The Power of Small Changes

I used to be a person who never finished anything I started. I would begin a project with enthusiasm, but when it got difficult, I would quit. This happened with learning the guitar, writing a diary, and even sticking to a diet. I always told myself that I would try again next year.

Last year, I decided to change. Instead of making big resolutions, I started with one small habit: reading for 10 minutes every day before bed. It was so easy that I couldn’t find an excuse to skip it. After a month, I had finished two books. That small success motivated me to try another habit: walking for 15 minutes after lunch. Then I added another: writing down three things I was grateful for each day.

Gradually, these small habits transformed my life. I felt more energetic, happier, and more confident. I realized that big changes come from small, consistent actions. The key is to start small and be patient. Don’t wait for a perfect moment — just take one step today.

Now, I have completed several projects that I would have given up on before. I learned that change is not about willpower alone. It’s about creating systems that work for you. If you want to change your life, start with one tiny habit. You might be surprised by what you can achieve.

16. What was the writer like before making changes?
A. He was very disciplined. B. He often quit things halfway. C. He was always successful. D. He never made resolutions.

17. What was the writer’s first small habit?
A. Walking for 15 minutes. B. Reading for 10 minutes before bed. C. Writing a diary. D. Learning the guitar.

18. What did the writer learn from this experience?
A. Big changes come from small consistent actions. B. Willpower is the only key to success. C. Resolutions are not useful. D. It is impossible to change.

My Role Model: A Teacher Who Changed Everything

When I was 14, I was a student who hated school. I would skip classes, ignore homework, and talk back to teachers. I thought school was useless and that I would never succeed in life. That changed when I met Mr. Zhang, my history teacher.

Mr. Zhang was different from other teachers. He didn’t shout at me when I misbehaved. Instead, he would talk to me after class. He said, “You are smarter than you think. But intelligence without effort is wasted.” He invited me to join his after-school history club. I joined because I had nothing better to do. But something unexpected happened — I discovered that I actually loved history.

Mr. Zhang encouraged me to read books about historical figures and write essays about them. He taught me to think critically and to question everything. For the first time, I felt engaged and motivated. My grades improved, and I started to enjoy learning.

Today, I am a university student studying history. I want to become a teacher like Mr. Zhang. He showed me that education is not about memorizing facts — it is about discovering who you are and what you can become. He is my hero.

19. What was the writer like before meeting Mr. Zhang?
A. Hard-working and ambitious. B. Disinterested and rebellious. C. Shy and quiet. D. Talented but lazy.

20. How did Mr. Zhang help the writer?
A. He punished him for misbehaving. B. He invited him to join a history club. C. He gave him extra homework. D. He taught him to memorize facts.

21. What does the writer want to do in the future?
A. Become a history professor. B. Become a teacher like Mr. Zhang. C. Write books about history. D. Work in a museum.

22. What is the main message of this passage?
A. History is an important subject. B. Teachers can change students’ lives. C. Education is about memorizing facts. D. All teachers are the same.

The Power of Active Recall

Most students spend hours reading textbooks and highlighting important points. But is this really the best way to study? According to cognitive scientists, passive reading is one of the least effective study methods. A much more powerful technique is active recall.

Active recall means testing yourself on the material you are learning. Instead of re-reading your notes, close the book and try to recall what you remember. Then check your answers and repeat. This process forces your brain to retrieve information, which strengthens the neural pathways and makes the memory more durable.

Studies have shown that students who use active recall remember significantly more than those who simply re-read. In one study, students who tested themselves remembered 50% more than those who read the material repeatedly. The act of retrieval is what makes the difference.

How can you use active recall? Try using flashcards. Write a question on one side and the answer on the other. Test yourself regularly. You can also ask a friend to quiz you. The key is to make your brain work — the harder it is to recall, the more you learn.

23. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Reading is the best way to study. B. Active recall is a powerful study method. C. Flashcards are the only useful tool. D. Studying with friends is always better.

24. What does active recall involve?
A. Re-reading notes multiple times. B. Testing yourself on the material. C. Highlighting important points. D. Listening to recordings.

25. How much more did students who used active recall remember?
A. 20% more. B. 30% more. C. 50% more. D. 70% more.
