School success means different things to different people. No matter what success means to you, strong study skills, confidence and goals are key components. 1.. Therefore, why not try the following tips to achieve it?
Organize yourself
When a student lacks organization, he struggles to complete schoolwork on time, or find time to study. 2.. When you sit down to study, you need to organize your time well by allowing enough time for each task. You also need an organized backpack that allows you to transport materials to and from classes.
3.
Spending time with friends, working a part-time job and pursuing other interests has a place. However, you also need to leave time to achieve academic goals, or else your studies will be affected negatively. For example, working too many hours at a job reduces study and sleep time, possibly meaning missed school and difficulty concentrating due to being tired.
Look for support
Whether or not you struggle in school, a support network helps you succeed. So communicate with your teacher outside of class time to ask for help when you struggle. 4.. If your friends think school is a waste of time, you may be influenced to think so.
Go beyond the classroom
Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom doors. 5.. When a topic in the classroom interests you, you should do a little research on your own. For example, set up your own experiment based on something you learned in science class.
A.Balance activities and your studies
B.It isn’t limited to the information on the next exam
C.Never miss school
D.Surround yourself with classmates who also want to succeed in school
E.For students who struggle in school, additional support is necessary for success
F.You need an organized study place at home for completing homework and studying
G.School success opens up doors for future achievements for students at all grade levels
The reality TV wildlife edition has just come to a dramatic end. The world watched as the bears packed on pounds before they went into their den (兽穴) for the winter. Over the next few months, Fat Bear Week winner, 435 Holly, will go into hibernation (冬眠). Why do bears do this?
The mysteries around hibernating bears have attracted curious researchers for ages. What is hibernation, and what causes it? And probably most interestingly — could humans do this someday?
Dr. Kelly Drew, who studies hibernation, is one of the scientists consulting on a project funded by NASA, looking to put humans into hibernation for spaceflight. “For sending people to space, I think our first step is to perfect short-term hibernation-like periods in humans,” she says. “If we can figure this out, we can then try for longer periods.” We still have a long way to go before this science fiction dream becomes a reality, but several scientists around the country have been studying hibernation.
Cory Williams, at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, says, “A huge variety of mammals (哺乳动物) hibernate. However, hibernation in bears is different from that in small mammals…their body temperature only drops a few degrees and they don’t experience periodic rewarming.” In general, mammals with lower body temperatures during hibernation awaken every few days to raise their body temperature, or eat a bit. Bears do not emerge for any of these activities. Instead, they live off the fat they have collected during the summer and autumn months and even recycle their metabolic (新陈代谢的) waste.
At the moment, the study of hibernation has and continues to contribute greatly to applications in the human world. For example, bears are able to maintain their bone mass during hibernation, and understanding this could help advance the study of treating people with weak bones. Perhaps one day, it will be the key to sending humans far off into space too.
1.Why is 435 Holly mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.To show the popularity of Fat Bear Week. B.To introduce the topic of hibernation.
C.To call for the protection of bears. D.To advertise reality TV.
2.How do bears hibernate?
A.They produce new body fat.
B.They lower their body temperature greatly.
C.They sleep through the whole winter.
D.They rewarm themselves regularly.
3.What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The new findings about hibernation. B.The significance of studying hibernation.
C.The ways bears maintain their bone mass. D.The barriers to sending humans into space.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.What could bears and astronauts have in common?
B.What effects does hibernation have on bears?
C.Why do bears need to go into hibernation?
D.How do humans and bears get along?
