Children born under Aquarius (Jan. 21stFeb. 19th) may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mothers exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (怀孕).Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health. Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, “These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”( )51.

CAmerican high schools have a dropout rate (辍学率) of up to 50%. There are many reasons for students leaving school: For two thirds of the dropouts, motivation (动力) is the problem. They cant just work hard enough. Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they could not follow any more. Many said that they were not ready well enough in their earlier school. For a third of them, getting a job is more important than finishing school. High school dropouts have more problems in their future lives. They are more likely to be out of work or live a poor life. There is also a big difference in income (收入) if you compare (比较) high school dropouts with graduates. A study shows Americans with a bachelors degree (学士学位) get about $50,000, those with a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only about $20,000.Many younger students do not understand the influence of dropping out of school. They often need better teachers, more lessons to get good grades in subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools in America have changed this situation. Some schools offer evening classes or allow students to come back at a later age.( )56. In America high school students leave school before they finish it.

But unluckily, most students dont know how to take notes.Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, thats great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.Ask. Dont be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you cant follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates can be good for your learning. It canalso help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.Good note-taking takes time.
