   Do you like to learn about what is in the world around you?Do you often notice things that your friends don't notice?When you become interested in something,do you ask people about it and read books about it?Do you sometimes do experiments to find answers?If so,then you think in much the same way that a scientist thinks.

In school and at home no doubt you will read about scientific discoveries. Are there any good ways to help you read science then?Let's consider each of the four rules that you should follow.

1. KEEP YOUR MIND ON WHAT YOU ARE READING. Surely no one can successfully read a science article or a science textbook while thinking of other things. Many a car has run through a stop light because a careless driver was thinking of something besides his driving. The same thing is true of reading. If you think of nothing else while you are reading,you will become a better reader.

2. KNOW WHY YOU READ. The chapter titles and subtitles in science articles are usually worded in such a way that they attract your curiosity(好奇心)and make you want to read. They often tell you what you are going to read about and why you should read. The questions found at the beginning of the chapters guide you toward the information you want. Knowing why you read will help you become a better reader in science.

3. KNOW THE MEANING AND THE PRONUNCIATION OF EVERY WORD. Through the context,word structure rules and the glossary(词汇表)in your science book,you can discover the meaning and the pronunciation of most words in the articles. If a word is not in the glossary,use the dictionary.

4. FIT YOUR SPEED TO YOUR NEED. To get all the important information from your science book,you must read by degrees and carefully. Directions for experiments demand especially careful reading. If you misread them,the experiment may fail and you may reach wrong conclusions.

【小题1】The first paragraph mentions all the following fine qualities of a scientist except ________.
A.curiosityB.self-confidence
C.powerful observationD.an eager desire for knowledge
【小题2】You can know a word's meaning through the use of the following except _______.
A.a dictionaryB.word structure rules
C.context cluesD.experiments
【小题3】What is the meaning of the underlined words in Paragraph 6?
A.Slowly.B.Frequently.
C.Calmly.D.Immediately.
【小题4】This passage is about how to ______.
A.make scientific discoveries
B.carry out experiments
C.read science books or science articles
D.get important information from books

Keep Calm During the Hard Times

When life gets hard, sometimes it's not easy to control yourself and not to sink deep into the bad feelings. Have you ever wondered how some people can be so calm during the hard times?【小题1】 Here are four things you can do to get through hard times.

Cry if you need to-for a while. Some people like to control themselves.【小题2】 If you do control them, it's like holding a ball under the water. You can do it for a while, but it will finally come back to the surface. So have a good cry once in a while to help you think more clearly.【小题3】 Lost in the bad emotions, we won't change anything. Let's say you just lost your job. Maybe it is a shock. After crying, then you should make the decision to put your calm hat on. Start to find new jobs. Then do something.

Ask for help. Unluckily, a lot of people think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. It's not!【小题4】 Nowhere! Having other people support you will make you feel like you have more power than before.

Believe that things will get better. If you don't believe that things will change, then they won't. I always love Henry Ford's words, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't-you are right." If you think things will get better, then they finally will. If you think they won't, then they won't.【小题5】

Stay calm when life gets hard. If you practice these steps on a regular basis, sooner or later it will become second nature to you.

A.Find the solution.
B.Remember that it won't last forever.
C.Your belief shapes your experience.
D.But controlling your feelings doesn't always help.
E.Would you like to use some ways that keep you calm during the hard times?
F.Somewhere in the world, someone has it a lot worse than you right at this moment.
G.Where has it ever been written that everyone needs to go through the difficulties alone?

Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student

Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA (Grade-Point Average) above a 3.0. 【小题1】Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is different, good study habits are very important. Here  are several habits you should adopt to get good grades.

【小题2】 If you haven’t had a planner (规划薄), get one. Many people use their computers and smartphones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions. Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner.

Create a weekly schedule. 【小题3】 Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to school work. That way you know exactly how much you can accomplish each day.

Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed. 【小题4】 If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or a quick chat with a friend.

Take care of yourself. During final exam week, it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular meals. Studying while hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run. Also try to make time for friends and family. 【小题5】

Good learners share what they' ve learned.
