Language Points1.Brains aren’t the only answer.brains — intelligence or the ability to learn and understand things quickly, to solve problems and to make good decisions.Examples:1) Tom’s got brains but is too lazy to use them (=he’s clever but doesn’t use his advantage).2) I hope the baby has his mother’s brains(=intelligence) and his father’s good looks.2. The most gifted students do not necessarily perform best in exams.—It’s not always true that the most gifted students do best in exams.A. necessarily —It is often used in negatives to mean “in every case” .Examples:1) Books are not necessarily the best teacher—sometimes we learn more from our experiences．2) The fact that something is cheap doesn’t necessarily mean it’s of low quality.★ If we reply “Not necessarily”，we mean that what has just been said or suggested may not be true．Example:A: We’ll need to employ another teacher, then.B: Not necessarily.B. perform— do (a job)；complete (a task)Examples:1) Computers can perform many different tasks．2) The firefighters performed outstanding acts of bravery in the September 11 attack．◆ perform well／badly／poorly — work well／badly／poorly;achieve a good／poor result3. make the most of (sth./sb.)— to gain the greatest possible advantage from something Examples:1) The young lady has learned to make the most of every opportunity offered to her.2) One secret of A students is to make the most of the university library.3) We've only got one day in Paris, so we'd better make the most of it.★ make the most of sth. = make the most out of sth.4. count for much／little／nothing— be of much／little／no worth or importanceExamples:1) He knows only one side of the story and therefore his opinion counts for very little.2) A man with no sense of responsibility does not count for anything.3) His promises don't count for much.4) His overseas results count for nothing.5.

I quit because I’ve found a better job.2) Quarrelling every day is not the whole story／only part of the story of the couple’s separation. The most important reason is that they don’t love each other any longer.B. Some other usages of “story”:Examples:1)Well.

(Nobody heard the baby’s cry.)2) Some guests at the party went unattended. (Nobody attended them.)3) All the books on the table went untouched. (Nobody touched the books.)9. focus—direct one’s attention, etc. on sth.Examples:1) Today’s topic focused on Chinese festivals.2) Their search effort focused on the development of a new chemical.◆ ‘‘Focus’’ is similar to “concentrate” in the sense ofdirecting one’s attention on sth.

下面YJBYS店铺分享21世纪大学英语读写教程第一册Unit1的内容讲解，欢迎参考!unit 1text alisteningfirst listeningbefore listening to the tape, have a quick look at the following words.grade分数concentrate全神贯注schedule时间表pressure压力selectively有选择地relevant有关的skip over跳过;略过approach方法second listeninglisten to the tape again. then, choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1. the purpose of this listening passage is ____.a) to describe college lifeb) to give advice for college successc) to warn against being lazy at colleged) to increase college enrollment(入学人数)2. according to the listening passage, the most important key to getting good grades at college is _____.a) asking questions in classb) doing assignments ahead of timec) working as hard as you cand) learning how to study effectively3. which of the following does the listening not say you should do?a) organize your time and materials.b) write down every word the professor says in class.c) treat studying like business.d) study together.pre-reading questions1. based on the title, guess what the text is about.2. look at the subheadings, 1-8, in the text. which of these activities do you already do? in which areas do you feel you need improvement?3. are there any "secrets" to your own success as a student? in other words, do you have any special study techniques which have been very successful for you?secrets of a studentsedwin kiester & sally valentine kiesteralex, now a first-year student in natural sciences atcambridge, played football for his school in manchester and directed the school production of a play — but he left school with five a's. amanda, studying english at bristol university, acted in plays at her school and played tennis regularly. yet she still managed to get four a's.how do a students like these do it? brains aren't the only answer. the most gifted students do not necessarily perform best in exams. knowing how to make the most of one's abilities counts for much more.hard work isn't the whole story either. some of these high-achieving students actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates. the students at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can easily learn. here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of a students.1. concentrate! top students allow no interruptions of their study time. once the books are open, phone calls go unanswered, tv unwatched and newspapers unread. "this doesn't mean ignoring important things in your life," amanda explains. "it means planning your study time so that you can concentrate. if i'm worried about a sick friend, i call her before i start my homework. then when i sit down to study, i can really focus."2. study anywhere — or everywhere. a university professor in arizona assigned to tutor underachieving college athletes, recalls a runner who exercised daily. he persuaded him to use the time to memorise biology terms. another student stuck a vocabulary list on his bathroom wall and learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth.3. organize your materials. at school, tom played basketball. "i was too busy to waste time looking for a pencil or a missingnotebook. i kept everything just where i could get my hands on it," he says. paul, a student in new mexico, keeps two folders for each subject —one for the day's assignments, the other for homework completed and ready to hand in. a drawer keeps essentials together and cuts down on time-wasting searches.4. organize your time. when a teacher set a long essay, alex would spend a couple of days reading round the subject and making notes, then he'd do a rough draft and write up the essay. he would aim to finish a couple of days before the assignment was due so that if it took longer than expected, he'd still meet the deadline. amanda stuck to a study schedule that included breaks every two hours. "trying to study when you're overtired isn't smart," she advises. "even a short break to stretch or get some fresh air can work wonders."5. learn how to read. "i used to spend hours going through irrelevant material," amanda remembers. "but then i got used to reading quickly; if the first sentence of a paragraph wasn't relevant, i'd move on to the next paragraph." "the best course i ever took," says an oklahoma student, "was speed-reading. i not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book's table of contents and pictures first. then, when i began to read, i had a sense of the material and i retained a lot more." to such students, the secret of good reading is to be an active reader —one who keeps asking questions that lead to a full understanding of the material being read.6. take good notes. "before writing anything, i pide my page into two parts," says amanda, "the left part is about a third of the page wide; the right, two-thirds. i write my notes in the wider part, and put down the main ideas on the left. during revision, this is very useful because you can see immediately why the material isrelevant, rather than being worried by a great mass of information." just before the end of lesson bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, talk to friends and get ready to leave. but a smart student uses those few minutes to write two or three sentences about the lesson's main points, which he scans before the next class.7. ask questions. "if you ask questions, you know at once whether you have got the point or not," says alex. class participation is a matter of showing intellectual curiosity. in a lecture on economics, for example, curious students would ask how the chinese economy could be both socialist and market-driven, thus interesting themselves not only in whats, but also in whys and hows.8. study together. the value of working together was shown in an experiment at the university of california at berkeley. a graduate student there who observed a first-year calculus course found that asian-american students discussed homework, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another while the others studied alone, spent most of their time reading and rereading the text, and tried the same approach time after time even if it was unsuccessful.after all, the secrets of a students are not so secret. you can learn and master them and become an a student, too.new wordsperformvt. 执行, 完成; 演出, 表演vi. 演出, 表演; 工作, 表现; 执行, 完成high-achievinga. 得高分的lower-scoringa. 得分较低的concentratevi. direct all one's attention, etc. towards sth. 全神贯注;集中思想;专注;专心interruptionn. 打扰; 干扰; 中止; 阻碍ignorevt. take no notice of; refuse to pay attention to!! 不理;忽视focusv. direct attention, etc. on sth. 集中注意力于某事情assignvt. appoint to a job or duty 委派; 指派underachievinga. doing less well than was expected, esp. in school work 未能充分发挥学习潜力的;学习成绩不良的athleten. a person who is good at or who often does spors 运动员recallvt. bring back to the mind; remember 回想(起);记得memorise, -rizevt. learn and remember 记住;熟记missinga. 缺失的，找不到的;失踪的，下落不明的notebookn. small book for writing notes in 笔记本;记事本foldern. 文件夹assignmentn. a duty or piece of work that is given to someone (指定的)作业;(分派的)任务drawern. 抽屉essentialn.

21世纪大学英语读写教程第一册Reading Aloud及翻译Unit 1Reading Aloud:How do A students like these do it? Brains aren't the only answer. The most gifted students do not necessarily perform best in exams. Knowing how to make the most of one's abilities counts for much more.Hard work isn't the whole story either. Some of these high-achieving students actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates. The students at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can easily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of A students.Translation: 像他们这样的优等生是如何做到这一点的呢？脑子好使并不是唯一的答案。

最有天赋的学生未必在考试中取得最好的成绩。

懂得如何充分利用自己的才能要重要得多。

学习刻苦也不能说明全部问题。

在这些成绩优秀的学生中，有些人投入的时间其实比那些分数低的同学还少。

班级中拔尖学生的成功之道在于他们掌握了一些基本的技巧，这些技巧其他人也能很容易地学到。

根据教育专家和学生们自己的叙述，优等生成功的奥秘有以下几点。
