I used to study without any plan, so I often felt busy and still got little done. 1. ______ That was when my English teacher showed me how to make a simple weekly plan. A good plan does not need to be long or perfect. Every evening I write down only three things: what to review, what to preview and how long each task will take. 2. ______ When I finish one, I tick it off, and the small tick makes me happy. Time is another key point. I used to sit at my desk for hours without a break, and my mind became tired and slow. 3. ______ A short walk or a glass of water is enough to make me fresh again. Plans also need checking. Every Sunday evening I look back at the week and ask myself what went well and what did not. 4. ______ For example, I found that I always forgot new words, so I moved word study to the morning. After two months I became a much calmer learner. I still have a long way to go, but I no longer fear exams or stay up late before them. 5. ______ I hope more students can find a way that works for them. A. A clear plan gives me both confidence and free time. B. Then I put the tasks in order of importance. C. I did not know how to use my time wisely. D. Small changes make the next week better. E. Now I study for forty minutes and rest for ten. F. Good grades depend mainly on how clever a student is. Passage 2 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使其意思通顺，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 New words are like the small bricks of a language. I once copied each word twenty times, but the next day I still forgot most of them. 1. ______ Later I learned that words are remembered better when they are used, not just written. Now when I meet a new word, I put it into a short sentence from my own life. When I learned the word brave, I wrote about my friend who saved a cat from a tree. 2. ______ Pictures and stories in the mind are much stronger than a long list. Reading helps me a lot too. I read short English stories at my level and guess the meaning of a new word from the sentences around it. 3. ______ When a word appears again and again in different stories, I remember it almost without trying. The time of review matters as well. Scientists say we forget quickly during the first day, so I look at new words again before sleep and after waking up. 4. ______ It takes only a few minutes, but it saves hours of copying. Learning words is no longer a boring job for me. I keep a small word card box on my desk and share my favourite sentences with my classmates. 5. ______ Little by little, my English becomes richer and more colourful. A. A word with a story stays in my head much longer. B. Every new word opens a small window for me. C. Meeting a word often is better than meeting it once. D. Short and timely reviews keep the words alive. E. My copybook was full, but my mind was empty. F. English words are too difficult for Chinese students to learn.

Good notes are not a copy of the blackboard. I only write down key words, dates, rules and my own questions in a notebook. 2. ______ Stars, arrows and boxes help me find important points quickly when I review. The Cornell method is popular among top students. A page is divided into three parts: notes, key words and a short summary. 3. ______ After class I spend five minutes writing the summary in one or two sentences. Notes are useless if they are never read again. Every evening I go through the day's notes and mark what I still do not understand. 4. ______ The next morning I can ask my teacher or my group members for help. My grades have improved since I changed my note habits. More importantly, I feel relaxed in class because I know how to listen. 5. ______ I hope my experience helps you, and I am looking forward to your reply. A. My way changed a lot after a talk with my teacher. B. Questions found early are always easy to solve. C. Please tell me about your own way of learning. D.

Write down every wrong answer, the right one and the reason behind it. 2. ______ At first it felt slow and boring, but I decided to try it for one month. Each evening I copied my mistakes into the book with a red pen and wrote why I got them wrong. 3. ______ Some were careless, and some came from rules that I had never really understood. Before every test I read the book instead of doing more new exercises. 4. ______ To my great surprise, my score rose from sixty-two to eighty-eight in only two months, and my teacher wrote a warm note at the back of my book. Now the book is one of my treasures. I also lend it to my deskmate, and we exchange our books every Friday. 5. ______ Mistakes are not shameful at all, because they are steps on the way up. A.

For a long time the money disappeared quickly and I could not remember where it went. 1. ______ My mother laughed and said, 'Money needs a map, just like a big city.' So I began to keep a small account book. Every coin I spend is written down with the date, the reason and the amount. 2. ______ Now I can see clearly that snacks and game cards take too much of my money. Seeing the numbers helps me make better choices. Last month I stopped buying drinks at school and brought water from home instead. 3. ______ In this way I saved almost twenty yuan in thirty days. Saving is only half of the story. I also plan how to use the money that is left, not only how to keep it. 4. ______ Small gifts for my grandmother's birthday make her happier than anything I buy for myself.

Last September I decided that I wanted a bicycle of my own. 1. ______ My parents agreed to pay half if I could save the other half myself. Saving was harder than I had thought. I stopped buying comics and began to do small jobs for our neighbours at weekends. 2. ______ Carrying water for Grandpa Li every Saturday brought me ten yuan and a lot of praise. I kept the money in a glass jar on my shelf, not in my pocket, because a pocket is far too easy to open. 3. ______ Watching the jar get heavier every week was much more fun than spending a little every day. After five months the jar was finally full, and I counted the money three times. 4. ______ My father took me to the shop, and I chose a blue one with a strong back seat.

Advertisements are good at turning wants into needs. A star wears a pair of shoes, and suddenly every student wants the same pair. 2. ______ Bright pictures and famous faces do not make a thing more useful. A simple rule helps a lot: wait for twenty-four hours. When I see something I like, I write it down and go home. 3. ______ Most desires disappear quietly after a good night's sleep. Another good habit is comparing prices before paying. The same notebook may cost five yuan in one shop and eight in another. 4. ______ Online shopping makes this easy, but we must also count the delivery fee.

We spent three evenings painting pictures of our school, the river and the old town gate after finishing all our homework. 2. ______ We priced them at two yuan each, much cheaper than those in the shops outside.
