     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 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 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 teacher says.
     4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points
that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read
that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
     5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about
a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so
don't be overly worried.
     There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others
after you have tried these.

  If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, "Hey, But
terfly Man, "his face would break into a smile. The title suits him.
And he loves it.
     Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly (蝴
蝶) ,once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming
back-thanks to him. But years ago if you'd told him this was what
he'd be doing someday,he would have laughed," You're crazy. "As
a boy,he used to be "a little tough guy on the streets". At age thirteen,
he was caught by the police for stealing. At eighteen ,he land-
ed in prison for shooting a man.
      "I knew it had hurt my morn," Bonner said after he got out of
prison. "So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain
again. "
     One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild
the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo
blue.
     "I saw the sign' Butterfly Habitat' and asked, ' How can you
have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?' "Bonner recalls.
"Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放
大镜) ,' Look at the leaves. ' I could see all these caterpillars (蝶的幼
虫)on the plant. Dr. Mattoni explained, 'Without the plant,
there are no butterflies. '"

him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the
Palos Verdes blue. Since then he's been working for four years to
help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant
the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab
to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
     The butterfly's population, once almost zero, is now up to 900.
For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But
