TEXT A，Exercise 5如果学习不认真也没有用。孩子们会说他们学了，成绩却是“C”或“B”，感到很震惊。但边看电视或边打电话边学习不是真正的学习，就像弹钢琴时读书不是真正的读书一样。每天要制定一个好的时间表用于做作业和学习。我知道做到这一点不容易，特别是你确实很忙的时候，但这是勤奋学习中的难点所在。可不要放弃，这并不是做不到的事。 TEXT B学习窍门1能从学习中获

55、得报酬，即便是最低的工资，这难道不 好吗?“嘿，你在哪里工作！”“哦，我在学习。报酬不错，不仅每小时挣5.5美元，而且我还变得更聪明。”2这好极了！但这只可能发生在我们的梦里（如果你梦想这种事情）。我们从学习中得到的惟一回报是成绩，无论它是好还是差。学习是一种生活现实。我们必须学习，学习占去我们大部分时间。如果学习不会占去你大部分时间，那么显然你就是一个有特殊天赋、生来就聪明的人。对于剩下的那些没那么得天独厚的学生，我愿与大家共享一些学习的窍门。Part III: Reading Comprehension TEXT B学习窍门3重写你的笔记。我想告诉你的第一个学习技巧，是从头到尾再写一遍你的

56、笔记。我知道你正在想：“她是不是疯了？我已花了一小时写了一遍，而且一遍就足够了！”不错，我知道写笔记已使你手指发酸了，但第二次写笔记会将信息输入到你的脑中。这会使你更容易记住更多你需要记住的“东西”，因为你已写了两次，看了两次。4制作和使用抽认卡。当你必须记住诸如各种定义甚至某些图片等大量信息时，抽认卡很有帮助。抽认卡的惟一缺点是你必须亲自制作并使用它们，而这需要时间。尽管如此，请相信我，这样做是值得的。Part III: Reading Comprehension TEXT B学习窍门5结伴学习。学习可能是一种乐趣，但只有当你与你所喜欢的人一起学习时，才会如此。在一个学习小组中学习，会帮助你

57、对信息的理解，除了老师的那些“费解”的解释之外，还有各种不同的解释。这种方式还会使你保持学习的积极性，因为你知道还有其他一些人需要学习，而这些人又是你的朋友。6让我们面对这样一个事实：学习是我们最不喜欢的事情之一，但为了取得好成绩，你必须牺牲一些时间。我相信这些学习方法将有助于你“减轻痛苦”。有许多学习方法，但我发现这些方法使我受益最大。如果它们不适合你，可尝试其他方法。Part III: Reading Comprehension TEXT BExerciseWhat does the passage mainly discuss?What kind of payment do we usu
