7.Are you a procrastinator?
Following a schedule and doing things on time is extremely important in today's busy world.
Unfortunately,not everyone is good at doing this.Many people are procrastinators; they put off doing things that they need to until it's too late.
We all put off doing things at times.Statistics show that 90% of university students will often put off studying for a test or writing an important paper the night before,25% of university students put off almost everything all the time.This more serious form of procrastination can result in a student dropping out of school.Students who put off doing their assignments once in a while get further and further behind in their studies.Before long,they feel completely helpless.For the chronic(長期的)procrastinator,often the only way to solve this problem is to quit school.
According to recent studies,there are three main reasons that students put off doing things.First,many have poor time-management skills and often try to do too much in too little time.In the end,these students often feel helpless and will put off doing many things they need to.Another reason why students put off doing things is that they feel a subject is boring and have something because they don't like it.a(chǎn) third reason why many students put off doing things is that they often worry that their work will never be as good as it should be and fear failure of any kind,which,unfortunately,can often cause these students to put off doing any work at all.
Do you recognize any of these signs in yourself?If so,you may want to do something about your tendency towards procrastination.The following five tips may be helpful.
First,list the things in life that are important to you,and then list the reasons why you are at school or university.Look at the two lists and see where they match.Is there something you need to do in order to achieve a life goal?
Second,chose realistic goals for yourself; don't try to do more than you can.
Third,once you have identified our goals,list them and ask yourself"Which should I do first?"As you become more aware of what you need to do and when you need to do it,you will feel more in control and will be able to complete tasks on time.
Fourth,manage your time wisely.Create a schedule that allows adequate time for accomplishing a goal; for example,your schedule should give you enough time to study for and pass a test,as well as time to relax.
Finally,when you accomplish a goal,do something good for yourself as a reward.
If you believe that you are a chronic procrastinator,you should try to get help before it is too late.Talk to a professional,and discuss the problem.If you are a mild procrastinator,make sure to keep yourself motivated,but don't worry too much.Remember-we all put off doing things at times.

2.D.R.Gaul Middle School in Union,Maine,a blue-berry farming town where the summer fair finds kids competing in pig scrambles and pie-eating contests.
Gaul,with about 170seventh-and eighth-graders,has its own history of lower level academic achievement.One likely reason:education beyond the basic requirements hasn't always been a top priority for families who've worked the same land for generations.Here,few adults have college degrees,and outsiders(teachers included) are often kept at a respectful distance.
Since 2002,Gaul's students have been divided into four classes,each of them was taught almost every subject by two teachers.The goal:to find common threads across disciplines to help students create a big picture that gives fresh meaning and context to their classwork and sparks motivation for leaning.
Working within state guidelines,each team makes its individual schedules and lesson plans,incorporating non-textbook literature,hands-on lab work and fields trips.If students are covering the Civil War in social studies,they're reading The Read Badge of Courage or some other period literature in English class.In science,they study the viruses and bacteria that caused many deaths in the war.
Team teaching isn't unusual.About 77percent middle schools now employ some form of it,says John Lounsbury,consulting editor for the National Middle School Association.But most schools use four-or five-person teams,which Gaul tried before considering two-person teams more effective.Gual supports the team concept by"looping"classes (跟班)so that the same two teachers stick with the same teens through seventh and eighth grades.Combining teams and looping creates an extremely strong bond between teacher and student.It also,says teacher Beth Ahlholm,"allows us to build an excellent relationship with parents."
Ahlholm and teammate Madelon Kelly are fully aware how many glazed looks they see in the classroom,but they know 72percent of their eighth-graders met Maine's reading standard last year--double the statewide average.Only 31percent met the Maths standard,still better than the state average(21percent).Their students also beat the state average in writing and science.And in 2006,Gual was one of 47schools in the state to see testing gains of at least 20percent in four of the previous five years,coinciding roughly with team teaching'arrival.
A Classroom with Context

Problems of the school
Being a farming town,it (149)achieved little in education before.
(150)Further education is considered less important.
The community is relatively (151)closed rather than open to the outsiders.


Ways of solving the problems
The division of the classes is made and students are well (152)motivated.
Individual schedules and lesson plans are (153)made/adopted/conducted by each team.
A strong (154)bond/tie/connection between teacher and student is established through combining teams and looping.


Signs of (155)success
72percent of the eighth-graders (156)meeting/reaching Maine's reading  standard
(157)Tenpercent higher than the state average in Maths
The school beating the state average in writing and science
