It's very common for students' marks to fall. Sometimes it is because of situations outside of school, such as problems at home. Sometimes it is simply because the tests get harder as you get older.
If you can think about what was happening when your marks started to fall, you may be able to solve this problem.
Stop comparing yourself with other people. It does not matter if other students get higher test marks than you. What is important is that you do your best.
Try talking to a friendly teacher. He or she will be able to help you with the subjects you find difficult.
Before each test, you should go through your notes from class. You should remember the most important things you have written in a shorter form.
Pictures can also be helpful. Write the subject in the centre of a page, and then surround it with main related points.
Look through your shorter notes and pictures again just before the test. You will be surprised when you find you remember so much.
It may take hard work. And your marks may not improve straight away. But let your confidence rise by every mark. Soon they should begin to climb again.

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Talk slowly.
B. Concentrate on the topic.
C. Express your feelings.
D. Notice the details.
E. Use the best words.
F. Introduce something interesting.
1.Generally, good talkers don’t rush into a conversation. They take their time when they think about something and when they say it out loud. They act as if they have all the time in the world. This makes them the center of attention. Try this way of talking and you will create the same effect.
2.People with good conversation skills tend to notice the kind of things that the average person doesn’t notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an interesting ring on the other person’s hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use when saying a name. Thus, such individuals impress people in a very elegant manner.
3.It’s very rare to meet a person who is comfortably talking about their emotions and how certain things make them feel, especially with strangers. Yet this way of talking is a real virtue. Don’t just present the facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional level that people connect best.
4.Anyone can talk about the news or express basic opinions. But good talkers can frequently tell you something you didn’t know and that you’ll find interesting and fascinating. This is why it’s good to have knowledge into fields such as psychology or sociology, and bring such knowledge out at the right moments in a conversation.
5.The ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise words to convey your feelings or thoughts. Constantly develop your vocabulary and practice communicating as accurately as possible. It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.

“Why should I care about the environment?” some people ask. There is a very simple reason: We live on the earth, and it is the only place we can live on right now, as we cannot live in space yet. If we treat the earth like a garbage dump, it will become dirty and unlivable. If we treat it well by being eco-conscious, the earth will stay clean and suitable for living, for ourselves and for our children.
What is “being eco-conscious”?
Being eco-conscious means being aware of your actions, and what you do to the environment. For example, you might think, “Using hairspray is great for fixing my hair.” However, if you are eco-conscious, you would ask, “Does this hairspray have CFCs in it? Could I be destroying the earth by using hairspray?”
How can I be eco-conscious?
You can find many simple ways to help the environment in your everyday life.
When you go shopping, bring a bag or a basket with you. Please try not to use plastic bags as much as you can.
You can go to work by bike or on foot if it is not far from your home.
You can put your rubbish into different bags, which makes it convenient for recycling.
You can eat less chewing gum.
You can use your own chopsticks instead of the disposable ones in your company or in restaurants.
You can put batteries in a special box instead of in garbage bins.
You can use the water which has been used for washing vegetables or fruits to clean the floor and the toilet or to water your garden.
You can turn off the decorative lights in your room when watching TV.
You can turn down your air conditioner by one degree, as this will cause a 10% reduction in energy use.
You can use recycled paper. Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil. You can also use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials. This will reduce the related air pollution by 20%, and the related water pollution by 50%.
Please believe that. If you do a little, it will make a big difference.
1.Human beings should care about the environment because _________ .
A．if we make the earth unlivable, we’ll have to live in space
B．it can help our children live better

2.If your deskmate is an eco-conscious person, he should __________.
A．be aware of the importance of protecting the environment

A．share a car with your colleagues
B．use paper bags instead of plastic bags
C．use hairspray containing CFCs
D．use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A．it’s very hard for human beings to keep the earth clean and comfortable
B．protecting the environment is the duty of everybody
C．we should protect the environment together, as it’s no use doing it individually
