Want to know how to improve your grades ;
without having to spend more time studying? ;
Sounds too good to be true? Well,read on... ;
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR STUDY HABITS ;
Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. ;
You do well enough in school, but you probab -ly think you will never be a top student ;
This is not necessarily the case,however. ;
You can receive better grades if you want to. ;
Yes,even students of average intelligence ;
can be top students without additional work. ;
Here＇s how: 1.Plan your time carefully. ;
Make a list of your weekly tasks. ;
Then make a schedule or chart of your time. ;
Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping,meetings, classes,etc. ;
Then decide on good, regular times for studying. ;
Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading ;
and work assignments. ;
Of course,studying shouldn＇t occupy all of the free time on the schedule. ;
It＇s important to set aside time for relaxation, ;
hobbies,and entertainment as well. ;
This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, ;
but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. ;
Furthermore,it will enable you to plan your activities ;
so that you have adequate time for both work and play. ;
2.Find a good place to study.Choose one place for your study area. ;
It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, ;
but it should be comfortable,and it should not have distractions. ;
When you begin to work,you should be able to concentrate on the subject. ;
3.Skim before you read. ;
This means looking over a passage quickly ;
before you begin to read it more carefully. ;
As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content an -d how it is organized ;
Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material ;
and you may skip some of these portions. ;
Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well. ;
4.Make good use of your time in class. ;
Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. ;
Sit where you can see and hear well. ;
Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says. ;
5.Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. ;
Review important points mentioned in class ;
as well as points you remain confused about. ;
Read about these points in your textbook. ;
If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, ;
skim and read that material too. ;
This will help you understand the next class. ;
If you review your notes and textbook regularly, ;
the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. ;
Regular review leads to improved performance on tests. ;
6.Develop a good attitude about tests. ;
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. ;
The world won＇t end if you don＇t pass a test, ;
so don＇t worry excessively about a single test.Tests provide grades, ;
but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, ;
and they help make your new knowledge permanent. ;
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. ;
Only a few have been mentioned here. ;
You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. ;
Talk with your classmates about their study techniques. ;
Share with them some of the techniques you have found to be helpful. ;
Improving your study habits will improve your grades. ;

Text ;
At sixty-five Francis Chichester set out to sail single-handed round the world. ;
This is the story of that adventure. ;
SAILING ROUND THE WORLD ;
Before he sailed round the world single-handed, ;
Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. ;
He had tried to fly round the world but failed. ;
That was in 1931. The years passed. ;
He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. ;
Chichester was already 58 years old ;
when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. ;
His old dream of going round the world came back, ;
but this time he would sail. ;
His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, ;
as he had lung cancer. ;
But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. ;
In August,1966,at the age of nearly sixty-five, ;
an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life. ;
Soon,he was away in his new 16-meter boat,Gipsy Moth. ;
Chichester followed the route of the great nineteenth century clipper ships. ;
But the clippers had had plenty of crew. Chichester did it all by himself, ;
even after the main steering device had been damaged by gales. ;
Chichester covered 14,100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. ;
This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. ;
He arrived in Austral- ia on 12 December,just 107 days out from England. ;
He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family ;
who had flown there to meet him. ;
On shore,Chichester could not walk without help. ;
Everybody said the same thing:he had done enough; ;
he must not go any further.But he did not listen. ;
After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more ;
in spite of his friends＇ attempts to dissuade him. ;
The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, ;
during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn. ;
On 29 January he left Australia. ;
The next night, the blackest he had ever known, ;
the sea became so rough that the boat almost turned over. ;
Food,clothes,and broken glass were all mixed together. ;
Fortunately,the damage to the boat was not too serious. ;
Chichester calmly got into bed and went to sleep. ;
When he woke up,the sea had become calm again. ;
Still,he could not help thinking that if anything should happen, ;
the nearest person he could contact by radio, ;
unless there was a ship nearby,would be on an island 885 miles away. ;
After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, ;
Chichester sent the following radio message to London: ;
＂I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. ;
Wild horses could not drag me down to Cape Horn ;
and that sinister Southern Ocean again.＂ ;
Just before 9 o＇clock on Sunday evening 28 May,1967, ;
he arrived back in England, ;
where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him. ;
Queen Elizabeth II knighted him with the very sword that ;
Queen Elizabeth I had used almost 400 years earlier to knight Sir Francis Drake ;
after he had sailed round the world for the first time. ;
The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. ;
It had taken him nine months,of which the sailing time was 226 days. ;
He had done what he wanted to accomplish. Like many other adventurers, ;
Chichester had experienced fear and conquered it. ;
In doing so,he had undoubtedly learnt something about himself. ;
Moreover,in the modern age when human beings depend so much on machines, ;
he had given men throughout the world new pride. ;

Unit Three ;
Text ;
They say that blood is thicker than water, ;
that our relatives are more important to us than others. ;
Everyone was so kind to the old lady on her birthday. ;
Surely her daughter would make an even bigger effort to please her? ;
THE PRESENT ;
It was the old lady＇s birthday. ;
She got up early to be ready for the post.From the second floor flat ;
she could see the postman when he came down the street, ;
and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters ;
on the rare occasions when anything came. ;
Today she was sure there would be something. ;
Myra wouldn＇t forget her mother＇s birthday, ;
even if she seldom wrote at other times. ;
Of course Myra was busy. Her husband had been made Mayor, ;
and Myra herself had got a medal for her work for the aged. ;
The old lady was proud of Myra,but Enid was the daughter she loved. ;
Enid had never married but had seemed content to live with her mother, ;
and teach in a primary school round the corner. ;
One evening,however, Enid said, ;
＂I＇ve arranged for Mrs.Morrison to look after you for a few days,Mother. ;
Tomorrow I have to go into hospital-- just a minor operation. ;
I＇ll soon be home.＂ In the morning she went, ;
but never came back --she died on the operating table. ;
Myra came to the funeral, ;
and in her efficient way arranged for Mrs.Morrison to come in ;
and light the fire and give the old lady her breakfast. ;
Two years ago that was and since then Myra had been to see her mother three times, ;
but her husband never. ;
The old lady was eighty today.She had put on her best dress. ;
Perhaps--perhaps Myra might come. ;
After all,eighty was a special birthday, ;
another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it. ;
Even if Myra did not come,she would send a present. ;
The old lady was sure of that.Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. ;
She was excited-- like a child.She would enjoy her day. ;
Yesterday Mrs. Morrison had given the flat an extra clean, ;
and today she had brought a card and a bunch of marigolds ;
when she came to do the breakfast. ;
Mrs.Grant downstairs had made a cake, ;
and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. ;
The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, ;
and said he wouldn＇t go out to play until the post had come. ;
＂I guess you＇ll get lots and lots of presents,＂he said. ;
＂I did last week when I was six.＂ ;
What would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps.Or a new cardigan. ;
A cardigan would be lovely.Blue＇s such a pretty colour. ;
Jim had always liked her in blue.Or a table lamp. ;
Or a book,a travel book,with pictures, or a little clock, ;
with clear black numbers.So many lovely things. ;
She stood by the window,watching. ;
The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. ;
Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate. ;
Then clatter,clatter up the stairs. Johnnie knocked at her door. ;
＂Granny, granny,＂ he shouted,＂I＇ve got your post.＂ ;
He gave her four envelopes.Three were unsealed cards from old friends. ;
The fourth was sealed, in Myra＇s writing. ;
The old lady felt a pang of disappointment. ;
＂No parcel,Johnnie?＂ ＂No,granny.＂ ;
Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post.That was it. ;
It would come later by parcel post.She must be patient. ;
Almost reluctantly she tore the envelope open. ;
Folded in the card was a piece of paper. ;
Written on the card was a message under the printed Happy Birthday-- ;
Buy yourself something nice with the cheque,Myra and Harold. ;
The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. ;
Slowly the old lady stooped to pick it up.Her present,her lovely present. ;
With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits. ;
