I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn’t understand them because I didn’t speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you can make it.”The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I found Chaffey College. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I havehad great rewards. My daughter had written a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why. She wrote that I was the person she most admired because I had started going to college. I will never forget this.4．According to the passage, the author probably is a ________.A．teacher B．doctor C．father D．mother5．What made the author make up her mind to study English?A．What her son said.B．What her daughter said.C．Thinking about herself.D．Thinking about her daughter.6．How did they find Chaffey College?A．On the way to the movies.B．They took a new route and got lost.C．Ask a stranger for information.D．According to the banner.7．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The author came to the United States from another country.B．The author had two children including one daughter.C．What really changed the author’s life was that she believed in herself. D．The author wrote that she was the person her son most admired.Have you ever wondered if you see the same colours as other people? Most people know what blue is when they see it. They call it "blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else s red?The ability to perceive (感知) different colours is up to receptors (接受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving.Some people’s receptors are more developed than others. The inability of thereceptor to feel the light waves correctly means that some people cannot tell the differences between similar colours.Those with more developed receptors can see more colours. We sometimes hear people having an argument about whether something is dark blue or black. It might be because one person has stronger receptors to feel the light than another.In the past, most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. This enabled them to see more colours than usual. Normally monkeys can only see blue and green, but the change allowed them to see red. Their brains automatically (自动地) got used to new colours. This suggests that our brains may adapt depending on our stimulus (刺激) and find new colors of the things we see. Colours could be a very personal experience, unique to everyone.So, the next time you talk about your favourite colour, just remember if yours is blue and your friend says red, you two might actually be thinking about the same colour. What if everyone in the world has the same favourite colour, but just calls it different names?8．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How we perceive colours.B．The inability to see colours.C．What the brain does with signals.D．The connection between receptors and light waves.9．Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Some people cannot feel colours with their developed receptors.B．The more light people feel, the weaker receptors they have.C．People with poor receptors usually have colour weakness.D．People who have strong receptors can see dark blue.10．What’s the purpose of conducting the research on monkeys?A．To test the monkeys with colours.B．To develop the receptors of humans.C．To enable monkeys to find more colors.D．To prove everyone sees colours in a different way.11．Where does the text probably come from?A．A film review. B．A science magazine.C．An art magazine. D．A business newspaper.As teenagers grow up, it can be easy for some to form bad habits. To prevent harmful habits from dominating a teenager’s life is necessary. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make proper changes. To change bad habits isn’t easy, even with many tries.According to modern psychology(心理学)，we must first learn about the “habit cycle”， which works like this:Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something. Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in response to the cue. Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine. For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine) which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of depending on unhealthy snacks is formed.To help a positive change in our bad habits, we must first check our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by applying habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed(reward).Besides changing bad habits,we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits.For example,when we come to a lift (cue), our normal routine is to ride it,but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.Although changing bad habits takes time, yet by showing some self-control and taking many small steps repeatedly we will build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!12．Which word can best replace the underlined word “dominating” in paragraph 1? A．Benefiting.B．Controlling.C．Valuing.D．Recollecting.13．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．How “habit cycle” works.B．Why “habit cycle” should be carried out.C．What benefits “habit cycle” can bring to us.D．When and where “habit cycle” should be used.14．How can we changing our bad habits?A．By putting our own positive ideas into habit cycles.B．By checking our bad habit cycles and getting used to them.C．By listening to some favourite music and relaxing ourselves.D．By replacing a positive routine with something more negatives.15．Which is the right routine in the habit cycle when you feel stressed and want to get energetic?A．Eating much junk food.B．Staying up to watch football matches.C．Playing basketball with friends.D．Playing computer games for a long time.二、五选五Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV. 16 We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.17We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at leastthree or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework.18 Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day!Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows, 19 It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“Old habits die hard.”20A．So start exercising before it’s too late!B．And twenty percent do not exercise at all.C．but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.D．Here are the results.E．The answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting.三、单项选择21．—Tom, did you ever see _____ book that I bought with you last week?—No, but Dad saw____ book under the bed this morning.

Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks, 31 all my calls and messages.With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to 32 my paper. I was just looking up when a 33 caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good 34 ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t 35 ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked 36 down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had 37 her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her 38 and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really 39 that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n) 40 today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was 41 .I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t 42 who my friends are. Will you forgive me?〞 At these words, from my deep heart sprang upa burst of guilt along with the belief: Friendship is an honor and a gift, and worththe effort to treasure.SEC TIO N C Dir ect ion s: Com ple te the fol lowing passage by using ONE word that best fits the context.Nowadays we can find advertisements almost everywhere. We are so used to them 43 we often do not realize how many we see or hear a day.An advertisement uses words and pictures to persuade people to buy a product or service, or to believe an idea. Newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio and television are 44 most common places to find them. There are 45 main types of advertisements —commercial advertisements and public service advertisements (PSAs).A commercial advertisement is one which someone has paid for to advertise a product or service. PSAs are often run for free, and are meant to educate people about health, safety or any other problem 46 affects public welfare.Most of these ads are meant to benefit the public, and you can often learn a lot 47 following the advice they give. 48 , some false ads play tricks on us, fooling us into consumptions. So, 49 it comes to advertisements, we must use our intelligence and not to be 50 slave to them.AHaving Fun "Growing 〞 and “Stealing〞？Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students ．People can “farm〞 on a piece of “land〞 and “grow'〞， “sell〞 or even “steal〞 “vegetables〞, “flowers〞 and ‘'fruits" on the Net , They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds〞 “pets〞 and even “houses"．Joyce interviewed some young people.

He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful〞 as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial express ions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in doing so, I’m delighted with my new frie nd. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.55. Why did the author feel uncomfortable about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. Hewas too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.56. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel _______.A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe57. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkativeC. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.58. The underlined words “my new friend〞 in the last paragraph refer to_____ .A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend o f the author’s fatherD. the café ownerCEat healthier. Exercise twice a week. Read more books. Lose weight. We make the same resolutions every year. But most of us fail, and quit after only a few days or weeks．Even the most successful among us, those who have climbed to the top of their fields, crash and burn when it comes to personal change. For example, President Barack Obama has struggled with his smoking habit．So why is change so challenging? Are we wired in a way that keeps us from making changes? And do we need the support of others to reach our goals, or can we go it alone?Professionals who help people make-changes in their lives suggest that the change is determined not by one’s surroundings, but one's mind．Beginning with small goals or steps usually leads to a bigger pay-off later, they say．And trying to make a change is easier with support from a cheery group of friends, family, or co-workers with shared goals．But they caution that the experience is different for everyone．"People are more likely to make positive changes in their lives not only when their friends do, but when their friends of friends do, and when their friends of friends of friends do," said Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard University．"Social networks have this interesting property of magnifying (放大) everything, and so taking advantage of your social network ties can result in a magnification of your own efforts.Johnny Augustin understands that well．His goal was to reduce 30 pounds from his 237-pound frame．But the change didn’t come easily．He said "I'm a huge procrastinator．There is a desire but I just kept putting it off．I didn't get to do it until the summer．"However, Augustin got inspired when he saw his older brother working out．Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds．Having a positive attitude is one of the keys to making a successful change, according to Judy Zerafa, author of several books based on how people can improve their lives．She emphasized the importance of believing in yourself—and having positive habits, creative imagination, and persistence—to make change happen．"Success in overcoming any self-defeating behavior particularly those related to health, finances, relationships and weight loss is almost guaranteed if you learn to reprogram the subconscious images in that part of the mind,〞 Zerafasaid in an article.59. According to the passage, Nicholas Chirstakis means that _______.A．friendship plays an important role in our daily livesB．people are better able to make changes when they make changes with others C．friends can easily change our minds about something．D．friends' support plays a bigger role in one's success than one’s mind 60．The word "procrastinator" in Paragraph 5 refers to those who_____．A．have great determination to make a changeB．have no desire to do something great C．put off work especially out of lazinessD．have habitual carelessness and laziness61．The passage is mainly about .A．the reason why change is so hardB．the difficulty we have in making a changeC．the ways of making a change in your lifeD．the attitudes towards making a change62．What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A．Useful methods used to avoid negative thoughts．B．The side effects of self-defeating behavior．C．The ways Judy Zerafa advised to make a change．D．Examples about the importance of a positive attitude．PART FOUR WRITING (26 scores)SECTION ADirections:Read the following passage.

I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles.

We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself.

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “Having been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income.B．To encourage people to plant trees.C．To allow people to get more rest.D．To remind people to get close to nature. 9．Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?A．Increase.B．Figure.C．Record.D．Stop.10．What does Soipan Tuya want to say by referring to the day as “a ‘hummingbird’ contribution day”?A．We should get on well with birds.B．No contribution is too small to leave animpact.C．Each animal is important to nature.D．It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB．Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC．Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD．Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ mental well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon.B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question.D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies.B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants.D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering.B．Interesting.C．Conventional.D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

People, animals and even trees need clean air to live. However, the air in many big cities is getting dirtier and dirtier.Car fumes are the main reason city air is dirty. The fumes come out of millions of cars and trucks. Factories also give off fumes. These fumes make the air good for breathing.How can we clean city air? Some European countries have solved a lot of their problems. One group built a special tower in a city park. The tower cleaned the air. A similar tower was built in another city. They sucked dirty air from one side and put clean air out on the other side. The air in between the two sides was cleaned.Another group in Europe cleaned dirty air with machines. They blow dirty air through the machines. The machines made it clean. These machines are as big as cupboards. A lot of these are put together in a city. They make a big wind. This wind keeps the dirty air away from the city.Bright Young will hold its annual talent show on June 10th.

While this is certainly true, it is also important to remember that learning doesn't just stop once you step out of the school building. There are opportunities to learn everywhere, and it is essential to take advantage of them in order to grow and develop as a person.One of the best ways to learn outside the classroom is by reading. Reading books can expose you to new ideas and experiences that you may not have encountered before. Whether it's a novel that transports you to a different world, or a non-fiction book that teaches you about a new subject, reading can help you to expand your horizons and challenge your beliefs.Talking to people is another valuable way to learn outside the classroom. Whether it's having a conversation with a friend, family member, or even a stranger, talking to others can provide you with new perspectives and insights that you may not have considered before. By engaging in meaningful conversations, you can learn from the experiences and knowledge of others, and gain a deeper understanding of the world around you.Finally, engaging in new experiences is a powerful way to learn outside the classroom. Trying new activities, visiting new places, and exposing yourself to different cultures can help you to develop new skills and expand your awareness of the world. Whether it's traveling to a foreigncountry, learning a new hobby, or participating in a community event, embracing new experiences can enrich your life and help you to learn andgrow in ways that you never thought possible.In conclusion, learning is not limited to the classroom. There areendless opportunities to learn outside of school, and it is important to take advantage of them in order to grow and develop as a person. By reading,talking to people, and engaging in new experiences, you can continue tolearn and expand your horizons long after you have left the classroom.22.

Visiting New PlacesCMost children love to play games in their free time. They like playing with their friends or on their own. Games can be fun and help them to relax. However, many people think that games can also be bad for children.One argument is that children who play games spend too much time in front of a screen. This can be bad for their eyes and health. It can also mean that they do not get enough exercise, which can cause health problems. In the past, children used to play outside for hours every day. Now, many children spend more time inside playing games on computers or games consoles.Some people also say that games can make children violent. Many games show people fighting or shooting each other. This can frighten children or make them think that violence is normal. Some children may copy things they see in games. It is important that children understand that games are not real and that violence is not acceptable.However, others say that games can be good for children. They say that games can help children to learn new things and improve their skills. Games can be educational and can help children to learn about differentsubjects. Some games can also help children to think carefully and to solve problems.In conclusion, games can be fun and relaxing, but it is also important for parents to make sure that children do not spend too much time playing games. It is also important for children to play games that are suitable for their age and to understand that games are not real.26.

He was born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770. He gave his first public performance at the age of seven. Beethoven moved to Vienna when he was 17. There, he studied briefly with Haydn, who was in residence in the city. Beethoven soon struck out on his own, studying with other teachers and with nobody at all, for he was often said to learn only from himself. Beethoven revolutionized every form of music he touched.In 1802, Beethoven wrote a famous document called the “Heiligenstadt Testament”! In it he described how his deafness had caused him to lose all hope for a happier future. The document actually shows that Beethoven had already overcome despair (绝望). The rest of his life would be devoted to his art. He went on to produce some of the most beautiful music ever written, works like the Seventh and Ninth Symphonies and the “Archduke” Trio (三重奏). Beethoven died in Vienna in 1827. Even though he was unable to hear his music he could still see with his own eyes the great effect it was creating on the world. With the passing of the years, people came to see Beethoven as not only a great composer, but a symbol of humanity’s striving for beauty, freedom, and goodness.30分）30.

Spring.B. Summer.C. Autumn.D. Winter.9.What is the main idea of the third paragraph？______A. The disappearance of the ice has negative effects on polar bears.B. Polar bears have to compete with other species for food sources.C. Land animals don't provide the high fat diet that polar bears need.D. Hungry bear mothers can't provide their babies with the nutrition needed.10.What is biologists' attitude to the animals' strange behavior？______A. Doubtful.B. Relieved.C. Positive.D. Worried.11.What can be the best title for the text？______A. Why is pack ice becoming smaller？B. What measures can we take to protect polar bears？C. Are polar bears in danger from global warming？D. Is global warming becoming more and more serious？DStress isn't just a state of mind.It's something that can create disorder in your body.Experts say poor physical health can often signal poor mental health.Research shows stress affects the nervous system and can even cause structural （结构的）changes in the brain,which can change how we think and change our memory.Stress can also weaken our immune （免疫的）system,making us ill more easily.How do you check your body for stress Kennedy,director of psychology at Driftwood Recovery Center in Texas,said sometimes it's easier for someone to focus on physical symptoms （症状）than to identify what they're feeling emotionally.That's why she advises her patients to perform a daily body check. "We're not going to be aware of how we're feeling or how we're starting to have a little more muscle tension," Kennedy said.To check in,you need to slow down. "Check in with each muscle group,from your feet to your head," she said. "You can notice things like, 'Oh,I'm having a headache,' or 'maybe I'm having some fatigue，which makes me want to sleep.'"Kennedy said,while stress may not feel good,our body's responses to it are likely to be a goodthing in the end if we can make full use of these signals.She also notes that one of the things that can be most healing （治愈的）to a body is connection to another person."There's neurochemicals （神经化学物质）that actually get produced in our brains when we're connecting with others in a meaningful way," she said. "Relationships and connection with others are key."12.What effects can stress bring about？______A. Stress can cause health problems.B. Stress can improve brain structure.C. Stress can build immune system.D. Stress can influence brains positively.13.Kennedy advises patients to check their bodies because ______ .A. people think they are seriously ill.B. people have a little more muscle tension.C. people think emotional feelings are more important.D. people focus more easily on physical symptoms than on feelings.14.What does the underlined word "fatigue" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？______A. Excitement.B. Anxiety.C. Tiredness.D. Satisfaction.15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph______A. Stress is of great benefit if dealt with properly.B. Stress may not feel good to reduce stress.C. Stress is produced by neurochemicals in our brains.D. Stress is removed only through meaningful communication.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）We all grew up hearing parents and teachers tell us to do well in school.The fact is that if so,we'll have many more choices in the future.However,No matter how far you are in your education,it can be a challenge. （1）______ .Take notes while you listen or read. （2）______ .Besides,it also helps your brain stay active and absorb information adequately.If your teacher allows you to take notes while they're talking in class,write down key points in the text,or make note of questions you have about the material while you read.Ask questions if you don't understand something.It's your teacher's job to help you learn and understand. （3）______ .Asking questions will not only help you learn the material better butwill also show your teachers that you're engaged and interested.（4）______ .This may seem pretty obvious,but it can be easy to get swamped （不堪承受）and lose track of all the work you're supposed to be doing.Make sure to complete your assigned reading and stay on top of any work you're required to hand in.Not only will your grades suffer if you don't do your homework assignments,but you also won't learn as much!Participate in after-class activities.Consider signing up for school clubs,sports teams,or student committees.These activities can be fun and enriching,and they're also a good way for you to get to know your teachers and fellow students. （5）______ .A.Take frequent breaks while you study.B.Keep up with your homework assignments.C.Most students don't know how to take notes.D.Therefore,don't hesitate to ask them questions.E.Luckily the tips below are of practical help to you.F.Taking notes helps you remember what you hear or read.G.Additionally,they will look good on college and job applications.16.
