语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。学习习惯会影响学习效果,本文就如何养成良好的学习习惯给我们提出了建议。
1.saying there is a famous saying表示“有一句名言”。
2.shows 此处陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时;句子的主语为“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”,谓语动词用单数。
3.included high scores and abundant knowledge和include之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
4.to/towards attitude to/towards表示“对……的态度”。
5.Obviously 根据语境可知,此处应用副词作状语。
6.a diary为可数名词,keep a diary “写日记”,为固定短语,故应用不定冠词a。
7.writing by为介词,后接动名词作宾语。
8.and 这是一个固定句型“祈使句+and+陈述句”。
9.more what's more表示“而且”。
10.as as well 表示“还”。

参考范文:
Dear Alice,
I'm glad to receive your email and thank you for your trusting me.
As we know, stage fright is a common phenomenon. Many people, even the most confident performers can suffer from stage fright. So don't worry — you can overcome it by relaxing your body and mind. Here I give you a few tips.
Firstly, arrive early. Showing up early can calm yourself down and make you feel more at ease. Secondly, talk to members of the audience. It will make you see that the audience are ordinary and friendly people and you'll get more comfortable. Last but not least, slow down. Most public speakers may be speaking fast because they're nervous and want to finish the speech or presentation sooner, but this will actually make it harder.
I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you. I believe you can make it.
Yours,
Li Hua
练(二阅读理解组合练——练短板
(限时:15分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·太原一模)Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job. A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proofreading and problem solving. In an officebased experiment, 88 per cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.
The study also found that 81 per cent completed their work fastest when music was played. And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you're doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.
Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs. During proofreading, dance music, such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all. Dance music also had a positive effect on spellchecking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.
The research, undertaken by Brightonbased Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive. The Music Works experiment revealed a positive correlation between music and productivity. Overall, it showed that when listening to music, nine out of ten people performed better, said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2016·西宁检测一)We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.
__1__ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
● Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7:30 am, try getting up at 7:00 am. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. __2__
● Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
__3__ The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
● Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. __4__ Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
● __5__
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break, go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.
A.Stay Focused on Your Work.
B.Take Breaks When Necessary.
C.If you have an office door, close it.
D.If you work like this, you'll usually save time.
E.Would you want me to make your day longer?
F.I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
