For instance, it is beneficial to treat new words in different ways according to how frequently (2) they occur in everyday use: active words you must practice over and over again (3); useful words you must commit to memory (4); words that seldom occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance (5). It also pays to watch out for (6) idiomatic ways of saying things in English. As idiomatic usage often causes difficulties for Chinese students, you must pay close attention to the way native speakers communicate (7). Language learning is, in fact, an active process (8). Students who make a conscious effort to practice English, who seek out opportunities (9) to use what they have learned, are more successful than those who rely on (10) the teacher to do the whole job. Undoubtedly, it is all important to put into practice (11) through speaking and writing what you have absorbed (12) from reading and listening.The story of Francis Chichester, as retold here, is one of heroism |(大无畏精神)| and adventure in the face of great danger. In spite of (1) his suffering from lung cancer (2), the 65-year-old Chichester was determined (3) to accomplish (4) his dream of sailing single-handed round the world. In August, 1966, he set out (5) from England on the first leg |(一段行程)| of his voyage (6) to Australia. After 107 days at sea, he arrived in Sydney. Due to his weakened condition, his friends made repeated attempts to dissuade (7) him from going any further. He refused to give up (8), however; and after a few weeks rest he set off once again. When he arrived back in England in May 1967, he had covered (9) 28,500 miles, a distance no one had previously (10) sailed alone. He was given a heros welcome. On the occasion (1) of the old ladys eightieth birthday, she waited eagerly to see what kind of present her daughter, Myra, would send to her. Since her first daughter, Enid, had died two years before, the old lady had endured (2) the loneliness of living by herself. It was rare (3) for Myra to visit her mother, but still the old lady was proud of her. She felt sure that her daughter would celebrate her birthday with something special. As she waited for the postman (4), the old lady trembled (5) with excitement because she was quite sure she would receive a lovely present. After all (6), she thought, even if Myra paid little attention to her mother at other times (7), today was a very special day. However, when the postman came, the old lady found to her disappointment (8) that, rather than choosing a special gift, Myra had simply sent her a cheque folded in a card. 阅读理解：How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps 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. Heres how: 1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chartof 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 shouldnt occupy all of the free time on the schedule. Its 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 tests.6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont 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 new knowledge permanent.There are other techniques that might
