Here a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school. 1. Create a personal schedule Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time. A “to do” list would also help him to prioritize (把区分优先次序) his tasks. When it comes to homework, whatever is most important should be tackled first. 2. Watch the clock Setting an alarm for the morning is a must. I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since its always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus, just five minutes can make a significant difference. 3. Focus He should train himself to be able to concentrate solely(单独地) on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise-free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him. 4. Get enough sleep Lack of sleep is proven to take a toll(损耗)on us physically. The more sleep we get, the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle lifes daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight. 5. Stay in shape Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends, he can “blow off some steam” so to speak, as well as re-energize. Encourage him to get outside. 6. Talk through your problems Being able to share his concerns with you will alleviate (缓解) the frustration of keeping things bottled up(抑制). Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with. If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help, not only will you contribute to his emotional health but youll help build an open and honest relationship as well. 1.

Which of the following tips is not given by the author? A. Setting an alarm five minutes ahead. B. Trying to let your child keep 8 hours of sleep a night. C. Stopping your child from playing outside. D. Sharing your feelings with your child.答案 2.CBC 3.A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. He was sad to discover it was a mousetrap. So the mouse proclaimed, “There is a mousetrap in the house!”The chicken came up and raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concerning to you, but it is of no consequence to me.” The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig said, “I am so sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.” The mouse turned to the cow and said so. The cow said, “Wow, Mr. Mouse. Im sorry for you, but its no skin off my nose.” So, the mouse returned to the house, head down, to face the farmers mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the houselike the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught. The snake bit the farmers wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took a knife to the chicken. But his wifes sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmers wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his hole in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesnt concern you, remember we are all at risk. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. 1. The author wrote this passage.
