　　1

　　A. Schedule your time

　　B. Use lists to set priorities (优先权)

　　C. Learn how to read

　　D. Take good notes and use them

　　E. Get everything organised

　　F. Take every chance to studyThe kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of straight-A students.

　　1.

　　Among the students we interviewed, study times were strictly a matter of personal preference. Some worked late at night when the house was quiet. Some learned new words while brushing their teeth. Others awoke early. Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.

　　2.

　　In high school, Jim McCray ran track, played soccer and was in the band and orchestra. “I was so busy, I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it, ”he says. He maintains two folders—one for the day’s assignments, the other for papers completed and graded.

　　3.

　　“The best class I ever took, ”says Christopher Campbell, who graduated from high school last spring, “was speed-reading. I not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book’s table of contents, graphs and pictures first. Then, when I began to read, I had a sense of the material and solved the secret of good reading that an active reader is the one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message. ”

　　4.

　　When a teacher assigns a long paper, Domenica draws up a timetable, dividing the project into small pieces so it isn’t so overwhelming. “It’s like eating a steak, ”she says, “You chew it one bite at a time. ”Of course, even the best students delay action sometimes. But when that happens, they face up to it. Sometimes it comes down to late nights. But if they want As, they make sure to hit the deadline.

　　5.

　　“Reading the textbook is important, ”says Anderson, “but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized. I usually write down key points from the text on one side and those from the teacher’s lecture on the other. Then I am able to review both aspects of the assignment at once. ”Just before the bell rings, most students get ready to rush out. Anderson uses those few minutes to write a two-or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s principal points, which he scans before the next day’s class.

　　The most important “secret” of the super-achievers is not so secret. You can learn and master them and become an A student, too.

　　2

　　A. Live below your means.

　　B. Always stay positive.

　　C. Educate yourself.

　　D. Working towards a dream.

　　E. Develop lasting personal relationships.

　　F. Stay in shape.

　　1.

　　We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive dinner, or take out a loan for the car we can’t afford. It might feel great at the time but hasty (匆忙的) spending hurts a lot later on. Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness. Careful spending will bring you greater enjoyment in the long run.

　　2.

　　To be happy we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life-long education. This doesn’t mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day. Self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas.

　　3.

　　Suppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget about them. Taking the time to develop and enjoy personal relationships is important to long-term happiness.

　　4.

　　Even if your life isn’t perfect, you can always build towards a goal. The best way to do this is working towards a goal. We can’t control everything about our lives, but working towards a goal gives us something positive to focus on and lays the foundation for future success. No matter what your passion is, get out there and start doing something.

　　5.

　　You only get one body. Once it is ruined, there isn’t much you can do about it. Exercise to keep the body working well. Avoid eating too much damaging substances and unhealthy foods. It may feel terrible at the time but enjoying good health in your later years is worth the sacrifice.
