How to Be a Better Student
Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening 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 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 about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't e nd if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worr
ied.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably
discover them after you have tried these.

中考阅读理解(友谊地久天长)
这是一首经典歌曲，已经被几代人传唱，每当有人唱起这首歌时，依然会让人热泪盈眶。因为这首歌中表达的是一种永恒的情，是每个人都渴望得到的，这就是友谊。
This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊地久天长》). It is the traditional music played during the New Year’s celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.
The words “auld lang syne” mean “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Bums was published (出版) in 1796. The words and music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.
The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year’s Eve. The version (译文) you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne. I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas. (from https://www.doczj.com/doc/9917342049.html,)

龙抬头
China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day(Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming. The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs.
On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisk er(细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of the family—mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
根据上述内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的为“T”，错误的为“F”。
1. The Longtaitou is on the third day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
2. We Chinese call ourselves the “descendants of the dragon”.
3. People put ashes in the kitchen on the Dragon Head Raising Day in ancient times.
4. Nowadays, many people don't have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
5. The passage mainly tells us how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in China.
【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国的传统节日——龙抬头，也称“龙头节”，以及在“龙头节”这一天的风俗习惯。
1. F 【解析】题干意为：龙头节是在中国农历二月的第三天。根据第一段第三句“This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.”可知此说法错误，故填F。
2. T 【解析】题干意为：我们中国人把我们自己称为“龙的传人”。根据第二段第二句“We Chinese people call ourselves the ‘descendants(传人) of the dragon’.”可知此说法正确，故填T。
3. T 【解析】题干意为：古代在龙头节那一天，人们在厨房里放灰。根据第三段第一句“On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen.”可知此说法正确，故填T。
4. F 【解析】题干意为：现如今，许多人不在龙头节这一天剪发。根据最后一段最后一句“So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.”可知此说法错误，故填F。
5. F 【解析】题干意为：本文主要讲述了在中国如何庆祝端午节。通读全文可知本文讲的是关于龙头节的一些习俗，此说法错误。故填F。

The TV, of course, is more useful than the radio. On TV you can see and hear what is happening in the world. Now the radio is not disappearing. It's still with us. And the number of listeners is becoming larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor（晶体管）radio. The transistor radio is sometimes very small. It is very easy to carry. You can put one in your pocket and listen to it on the bus when you go to work. It is better for blind people. Many old people don't have good sight （视力）to watch TV.

【英语】中考英语阅读理解经典题型带答案 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．根据短文理解，选择正确答案。 A Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap（代沟）. Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them You can't express（表达）yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days. Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try. （1）From the passage we know_______ have a communication problem.
