    After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you, which will be helpful to you.

Go to class.

If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss (错过) classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test. 1.

Take good notes.

Try not to write down everything. 2.Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review (复习) your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind. 3.

If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help or tutor (指导) you before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy (同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.

Take part in class discussions.

In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact (交流) with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation (参与) and your focus during the class discussion.4.This helps you make your point clear in class.

Form study groups.

5.Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. Be careful! Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.

A.Talk to your teacher if you need help.

B.Don't be late for your class.

C.So if you want to study well, go to every class.

D.You should write down all the new terms.

E.All you need is to put the main points in your own words.

F.Get students together who want to do well in class.

G.If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class.

 

    Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist... Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. Once he worked with renowned men of science like Christian Huygens, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton and the great architect, Christopher Wren.

Hooke’s early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of thirteen, and from there he went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and devising instruments. In 1662, at the age of twenty-eight, he was named Curator of Experiments of the newly formed Royal Society of London. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that it had no money to pay him!

Watching living things through the microscope was one of his favorite occupations.

He devised a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. They were cells—the smallest units of life. In fact, it was Hooke who coined the term “cell” as the box like cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery (修道院).Perhaps because of his varied interests, Hooke often left experiments unfinished. Others took up where he left  off and then claimed sole (独占的) credit. This sometimes led to quarrels with colleagues. One work that he finished was his book MICRO GRAPHIA, a volume that reveals the immense potential of the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity and light which may have helped scientists like Newton while they  were developing their own theories on these phenomena.

Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater (陨石坑) on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.

1.From the first paragraph, we can know that Robert Hooke ________.

A.was famous because he worked with many scientists

B.liked making friends with the famous people

C.received a lot from other scientists

D.made contributions to many different fields

2.Robert Hooke probably went to school in________.

A.1634 B.1647 C.1662 D.1640

3.Robert Hooke made himself known to some of the best scientists in England by________.

A.learning by himself with his father's help

B.introducing himself to them

C.designing experiments and instruments

D.refusing any reward from Royal Society of London

4.Robert Hooke couldn’t get along well with his colleagues because________.

A.he couldn’t finish his work on time sometimes

B.he had all kinds of interests in his daily life

C.he was too proud to look up to them

D.the other scientists took the fruits of his experiments

 

    Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe—the business tribe.

You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who   used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a      professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take  seriously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.

“Ties offer a point of indifference,” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”

So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.

Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of  entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people—but not the people wearing ties.

Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business  uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was “hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps “tieless Tony” (UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”

1.In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person’s ________.

2.In the business world, wearing a tie was necessary because________.

3.The writer may hold the opinion that________.

A.Blair is the best leader in the world

B.Kennedy is the best leader in the world

C.millions of people will go to work without a tie

D.people will wear hats instead of ties

4.The underlined word “vanished” in the last paragraph may mean________.

A.Sold B.washed

C.Disappeared D.appeared

I know things can get difficulty in life. Everyone has the different story. In the past few years that have gone, I have changed from not wanting to continue with my studies to laugh every night and living life to the fullest. Moreover, I’ve learned that it’s all right to feel lower and cry sometimes. That is okay to have no one by your sides. If you get been knocked down 7 times, get up the 8th time. Listening to music; find and do something that you enjoy. In tough times, you are your biggest help. I promise that things would get better.

    Honesty is a valuable characteristic in a world full of false promises. Today, we re exploring five qualities of honest individuals.

They’re not concerned about popularity contests. 1.Instead, they simply are who they are and other people can take it or leave it. They stand up for their beliefs. Honest people don’t go looking for fights, but they also aren’t afraid to speak their mind. 2.While this may annoy managers concerned with bureaucracy( 官僚主义), most people will respect honesty and be impressed with those willing to stand out against the group mind.

3.Honesty requires thick skin. Not all people love hearing the truth, and when you give out a fresh dose of reality, some might be likely to throw it right back in your face. Honest individuals may fall victim to the insecure defensiveness of others, requiring them to be thick-skinned.

They have close friendships. Individuals who are honest often have rich, meaningful friendships. Others know that their honest friend won’t complain about them behind their back, and will instead face any issues head on. 4.

They are trusted by peers (同龄人). Individuals  will seek the aid of honest peers, knowing they can count on them for true, objective advice. However, others will just lie and tell you the story you want to hear. 5.But there are many times that the difficult truth is what individuals really need to hear. Others trust honest individuals to tell them what it really is, without covering the truth.

A.They do this to avoid any injured feelings.

B.They never try to fight managers’ decisions.

C.The number of friends they have doesn’t matter.

D.They are seldom upset or hurt by unpleasantness.

E.This level of trust allows for deeper, healthier relationships.

F.They will state their opinions even when they are against the majority.

G.Honest people don’t think about what others think of them all the time.

 

    Our body’s response is an important part of an emotional reaction to any event. If you’ve been criticized in public and found your face heated and your heart pounding, you’ve experienced your body’s reaction to shame.

Sometimes what you’re feeling is clear and consistent with what you’re saying. You might say “welcome” as you greet a guest with a smile. But at other times, we mask our emotions from the people around us. There are many reasons to hide how you’re feeling. You don’t want to rock the boat in a strict teachers class or you don’t want to hurt a friend’s feelings. You simply want to smooth situations over.

Even when you don’t communicate your feelings in spoken words, you may still be giving information with your body. Arms across your chest when you approach that new teacher? Looking down when you speak to your friend? These gestures are all important expressions of an emotion. Try understanding what others are communicating with their bodies. Notice things like eye contact, rate of speech and posture. How does their verbal communication match their body language? How about you? Try tuning in to your own body. How do you think others see you? Is that consistent with how you feel? Is it how you want to feel?

Body language communication is a two-way street. It communicates to others what you are feeling, but it also has a powerful effect on your own emotional state. Changing your body and posture can affect how you feel. Sit up in the meeting and you might find yourself more focused. Take a deep breath and you feel less anxious.

The body and your body language is a great field to dig into, especially if hiding how you feel has become habitual for you. Over time, if you become practiced in hiding your feelings, you may begin to hide them from yourself, too. Then the consequence can be losing contact with your own emotions. That’s actually harmful to your mental health.

1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

3.The author uses the example of taking a deep breath to show ________.

A.the significance of taking exercise

B.the necessity of hiding our feelings

C.the effects of body movements on our feelings

D.the importance of using postures in communication

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.We should practice controlling our feelings.

B.Body language is hard for us to understand.

C.We may try to record our feelings more often.

D.Hiding feelings for long does harm to our health.

 

    Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan(寿命) by up to two years, and the more often you read, the better.

Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic success didn’t always mean longer lives.In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.

One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.

Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks, they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily navigate (导航) the health care system; they have more social support.

Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.

1.What did researchers find in the 1980s?

A.Education does affect peoples lifespan.

B.Health has nothing to do with wealth.

C.Economic success always belongs to professors.

D.Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.

2.What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.speeds up B.slows down

C.turns back D.contributes to

3.What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?

A.They learn more about human body and medical care.

B.They can set up their own health care system.

C.They are more connected to the society.

D.They are skilled in doing research through social networks.

4.What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?

A.It is effective against cancer.

B.It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.

C.It can help people understand humans brain better.

D.It is beneficial to peoples EQ and brain health.

 

    I had just delivered a memorized speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.

The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.

Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.

I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give upon a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.

I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise. Through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.

1.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?

A.Excited B.Relaxed

C.Nervous D.Confident

2.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?

A.He was disappointed with his preparations.

B.He hurt his toes on the way to the library.

C.He got up late on the day of the contest.

D.He was bottom of his group.

3.What made the author decide to enter the second contest?

A.The warmth of the victory. B.The inspiration from Lincoln.

C.His eagerness for the prize money. D.His desire to show himself on the stage.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Learn to fail successfully B.Never mind others’ judgments

C.Lincoln—my hero D.Losing—an indescribable feeling

● Present types.

3.. You like doing fun things with fun people. You don’t have a healthy lifestyle(生活方式). You avoid doing difficult or boring things.

4..

You spend most of your time working, saving and planning for a better future. You eat well and exercise regularly. You don’t mind waiting for the good things in life. 5.. But they often don’t enjoy their free time because they are busy thinking about the next things.

B.Did you make friends

C.Do you enjoy the present time

    A few years ago, David, a top manager, thought his life wasn’t moving forward. So he started to set himself 30-day challenges. The idea was simple: think of something you want to add to your life-or to give up-and try it every day for 30 days.

David began with easy projects like going to work by bike, not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he tried more difficult ones, like writing a novel in 30 days. David learned that if you do something for 30 days. It can become a habit. If you stop doing something for 30 days, you can break the habit. As he did harder challenges, he got more confident. He learned that he could do something if he really wanted to do it. After doing the challenges for a few months, he had enough confidence to climb the highest mountain in Africa.

David gave an online talk about how the challenges changed his life. More than 5 million people around the world have watched his talk and the 30-day challenge quickly became very popular.

    What do you think of the Tai Kitchen? Let’s see what some customers said about the restaurant.

Tom

I went to the Tai Kitchen last week with my friends. It’s the place with the long lie outside! But don’t worry—you won’t need to wait very long and the foods are worth the wait. I had the chef’s special dish of the day, beef and salad.                    The restaurant gets noisy sometimes, but if you don’t go in busy hours, you’ll find it nice and quiet.

Helen

I died the Tai Kitchen a year ago and I keep coming back. It’s always busy and the atmosphere is very lively. The waiters are friendly and helpful and have a good knowledge of the dishes on the menu. There aren’t many kinds of food, but                    the food is tasty. You’re usually served quickly, so it’s a great place to go.

Peter

I was really excited about eating at the Tai Kitchen, butitwas very disappointing. The atmosphere is very modern. The food is tasty, but it is expensive. I was not happy with the service, either.

How to Sleep Well

Get some exercise at least three hours before bed.

Go for a run, hit the gym, take long walk, or do some stretches to help you get your heart rate going before you ease into bed. 1. Doing this at least three hours before bed will work. If you work out shortly before bed, then you will feel more awake than ever.

2.

If you want to make it easier for you to fall asleep, then you have to get used to falling asleep at around the same time every night and waking up around the same time every morning. That way, your body will get used to feeling more tired at the same time every night.

Stick to the fifteen-minute rule.

3. If you’ve been lying in bed for more than fifteen minutes and are unable to fall asleep because you’re not tired, then try something else. If you continue to lie there, your mind will continue churning, and you may even work yourself up and feel even more awake. Once fifteen minutes have passed and you’re no closer to falling asleep, do something else. Read a magazine. Pace around your room. Sit up and stare at your hands. 4.

Think about everything you did that day.

Another way to calm your mind is to go through everything you did that day, up to the most boring little detail. Try to break it down hour by hour and see how specific you can get and how many things you can end up remembering. 5.

A.Don’t sleep late in the morning to stick to your regular habit.

B.This will work out your body and will make you more tired.

C.Do something new and you will start to fall asleep gradually.

D.Chances are that this alone will be boring enough to put you to sleep.

E.Make your bed more comfortable.

F.This rule is simple.

G.Go to bed around the same time every night.

 

    The earliest simple computer, the Chinese abacus dates back to thousands of years ago, consisting of rows of beads on a wooden frame used for counting. The modern computer dates back to 1946, when the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) was invented. The U.S. Department of Defense developed the Internet so all of its own computers could be connected; in 1990 the World Wide Web was born. The rapid development of technology has resulted in the computers we use today, and those are changing as we speak too.

You can do many things on a computer. You can create and print letters or reports for school, and save those documents in case you need them later; you can watch movies, listen to music and play video games. The Internet allows people to visit different websites, send e-mails, shop online and pay bills electronically. Some people even work or receive schooling through their home computers.

The most common types of computers used are the desktop, the laptop and the handheld computer. Desktop computers stay in one place, and their parts are contained in a case that is placed beneath the monitor. Laptop computers are lightweight and small enough to be carried by users who need computers and the Internet access to them in different places. Handheld computers include personal digital assistants, small video gaming devices and mobile phones.

While computers make life convenient and are considered positive to society, there are negative aspects of computer use that kids and their family should consider. Computer viruses are harmful programs that damage information and can stop your computer from working properly. The Internet presents risks for young people, too. The information you share is not private. Some kids use their computers so much that they don’t want to do anything else.

1.The earliest simple computer was invented ________.

A.in 1946 B.in 1990 C.by Chinese D.by Americans

2.What kind of computer is liked most by people whose working place is not fixed?

A.The desktop. B.The laptop.

C.The mobile phone. D.The personal digital assistant.

3.In which order is this passage written?

A.Functions→Types→History→Warnings. B.History→Warnings→Types→Functions.

C.History→Types→Functions→Warnings. D.History→Functions→Types→Warnings.

4.We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A.computers do more harm than good to kids.

B.kids shouldn’t be allowed to use computers.

C.parents should limit the time of their kids using computers.

D.people should stay away from computers so as not to get viruses.

 

    I don’t post recognizable pictures of my children on social media. I don’t use their names. I don’t put anything out there that will be really embarrassing for them in later life.

The reason for not posting pictures is that I feel a person’s pictures should be his or her own. It’s not good for me to push my kids out into the wilds of the Web before they’re ready, and understand what it all means.

When the time comes, they’re more than welcome to use social media. But for now, I’m happy to give them a degree of separation until they can make a choice for themselves.

This has meant extra efforts on our part when it comes to making sure that kids don’t get accidentally caught up in the Internet, because the schools where they learn, like so many others up and down the country, post their pictures to social media.

However, my husband thought I was overanxious and asked me a question about its advantages. And having thought about it for while, I’m not 100 percent sure if there are any.

But I could list the disadvantages: the time it takes to manage an account, often by a teacher, meaning extra work; the unavoidable difficulties in safeguarding.

It’s great to see the kids doing their things in schools but my worry is about the use of social media that doesn’t give anything back to the kids, and in many ways, just turns them into another way to gain clicks. I want more than that for them.

1.Why is the author unwilling to post her kids’ picture online?

A.To push her kids into the wilds of the Web. B.To avoid being recognized

C.To make herself embarrassed. D.To protect her kids’ privacy.

2.What’s most schools’ attitude towards social media?

A.Supportive. B.Unfavorable. C.Doubtful. D.Worried.

3.Why did the author’s husband ask her a question?

A.To prove the author is knowledgeable. B.To show social media has disadvantages.

C.To advise the author to list what she thinks. D.To help the author solve her problem.

4.What will happen if schools post kids’ pictures online according to the author?

A.Teachers will take on extra work. B.Parents will have lots of things to do

C.Kids’ safety will be protected effectively. D.Kids will become famous due to clicks.

 

    Have you ever thought about running lemonade stand (货摊) to make money? Sixth-grader Jamaria Crump has. She has been very successful at it, too. It took the 11-year-old one year to build her lemonade stand to earn money for those in need.

Of course, Jamaria pays for her own costs. She has to buy the materials and also pays her mother for rides and working for the stand. Hall says Jamaria does not like the cleaning up. “I make her wash all of her own dishes. That’s a constant battle.” Hall said.

The lemonade business can have its ups and downs. “I’m very proud of her for sticking with it.” said Hall. She wondered if Jamaria would get bored and stop. But that hasn’t happened.

Doran Brown, Hall’s friend, says Jamaria is a success in Baltimore. “She is adorable (讨人喜爱的). She is running her own business to help others.” he said.
