.

"If you can't sing and you aren't charming, play to your strengths. If you're going to make it in this busi?ness, better focus on what you're good at,"she told the interviewer later.

And then came the offer that took her back to her Nashville—playing the wife of a country star Johnny Cash,a singing role.

All of a sudden the old fears learned on that sum?mer stage were back. She was so nervous on the stage. But she didn't give up on the movie or herself. She spent 6 months taking singing lessons again. She learned to play the autoharp. And the hard work built up her confi?dence.

Last March, Reese Witherspoon walked up on an?other stage, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, and ac?cepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking, heart-warming singing role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line.

1. Why was Reese Witherspoon sad that day?

A.The experts advised her to give up singing.

B.Dolly Parton told her to leave the stage.

C.The coaches described her as foolish.

D.The professionals considered her ignorant.

2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A.Reese was an optimistic girl.

B.Her parents supported her a lot.

C.Her parents were disappointed with her.

D.Reese blamed herself all day long.

3.How did Reese succeed in playing the singing role?

A.She did her best to make herself leggy and at?tractive.

B.She tried hard to forget about that summer stage.

C.She practised autoharp lessons for more than 6 months.

D.She regained her confidence through hard work.

4.What can we learn from Reese's experience?

A.Two heads are better than one.

B.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

C.Where there is a will, there is a way.

D.Hope for the best,and prepare for the worst.
