21、How to Get Motivated to Study
When you have mountains of homework ahead of you. Getting started can seem like an impossible task. But if you break down your study obligations into small, bite -sized goals, you'll be able to work your way through them more easily. 【1】 Rather than following a study system that you dislike, think creatively about what works best for you and approach the material that way.
【2】 Think about which environmental factors and study skills help you retain information and do your best on exams. Decide whether you prefer to work in a quiet space by yourself or if a public place like a library or coffee shop keep you on task. Reflect on whether you remember facts better when for you to review your own lecture notes or when you skim the textbook and old class assignments.
Break down your studying into smaller tasks or goals. 【3】 It's easy to get overwhelmed by a huge amount of homework and seemingly endless assignments. But rather than worrying “how will I ever finish this assignment?”，ask yourself “how much of this assignment can I accomplish in 2 hours?” instead of trying to read a whole book in 1 sitting, set a goal to read 1 chapter or 50 pages at a time.
Assign each task a time limit or a slot in your schedule. Telling yourself “I will have to study sometime this week” will encourage procrastination (拖延)，but“I'm going to study from 6 pm to 9 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday” will help you stick to your plan. Try sticking to a regular schedule, 【4】
Force yourself to start working for just a few minutes to ease your anxiety. If you're starting to get panicked about the amount of studying you have to do, know that it will feel much less stressful if you can just get started. 【5】 For instance, you could begin by spending 5 minutes skimming your vocabulary list. Or try the Pomodoro Technique. This involves setting a 25-minute timer for each task. The time will go by quickly, and you'll end up with a feeling of accomplishment.
A．Set concrete goals for your study sessions.
B．Assess which study habits bring you the most success.
C．Reward yourself when you complete your study goal(s).
D．but feel free to break your usual routine if you need to shake things up.
E．Commit to working on a super-simple, quick task first just to get things going.
F．Whichever method you choose, reserve a specific block of time each day for studying.
G．Get into the right frame of mind before you start studying and establish a plan for success.
22、 Last summer, bird-watchers confirmed the discovery of a new species of bird in Cambodia（柬埔寨）: the Combodian tailorbird. It was not an event of particular biological significance but it was striking for one reason: This species of tailorbird was discovered not in an unspoiled rain forest but within the limits of Combodia’s capital, Phnom Penh.
We don’t typically think of the city as a likely habitat for natural life except rats and pigeons（鸽子）, let alone as a hiding place for an undiscovered species of bird. But a new paper, published last week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, proves it incorrect. A team of 24 researchers has studied birds and plants in 147 cities, and found that cities much more closely resemble their native habitats than they resemble each other.
It’s also true that in the world of birds and plants, as in human society, there is such thing as a world species who feels equally at home in Francisco, Milan and Beijing. Four birds appear in more than 80 percent of the cities studied, and 11 plants in more than 90 percent of the cities. On the plant side, those include meadow grass, shepherd’s purse, weeds. In the air, it’s the usual species: the pigeon, the house sparrow and the European starling（惊鸟）. They all have become completely adapted to urban life.
However, not all cities are equal protectors of plants and animals, though. City design plays an important role in greening a city. In fact, the amount of green space is a stronger predictor of the biodiversity than a city’s size.
In a world where architecture, food, language, fashion and commerce are increasingly globalized, a city’s native plants and animals are considered as a kind of city identity. Cities tend to become similar, but their natural environments stand differently apart.
【1】What does the author think of the discovery of the Cambodian tailorbird?
A.It is just an exception.
B.It is a wonder for the Cambodians.
C.It is an amazing biological event.
D.It is very common in the world.
【2】Weeds and sparrows are found in many cities. This seems to be a result of ________.
A.complete adaption
B.natural selection
C.good urban design
D.rapid globalization
【3】We can learn that while cities tend to become similar, their natural environments ________.
A.are becoming worse
B.remain diverse
C.are expanding in size
D.stay unchanged
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Discovery of New Species of Bird in Cambodia
B.The Similarity of the Habitats in Different Cities
C.City’s Native Plants and Animals—A Kind of City Identity
D.City—Protector of Native Plants and Animals
23、 It often happens that problems blow into our lives. For some of us it may be a temporary period, but for others, it’s a lifetime change. Here are stories of ordinary people who had to face unpleasant events and managed to overcome them with dignity.
Bill Porter
Even though Bill Porter had a damaged brain, he wanted to work in sales. He achieved his goal, and later he became one of the best salesmen in America. The movie Door to Door is about him, and it’s recommended to those who think something will hold them back from achieving a desired career.
Evgeny Smirnov
There’s nothing worse for a dancer than losing the ability to dance. But Evgeny Smirnov, Russian break dance champion, went on dancing, despite the fact that he had to learn to dance again. His performance became a great example of the fact that someone can dance incredibly cool even without a leg.
Olesya Vladykina
Even though she’s only 20, Olesya Vladykina has suffered a lot; an accident in Thailand took not only her left hand, but also her close friend. The moment changed the girl’s life, but she didn’t give up. After the accident, she took part in the Paralympic Games twice, having won first place and having set a world record.
Andrea Bocelli
Blindness takes away the ability to see the world, but not to feel it. Perhaps this helps Italian Andrea Bocelli, a popular blind classical singer, to share fascinating and inspiring energy with the audience through his songs.
【1】Whose story is the movie Door to Door about？
A.A singer’s. B.A dancer’s.
C.A sportsman’s. D.A salesman’s
【2】What disadvantage does Evgeny Smirnov have？
A.He has one arm. B.He has only one leg.
C.He has no ability to see. D.He has a damaged brain.
【3】Whose performance will you enjoy if you like classical music？
A.Bill Porter’s. B.Andrea Bocelli’s
C.Evgeny Smirnov’s. D.Olesya Vladykina’s
24、Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone's lived experience—but it's not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”
If you try to banish anxiety, all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts o£ life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.
This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52- year-old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn't let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don't go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.
Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well-balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.
