Unit 1 Living in Harmony
[00:04.00]Listen and Respond
[00:06.78]Smile
[00:10.76]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:16.57]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:22.95]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.
[00:30.42]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”
[00:36.54]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.
[00:41.52]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,
[00:45.47]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.
[00:51.63]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served,
[00:55.66]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and the re standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
[01:03.96]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:09.48]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance.
[01:14.19]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coin s he had.
[01:19.73]The second man was mentally retarded.
[01:23.65]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:28.38]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”
[01:32.48]Obviously, it was all they could afford.
[01:35.94]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something — they just wanted to be warm.
[01:44.01]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.
[01:47.18]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:52.74]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to
[01:56.79]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.
[02:00.93]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting.
[02:05.09]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.
[02:12.07]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”
[02:15.98]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”
[02:20.22]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son.
[02:25.10]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:32.03]I returned to college, with this story in hand.
[02:35.74]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.
[02:43.20]The whole class was touched.
[02:45.34]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking
[00:05.81]Listen and Respond
[00:08.87]Attitude Is Everything
[00:12.53]Michael was a natural optimist.
[00:15.46]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.
[00:22.52]If an employee was having a bad day,
[00:25.29]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
[00:31.51]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael
[00:37.44]and asked him, “I don’t get it.
[00:39.70]You can’t be positive all the time.
[00:42.52]How do you do it?”
[00:45.24]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.
[00:53.41]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.
[00:58.89]I choose to be in a good mood.
[01:01.46]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.
[01:08.30]I choose to learn from it.
[01:10.88]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining
[01:16.56]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”
[01:23.05]“Yeah, right.
[01:24.25]But it isn’t that easy.”
[01:25.94]I said.
[01:27.13]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.
[01:30.30]“Life is all about choices.
[01:32.75]Every situation in life is a choice.
[01:35.67]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.
[01:43.93]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”
[01:49.18]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully. [01:54.09]So I will choose to be an optimist.
[01:56.80]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.
Unit 3 The Road to Success
[00:05.83]Listen and Respond
[00:08.68]Follow Your Dream
[00:12.62]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write
[00:18.50]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
[00:23.83]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.
[00:27.54]He loved horses.
[00:29.55]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.
[00:37.49]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.
[00:45.22]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch
[00:48.88]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.
[00:53.10]Two days later he received his paper back.
[00:56.41]He got a large red F for his paper.
[01:00.81]He went to ask the teacher why.
[01:03.42]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.
[01:07.50]You have no money.
[01:09.06]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.
[01:12.73]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:18.49]There’s no way you could ever do it.”
[01:21.86]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper again
[01:26.28]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
[01:31.32]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.
[01:35.09]He asked his father what he should do.
[01:38.24]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. [01:44.59]However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”
[01:50.55]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.
[01:59.39]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:04.34]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”
[02:08.55]Now years have passed.
[02:10.70]This young man’s dream has finally come true.
[02:14.52]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.
Unit 4 Being Creative
[0:5.15]Listen and Respond
[0:8.23]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature
[0:13.75]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.
[0:17.65]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,
[0:25.57]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative?
[0:33.31]— Are people really dull?
[0:35.38]Or are we all, in fact, creative?
[0:39.12]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.
[0:42.24]The whole essence of a baby is creative — it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.
[0:51.37]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.
[0:58.85]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.
[1:5.57]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.
[1:10.51]You can’t make your child creative.
[1:13.57]It simply is creative.
[1:16.96]Then, how can our children be still more creative?
[1:21.67]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.
[1:26.96]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.
[1:34.70]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.
[1:42.06]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.
Unit 5 The Value of Life
[0:5.18]Listen and Respond
[0:7.62]Life is a Bottle of Rocks
[0:11.23]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.
[0:17.95]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large
[0:22.13]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter. [0:27.98]He then asked the students if the jar was full.
[0:31.38]They agreed that it was.
[0:34.52]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.
[0:40.88]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
[0:46.50]“Is this jar filled now?”
[0:48.81]Yes, the students said.
[0:51.48]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle.
[0:55.89]The sand filled in everything else.
[0:58.67]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.
[1:5.91]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar. [1:11.73]The students laughed loudly.
[1:15.17]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
[1:24.41]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,
[1:30.67]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.
[1:39.37]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.
[1:45.74]The sand is everything else.
[1:47.84]The small stuff.
[1:49.26]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”
[1:55.56]“The same goes for your life.
[1:58.43]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.
[2:5.13]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.
[2:12.00]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on.
[2:17.03]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter.
[2:21.61]Set your priorities.
[2:23.44]The else is just sand.”
[2:26.37]After the impact of what he said settled,
[2:29.50]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.
[2:34.70]“I am glad you asked.”
[2:36.24]He replied.
[2:37.54]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:41.99]there is always room for a couple of beers.”
Unit 6 Learning to Work Together
[0:5.84]Listen and Respond
[0:8.63]Be a Team Player
[0:11.12]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player. [0:16.87]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player,
[0:21.82]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:26.38]because every member of his team has a very specific role
[0:30.22]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team.
[0:34.75]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game.
[0:39.62]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:44.54]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.
[0:51.34]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player,
[0:55.83]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline.
[1:0.59]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.
[1:6.92]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.
[1:10.48]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.
[1:18.69]Human beings are social creatures.
[1:21.12]Like it or not, we are all team players.
Unit 7 Adversity
[0:4.50]Listen and Respond
[0:6.95]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans
[0:13.10]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.
[0:19.41]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:24.85]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.
[0:29.72]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.
[0:35.16]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them,
[0:40.19]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.
[0:44.66]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing.
[0:50.12]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.
[0:58.26]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.
[1:2.31]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see?”
[1:7.09]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father?”
[1:14.08]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced
[1:20.02]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently.
[1:25.79]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:31.09]The eggs had been weak.
[1:33.26]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.
[1:37.59]The coffee beans were unique, however.
[1:40.51]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.
[1:47.09]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react?
[1:53.82]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.
[1:59.17]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?
[2:4.74]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst,
[2:8.94]you get better and make things better around you.”
Unit 8 Human Behaviour
[00:04.44]Listen and Respond
[00:06.96]The Unexpected Rescue
[00:10.29]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.
[00:17.57]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was
[00:21.93]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes.
[00:26.33]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked.
[00:30.41]Should I get involved?
[00:31.82]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.
[00:39.28]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police?
[00:43.53]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.
[00:50.78]I knew I had to act fast.
[00:53.30]How could I walk away from this?
[00:55.52]No, I finally decided.
[00:57.53]I could not turn my back on the fate of this
[01:00.19]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.
[01:05.00]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.
[01:08.33]I don’t know where I found the courage and physical strength,
[01:12.15]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.
[01:18.62]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman.
[01:22.77]While struggling, we fell to the ground,
[01:25.23]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.
[01:30.38]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:34.97]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.
[01:41.17]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:46.04]“It’s OK.”
[01:47.20]I comforted her.
[01:48.80]“The man ran away.
[01:50.62]You are safe now.”
[01:53.81]There was a long pause...
[01:56.25]I heard the words in amazement.
[01:59.21]“Daddy, is that you?”
[02:01.97]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.

新世纪大学英语第三册原文每段翻译U UNIT 6：Culture Shock |文化冲击| Kalervo Oberg We might almost call culture shock an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most ailments it has its own cause, symptoms, and cure. 1 我们不妨把文化冲击称为突然置身国外的人们所得的职业病。和大部分疾病一样，这种病有其独特的起因、症状和疗法。 Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situations of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to give orders to servants, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues. 2 文化冲击是因为我们失去熟悉的社会交往标记和符号而产生的焦虑所促成。这些标志或暗示包括我们应付日常生活各种情境时使用的诸多方式方法：与人会面时何时握手、该说些什么；在什么时间、以什么方式付小费；如何吩咐佣人；怎样购物；何时该接受、何时该拒绝他人的邀请；别人说的话，何时该当真，何时不该当真。这些暗示可以是语言、手势、面部表情、风俗习惯或社会行为标准。我们在成长的过程中获得了这些暗示，就像我们的语言和我们所接受的信仰一样，它们已经成为我们文化的一部分。我们所有的人都依赖成百上千个这样的暗示才能拥有宁静的心境，过上高效率的生活。 Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded you may be, a series of props have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: a€?The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.a€? When Americans or other foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people a€”you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Another phase of

陌生人的善意 1. 一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。我直接从他身边开过去了。别人会停下来的，我想。再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。 2. 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？ 3. 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。” 4. 陌生人的善意。听起来好怪。如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？ 5. 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？ 6. 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？ 7. 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。 8. 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。 9. 司机们隔着挡风玻璃念出这个词，然后笑了。两个女人骑自行车经过。“有点含混，”其中一个说。一名带有德国口音的年轻男士走上前来问，“你这个‘美利坚’在哪儿？”10. 实际上，整整六个星期的时间里我试图找出答案。我搭了82次便车，行程4223英里，穿越了14个州。在旅途中，我发现其他人跟我一样有担心。人们总是在警告我当心别的某个地方。在蒙大拿州，他们叫我留神怀俄明州的牛仔，而在内布拉斯加州，人们提醒我说艾奥瓦州的人可不如他们友好。 11. 然而，在我所去的每个州，我都受到了友善的对待。我诧异于美国人执意帮助陌生人的能力，甚至于在看来与自己的最大利益相冲突时他们也绝不袖手旁观。有一天，在内布拉斯加，一辆四门小轿车在路肩停下。我走到车窗边，看到两位穿着节日盛装的瘦小老妇人。12. “我知道这年头不该带搭便车的，但这里前不着村后不着店的，不停车感觉真不好。”自称“维”的司机说。她和姐姐海伦是去内布拉斯加的安斯沃思看眼疾的。 13. 她们为我停了车，我都不知道是该亲吻她们呢还是该责备她们。这个女人是在告诉我，她宁肯冒生命危险也不愿意因为没为一个站在路边的陌生人停车而感到内疚。她们在一个高速路口把我放下时，我望着维。我们俩异口同声地说，“小心。” 14. 有一次我在雨中没能搭上便车。一名长途卡车司机停了车，他把刹车踩得那么重，车子都在草地路肩上滑行了一段。司机告诉我他有一次被搭便车的人持刀抢劫了。“但我不愿意看到有人在雨里站着。”他补充说，“现在大家都没有良心了。” 15. 然而，我发现，总体而言，人们还是挺有同情心的。艾奥瓦州一对中年夫妇为了帮我找宿营地领着我走了一个小时。在南达科他州，一个女人让我在她家住了一晚之后递给我两张

UNIT1 人在自然界 1) 人类生活在大自然的王国里。他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物，无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。我们与大自然血肉相连，离开大自然，我们将无法生存。 2) 人类不仅生活在大自然之中，同时也在改变着大自然。人类把自然资源转变为各种文化，社会历史的财富。人类降服并控制了电，迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境，也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。 3) 随着社会的发展，人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少，而间接的依赖却越来越多。我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中，他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。然而，尽管工具不甚完备，他们却能同心协力，顽强工作，并总是有所收获。在与人类的相互作用中，大自然也发生了改变。森林被破坏了，耕地面积增加了。大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。譬如，森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的，因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的，所谓“文明”，就是人类在哪里建立家园，耕耘土地，哪里的森林就被砍伐。 4) 然而，随着岁月的流逝，人类越来越关注的是在何处得到和如何得到生产所需的不可替代的自然资源的问题。科学与人类改变大自然的实践活动已经使人类意识到了工业在改变地球的进程中对地质产生的重大影响。 5) 目前，人与自然以及自然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡，已呈现崩溃的迹象。生物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为尖锐。人类和社会的需求，即便是简单得像淡水一样的物质，也变得越来越难以满足。清除工业废物的问题也变得日益复杂。 6) 现代技术的特征是生产和使用日益丰富的人工合成产品。人们生产成千上万的人工合成材料。人们越来越多地用尼龙和其他人造纤维把自己从头到脚地包裹起来，这些绚丽的织物显然对他们无益。年轻人或许很少注意到这一点，他们更关注的是外表，而不是健康。但是上了年岁之后，他们就会感受到这种有害的影响。 7) 久而久之，这些合成物质转变成废弃物，那些原本毒性不大的物质在自然循环中变为极其有害的物质。自然科学家和哲学家如今都在问自己这样一个问题：人类对生物圈的破坏难道是无法避免的吗？

I went to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. My grandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t want to go home! Activity4 Making memories A popular new hobby is scrapbooking---making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal entries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps.. 1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: “School days,” “ Family travel,” “Memories of my grandparents,” “ Baby’s first year.” 2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos. 3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters--- anything made of paper. Use your imagination! 4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like. 5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination! 6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who,
优等生的秘诀 1 一位研究教育的老师针对成绩优异的学生做过重点研究，发现最聪明的学生不见得总能得高分。根据这位教授、其他教育专家以及优等生们自己的观点，懂得如何充分发挥自己的潜能对于学生来说更为重要。 2 在班上名列前茅的学生之所以学习优秀，是因为他们掌握了几个基本原则。首先，优等生知道如何决定轻重缓急。他们从来不会为了打电话、看电视或者吃零食而牺牲学习时间。换言之，学习总是摆在娱乐之前。另外，优等生们总是注意随时随地学习。有位成绩优异的学生同时也是优秀的运动员，每天利用户外训练时间背生物学术语。而另一位学生则利用每天早上刷牙时间记一个新单词。所有受访的学生无一例外都认为，在什么时间学习完全是个人偏好问题。有些人在夜深人静时学习效果最好，有些人则喜欢趁着自己还能清晰地记得上课所讲的内容，一放学回家就开始学习。尽管如此，所有优等生都一致认为，如果想任何时候都表现优秀，一个主要的因素就是要持之以恒。 3 学生还必须学会有条理。举个例子，有一位优等生在学校乐队、田径队、橄榄球协会和辩论小组里都很活跃。他透露，他之所以把东西放得井井有条是因为他浪费不起到处找东西的时间。还有一位学生喜欢把当天的笔记马上整理出来并放进用不同颜色标记的文件夹里，以便临近考试时能随时用来复习。优等生们提倡的另一个技巧是有效的阅读，其中包括快速阅读，提高记忆能力以及主动提出问题以便充分理解作者的意思。 4 对于学生们来说，合理安排时间也同样重要。他们必须懂得如何根据每天的时间表和学习能力来安排做作业和项目的速度，不至于让手头的工作压得喘不过气。能制定时间表不仅让学生能够腾出更多时间来复习和完善功课，而且还能防止他们拖拖拉拉。成绩优异的学生认为，他们成功的一大秘诀就是上课时做好笔记，供复习时使用。有个学生透露，她把从课文上摘抄的内容记在笔记本的一边，把课堂笔记写在另一边。这样，就可同时复习到两方面的内容。她还透露，她不会浪费下课铃响前的几分钟跟朋友交头接耳，准备随时冲出教室。相反，她会利用这几分钟用两三句话概括那节课的要点，然后在下次上课前浏览这些笔记，加深印象。 5 老师们提倡的致胜秘诀是尽力让自己的作业整洁。有位老师说，学生交上整洁作业就已向高分迈进了一步。在课堂上大胆发言和提问也同样重要，这或许是学生澄清疑问的最好办法。课堂参与还能反映一个学生的求知欲。有个学生概括得好，“好成绩来自透彻的理解”。
