There is a Chinese proverb（谚语）, “I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.” Do you know it? Maybe you will say, “Sorry, I don’t.” But you will see this proverb on the walls of classroom in an American middle school. Many Americans think it is the truth of learning.
What does this proverb tell us? Practice! When you are learning a text, if you just listen to your teacher and do nothing, you will forget it quickly; if you read it several times, you will remember it; but if you preview the text before class and solve some problems yourself, you will understand it.
When we have formed good study habits, we learn things quickly and remember things easily. Do you sometimes copy other’s homework? It is not good. No matter how difficult the homework is, you must try to do it by yourself and finish it on time. If you practice again and again, nothing will be difficult.
When you are having classes, don’t forget to take notes. Every evening you must take out the notes and review what you have learned today. Before doing homework, do not forget to clean your desks. A clean desk will make you feel comfortable.
A good study habit is the key to success.

A
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.
