Question

【题目】Many top students around us spend lots of time working for the class, but they always get good grades in all subjects. How do they do that? Here are some valuable suggestions.

Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying their lessons as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you, try to do your best.

Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment. When you are studying, don’t answer phone calls, don’t watch TV shows and don’t eat snacks. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.

Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time.

The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an “A”. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes.

阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。
