| Tips for being a super-organized student Posted 2 hours ago by Amy I have always admired students who hand in their homework on time and never forget to do it. Me, on the other hand…OK, I admit. I'm terrible at getting myself organized! So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organized? Post your tips below. Thanks! Comments |

Gloria: 25 May, 2021-09:36 Recently I've started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It's helping. Amy: Thanks, Gloria! I agree. |
| |
Nick: 25 May, 2021-08:33 The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until the night before! That's just common sense, I think. Amy: Nice tip. Thanks, Nick. |

Leo: 25 May, 2021-08:06 Hi! Amy. My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divided into different sections. I've got one. It's a whiteboard. I've got a section for each school subject and another one for other stuff. I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I remove something from the board! Amy: Great tip. I've got a board. I'll try to use it in the same way. Thanks, Leo. |

Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework？ You might wish that you could read faster．There are some people who say that you can learn to read at super﹣high speeds． But experts disagree on this idea．
"Speed reading is not actually possible，" said Elizabeth Schotter，a scientist at the University of South Florida， US． Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books．
In fact， speed reading has been made known to people since 1959， when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program． Several US presidents have even asked their officers to take speed reading courses． However， there is no real science behind speed reading．
Schotter explained that reading is a task difficult to finish． It includes four steps： seeing a word， getting back its meaning from your memory， connecting it to other words in the same sentence， and then moving on to the next word．This process uses many parts of the brain at one time． It can't be sped up．
Some people who say they are able to speed read are simply skimming． Skimming involves reading a passage quickly and only looking for certain words or sentences．
Skimmers can figure out the main idea of a passage﹣especially if it's a topic they're familiar with﹣﹣but they will not be able to remember all the pieces of information．
So is there a way to become a faster reader？ Research suggests that you should try to improve the number of your words and simply read more．
（1）According to Schotter， which of the following is TRUE？
A． It's good for students to read at super high speeds．
B． Speed reading courses are supported by real science．
C． Reading includes four steps，it's not easy to finish．
D． Speed reading courses and books are useful for us．
（2）What can we know from Paragraph 5？
A． Skimmers will not forget all the pieces of information．
B． You must read the passage carefully when you are skimming it．
C． Skimming focuses on all the words or sentences of a passage．
D． By skimming， skimmers may find the main idea of a passage．
（3）According to this passage， how to read faster？
A． Learn more words and read more．
B． Taking speed reading courses can help．
C． Read more books about speed reading．
D． See the words at super﹣high speeds．
Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind？For Alison Jenson，15，this used to happen several times a week.Alison was a shopaholic.She just couldn't stop shopping and she loved special offers.
Alison's bedroom is full of stuff. "I've been to every shop in Birmingham，I think， "says Alison.She picks up some earrings.The labels are still on them. "These were half price， "she says. "I've never worn them. "Alison's problem wasn't just jewellery.She also bought a lot of clothes，though not many shoes，because they were usually too expensive.She has also bought lots of other small things - like 20 new covers for her phone.She hasn't used any of them.
According to experts，we all feel excited after we buy something new.For shopaholics，it's a little different.Soon after they buy something，they think they've made a mistake and start to feel unhappy.So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists （心理学家）first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915.However，there was very little research on the subject until recently.Now，doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem，and the situation is getting worse.There are also more teenage shopaholics now，although most young people don't have enough money to go shopping very regularly.
Alison knew she had a problem. "I often bought something every day.Usually it was something small，but I just needed to buy it， "she says. "I spent money that I got for my birthday，and when I was short of cash，I borrowed money from friends or my parents.When I couldn't go shopping，I felt anxious.Then one day，my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said，'This is crazy!' I knew theywere right. "I needed some big changes in my life.
Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed.She no longer thinks she's a shopaholic. "When I want to buy something in a shop，I ask myself two questions， "she says. "Do I need it？Can I afford it？The answer to both questions is usually 'no'，so I walk away.It's great!"

If your pencil box is broken，the batteries（电池）in your flashlights run out，or you have some leftover food，how will you deal with these things？You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin.But actually，we need to sort（分类）all the rubbish separately.If you don't sort your rubbish，all of it will go to a special place where it is buried（埋藏）together.As a result，it will take up some fields.Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater.Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years，some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups：wet，recyclable，harmful and dry.Wet waste is known as household waste.They are things you don't want but pigs can eat.Paper，metal，glass，plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes thins like medicine，batteries.Finally，any waste that is not wet，recyclable or harmful will go to the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish.For example，Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago.Students in Deyang have already received waste﹣sorting guidebooks.They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste﹣sorting efforts.There is still a long way to go.But it's never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly.We should take an active part in it.

It's 2050.The Earth is dying，and moving to Mars seems to be the only way out for humans.A team of American astronauts （宇航员） begin to search on Mars.This is what the movie Red Planet begins with.Known as the Red Planet，Mars is the favourite of writers and filmmakers.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the next planet beyond the Earth.Mars is the only planet whose surface can be seen from the Earth.It is about half size of our planet.
The surface of Mars is more like the Earth than any other planet.But it is further from the Sun than the Earth，so temperatures on Mars are much lower.Plants and animals can not live now on Mars.But many scientists still believe that such life may have been on Mars long ago.
On 6th August，1996，scientists discovered a piece of rock from Mars，which fell to the Earth 13，000 years ago.10 years later，some scientists still didn't accept that there was life on Mars.People may not be sure about life on Mars until a sample （样本） of life is brought back.Some further researches are being done in many countries.If you want to know more，please click www.spaceexploration.com.

Marianne Carus，who started Cricket（蟋蟀）magazine in 1973 and served as Editor﹣in﹣Chief（总主编）until 2012，died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.
Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young. "In Cricket，children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art，and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences.Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures.Most important，Cricket would never talk down to children.
Marianne knew that children were filled with fun，and she wanted Cricket to be，too - "humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. "And so she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs（虫子），such as Lady bung and Spider.
Over the years，Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Cricket readers，including long﹣ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.
▲She considered other names，such as Troubadour or Taliesin，the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then，one night，she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir（回忆录）A Day of Pleasure，about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote：There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do-to tell stories that would never end!So the name Cricket became her best choice.
Thank you for everything，Marianne.May the stories，and the laughter，never end!

It seems that food deliverymen （送货员） are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute，and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue，red or yellow helmets （头盔） and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.
However，not everything goes well with food deliverymen.In the first half of 2017，food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai.That means every two and a half days，a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks？The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine （罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time，reported China Daily.Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.
（1）The underlined phrase "in haste" in Paragraph 1 probably means in Chinese.

匆忙地 |
| B． |
慢慢地 |

If you feel sad or upset，remember not to watch a happy movie.A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University，the U.S.，have found that sad movies can make people happier.They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement.The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated.They died during World War II at the end of the movie.The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before，after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings，including sadness.
According to the result of the survey，scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie.Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships.Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie，their lives were full of hope.
"I want to live my life to the fullest，and this movie has made me think a lot，" one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch﹣Westerwick，the leader of the study，explained that bad moods （情绪） would make people more thoughtful. "Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine.You don't have to worry，and you don't have to think about problems in your life，" she said. "But bad emotions，like sadness，make you feel terrible about your situation.Therefore，seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad，but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more."
