Your mum．

A class teacher，in my opinion，plays an important role in a child's development．Every year when my daughter moves to a new class，I have a usual big worry﹣her new class teacher．This year，she is moving to Class Three and I can't wait to see how things are going on．

Last year，my daughter did not like her teacher at all．It was so bad that she did not look forward to school．It was a year full of trouble and worries．

This year，Miss Purity is gentle and humorous．It's hard not to like her．Here are the changes in my daughter．

She becomes an early bird．Last year，mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school．I had to pull her out of bed，tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school．But now，our mornings are like a party．She wakes up early，prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity．

She's happy．She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home．

She's responsible．She used to be careless and forgetful．But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school．She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen

Her diary is full of praises．The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents．Last year，her diary was always full of negative reports．One time，she poured water in a child's lunchbox，another time she threw another kid's textbook in the toilet．Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything．She's always volunteering to clean the blackboard，the teacher's chair and desk．

She does well in school．Finishing her classwork was such a big problem．She had to do it at home．But now，she finished both the classwork and homework at school．

Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media﹣from televisions to video games，computers and other devices（设备）．

So，it is natural that parents should wonder about the time children spend looking at a TV or computer screen．Americans say"screen time"when they talk about any time children spend in front of an electronic device．

阅读短文，将方框里的五个句子还原到短文当中．

Imagine you have a history or math test in school．（76）　　 How should you prepare for this terrible event？

Should you reread your history，math or English books？What about underlining important words or sentences？（77）　　 But are these truly the best methods？

Mary Pym，an American scientist，says that both rereading and underlining are ineffective（无效的）study tools，but better than not studying at all．（78）　　

When you reread something，you are not trying to actively receive the information．It seems that you already know the information because you've already read it．

The problem with underlining is that you don't always know what the most important information is．（79）　　．

What should you do if rereading and underlining are not the best ways to study for a test？

（80）　　 simple cards and practice exams can help when you want to make sure that you have learned something．

No matter what methods you choose，you should know that effective learning takes time and effort．
