How to Improve Your Study Habits
Want to know how to improve your grades without having to spend more time studying? Sounds too good to be true? Well, read on...
How to Improve Your Study Habits
Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here's how:
1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.
2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.
3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well.
4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on test.
6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your knowledge permanent.
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Only a few have been mentioned here. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. Talk with your classmates about their study techniques. Share with them some of the techniques you have found to be helpful. Improving your study habits will improve your grades.

高中英语阅读材料 篇2
Yoe Go Your Way,I'll Go Mine
A young boy faces the impossible task of trying to soften the blow of tragic mews.
You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine
The messenger got off his bicycle in front of the house of Mrs. Rosa Sandoval. He went to the door and knocked gently. He knew almost immediately that someone was inside the house. He could not hear anything, but he was sure the knock was bringing someone to the door and he was most eager to see who this person would be -- his woman named Rosa Sandoval who was now to heat of murder in the world and to feel it in herself. The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges. The movement of the door was as if, whoever she was, she and nothing in the world to fear. Then the door was open, and there she was.
To Homer the Mexican woman was beautiful. He could see that she had been patient all her life, so that now, after years of it, her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. But like all people who never receive telegrams the appearance of a messenger at the front door is full of terrible implication. Homer knew that Mrs. Rosa Sandoval was shocked to see him. Her first word was the first word of all surprise. She said "Oh," as if instead of a messenger she had thought of opening the door to someone she had know a long time and would be pleased to sit down with. Before she spoke again she studied Homer's eyes and Homer Knew that she knew the message was not a welcome one.
"You have a telegram?" she said.
It wasn't Homer's fault. His work was to deliver telegrams. Even so, it seemed to him that he was part of the whole mistake. He felt awkward and almost as if he alone were responsible for what had happened. At the same time he wanted to come right out and say, "I'm only a messenger, Mrs. Sandoval, I'm very sorry I must bring you a telegram like this, but it is only because it is my work to do so."
"Who is it for?" the Mexican woman said.
"Mrs. Rosa Sandoval, 1129 G Street." Homer said. He extended the telegram to the Mexican woman, but she would not touch it.
"Are you Mrs. Sandoval?" Homer said.
"Please," the woman said. "Please come in. I cannot read English. I am Mexican. I read only La Prensa which comes from Mexico City." She paused a moment and looked at the boy standing awkwardly as near the door as he could be and still be inside the house.
"Please," she said, "what does the telegram say?"
"Mrs. Sandoval," the messenger said, "the telegram says --"
But now the woman interrupted him. "But you must open the telegram and read it to me," she said. "You have not opened it."
"Yes, ma'am," Homer said as if he were speaking to a school teacher who had just corrected him.
He opened the telegram with nervous fingers. The Mexican woman stooped to pick up the torn envelope, and tried to smooth it out. As she did so she said, "Who sent the telegram -- my son Juan Domingo?"
"No, ma'am." Homer said. "The telegram is from the War Department."
"War Department?" the Mexican woman said.
"Mrs. Sandoval," Homer said swiftly, "your son is dead. Maybe it's a mistake, Everybody makes a mistake, Mrs. Sandoval. Maybe it wasn't your son. Maybe it was somebody else. The telegram says it was Juan Domingo. But maybe the telegram is wrong,"
The Mexican woman pretended not to hear.
"Oh, do not be afraid," she said. "Come inside. Come inside. I will bring you candy." She took the boy's arm and brought him to the table at the center of the room and there she made him sit.
"All boys like candy," she said. "I will bring you candy." She went into another room and soon returned with an old chocolate candy box. She opened the box at the table and in it Homer saw a strange kind of candy.
"Here," she said. "Eat this candy. All boys like candy."
Homer took a piece of the candy from the box, put it into his mouth, and tried to chew.
"You would not bring me a bad telegram," she said. "You are a good boy -- like my little Juanito when he was a little boy. Eat another piece." And she made the messenger take another piece of the candy.
Homer sat chewing the dry candy while the Mexican woman talked. "It is our own candy," she said, "from cactus. I made it for my Juanito when he come home, but you eat it. You are my boy, too."
Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would stay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didn't know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What can I do? What the hell can I do? I'm only the messenger."

高中英语阅读材料 篇4
Interest in basketball in the United States peaks around three bigchampionship events in the spring: the college championships for men and womenin late March or early April and the professional playoffs that climax inJune.
But that’s only organized basketball. Informally, the game has been learnedby generations of American youths on city playgrounds and schoolyards, on lonelybaskets put up in backyards of rural homes and on the driveway basketball courtsof countless suburban homes. Here, playing on teams, going one-on-one against asingle opponent or just shooting the ball hour after hour alone, some of thefinest basketball players have developed their skills to incredible levels.
But as brilliant as some players may be, basketball requires coaching toteach athletes skills they are deficient in and to blend a group of individualsinto a team. Styles of coaching vary. Some coaches favor an extremelydisciplined game with each player having a specific role while others are moreinclined to let their players dictate the style of play.
美国人对篮球的兴趣在春季三大锦标赛期间达到高潮。这包括三月底或四月初举行的大学男篮锦标赛和大学女篮锦标赛,以及在六月份进入决赛高潮的职业篮球赛。
上面说的只是有组织的正式比赛。在市内的运动场和学校的操场上,在农舍后院的简易篮球筐下,或是在无数市郊住宅的自家车道上划出的篮球场上,一代代的美国青少年的学习打篮球。一批秀的篮球选手,就是在这种队与队的对抗,单与单的较量,或是一个人数小时的投篮练习中,练就一身出神入化的球技的。
尽管有些球员很有天赋,篮球运动还是需要有教练指导的`,帮助球员学习他们掌握欠佳的技术,并把一个个球员熔合成一个队,教练的风格各异。有些教练部署严谨,队员各司其职;有的则倾向于让队员去决定比赛的打法和风格。
高中英语阅读材料 篇5
1.用不同方法教授不同材料
针对高中英语阅读材料题材广泛、体裁多样的特点,采取灵活多样的教学方法,激发学生阅读材料的兴趣,作好高中英语阅读前的心理准备。例如,在教American English这一篇阅读材料前,选择几段BBC和VOA的节目录音,对比播放,让学生对英国英语和美国英语的语音差异有一些感性认识,讨论总结美国英语与英国英语在语音上的不同之处,在此之后,学生就会产生一种强烈的求知欲望,想进一步了解美国英语和英国英语的差异,此时进行阅读,可谓水到渠成,事半功倍。美国现代流行音乐和美国乡村音乐有什么特点?选一些美国现代流行音乐和美国乡村音乐的片段,使学生产生阅读Country Music一文的欲望。与学生谈论他们喜爱的动画片《米老鼠和唐老鸭》,他们一定会更想了解Walt Disney和他创建的Disneyland。兴趣是阅读的原动力,学生对所阅读的材料感兴趣,阅读效果才会更佳。
2.合理利用标题,预测中心思想,设定阅读目标
在高中英语教材中,每篇高中英语阅读课文都有标题,在教学中,这些标题往往不受重视,一带而过,其实,标题就是课文主题的反映。对标题的分析能预测课文的内容,能了解作者的写作意图和思想倾向,对高中英语阅读材料的深刻理解有所帮助。如Book I lesson26中,Earthquake是阅读文章的标题,它又是该文章的中心和主题,围绕标题我们可以提出以下问题:
(1)Why do earthquakes happen?
(2)What will the cities be when an earthquake happens?
(3)In what provinces in China did earthquakes happen in the past?
(4)In what other places of the world do earthquakes often happen?
(5)How can we prevent the buildings from destroying in earthquakes?
就标题创设的上述问题,既活跃了课堂气氛,又启发了学生的思维,使学生对于earthquake有了一定的了解,更激发了学生阅读该课文的兴趣。待到深入阅读课文时,理解起来就容易了。
3.分清阅读材料的体裁,了解不同体裁的结构特征,多方位地训练学生的阅读理解能力
近年来高考英语阅读材料所选择的文章涉及了记述文、论说文和应用文等多种文体。高考题选材多样化的趋向意味着中学英语阅读教学不仅要注重阅读材料的内容,而且要注重高中英语阅读的体裁。不同的'体裁从结构和写作手法上都有所不同。如写人,就要写出人物的言行举止和心理感受;如记事,就要记清楚事情的来龙去脉;如议论,则应该有感而发,不要说空话。弄清楚阅读材料的体裁,在高中英语阅读过程中才会做到心中有数,较快地抓住文章的主旨和重要信息,忽略次要、冗余的信息,直接找到主题句,使高中英语阅读理解更快捷和准确。
4.注意不同高中英语阅读材料中语言与文化的结合
在高中英语教材中阅读教材的内容涉及到了英语国家许多文化背景知识,充分体现了“语言是文化的载体”这一重要理念。这也是近几年高考试题中所注重的一个方面。事实上,在阅读中缺少必要的文化背景知识,对语言材料的理解就会造成困难。因此,在阅读之前可向学生讲授一些与材料相关的文化背景知识,消除学生对高中英语阅读理解的障碍。
5.通过高中英语阅读材料注重词汇的学习
词汇能力在基础教育阶段最为重要,它是高中英语阅读训练的前提条件。同时高中英语阅读又是提高词汇能力、扩充词汇量最有效的途径。在高中英语阅读教学中,应该有意识地培养学生根据上下文猜测词义的能力。例如,根据构词法知识推断词义。
6.补充课外高中英语阅读材料
高中英语阅读能力的提高主要靠量的积累,教材中的阅读材料只是为培养学生的阅读理解能力提供一种范例,从量的方面来说,是远远不够的。所以,学生必须高中英语阅读大量的课外材料,才能有效地巩固和提高阅读理解能力。简写的文学名著、浅显的幽默故事、科普文章、报纸、杂志等都是很好的课外阅读材料。
最后,想要获得成功,仅从上面的方法是不行的,还要付出时间和努力,通过不断的做题,然后总结经验,才能在高中英语阅读中取得突破。
