The biggest secret about invention is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it's true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about invention, so read on to discover the truth.
Wrong idea 1: An invention has to be something completely new.
Invention means creating something "new", but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在) . The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea of building a "flying machine" from watching birds.
Wrong idea 2: Inventors are born, not made.
There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was "99% hard work and 1% inspiration"!
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, "A failure is the right answer to the wrong question."
Wrong idea 3: Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent anything when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline (蹦床).
A big test makes students feel fear and anxiety(焦虑的). But taking tests is something faced by all students at all levels of schools. How do you prepare for the tests as well as reducing fear? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Maybe they will be of use to you.
Calm down. Don't panic. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} You will be focusing on the fear, and not the coming test. Many times, fear can even prevent you doing well. If you panic, take deep breaths, and think that you can do this.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}People who make a detailed study plan often have an easier time of their studies. When making a study plan, calculate(计算)the amount of time you have left before the exam date. Is the exam in a month? Did the teacher spring the test on you suddenly? Is it a mid-year exam that has been waiting since the start of the year? Depending on the time, make your study plan long or short.
Take notes and ask questions. If you come across what you can't understand, write it down. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}And don't worry—you aren't stupid if you ask questions. Questions mean that you're actively learning. Besides, a question ahead of time could mean a better grade on the exam.
Good study skills help to achieve better results with less effort. So use the ones that work for you.
A. Make a study plan. B. Here are some good study skills. C. Making a study plan can help you save time. D. Panic will only make your situation even worse. E. Ask your teacher either during class or during office hours. |
