One of the worst feelings in the world is trying your hardest at something but still fail. In the case of schoolwork, studying for hours and bringing home disappointing grades may make you feel hopeless, but this is far from the truth. If you are dealing with disappointing grades, change your study habits. 1..

·Act fast

2.. Don’t sit around, and definitely don’t ignore them. Instead, admit that you need help and go in search of it soon. The faster you face up to the problem, the faster you can find a solution and see some results.

·3.

Remember, if you keep doing the same thing all the lime you’ll undoubtedly keep getting the same results. Mix things up by asking for help, whether from a friend or fellow student, your teacher or a private tutor.

• Set up a dedicated workspace

Sitting for hours at the kitchen table trying to ignore your family, or opening your books in front of the television does not make for successful studying. 4.. Get into the habit of settling into this workspace whenever you have schoolwork to do and soon you’ll be flying through your homework.

• Learn from your mistakes

If you are having trouble with a particular kind of question in the exam papers and homework, don’t be discouraged. 5.. Request an appointment with your teacher and use this time to discuss your work and get his / her advice as well.

A. Ask for Help

B. Find out the reasons

C. You’d better form a habit

D. You’ll be amazed by the results

E. It is time to figure out exactly where you are going wrong

F. Instead, find a quiet space away from the rest of your family

G. The most important rule about dealing with disappointing grades is to take immediate actions

I am traveling home. It is bitterly cold and snowy, but the warm train is right on time. I feel pleasantly satisfied as I look out at the rush hour traffic on the motorway. I feel more satisfied as the smell of fresh coffee announces the arrival of the drinks service. Swiss friends often tell me, proudly, that their rail service is the best in the world, but recently, one experience has proved that the great Swiss love affair with their railway has turned a little sour.

It all began with the decision to end ticket sales on trains. One cold morning I arrived at my local station only to find that the ticket machine was broken. No matter, I thought, I have got a smart phone, and I hurriedly set about buying my ticket that way. This was not as easy as I had expected, busying myself between credit card and phone with freezing cold fingers, but, by the time I got on the train to Geneva I had an e-ticket and I proudly showed it to the conductor. Unfortunately she told me that my ticket was not valid. Several weeks later a letter arrived from Swiss railways together with a fine for 190 francs ($ 210).

The good people there tell me the formal payment for my ticket from my credit card company arrived four minutes after my train left the station. That means, they say, that I bought my ticket on the train—and that is strictly prohibited.

Swiss railways say their policy is designed to protect honest ticket-paying passengers, but a quick look at their balance sheet suggests something else. The company is making about $2 million a month from fines.

Although train travel is still popular, those seats do not feel as comfortable; the coffee does not smell quite so good—because Swiss railways have lost, for now anyway, something far more precious than $2 million a month: good relations with their customers.

1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A. The Swiss trains usually come late.

B. Traffic on the motorway goes smoothly.

C. The author hates traveling on the Swiss train.

D. The author is generally pleased with the Swiss rail service.

2.Why did the conductor say that the author’s e-ticket was invalid?

A. It was purchased online.

B. It was paid for after the train’s departure.

C. It was purchased on a ticket machine.

D. It was paid on a smart phone.

3.What does the author want to show by telling the experience?

A. The fine was unfair.

B. The conductor was impolite.

C. E-tickets are getting popular.

D. Credit cards can be inconvenient.

4.What does the author think of the new policy of Swiss railways?

A. It attracts more people to travel by train.

B. It makes the company lose a lot of money.

C. It damages company-customer relations.

D. It protects honest ticket-paying passengers.

Six Chinese survived the tragedy of the Royal Mail Ship Titanic, but disappeared soon after. Now a British documentarian, Arthur Jones, will uncover stories and histories of discrimination.

There were eight Chinese between the ages of 24 and 37 on the Titanic, sharing one 59-pound third-class ticket, but only six survived from its sinking. When they arrived in the United States, they were not helped like the other 705 survivors. Instead they were forced to leave the country within 24 hours because of the Chinese Exclusion Act signed in 1882.

Some westerners questioned the six Chinese survivors as stowaways and claimed that they survived because they secretly climbed on the lifeboat or dressed as women to board lifeboats.

But after visiting foreign documents, museums and cooperating with American and Chinese historians, Jones believes they did not do anything disgraceful in order to survive the disaster. ''This is not only a story about the survivors of Titanic, but also a story of a group of brave Chinese people exploring the outside world at that time, '' he said.

When the ship hit an iceberg, like other third-class passengers the eight Chinese were released from the locked gates at last, but not allowed to board the lifeboat. Luckily, four of them boarded a small broken boat, and one was rescued by another lifeboat. Another one, Fang Lang, floated on a piece of wooden board in the sea. The only returning lifeboat saved him from freezing.

To restore their real stories, Jones and his team found Fang Lang's son in Wisconsin, US. Also, Jones will visit Taishan city in south China's Guangdong province, recorded as the survivors' hometown. The filmmakers also established a website, whoarethesix.com, for more clues.

Ordinarily, people think of Titanic as a story of rich white people, but don't know there were people from all over the world, including Chinese. ''Their stories are never told, '' Jones said.

The documentary The Six is expected to be released in China late this year.

1.What can we learn about the Chinese Exclusion Act?

A.It put Chinese at disadvantage.

B.It was completed within 24 hours.

C.It aimed to help Chinese passengers.

D.It forbad Chinese to buy first-class tickets.

2.What might Jones think of the six Chinese survivors?

A.Adventurous but dishonest. B.Lucky but disgraceful.

C.Brave and innocent. D.Poor and questionable.

3.What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about?

A.Some amazing findings about the survivors.

B.Jones and his team's visit to different people.

C.Jones’ efforts to restore the stories of the Chinese.

D.Some information about the survivors' hometown.

4.What is the purpose of the film The Six?

A.Tell the true story of the six Chinese survivors.

B.Research into the way the six Chinese survived.

C.Criticize American's discrimination against Chinese.

D.Describe the hardship of Chinese living in America.

Insects could disappear within a century at current rate of decline, says Global Review.

The world’ s insects are moving quickly down the path to dying out, indicating a disastrous collapse（崩溃）of nature’ s ecosystems is likely to happen, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction（灭绝）is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.

“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web—they pollinate（授粉） the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or hate them, we humans cannot survive without insects,” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.

The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides（杀虫剂）. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.

One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.

Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said, “It is alarming to see this collation（整理） of evidence that shows the state of the world’ s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’ s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse（反转）these terrible trends.”

1.What did Prof Dave stress in his speech?

A.Insects are vital to food webs.

B.Not all people love insects.

C.Scientists are concerned about insect loss.

D.Humans need certain conditions for survival.

2.Which of the following is most influenced by insect loss?

A.Animals that feed on insects. B.Adaptable animal species.

C.Pests that are used to pesticides. D.Crops produced by intensive agriculture.

3.How did Matt Shardlow sound when talking about the state of insect loss?

A.Relaxed. B.Uncaring.

C.Humorous. D.Worried.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.The extinction rate of insects gets slowed down.

B.The failure of nature’ s ecosystems can be avoided.

C.Sharp drops in insect numbers endanger ecosystems.

D.Insect extinction harms the diversity of animal species.
