Here are six steps to better studying.
Pay attention in class
Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.
Take good notes
Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. It’s a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.
Plan ahead for tests and projects
Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesn’t happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.
Break it up
When there’s a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Let’s say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.
Ask for help
You can’t study effectively if you don’t understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If you’re at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help.
Sleep tight
So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan—but suddenly you can’t remember anything! Don’t panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.

Two Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists: Christmas cards and Christmas trees.
Paper cards are seen as wasteful and, for some people, going card-free is another way of going green. They also argue that in a world of e-mail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter, people are in touch all the time anyway; they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends. If you want to send Christmas greetings, there are free e-cards, which get the job done with no postage or wasted paper.
However, especially for people who didn’t grow up with e-mail, there is something missing from a Christmas e-mail. The first Christmas cards appeared in London in 1843 and were designed by the same man who had introduced the world’s first postage stamp three years earlier. His name was Sir Henry Cole.
They rose in popularity throughout the 20th century. Many people sent cards that were sold for charity. The most famous of these are the ones sold for UNICEF. In the UK this year, in the three weeks before Christmas, the post office expects to handle 100 million cards every day. Environmental awareness also means that nowadays many people recycle their cards; this helps raise money to plant more trees, as well as recreating more paper.
When we think of trees at Christmas, there is one that immediately springs(躍入)mind---the evergreen tree that people decorate with ornaments and place their presents under. The custom dates back almost a thousand years to Germany. Nowadays 33 to 36 million Christmas trees are produced in America and 50 to 60 million in Europe each year. Some trees are sold live with roots and soil so people can plant them later and reuse them next year.
Some people prefer artificial trees as they are reusable and much cheaper than their natural alternative. However, environmentalists point out that they are made from petroleum (石油) products and so have many pollution issues.
小題1:What is the main idea of the article?
A．To introduce the history of two typical Christmas traditions.
B．To explain the debate about some Christmas traditions.
C．To analyze how two Christmas traditions grew in popularity.
D．To point out the problems caused by celebrating Christmas.
小題2:What does the underlined word “They” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A．Many peopleB．Christmas e-mailsC．Postage stampsD．Christmas cards
小題3:Some people suggest getting rid of paper cards because     .
a. they cannot be recycled         b. they are not environmentally friendly
c. they are mostly sold for charity  d. the e-cards have many advantages over them
e. they are not as necessary as they used to be for people
A．a(chǎn), b, dB．a(chǎn), c, dC．b, d, eD．b, c, e
小題4:What can we conclude from the article?
A．The first Christmas cards were designed earlier than the world’s first stamps.
B．This year has seen a dramatic drop in Christmas card sales.
C．Environmentalists advise people to buy cards that are sold for charity.
D．Growing environmental awareness is encouraging people to recycle their cards.
小題5:Which of the following statements in TRUE according to the article?
A．There is always a wider Christmas tree market in America than in Europe.
B．The custom of decorating Christmas trees first appeared in Britain.
C．Some people prefer to buy live trees that can be reused next year.
D．Artificial trees are better than natural ones in all aspects.

No one doubts that students should study languages, maths and science in high school, but some may object to the idea that they should study art and music as well. To them, these subjects are useless for students’ future and are not worth the time and effort. In my opinion, however, it is necessary for middle school students to study art and music.
Art and music are a precious culture legacy（遺產(chǎn)）, which bring us pleasure and enjoyment. Have you ever been deeply moved by Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony（第五交響曲）? Have you ever been fascinated by the colorful starry night produced by Vincent Van Gogh in his paint? Have you ever longed for the moving love between the Butterfly Lovers when you hear this well-known Chinese melody（曲調(diào)）? Art and music are not only images and sounds, but something beyond them. They are the products of passion and human wisdom（智慧）.
Art and music help make students more creative. Artists and musicians are considered the most creative people in the world. It is because art and music sharpen their senses and provide a different perspective (視角) for them to see the world. Many great scientists benefited from art and music. Einstein, the greatest physicist in the 20th century, as well as an excellent violin player, is a good example.
Enjoying art and music is also a good way to relax. Middle school students, who typically carry heavy burdens of study, will definitely（明確地）benefit from it.
To sum up, art and music should absolutely be included in the middle school courses, for they can bring students pleasure and relaxation.
小題1:According to the author, people who think art and music are useless for middle school students __________.
A．don’t understand the value of art and music
B．don’t know the history of art and music at all
C．never benefit from artists and musicians
D．know little about the trend of future education
小題2:In paragraph 2, the author tries to argue that __________.
A．Beethoven is one of the greatest musicians
B．a(chǎn)rt and music help express people’s emotions
C．a(chǎn)rt and music are precious pictures and sounds
D．a(chǎn)rt and music bring people joy and quality life
小題3:The example of Einstein is used to __________.
A．show the importance of creativity
B．prove that scientists are creative
C．encourage students to study art and music
D．provide students with a new way to see the world
小題4:Which of the following is an effective way for middle school students to study?
A． Relaxing themselves regularly while studying.
B． Attending concerts during holidays or after school.
C． Avoiding too much homework by studying art and music.
D． Listening to music while studying language, maths or other subjects.
小題5:Which of the following is used to support the writer’s opinion?
A．Art and music help people become scientists.
B．Art and music provide people with more opportunities.
C．Art and music are beneficial to students in other subjects.
D．Art and music are helpful to make students creative learners.

When you get in your car, you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modem life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality. Sounds extreme, but we' ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell - phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e - mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents.  " Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends," he says.
If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only l million cell phones in use.  Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.
小題1: From the first two paragraphs, we can know________.
A．cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes
B．cell phone addiction is good for building personal relationships
C．people are longing to have their own cell phones
D．cell phones are the same as cigarettes
小題2:Cell phone addiction has caused the following effects EXCEPT________  .
A．a(chǎn) barrier to personal contact B．fewer friends
C．a(chǎn)n escape from reality D．a(chǎn) serious illness
小題3: The underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 2 means “________. ”
A．ignore B．control C．develop D．rescue
小題4:The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that________  .
A．women Use cell phones more often than men
B．talking on the phone while driving is dangerous
C．cell phones do not necessarily bring people together
D．cell phones make one - on - one personal contact easy
小題5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Cell phones Are the New Cigarettes
B．Cell phones Are Harmful to the Society
C．The New Report about the Cell phone
D．The Disadvantages of the Cell phone

Sea lions and seals may swim in cold ocean water, but even they get chilly sometimes. Seeing an injured seal wrapped in a blanket at a marine(海的) mammal center gave Haley Humes and Hayley Jeffries an idea for a special Girl Scout project. They decided to make blankets to keep injured animals warm. They would give these blankets to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, California.
“We knew we wanted to help animals,” Haley said. “We went to the center to ask questions about what they needed. They don’t have a heated floor, and all the babies crowded together to stay warm.”
Friends since kindergarten, Haley and Hayley made 12 blankets to keep the Marine Mammal Center’s seals and sea lions warm. Using fun images like Winnie-the-Pooh, the girls took two hours to make each blanket. The first sea lion to test out a blanket looked pretty in pink.
“It was a sick baby and really liked it,” Haley said. “It curled up in it right away.”
“The blankets are beautiful and the animals love them!” said the Mammal Center’s Michele Hunter. “It’s nice to see children taking pride in their work and doing something to help animals.”
During the project, the girls took dozens of pictures for the PowerPoint presentations they gave to Girl Scout leaders. Those presentations helped Haley and Hayley raise $250 to buy additional supplies the center needed.
This was the first project the girls ever worked on and took months to plan and carry out.
“I learned that in order to make something happen, you have to take it slowly and step by step,” Hayley said. Just as important, the girls discovered that two people really can make a difference. “Knowing you’re making a difference……with these animals is amazing,” Haley said. “It was like the animals became my new friends.”
The Pacific Marine Mammal Center cares for sea lions and seals, as well as for other marine mammals. Since opening in 1971,the center has saved more than 5,000 injured marine mammals.
小題1:          What does the underlined word“ chilly” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Sick. B．Cold.C．Afraid. D．Bored.
小題2:          When Haley and Hayley saw an injured seal wrapped in a blanket, they_____.
A．decided to help animalsB．a(chǎn)sked Girl Scout for help
C．went to the animal center to work.D．called on others to protect animals
小題3:          What can we learn about Haley and Hayley from the text?
A．They raised $2,500 for the Mammal Center.
B．They made 120 blankets by themselves.
C．It took them an hour to make a blanket.
D．They felt great about what they did.
小題4:          Which of the following words can best describe the work of Haley and Hayley?
A．Difficult.B．Successful.C．Experimental.D．Dangerous.
小題5:          According to the text, the Mammal Center_____.
A．has a history of about 40 years
B．has an advanced heating system
C．has saved ten thousand animals so far
D．protects both land and marine mammals

Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal’s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer?
This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes — clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result are electronic garments.
If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable!! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say.
The Electrotextiles team has also created the world’s first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These ‘lap- tap’ gadgets(器具) are all set to take over laptop computers!
Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(風帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
小題1:. The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that ______.
A．they feel smooth and soft
B．they use electricity as power
C．they can be washed in water
D．they are made from flexible materials
小題2:. How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?
A．Body heat will be used as power.
B．The wearer will not get shocked.
C．A tiny nine-volt battery will work.
D．They will get charged automatically.

A．The laptop computer.B．The electronic ski jacket.
C．The shirt-cum-mobile phone.D．The world’s first cloth keyboard.
小題4:. If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?
A．The cloth keyboard.B．The electronic ski jacket.
C．The necktie to be used as a mouse.D．The denim jacket with earphones.
小題5:. The main purpose of the text is ______.
A．to advertise for an English companyB．to predict the future trend of science

When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!"  Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."
If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.
There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.
小題1:A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may ________.
A．care nothing about itB．develop a sense of anger
C．do something uncool purposelyD．pretend to get hurt very much
小題2:A teacher can help an unpopular child by ________.
A．seeing the child as the teacher's favourite
B．a(chǎn)sking the child to do something for partners
C．forcing other children to make friends with the child
D．offering the child chances to show his good qualities
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Children don’t care others' comments on them.
B．It's only teacher's work to make children popular.
C．Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.
D．Inviting children's friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.
小題4:The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．how to help an unpopular child
B．why some children are unpopular
C．who is responsible for unpopular children
D．how to find out good points of unpopular children
