Maybe you are an average(普通的) student. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} However, this is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.

    Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, ect. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment (娱乐). A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

    Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

    Make good use of your time in class. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

    Study regularly(有规律地). When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.

    Develop a good attitude (态度) towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. Then help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

B. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.

C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

E. You probably think you will never be a top student.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. This will help you understand the next class.

    It's Monday today. When Alice gets up in the morning, she finds everything is white. It's snowing. It looks very cold. So she puts on a warm sweater. After having some milk and bread for breakfast, she wants to ride her bike to school. But her mom tells her not to do that because there's too much snow on the road. Then she walks to school. There's a P. E. class on Monday. Alice is very happy because she can play with snow with her friends.

    Great weather! It was sunny yesterday. We arrived in Beijing at 9: 00 in the morning. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} We went to the hotel by taxi. After lunch and a short rest, we took a bus to the Summer Palace. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} While we were in a boat on Kunming Lake, we heard someone singing Beijing Opera on the bank. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} In the evening we walked to Tian'anmen Square because it was next to our hotel. We took some photos there. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} This morning when we walked to the Palace Museum, we passed by (路过) a square and saw some people flying kites. The kites were in different shapes (形状) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} They were really beautiful. I'll go to the aquarium (水族馆), and then Beihai Park. The day after tomorrow we'll visit the Great Wall. I hear it's very great and I think I will have great fun playing there.
