Tips on Homework

What do you do when you just can’t get yourself to do homework? You know it has to be done. However, it is the last thing on which you want to spend your time. 【1】 Here are some tips to improve your motivation to study.

Set goals for yourself. 【2】 Start by setting goals you know you can achieve easily. For instance, a goal such as getting straight A’s on your next report card would be nice, but it is a major goal. An easier one would be taking a page of notes for your report.

Set a schedule for studying and write it down. Why write it down? Something about the written words makes it harder to ignore. Once you’ve written it down, you’ll do it.

Do the homework you dislike the most first. 【3】 However, if you have a number of small assignments and one major assignment to work on, doing the small ones first will make it seem like you are making progress more quickly.

【4】 You could “allow” yourself to go to a movie on Friday night if you get your History project completed by then, or you could take a snack break once you get the first thirty Maths questions completed.

Find a way to turn your homework assignments into something that interests you. 【5】 I you have to do geometry homework, think about how you could use it when you want to become a building designer. If you are researching Russia and your interestis in wildlife, find out what species you would find there.

A. Use rewards to mark your progress.

B. Do physical exercises during study breaks.

C. They don’t have to be big ones, in fact, the smaller the better.

D. How are you going to get yourself motivated and what is the best way?

E. If you have a choice of topics, choose something you’ve always wanted to learn about.

F. Also, if there is homework you find most difficult, do it first while your mind is still fresh.

G. If your friends ask you to hang out when you have homework to do, stay home and do the work.

作者对于怎样提高学习动力认真完成作业给了几点建议。

【2】C 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲要树立目标。C项“不一定是大目标，事实上越小越好”是对标题的进一步说明，下文说明了目标要具体要能实现，故选C。

【3】F 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲先做最不愿做的作业。F项“作业中如果有最难的要开始在头脑清楚时做。”与上句一致，故选F。

【4】A 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。下文讲作业做完后可以去看电影或吃会零食稍作休息，这些都是对自己的奖励。A项“使用奖励来纪念自己的进步”符合本段意思，适合做标题，故选A。

【5】E 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲想办法把作业变成感兴趣的事去做。E项“如果你能选择主题，你可以选你想学的东西。”下文是举例子进一步论述，故选E。
