陕西省西安中学2017-2018学年高一下学期英语期末考试试卷
Homework is a major part of going to school: It's your teachers' way of evaluating(评价) how much you understand of what's going on in class. Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less work.
Be sure you understand the homework.
Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to.It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
Use any extra time in school.
Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It's tempting(诱惑) to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured(松散的) time.
Take a break.
So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15 minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day and you've got an assignment in every subject, you'll need to devote more time to homework. It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after school job.
A. Make a homework schedule.
B. Settle down to do homework.
C. And it helps digest important concepts.
D. Most people's attention spans (跨度) aren't very long.
E. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's unknown.
F. Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.
G. But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.

Write everything down and do not rely on your memory. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook.

Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags (标签) on? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you have not read, worn, or used whatever they are, they you are probably not going to use them at all. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Distribute tasks properly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily while vacuuming (吸尘) could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly. Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can not completely organize your life in one go (一口气).
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.
