Maybe you are an average(一般的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.
Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a plan of your time. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don' t forget to set enough time for entertainment(娱乐). A weekly plan may not work out all your problems, but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials(材料). No game, radio, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate(集中精力) on your subject.
Make good use of your time. Listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude(态度) to tests. The purpose(目的) of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don' t pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
There are other ideas that might help you with your studying. You will probably find many others after you have tried these.

Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before? "There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986," said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global temperature went up by 0.74℃, the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4℃ in only 50 years.
China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission, because it's the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20 percent and pollution emission by 10 percent.
Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.
Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.
● Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother's, sister's or dad's old T-shirt means you save the energy.
● Change your light bulbs. Use energy-saving light bulbs. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!
● Ride the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.
● Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets.
● Open a window. Don't use the air conditioner, and let some fresh air in. When you have to use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in summer and lower in winter to save energy.
● Make small changes in your daily life. Don't use paper cups, bags and boxes. It's time for all of us to do something to save the earth.

I'm confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence(暴力) is the least civilized(文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?
When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees(难民) exist, too.
A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don't think bombs(炸弹) can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and caring, and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom(智慧) and talk it over?
Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don't they act as what they say?

A long time ago, Roman soldiers came to make war to Scotland. The Scots(苏格兰人) loved their country very much. They fought hard against their enemy(敌人), but there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men.” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight against the Romans again. We must win or we will die.” They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were only four guards(卫兵) on duty, but they too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they arrived at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟, 一种叶子带刺的野生植物). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute, the Scots were all ready to fight. They fought very bravely and won in the end.
