necessary so, however, Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here"s how.
1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, 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, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don"t forget to set aside enough time for
entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is
happening to your time.
2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, 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.
3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers
say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher
says.
4) Study regularly. 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 will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a
subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won"t end if you don"t pass a test, so
don"t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many
others after you have tried these.
6. what 7. concentrate 8. less 9. understand 10. knowledge
More teachers are starting off the school year with letters to parents and students to introduce themselves
and set a tone (基调)for the year. The letters are a good way to start positive communication with parents,
several teachers told Education World.
"I think it"s professional (专业的)," said Dorothy Peselli, an English teacher at Sparta
High School in Sparta, New Jersay, Peselli, who gives out the letters the first day of school,
told Education World."It gives parents an image of you as a professional. If you start
communication off in a positive manner, you will have the parents on your side when you need them."
In her letter to parents, Peselli encourages them to call or e-mail her with specific concerns about their
children."I want to work as a team to make sure that your child becomes an independent lifelong learner,"
Peselli wrote to parents last September. She also telephones the parents of all her students at the beginning of
the year.
Peselli includes with the letter a classroom handbook (手册) listing plans and rules. And she requires that
both parents and students read and sign statements (included in the letter!) that they read the handbook. The
student letter also lists needed supplies and gives encouragement."Please come to class ready to work and learn.
This will be an exciting year for all of us," it says.
Last year, Peselli taught at a different high school and parents there were"shocked", but appreciative, that
she had so much contact with them,"I received roses and a thank-you note from one boy and his mother".
Peselli said. She wished her own children"s teachers would take the time to write notes as well."I never got a
letter home from any of my daughter"s high school teachers." She said. "It would be nice to know the
background of some of the people who are teaching my daughter."

C. Peselli believe it important for teachers to exchange information with parents
D. Peselli mainly introduces her background and teaching experiences in the letters
B. Peselli means to surprise parents by writing students
C.Peselli seemed to be popular among boy students
D. all Peselli"s children are studying in high schools
B. give advice on how to teach students

D. show us how Dorothy Peselli makes teaching plans
They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much
the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications (药物).
"We have a pretty impressive effect," said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学)
at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
"Blood vessel diameter improved," he said. "The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the
vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise." A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.
When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块)
that cause heart attacks and strokes. "We are not saying to stop your stations or not to exercise but rather to
add this to an overall program of heart health," said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the
American Heart Association in New Orleans.
Miller"s team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music.
They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel
anxious while the researchers did ultrasound (超声波) tests designed to show blood vessel function.
Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average
when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked-in most cases in this group heavy
metal-blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.
Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more
smoothly. "I asked myself what other things make us feel real good, besides calories from dark chocolate of
course. Music came to mind.... It makes me feel really good," he said.
Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what
pleases each individual.
B. move
C. change
D. increase
B. Listening to unpleasant music.
C. Bursting into laughter.
D. Taking drugs like statins.
B. music is better than chocolate for your health
C. the style of music has different effects on different people
D. a person"s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets
B. Research into Blood Vessel
C. Music and Heart Attack
D. Music and Happiness
1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask JUESCO (联合国教
科文组织).The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because it
said it was great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must
also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2) The World Heritage committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them
on the list. The committee meet every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3) After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in
serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and
help to those places.
4) Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country
isn"t taking good care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

education. Some efforts begin in high school. But more and more information is available on the Internet,
not only for young people but also for adults. The goal is to teach about saving, investing (投资) and using
money.
The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established in 2003. This
government group takes charge of financial education efforts through nineteen federal agencies. Information
on financial education can be found at its Web site. The address is MyMoney.gov. It includes links to
agencies that deal with banking, buying a home, investing and other areas.
The National Council on Economic Education has found that seventeen states now require high school
students to take a class in economics. This number has grown from thirteen in 1998. As of three years ago,
half of all states required students to take a class in personal finance. Yet that number has fallen, from
twenty-five to twenty-two. The National Council on Economic Education sells textbooks for grades four
through twelve. It also offers free materials for teachers. The information is available at ncee.net.
Teachers say parents also need to play a larger part in educating their children about money. A recent
study found that seventy percent of college students said they received financial advice mainly from their
parents. Investment companies also offer information. Charles Schwab, for example, has a Web site to help
parents teach their kids about money and investing. The address is SchwabMoneyWise.com.
One of the first tastes of financial independence that many young people get is through summer jobs.
Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches young people about finance and business. It says almost
three-fourths of young people questioned said they planned to have a summer job.
B. ncee.net

Read and answer the following questions.
to beaches, mountains to flatlands. These conditions help create all sorts of weather: mild, moderate and
extreme. Sometimes all in one day! In the summer, some areas get very hot and the air is very wet. But others
have dry air, so the heat does not feel so bad.
In the winter, parts of the country get cold and snowy while others stay warm and sunny. This is the
difference between, for example, New York City on the East Coast and Los Angeles on the West Coast. Yet
even the East Coast has its warm places in winter, like Florida.
The oceans affect weather along the coasts. The Pacific coast has smaller temperature changes and calmer
conditions than along the Atlantic.
Alaska and Hawaii are the only states not connected to the forty-eight mainland states. Alaska is in the
Arctic area, so it gets very cold. Hawaii, out in the Pacific, is warm all year long.
Weather in the central and northeastern parts of the country is affected by cold air from Canada and warm
air from the Caribbean. Conditions can change quickly.
Hurricanes are ocean storms that strike mainly in the Southeast. The hurricane season is, officially, June
through November. Tornadoes are a risk across the country. These are locally severe windstorms. They
generally happen in spring and summer.
In fact, March eighteenth happens to be the eightieth anniversary of the most deadly tornado in United
States history. The nineteen twenty-five"Tri-State Tornado" hit parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The
National Weather Service says the horrible twister killed nearly seven hundred people.
