How to Improve Your Study Habits Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here's how: 你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。

你在学校的学习成绩还不错，可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。

然而实际情况未必如此。

你要是想取得更好的分数，也还是能做到的。

是的，即使中等智力水平的学生，在不增加学习负担的情况下，也能成为优等生。

其诀窍如下：1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.1.仔细安排你的时间。

It is a fresh start. You begin your journey with military training. The freshmen with the green military uniform have become a beautiful scenery line in the universities. Here comes my question:1. Do you think military training is necessary? Why or why not?Pros: It builds our body and confidence. Good heath is the foundation of a meaning life. It also seems to build teamwork among individual classes which is beneficial to our future career. It develops a spirit of discipline in life and help us better obey university rules. Another advantage is that it gives the students a taste of the military life. They have more respect for the men who protect their country, and they may even decide to pursue a military career. It can help shape our character and cultivate a spirit of endurance and willpower. The military drill is very tough, but it provides an opportunity to learn not to give up when faced with difficulties.Cons: military training often takes place in summer. It is too hot and is harmful to the health of students. And some instructors are likely to use physical punishment which leads to hurts in body and soul to students. They say that a short period of training can neither build up the bodies nor strengthen the willpower of college students. They argue that more attention should be paid to the daily exercise and activities. It is a waste of time and we should focus our attention on study.2. What are your expectations of your college life?You can acquire specialized knowledge about your major and develop my creative thinking ability and research skills. You have the opportunities to make more new friends and share ideas with people of different minds. You can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people fro diverse backgrounds and cultures. You can start a journey of self-discovery, self-improvement and self-fulfillment. You can have nice living condition and excellent condition for learning.

你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。

在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。

2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。

妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。

”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。

”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。

至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。

3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。

你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。

你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。

4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。

在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。

你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。

你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。

我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。

你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。

如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。

选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。

这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. My name is [Your Name], and I am honored to stand before you today to deliver the first speech of our university life. As we embark on this new chapter, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the freshers and the returning students alike. College life is a unique journey filled with opportunities, challenges, and memories that will shape our future. Let us explore together what this new chapter holds for us.First and foremost, let us acknowledge the significance of this moment. We are here not just to attend classes and earn degrees, but to grow as individuals. College is a place where we can expand our horizons, explore our passions, and discover our strengths and weaknesses. It is a time for self-discovery and personal growth.One of the most exciting aspects of college life is the diverse range of subjects and courses we will encounter. Whether it is the rigor of mathematics, the creativity of art, or the intellectual stimulation of philosophy, each subject offers a unique perspective that can enrich our understanding of the world. As we delve into these subjects, we will develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a broader perspective on life.In addition to academic pursuits, college life offers numerous extracurricular activities. These activities are not only a great way to relax and unwind but also an excellent opportunity to develop new skills and interests. From sports to music, drama to volunteering, there is something for everyone. By participating in these activities, we can build friendships, enhance our teamwork abilities, and even discover hidden talents within us.Another crucial aspect of college life is the development of interpersonal skills. As we interact with people from different backgrounds and cultures, we learn to appreciate diversity and respect different viewpoints. This exposure to different perspectives will not only broaden our minds but also prepare us for the complexities of thereal world. We will learn to communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and resolve conflicts amicably.However, with all these opportunities come challenges. One of thebiggest challenges we will face is managing our time effectively. Balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and personal life canbe overwhelming at times. It is essential to develop good time management skills and prioritize our tasks. By doing so, we can ensure that we make the most of our college experience without compromising our health and well-being.Moreover, we will also encounter academic challenges. The rigor of college coursework can be demanding, and it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed at times. It is crucial to seek help when needed, whether it is from professors, teaching assistants, or peers. Remember, we are not alone in this journey, and there is always someone willing to lend a helping hand.In addition to academic and personal challenges, we will also facesocial challenges. The transition from high school to college can be difficult, especially for those who are moving away from home for thefirst time. It is normal to feel homesick or anxious at times. In such situations, it is important to reach out to friends, family, or counseling services available on campus. Building a strong support network will make this transition smoother and more enjoyable.As we navigate through this new chapter, let us not forget the importance of setting goals and staying motivated. Having clear goalswill give us direction and purpose. Whether it is to excel academically, secure a good job, or contribute to society, goals will keep us focused and driven. Additionally, we should never underestimate the power of motivation. It is the driving force that will enable us to overcome obstacles and achieve our dreams.In conclusion, college life is a journey filled with endless possibilities. It is a time to learn, grow, and discover ourselves. As we embrace this new chapter, let us do so with enthusiasm, determination, and an open mind. Let us seize every opportunity that comes our way,face challenges with resilience, and build a strong foundation for our future.Remember, college is not just about the grades we earn or the parties we attend. It is about the experiences we have, the people we meet, and the lessons we learn. It is about becoming the best version of ourselves and making a positive impact on the world.So, let us welcome this new chapter with open arms, ready to embrace the adventures that lie ahead. Together, we will create memories that will last a lifetime, and we will emerge as stronger, more confident individuals.Thank you for your attention, and let us make the most of thisincredible journey called college life.[Your Name]。

What is the situation of dining out in Russia before thechain restaurants opened?10. Can you list some local favorites in your hometown?2.2 Text StructurePart DivisionMain IdeasI 1—2 Fast food chains are successful and their key to success is tailoringmenus to suit different tastes and cultures.II 3—10 Fast food restaurant McDonald‘s embraces the different preferencesand designs different menus to offer local favorites in different countries.Ⅲ 11 Fast food restaurants are ready and willing to sell people anything they desire to eat.Paragraph Pattern – From general to specific3.Detailed Reading3.1 Background Information3.1.1 France: goose liver, cheese, wineIndia: braised beef with curry, roti prata,tea with milkFOOD LIKES:Food---- KFC; braised beef with curry(咖喱牛肉饭); cheese;hamburger; roti prata (抛饼); goose liverDrinks---- tea with milk ; wine; cola.3.1.2 Specials in Different CountriesFood TabooAt an informal meal, the table setting is not cluttered and all the flatware is laid on the table at one time. At the host's option the dessert utensils may be brought to the table on the dessert plate.To avoid cutter, the general rule for a any table setting is toinclude no more than three utensils on either side of the dinner plate at a time. The exception is the oyster (or seafood) fork, which may be placed to the right of the last spoon even when it is the fourth utensil to the right of the plate. The initial table setting for a typical formal dinner should look something like this: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an international mutual aid movement which says its "primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety" founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith (Bill W. and Dr. Bob) in Akron, Ohio.3.1.3 Fast Food with Global MenuDonna O‘MearaDo you want fries with that? Just what is ―that‖? It depends on where you are in the world. Some of the most successful global businesses on the planet are fast food chains. Their key to success is tailoring menus to suit different tastes and cultures.People around the world have very different preferences in food, and their diets are influenced by geography, local customs and religious restrictions. Some cultures avoid certain foods, or they will eat things you wouldn‘t. Fast food restaurants have embraced these differences. For example, McDonald‘s may not offer the same menu to Russian customers t hat it does to Japanese customers, but people in both countries receive a meal packaged in paper printed with the company‘s identifiable ―M‖.Fast food companies conduct extensive research to tailor menus for regional differences. So, in the bu sy city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where people‘s diets are influenced by their Muslim beliefs, McDonald‘s serves up the McArabia burger. With grilled minced meat combined with onions and Arabian spices, the burger is based on a traditionalfavorite Muslim dinner.And what do hamburger restaurants serve in countries like Japan, where people prefer to eat fish, sushi, and rice? It‘s simple: they offer a hot fried shrimp burger with a side order of steamed rice instead of French fries.Burger chains offer local favorites throughout Asia. Korean burgers are pork patties cooked in a traditional Korean barbecue garlic sauce. Taiwanese diners favor spicy chicken drumstick sandwiches, in line with their tastes for spicy food and dark meat. Thailan d‘s favorite fast food is a spicy pork burger and a green tea pie dessert. Children in Spain order tapas, a lot of small bites of local food favorites, at their local burger restaurant.Australia and New Zealand restaurants reflect local food preferences by adding egg, bacon, beet root, and cheese to burgers.In India, cows are considered sacred and are never killed. Beef and pork are not eaten as this would be a serious offence to Hindu beliefs. Burger sellers faced a huge challenge in designing menus for Indians. A local Indian favorite is the Chicken McCurry Pan, a blend of tomato sauce, mixed with chicken, baked, and served on spiced bread and topped with cheese.Canadian fast food chains serve something that looks like a traditional Canadian dish consisting of French fries covered in cheese curds and gravy. The favorite in El Salvadoran burger chains, is filled with meat and cheese. Argentineans favor steak sandwiches based on a local herbed sauce.Burger chains in the United States offer local favorites, too. In New Mexico, you can get peppers on your sandwich; breakfast burritos are served throughout the Southwest; and pineapple-topped burgers are offered in Hawaii.Before chain restaurants opened in Russia, dining out waslimited and not always a pleasant experience. Waiters were usually rude to many customers. So when more than 125 fast food burger restaurants opened across Russia, a record of 30,000 Russians rushed to the openings, lined up, and waited for hours to buy hamburgers and French fries, all because they were served happily with a smile and a thank-you. Russian people found this to be a delightful experience and made the Russian fast food hamburger business the fifth largest market in all of Europe.The list of local favorites around the world is endless. One thing is for sure: People like to eat, and fast food restaurants are ready and willing to sell them anything they desire. So, if being a restaurant entrepreneur is your dream, you‘d better start planning your global menu now.3.3 Useful Expression1. depend on v.1) 取决于2) 依赖，依靠All living things depend on the sun for their growth.万物生长靠太阳。
