Passage 8

You are in your last year of junior high school. Have you thought about what it will be like in

high school? Are you ready for a fresh start in a new environment? Some senior high school

graduates from the United States share their tips:

Organize and plan your studies

— 17 —

“The biggest thing is to stay organized,” says Philip Tubiolo, a graduate from Bayport High School. He says you can use either paper or online tools to help with your studies. “I would transfer(转换)paper notes online and make study guides. Everything was in one place for finals and midterms.”

Find your interests

“I knew I was more of a science kid,” says Tubiolo. “I took AP Biology in 10th grade and loved it.”AP(Advanced Placement) classes are college-level classes that high school students can take. He also joined his school’s Science Olympiad team. This allowed him to take part in biology and math contests(比赛). He even decided on a college major(主修科目)， although most students don’t need to make this choice so early. Tubiolo is studying biomedical(生物医学) engineering at his university.

Find healthy ways to relieve(缓解)stress and have fun

“It’s not jut study, study, study,”says Todd.“ I was a track( 田径 ) runner. That was a stress reliever from study.” Sachem North High School graduate Erin agrees. “Though schoolwork is important, it’s equally important to have a little fun,”says the Northeastern University freshman.

Put off dating(约会)

“Don’t get a girlfriend or boyfriend,” advises Esteban, who is studying physics at Stony Brook University. “I started dating in the ninth grade. I got too distracted( 分心的). I lost a lot of friends because I got so caught up in this relationship.”

Passage 9

Homework is a big problem for many students. Luckily, here are several tips for you to make homework easy.

Make a homework plan

Most middle school students usually spend two or three hours doing homework a night. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedules(进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.

Watch where you work

A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don’t study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.

Take a break

Most people’s attention doesn’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework.

Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.

Get help when you need it

Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand.
