Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:

1．Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.

2．Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.

3．Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions, Skimming(略读)helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.

4．      . Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.

5．Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively（过分地）about a single test.

There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.

When author Nicholas Carr began researching his book on whether the Internet is ruining our minds，he restricted his online access and e?mail.His new book argues the latest technology renders us less capable of deep thinking.Carr found himself so distracted(分心的) that he couldn’t work on the book while staying as connected.After first feeling confused by his sudden lack of online connection，he was able to stay focused on one task for a long period within several weeks.

Reading on the Internet has changed how we use our brains.Facing a lot of texts，video，music and links to other web pages and blogs，our minds have become used to skimming and scanning information.As a result，we have developed sharper skills at making fast decisions，particularly visual ones，Carr wrote.

But now most of us seldom read books or long articles that would help us focus.We are becoming more like librarians—able to find information quickly and see clearly the best nuggets(有价值的资料)．That lack of focus hinders(阻碍) our long?term memory，leading many of us to feel distracted，he wrote.

“What we are losing is a whole other set of mental skills，which require not the shifting of our focus but the maintaining of our focus，” Carr said，adding that for centuries books protected our brains from distraction and focused our minds on one topic at a time.

But with devices such as Apple’s iPad becoming common，Carr predicts books also will change.“New forms of reading always require new forms of writing，” he said.Carr has a suggestion for those who feel web surfing has left them incapable of concentration—slow down，turn off the Internet and practice the skills of contemplation(沉思) and reflection.“It is pretty clear from the brain science that if you don’t exercise particular cognitive skills，you are going to lose them，” he said.“If you are constantly distracted，you are not going to think in the same way that you would think if you paid attention.”

1.What topic is Nicholas Carr’s new book mainly concentrating on?

A．Whether there is any need for us to surf the Internet.

B．How the Internet changes our way of thinking.

C．What we should do when we are surfing the Internet.

D．Whether our minds are being influenced by the Internet.

2.How did Nicholas Carr feel after he limited his time online several weeks later?

A．Anxious.? B．Relaxed.

C．Concentrated.? D．Puzzled.

3.The underlined word renders in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．prevents? B．causes

C．protects? D．sharpens

4.What’s Nicholas Carr’s suggestion for people who are often distracted by the Internet?

A．They should read more books besides surfing the Internet.

B．They should often slow down their pace of modern living.

C．They should often get away from the disturbing of the Internet.

D．They should spend more time thinking while surfing the Internet.
