Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school at all. Fortunately he had a strong-willed , caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, “ Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe.” She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother. “ You have to get success,” said she. “All the people who work hard dont succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.” These words came from a woman less than a third grade education(schooling). She also knew that belief and hard work dont mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her sonthen 15to Chicago. Chicago in 1933 was not the Promised Land that black southerners were looking for. Johns mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of wordsas editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks. While others discouraged him, Johns mother offered him more words to live by: “ Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine. It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mothers words in mind. “ Son, failure is not in your vocabulary.” Now John H.

C How to Study Smarter, Not Harder Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder: Recite As You Study Recitingsaying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding. Take Fuller Notes Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words. Study the Middle The best time to review is soon after youve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review. Sleep On It Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. Its easier to remember material youve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after youve fallen asleep. Combine Memory and Understanding There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding. The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again. 43. You can notice your mistakes by _. A. saying things out aloud B. taking notes C. studying the middle D. sleeping on it 44. When taking notes, you should _ to better help you with reading. A. underline important notes B. write notes in your own words C. take down every detailD. write as quickly as possible 45. The writer advises you to _ as it is easier for you to remember material. A. study after a period of activityB. do some exercise after studying C. study as soon as you get upD. study before going to sleep 46. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding? A. Thinking about an idea in different ways. B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know. C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop. D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again. D Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸). Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches. Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
