How to stay focused in class
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit， and it is also bad to your grade． Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself， which will be very important．
1. No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class， try your best to avoid them． Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class． This will get you into trouble．
Look at teacher and make eye contact． Your teacher is not just standing up there talking．2. Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye． This person should have your full attention at all times during class．
Take notes． By taking notes， you'll be able to "get into" the lesson． Write down key points as your teacher speaks． And listen to the key phrases such as "This is important" "This is the main idea" "This will be the test" etc．3.
Get involved in class discussions． This is a wonderful way to become a more focused， successful student． When a teacher asks a question， offer to answer it．4.This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class．
Ask a question．5.This really shows your teacher that you want to be better， and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with． Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question （and was too afraid to ask!）． They'll be relieved， and so will you．
A.Avoid sitting with friends．
B.This can help you listen more attentively．
C.If he or she ask for an opinion， share your own．
D.Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class．
E.He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education．
F.The more quickly you answer， the more attention you pay．
G.If you don't understand something， never be afraid to ask．
Scientists have long known a reliable way to lose weight in lab animals; Cut the amount of calories(卡路里) by 10 percent to 40 percent. A new study suggests that in young and middle-aged adults, taking in 300 caloric less every day can also have a big influence on their body weight and health.
In the new study published this month in the Lancet, researchers looked at a group of 143 healthy men and women aging from 21 to 50. They could eat the foods they wanted as long as they cut about 12 percent of their total calories, or roughly 300 calories a day.
The group saw their health improve. For example, their blood pressure fell, and they had better blood sugar control.
“The benefits came from the fact that they lost about 16 pounds over the two years of the study,” said William Kraus, the lead author of the study and a professor of medicine at Duke University.
“We were surprised by these changes,” he added. “In a disease population, there aren't five drugs in combination(组合) that would get such a big improvement.”
Calories cut may be useful for better health and weight loss, said Frank Hu, the chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health. But he questioned whether caloric cut would be possible for most people since we are living in an environment with so many energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods that are cheap, and heavily advertised.
He suggested, however, that some people might find calorie cut possible if they combined it with other popular diets like the Mediterranean diet.
Dr. Kraus said, “It’s not that hard to cut as little as 300 calories a day from their diets. It just takes an after-dinner snack.”
