Not too long ago, a young man asked me a question: how do you make study more fun? You can improve your study habits and make your process more enjoyable. It’s a matter of many things.

Manage your time

1. All it takes is sitting down with a calendar, and just mapping out everything you need to do and the time you need to do it: projects, tests, part-time work, homework, parties, doctor appointments.

Set the mood

First, choose a good study area. 2. Your spot may be in your dorm/bedroom or the library. If you prefer to lie on your bed or sit in a corner of the library, develop a study routine that will allow you to focus. Clean spaces are said to improve productivity. To help you focus, turn off your phone! And while you're at it, limit your access to the Internet.

Make it a game

Are you the competitive type? Try competing against yourself. 3. Or try joining or starting a study group with fiends and take bets on who can get the most right answers when doing homework.

Take breaks

In that hour or two you’ve scheduled for studying, make sure you also give yourself enough breaks. Set a timer-even a short one, like 25 minutes-and work during that time. When the timer goes off, give yourself a few minutes to relax, drink some water, etc. 4.

Reward yourself Sweet treats and other snacks often come to mind as a “reward”, and that might work for you, but it’s also probably not a great idea to eat a bag of potato chips after every 25-minute study session. Rewards can be as simple as allowing yourself to watch some interesting videos. 5.

A. And we mean a specific, unique spot.

B. it’s important to realize and make peace with the fact that studying isn’t always going to be “fun”.

C. You can learn how to learn more effectively.

D. Then set another timer and dive back into your studying.

E. Or you can set goals, and then buy yourself something fun when you meet them.

F. Time management may be the secret weapon to succeeding at everything!

G. See if you can improve your reading speed to get yourself under a certain number of pages in five minutes.

Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered ,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.

“Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.

Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:

It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6^th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples(波纹) go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do.

I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.

1. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?

A．Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.

B．Because the writer was insincere.

C．Because the student was naughty.

D．Because the answer was difficult to understand.

2. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?

A．The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.

B．The writer’s answer made the student confused.

C．In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.

D．The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.

3. We can infer from the text that________.

A．the writer was also a good teacher in school

B．the writer often plays with her students beside a pond

C．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students

D．the writer often accompanies the students on their way home.

Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I do night and day something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.

“Let me get this clear,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty(风趣的).

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the small waves go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have waves without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I try to do.

I genuinely（真正地） love teenagers.

I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and I can help students avoid some potholes(坑) on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories（胜利） with them, I want to do too.

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. A student’s silly question　　 B. A good teacher who likes students

高二英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”  Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”

Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

1.The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.

A. a friend who is ill                            B. a man working at his desk

C. a person having lost a close friend               D. a stranger who looks somewhat worried

2.George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.

A. cheerfulness        B. cleverness          C. ability      D. politeness

3.The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.

A. made him laugh                   B. shown concern for him

C. made fun of him                              D. given him some kind of warning
