Top students always have special ways of learning that others probably can't learn. Here are some of their secrets.

    Study at any time and everywhere. Some work late at night. Others work early in the morning. And some others study as soon as they come back home. All the ways are OK, but you should keep your own.

    Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader. Asking questions makes a full understanding of the book.

    Plan your time. If you want to be the top, make sure to finish all tasks on time.

    Keep your papers clean. Clean papers are likely to get higher grades than dirty ones.

    Top students often make up possible test questions（模拟测试） themselves. It helps them find exams much easier.

    Do more than what your teacher asks. The more you practice, the more you learn.

    It's ten o'clock in the morning. It's raining heavily. The students of Class 3 are in the computer room. It's time for them to begin their computer lesson. Since the teacher hasn't arrived, the students are acting badly. Jenny is talking loudly and excitedly. Beside her, Tony is eating something. Mike is playing games on the computer and Mary is putting down her wet umbrella near the computer, which may be bad for the computer.

    Where is Emma? Oh, she is still on the way to the computer room.

    You must have heard about jogging(慢跑)as a popular way of keeping fit, but what about plogging? Plogging is a mix of jogging and picking up litter, coming from the Swedish phrase "plocka upp". It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and then spread to other countries step by step. For exercising, plogging is much better than simply running, because it provides changes in body movements by adding bending(弯曲), squatting(蹲) and stretching(伸展).

    As 2018's hottest fitness way, plogging has become popular in more than 40 countries, from the US to France and Australia to Thailand. The idea of plogging is to pay attention to environmental protection as well as physical health — to care for Mother Nature as well as your body. "I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. When I find litter out in the woods, it makes me sad and a bit angry. Plogging is a natural way to do something about that," Tesch said." It's so easy to just pick up the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you're making a difference!"

    Have you noticed people jogging while carrying trash bags recently? Or running along with hands full of dirty plastic bottles? You might do soon! Because plogging has reached China. Olivier, a Frenchman married to a Chinese girl, began promoting(促进)plogging in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, back in April. He and his wife were the only ones doing it at first, he said, but the craze soon caught on. The couple have set up a WeChat group for people to learn more about plogging. Currently there are more than 100 people from different parts of the country in the group to take an active part in the environmental movement. In honor of World Environment Day this year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China(中国工商银行)started plogging campaigns (运动)in 280 cities, attracting 13,000 people to join in.

    Plogging can be done almost anytime and anywhere, and costs almost nothing. Will you take it up?

How to be a friend of yourself?

We often pay attention to developing relationships with others. However, we forget the basic step: being friends of ourselves. How can we have good relationships with others if we don't even have good relationships with ourselves?{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

First, forgive(原谅) yourself. It's true that you are not perfect, and neither is everybody else. It's normal for everyone to make mistakes.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

Second, accept things you can't change. There are many things you cannot change, such as your background and past.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}If you face the things you can't change, just smile and move on.

Third, focus on(聚焦于) your achievements. You can try making a list of your achievements, which do not have to be big things. There are a lot of small but important achievements in our life.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Last but not least, stop comparing yourself with others. You are unique.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Your success is not determined(决定) by other people. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose.
