We all know that Chinese students usually study hard for long hours. This is very good, but it can’t help a lot. If you want to study effectively, you must have enough rest and exercise. Every day you need to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some nice places . It’s good for your health. When you return to your studies, your mind will be refreshed (清醒) and you’ll learn mor e and study better . Here take English learning as an example. First you make a lot of progress (进步) and you feel happy. Then your language study seems to stay the same and you want to drop it. This can last your days or even weeks , still you needn’t lose hope . At some point our language study will again take another big jump. You’ll see that you really have been all the time . If you get enough sleep, food, rest and exercise, studying English can be very effective and interesting . Don’t drop it along th e way. Learn slowly and you[’re sure to get a good result.判断正确( A) 错误(B)( )1. Chinese students usually have many effective ways to learn English.( )2. Learning for long hours is not helpful at all( )3. Taking exercise is good for your health as well as study.( )4.

Young children like watching and listening . Color pictures especially interest them. When children are older, they enjoy reading. When something interests them, they love asking questions.Our minds, like our bodies always need the best food. Studying on our ownbrings the most knowledge.If someone is always telling us answers, we never learn well. When we study correctly and get knowledge on our town, we learn more and understand better. ( )6.Why does everyone need to eat well ? It can help people ________________?A. to be healthyB. to study wellC. to enjoy learningD. to like color pictures( )7.
