country.Meanwhile，tens of thousands of soldiers，police and civilian volunteers have spread across 10 provinces to rescue stranded residents and reinforce banks and dams.So far，China has avoided large-scale damage，thanks to its generally effective response.Few countries in the world are able to muster the leadership，manpower，and resources needed to respond to natural disasters like this，but China is one of them.Beijing has put in place a top-down system that enables the government to respond quickly and effectively.It has also institutionalized close coordination among government ministries on the front line of disaster relief.China has even set up a special office called “General Command Office to Prevent Flooding and Drought”under the State Council，China's cabinet.Ramsey Rayyis，regional representative of American Red Cross in China，had praise for the Chinese efforts.“From my experience，the Chinese government and the Chinese Red Cross are doing a commendable job in responding to emergencies，whether it's flooding，earthquakes and other natural disasters.The recent flooding and earthquakes have shown they are able to respond efficiently and quickly，” he said.On the ground，China has put together a network of government functionaries and volunteers to perform disaster relief.Led by the Ministry of Civil Affairs，they form the backbone of grassroots operations that involve public participation through quasi-government groups like the Chinese Red Cross and other non-governmental organizations.China relies most heavily on the 2-million-strong People's Liberation Army（PLA），a standing army that is highly disciplined and organized.The PLA is capable of sending contingents of soldiers whenever and wherever disasters strike.China also does a good job in using the media.Chinese officials also use media to assure the public.By giving prominence to the measures the government is taking，they are able to show that the government has everything under control.China's success in fighting __1__●Reason for China's success in this：Its ability to muster the leadership，__2__ and resources needed to make __3__response to disasters●Factors to guarantee this：☉A __4__ enabling the government to respond quickly and effectively☉Institutionalized close coordination among __5__ for disaster relief☉A __6__ for general command in flood and drought prevention☉A network of government functionaries and __7__ for disaster relief，involvinggroups and organizations like the __8__，other non-governmental organizations and__9__☉Good use of __10__to assure the public that the government is keeping everythingunder controlⅣ．阅读简答Now let us look at how we read.When we read a printed text，our eyes move across a page in short，jerky movement.We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate.Each time they fixate，we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span（视幅）．The length of time of which the eyes stop—the duration of the fixation—varies considerably from person to person.It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.Furthermore，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyesmove across the printed page.As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading，numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For instance，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for，say，a tenth or a twentieth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation.All these exercises are very clever，but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words.Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.1．Show at least three facts which can affect the time of the recognition span.（No more than 14 words.）________________________________________________________________________2．What does reading require according to the writer？（No more than 8 words.）________________________________________________________________________3．What is the attitude of the author towards reading improvement courses mentioned in the passage？（One word.）________________________________________________________________________4．What will the writer probably talk about next？（No more than 12 words.）________________________________________________________________________参考答案Ⅰ．1．lack of；adds to2．insists；go to3．Should；would have4．referred to as；made a great difference to5．under the umbrella ofⅡ．1．D句意为“这一事件引起了连锁事件，从而导致了第一次世界大战的爆发”；set off“引起，激发”。

江苏省2014届高三英语（牛津版）一轮复习攻略训练：完形填空（1）New genetic analysis has revealed that many Amazon tree species are likely to survive human-made climate warming in the coming century, contrary to previous findings that temperature increases would cause them to die out. A study, 36 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 37 age of some Amazonian tree species -- more than 8 million years -- and 38 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 39 for the year 2100.The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will 40 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes. 41 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures 42 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors 43 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain 44 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining.The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species’ extinctions 45 relatively small increases in global average air temperatures.Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 46 were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 47 to the Amazon’s future.Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to 48 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 49 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads.“Species will not move as f reely in today’s Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human 50 . Similarly, today’s climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past 51 .”“With a clearer 52 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 53 that direct human impacts -- such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining -- should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive 54 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 55 the future of most Amazon tree species.”36.

attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology（生物技术）.With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time.Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war.Today's leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live？Human brains were known to decide the final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs.The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on，in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.1．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ______.A．diseases and aging B．accidents and warC．accidents and aging D．heart disease and war2．In the author's opinion，today's most important advance in technology lies in ______.A．medicine B．the InternetC．brain cells D．human organ3．Humans may live longer in the future because ______.A．heart disease will be far away from usB．human brains can decide the final deathC．the basic materials of cells will last foreverD．human organs can be repaired by new medicine4．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?A．Over 100 years.B．More than 120 years.C．About 150 years.D．The passage doesn't tell us.5．We can learn from the passage that ______.A．human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB．humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC．much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD．we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsⅣ．阅读填空A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.The system，called Driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%-40% that are caused by tiredness.Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% ofall pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue（疲劳）.Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband（表带）.The device，worn by drivers or pilots，gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey.After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel（方向盘）.A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response ually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest.If the driver's response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the department's laboratories for testing.If these tests，scheduled for six months' time，are successful，the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.1．______Ⅰ．2．______：To reduce 3．______ accidents.Ⅱ．Working principle：●（the device）based on 4．______●（the device）giving out a sound 5．______●（the

much you love them is by building them a great doghouse of their very own.Make sure that your dog is safe，comfortable，and happy by following these tips when building your doghouse.Consider the breed of your dog.What your dog will need to have their doghouse equipped with depends largely on their breeds.If your dog has long or thick hair or is a traditionally “cold weather”breed like a Malamute or a Husky，they will need less protection from inclement weather than a smaller or shorter haired dog like a Chihuahua.If you are unsure or if your dog is a mixed breed，ask an expert about any special consideration that you might need to keep in mind when building a doghouse.Measure your dog.Your dog will reach an average height and weight when full-grown depending on breeds.Even if you are building your doghouse while your dog is a puppy，you will want to make sure that the doghouse will be a comfortable size once your pet is full-grown.Imagine what size your dog will be when it is an adult and build your doghouse accordingly.Make it breathe.Enough ventilation is the most important feature of your doghouse.Even if the house is big enough for your dog，little ventilation will make it uncomfortable for your dog.So consider using materials like wood that would allow air to move freely.Make sure the main door to the doghouse is large and able to be left open，and consider an extra window in one of the doghouse's walls for extra air and light.Keep it roomy.Your dog should have enough room in the doghouse to sit，stand up，and move around.Your dog will probably take toys，sticks or other things that it likes best to the doghouse，so make sure you leave room for these things，too.Choose a proper place for the doghouse.Keep the doghouse off the ground.This keeps moisture away and keeps the dog comfortable and warm.Ⅳ．阅读简答（CNN）—Nollywood，Nigeria's（尼日利亚）growing film industry，has developed in recent years into a powerful movie-making machine，attracting audiences with its universal themes and strong narratives of urban culture.The giant industry，one of Nigeria's biggest employers，has been dismissed as a factory rushing more than 1,000 typically low-budget films a year，producing a wide range of stories with themes from romance and drama to comedy and witchcraft.It is now the third-largest producer of feature films（故事片）in the world，ranking behind only Hollywood in the US and India's Bollywood revenue（收入）.And lately，instead of relying on modest budgets，many Nollywood movies are attracting funding of a few million dollars，benefiting from the films' growing popularity.But while the industry gets bigger，insiders say Nollywood has remained true to its key to success—its connection with the audience.Nigerian director Lancelot Imasuen，who is now working on a $2 million film called “Invasion 1987，”says Nollywood movies are made for Nigerians and the rest of the continent.“People get in touch with Nollywood's direct realism，” says Imasuen.“People are getting more and more interested，more and more involved in（参与）our productions because they can feel the pains，they can feel the excitement and it's so real to them.” Imasuen，a pioneering filmmaker with more than 10 years of experience，says that Nollywood's themes make the audience feel very familiar with the stories by getting them to feel part of the stories.And that，he says，is the industry's big advantage compared to the competition posed by Hollywood productions.“For us in Africa，we just get entertained by American films，”says Imasuen.“When I'm watching Spiderman or Batman and all that，it's just for spectacle（壮观的场面）.I'm just having fun because I know its not realistic for the guy just to fly here and there—there is nothing that relates to us as Nigerians or Africans.”1．What is the secret of

注意：每空只填1个单词。

Naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycleMelatonin（褪黑激素）is a naturally occurring hormone（激素）that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle．Melatonin production is controlled by light exposure．Your brain should produce more in the evening, when it's dark, to make you sleepy, and less during the day when it's light and you want to stay awake．However, many aspects of modern life can disturb your body's natural production of melatonin and your sleep-wake cycle．Spending long days in an office away from natural light, for example, can impact your daytime wakefulness and make your brain sleepy．Then bright lights at night—especially from hours spent in front of the TV or computer screen—can hold back your body's production of melatonin and make it harder to sleep, However, there are ways for you to naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycle, improve your body's production of melatonin, and keep your brain on a healthy schedule．Increase light exposure during the day☆Remove your sunglasses in the morning and let light onto your face．☆Spend more time outside during daylight．Try to take your work breaks outside in sun light, exercise outside, or walk your dog during the day instead of at night．☆Let as much light into your home/workspace as possible．Keep curtains and blinds open during the day, move your desk closer to the window．☆If necessary, use a light treatment box．A light treatment box can create sunshine and can be especially useful during short winter days when there's limited daylight．Improve melatonin production at night☆Turn off your television and computer．Many people use the television to fall asleep or relax at the end of the day．Not only does the light hold back melatonin production, but television can actually excite the mind, rather than relaxing it．Try listening to music or audio books, or practicing relaxation exercises．If your favorite TV show is on late at night, record it for viewing earlier in the day．☆Don't read from a backlit device at night （such as an iPad）．If you use a portable electronic device to read, use an eReader that is not backlit, i．e．one that requires an additional light source such as a bedside lamp.☆Change your light bulbs．Avoid bright lights before bed, use low-wattage bulbs instead．☆When it's time to sleep, make sure the room is dark．The darker it is, the better you'll sleep．Cover electrical displays, use heavy curtains or shades to block light from windows, or try an eye mask to cover your eyes．☆ Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night．As long as it's safe to do so, keep the light to a minimum so it will be easier to go back to sleep．五任务型阅读Do we need an “Ivy League”?China may soon have its own “Ivy League”, with a union of top universities.The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US. The Chinese version, which was officially started in mid-October, consists of nine famous universities, including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs, recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs.The news of this Chinese “Ivy League” has received mixed responses from the public and press. Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them. Others say that the “Ivy League” is not necessary but that the union is a good idea, one that could promote academic development.So what’s your opinion on a Chinese “Ivy League”? Do we need one?Yes. Ivy League or not, nine of China’s best universities cooperating is a good thing.These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research. It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons, improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities. The results could be more important than lessons and achievements. The term “Ivy League” carries a sense of academic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing such a term could encourage students’ and professors’ mental state and improve Chinese higher education, then there’s no reason not to do it.No. Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an “Ivy League” model.Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other. If this cooperation were associated with the “Ivy League”, it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government. They’re quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn’t bring about as much potential ability as between , say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities.China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices. We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don’t apply well here.五任务型阅读creation6. less7. mentally/spiritually8. Attention9. similarities 10. copying。

thesummer of 1776，American colonists were deeply divided.Almost one in three was loyal to Britain.Yet most were increasingly angry about what they considered unfair treatment by the British government.By June，fighting had already taken place between colonial forces and Britain.The idea of independence was spreading.Delegates from the 13 colonies gathered in Philadelphia，Pennsylvania.The Continental Congress decided that a document declaring separation from Britain should be declared.Thomas Jefferson led a committee chosen to write it.On July fourth,1776，the Continental Congress voted to approve The Declaration of Independence.It says that people have the right to change their government if it denies them their rights.It states that everyone has the right to life，liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Today，the Fourth of July is a time for friends and families to gather.They might play sports and eat hot dogs，hamburgers and other foods cooked outdoors.They might watch a parade in their community.At night，many people gather to watch fireworks bursting in the sky.In Washington，D.C.this year，thousands of people will attend a concert with performances by musicians including Reba McEntire，Darius Rucker and Gladys Knight.There will also be a huge fireworks show with more than 2,500 shells exploding over the National Mall.Another event that traditionally takes place on the National Mall this weekend is the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.This year's event celebrates the cultures of Mexico and Asian Pacific Americans.Visitors can hear the music，eat the food and learn about

江苏省2014届高三英语（牛津版）一轮复习攻略训练：任务型阅读（9）第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Made In The USA: An Export BoomIn his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the U．S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to double U．S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U．S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.Competitive In A Global MarketMarlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world.“We export to 36 countries，” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz.“We're working around the clock, and we're growing.”It's not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well.

Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist.“A lot of it is being driven by smart machines，” he tells Raz，“The U．S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, butif machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn't matter.”China factors a lot in America's export economy, too.“Wages in China have bee n going up as the country becomes more productive.

my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.But the experience turned out to be very dull.Around that time，I told my husband that I wanted to skydive.So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have，I decided to write about my dream.In the essay，I wrote about my desire to skydive，stating George Brush Sr.did it at age 80.Why not me？I was just 84 and in pretty good health.A year went by and I heard nothing.But then at a community party in late April 2009，they announced that I was one of the winners.I just couldn't believe it.Inspired by this，I decided to realize my dream，even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11,2009，nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.My instructor，Jay，guided me through the experience.The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in，but I wasn't frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience.When we reached 13,000 feet，Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane.When we first hit the air，the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.For a second I thought，“What have I gotten myself into？”It was scary.But then everything got calmer.We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞），then we just floated downward for about five minutes.Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon.I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life.I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old.If there's something you want to experience，look into it.If it's something that is possible，make it happen.1．What was the old lady's dream？（No more than 4

writer of a magazine called Saturday Re v ie w for almost forty years.He also wrote and spoke about world peace，traveling to many different countries to share his ideas.In the 1960s，after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe，Mr Cousins got sick.He found he had a rare disease，known as ankylosing spondylitis.In less than a week after he got back，he could not stand.Every move that he made was painful.He was not able to sleep at night.The doctors told Mr Cousins that they did not know how to cure his disease and he might never get over the illness.Mr Cousins，however，refused to give up hope.Mr Cousins thought that the illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts.He did not want to take medicine to cure himself.Instead，he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching comedy shows on television.Mr Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night.Deciding that the doctors could not help him，Mr Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter.For eight days，Mr Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy shows on television，reading funny books，and sleeping whenever he felt tired.Within three weeks，he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.After a few months，Mr Cousins was able to carry on his pens.He had laughed himself back to health.1．Norman Cousins wrote about ______ for a magazine.A．illness cure B．world peaceC．comedy shows D．traveling stories2．What is NOT TRUE about Norman Cousins' disease?A．It is uncommon.B．It makes walking difficult.C．It is easily cured.D．It is painful.3．Mr Cousins thought that it was ______ that cured him.A．taking a vacation B．running on the beachC．medicine D．laughter4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Mr Cousins

Cousins's struggle with a diseaseC．Laughter，the best medicine for diseasesD．Comedies and funny booksⅣ．阅读简答Not long ago，people thought babies were notable to learn things until they were five or six months old.Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born.The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.Then，they played a recording of a short story.On the day the baby was born，the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way.If the baby moved his mouth the other way，he would hear a different story.The researchers said the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born.They said the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not interfere unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also，the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they heard.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children.Children did better when their mothers were caring，even when they suffered from depression.1．What does the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories prove？（No more than 5 words.）________________________________________________________________________2．In the passage，what factors are mentioned that influence intelligence development in babies？（No more than 8 words.）________________________________________________________________________3．Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills？（No more than 11 words.）________________________________________________________________________4．What is the main idea of the passage？（No more than 8 words.）________________________________________________________________________参考答案Ⅰ．1．Ashamed of；work out2．Embarrassed about；dying for3．put on weight；feel better about myself 4．surprised to

How to Graduate from College with a High GPA (Grade Point Average)One Hour a DayOne of the most challenging things about college is time management. It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you make use of the power of the subconscious (下意识) to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams. Considering the amount of free time you usually have in college, one hour a day is not much in view of the long-term benefits.Select Easy CoursesIn your first term of college, load up on as many “easy A’s” as possible. There are several reasons for this. The first term of college is full of excitement as it is, and there are probably even more today than ever thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and more. The last thing you want to do is add difficult coursework to this. The other reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework becomes more challenging.Join (or Form) Study GroupsIf you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.Use Personal DevelopmentI can honestly say I didn’t involve myse lf in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. Without doubt this had a negative impact on my GPA. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very different.If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to yourcurrent schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available.
