Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades? Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles(奋斗) of great scientists.
The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists' personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution(迫害). The last group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles(障碍).
The students took a science exam before the study. After the sixweek study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn't see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.
The study was led by Xiaodong LinSiegler, a teacher at Columbia University. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures.
Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves. The "great minds" also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success.
Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.

A.satisfy B.catch C.hate D.like
4.Xiaodong Lin-Siegler thinks science textbooks should ________.
A.tell students directly that Einstein was born a common man
B.make the long lists of facts that students have to remember more interesting
C.include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed
D.tell students that great scientists have better families
5.What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Students should learn something about the struggles of great scientists.
B.Success can be easily got by everyone.
C.Students should read more books to improve their grades.
D.An interesting study led by Xiaodong Lin-Siegler and his views.
As we know, English is widely used around the world. Although everyone is born 1. the ability to learn languages, many think it is difficult to learn it well. In 2. (I) opinion, they don't have good learning ways. Here are some of my 3. (secret) to it.
First, I think 4. (patient) pre-studying (预习) is very important. Before I start a new unit, I usually try my best to m5. the new words in advance (提前). I read them aloud to practice my 6. (pronounce) and review them again and again.
Second, I think practice makes perfect.7. you want to be an excellent language speaker, you should practice it more. I usually read English books by my favorite 8. (novel). If I meet foreigners on the street, I will talk with them.
9. (three), I think learning about western culture is necessary. I am very interested in how western people celebrate their festivals.
All in all, if we use different kinds of ways, we will make great progress on 10. ability of learning English.
