Maybe you are an average student.You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessary so,however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here’s how:

1)Plan your time carefully.When you plan your week,you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time. First,list your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

2)Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,radios,or television!When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.

3)Make good use of your time in class.Take advantage of the class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers say.

How northern Europeans beat the winter blues

Ask a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine and this is what you will get: in the first, as raindrops fall from the top of the page, the man behind the window has an unhappy expression. When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.

Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. 【1】 In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings. 2 A person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood, and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 3

Kalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research on SAD has been focused on the brain’s response to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. 4 It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun. 5

A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”

A. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.

B. That’s when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.

C. Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.

D. They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.

E. Yet that link has no scientific basis.

F. It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.

G. It affects about 10% of the population of northern Europe each year.
