24、Maybe you are an average (普通的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a good student if he or she wants to. Here’s how you can be a good student.

Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a plan of your time. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing... Then decide a good, regular (有规律的) time for studying. Don’t forget to set enough time for entertainment. A weekly plan may not work out all your problems, but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No game, radio, or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on (专注) your subjects.

Make good use of your time. Listen to everything the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be worried.

There are other ideas that might help you with your study. You will probably find many others after you have tried these.

25、Have you heard of the word “hygge”? It’s a Danish (丹麦的) word, as well as a lifestyle practiced by Danish people. There is no English word for the exact meaning of hygge, according to Oxford Dictionaries. It might be translated into being comfortable, safe in English, but it is more than that.

Enjoying beautiful music or having a movie night is hygge. Lighting candles or making real tea in china cups—that’s hygge too. There’s nothing more hygge than sitting around a table with your family or friends, discussing the big and small things in life. Hygge focuses on the idea of making ordinary daily activities special or meaningful, according to the BBC.

For Danish people, hygge is a way of fighting the cold winter.In Denmark (丹麦), there can be up to 17 hours of darkness a day in winter, and the average temperature is around 0℃, according to the BBC. As a result, people spend more time indoors and focus on home entertaining.

Now the idea of hygge is traveling abroad and becoming popular in the world. In the United Kingdom and the United States, there are more and more hygge-themed cookbooks and lifestyle guides, as well as Danish restaurants, cafes and bars. “The rest of the world seems to be slowly waking up to what Danes have been wise to for ages,” Helen Russell, author of The Year of Living Danishly, told the BBC.

26、Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would have sweet and ice-cream rather than eat meat and rice.
