[河南省实验中学2024高一期中] While most people are inspired by the motto (座右铭), “You’re never too old to learn something new,” Kimeila Campbell has proven that a person is never too young to bring about change. Born in Jamaica and later moving to the United States, Kimeila grew up watching her entrepreneur (企业家) mother run an event space.
“Seeing her go through ups and downs made me want to be an entrepreneur too,” said Kimeila, who sometimes helped her mum at Glitz Elite Events Studio. “I thought for my age, maybe I’m too young. But my mum said it could help other kids and teen entrepreneurs instead of just making money for myself.”
With this ambition, she started her own monthly magazine when she celebrated her 14th birthday. Her YNTY Magazine—which stands for You’re Never Too Young—aims to inspire young and upcoming entrepreneurs, influencers and public figures. It is to inspire people younger than 18 to follow their dreams whatever their age.

“Nowadays, teenagers look up to rich women and men on social media and dream to be like them, without any idea of the price they had to pay to get to where they are now,” Kimeila said. “Consider your choices carefully and make goals for where you want to be in the future.”
In the magazine, Kimeila shows hot topics, daily affirmations (每日警句), as well as suggestions from professionals and those who have made it in their industries. Meanwhile, the YNTY Magazine also includes a special part in which necessary steps are given to parents of young entrepreneurs to help and guide their children. “One thing I’d like my readers to know is that… if you believe you can do it, YNTY is where you can come to find a community of comfort and confidence to support your dreams.”
Kimeila refused to wait until she’s older to make a difference in the world. In the next five years, the young girl wants to make the YNTY Magazine “become available on news stands around the world, in various languages; become a household name and the kidpreneurs go to for advice and inspiration whenever they feel discouraged or overwhelmed (不知所措的)”.

Tips on How to Study Smarter
Having good study skills is always helpful. However, there are some situations that can distract you from your lessons. Furthermore, you are likely to learn without a teacher or parent looking over your shoulder. 1. . Here are some tips to develop good study skills.
·Practise, practise, practise! Musicians practise their instruments. Athletes practise sports skills. The same should go for learning. 2. . In one study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored better than those who studied in the normal way.
·Test yourself. Before big tests, you may often cover up the notes, and then try to recall them. Such practice can help nearly everyone. You can put questions down on one side of the paper and the answers on the other side. 3. . Teachers often dig deeper. They don’t just ask shallow questions.
·Learn from mistakes. A secret of science: Mistakes help understanding. If you don’t find out what the answer is, you’re wasting your time. Checking the answers can make your study time more efficient. Check to see if you are right. You can then focus on what you get wrong. 4. .

2.___

3.___
E
解析 根据上文的Test yourself.和下文的Teachers often dig deeper. They don’t just ask shallow questions.可知,本段建议要测试自己,而后文提到老师会问得更深,故E项(试着用老师提问的方式来测试自己)符合本段主旨,且引出下文要这么做的原因。
4.___
D
解析 根据上文的Learn from mistakes.可知,本段建议要从错误中汲取教训。D项(错误实际上是学习的关键)符合本段主旨。

5.___
C
解析 根据下文的Often you fail to plan ahead. So do make plans. And try to stick to a routine, too.可知,本段主要介绍要制订计划并坚持去做。故C项(制订计划并坚持执行)是本段的主题句。
【易错警示】本题易误选A项。根据本段内容可知,本段是关于“计划”的内容,A项和C项都提到了plan,所以学生容易看到关键词plan就选择A项(专注于你的计划)。但是根据本段中的Often you fail to plan ahead. So do make plans. And try to stick to a routine, too.可知,很多人没有提前制订计划,所以要提前计划并坚持下去,C项更符合本段所强调的内容。A项没有体现出“从没有计划到制订计划并坚持下去”的内容。
