Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.

Study Techniques

You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.

Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.

Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.

Test-taking Skills

All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means: do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.

Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food, too.

When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.

1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.

B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.

C. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.

D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.

2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. Your textbook. B. Your study desk or table.

C. Your dictionary. D. The equipment you need.

3. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.

B. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.

C. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.

D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.

“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.” According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans.

Time for Kids (TFK) gets the great news on the coolest toys for 2014 at the 111th American International Toy Fair.

What’s four days long, bigger than seven football fields, and filled with thousands of toys? It’s Toy Fair 2014!

Each year, hundreds of toy companies from across the country come together in New York City. All kinds of products are shown as a way to know what’s to come in the new year. This year’s trends (款式) include oversize toys. “In 2014, everything is really big and really out there,” says Adrienne Appell, a toy-trends expert.

Toy Fair is the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). Toy-store buyers go to the event to decide which toys they may want to sell during the holiday season. Members of the media, like TFK, go to the fair to report back on all the cool trends. Unfortunately, Toy Fair is not open to the public.

This year’s Toy Fair was the biggest in its 111-year history. More than 1,000 toy companies showed products from simple card games to high-tech robots. “Larger Than Life” was a Toy Fair favorite. This trend is all about big toys with a big play value.

Though it is all fun and games at Toy Fair, we saw lots of products making a push towards education, with STEAM. That stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This trend includes word games. And of course, we saw some super cool, high-tech games. “Technology is always going to influence toys,” says Appell. “This year we saw lots of 3D games, and robots.”

You have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes. 1. . If you’re not sure about where you want to go, you’d better think it over first and not hurry to perform.

2. .This will be your map for getting from ''where you are now'' to ''where you want to go''. You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you want a better job, start with a skill assessment and maybe some extra training. You’ll need to sell yourself and your skills to your new employer.

Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost and you don't know how to get there. 3. . For reading is a valuable source of inspirations.

The final step is to carry it out. 4. .Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them.

New York University (NYU) is one of the best universities in the United States and it has just opened a school in Shanghai in partnership with East China Normal University(ECNU). The arrival of the American university on China mainland is an example of what is being called the “globalization” of education and it is hoped that this trend will influence the quality of education in all of China’s universities by raising the standard of teaching.

NYU Shanghai’s class of 2017(students will graduate in 2017) is made up of 295 students from China, America and other countries. The students will study liberal arts courses for two years before choosing a major and when they graduate, they will receive a degree from NYU and a degree from ECNU. All the classes will be taught in English, using the teaching methods in American universities. Students will be pushed to take risks in the classroom, pushed to speak up and pushed to say things that are not completely correct, which can make them understand that it’s OK for them to make mistakes in class.

This style of learning will be challenging for many Chinese students, because they will be mixed with the foreign students both in the classroom and in the dormitory. Living and studying with foreigners day to day will provide Chinese students with a cultural as well as academic education and it’s hoped that this cross-cultural experience will benefit them when they seek jobs in the competitive global market.

China’s interest in partnering with foreign universities comes at a time when western universities are trying to expand. They realize that information, technology and business are now borderless; they also realize education should be borderless too. This trend will have a deep effect on bringing the world closer together and the students at NYU Shanghai should be excited to be on the leading edge of this trend.

1.The opening of NYU Shanghai class may help _________.

A. improve the quality of China’s university education

B. prove that NYU is the best university in the United States

C. send more Chinese students to foreign universities

D. raise the standard of teaching in American university

2.What is the NYU Shanghai’s class like?

A. It offers the same courses as NYU does in the US.

B. It’s hard to follow the classes without knowing English.

C. The students are majoring in liberal arts courses.

D. Only two-year courses will be provided in this class.

3. How should the students perform in the classroom?

A. They must express themselves correctly.

B. They should try to be active in the class.

C. They will learn something dangerous.

D. They have to correct their mistakes.

4. What can be inferred from Paragraph3?

A. More foreign students will work in Shanghai after graduation.

B. Chinese students will get a better education than foreign students.

C. It may be easier for the students to find jobs after graduation.

D. No foreign students can benefit from the cross-cultural experience.

5.Why are the western universities trying to expand?

A. Because they want to get more information and more money.

B. Because they want to improve their technology.

C. Because Shanghai is on the leading edge in China.

D. Because they think the education resources should be shared.
