(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,reading 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.

Can American students afford to take a summer vacation?In a summer vacation,millions of children spend valuable time sending messages,watching TV,playing video games and doing shopping in the mall.They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.
Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn't need an education to get a good job.But now things have changed.For today's students,academic skills are important to students'future success,but such skills are affected in the summer time.Many other countries don't give children an American style summer vacation.They offer no more than seven consecutive (连续的) weeks of vacation.Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks.To compete in the global marketplace,Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.
Summer vacation also causes challenges for today's families.In the 1960s,more than 60% of families had a stayathome Mum.Now,two thirds of American children live in households where every adult works.For these families,summer vacation can be more a burden than a break.Someone must watch the kids.
But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement.Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose ground in the summer time.
Any good suggestion?Yes.A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work.Rather,it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons.Students would have more time to devote to sports,music and the arts.
To conclude,a long summer vacation can be a great thing.But in the 21st century,it may also be outdated.(313words)

The American Heart Association suggests two ways to perform CPR.One combines the use of hands to pump the victim's chest(胸腔)with rescue breathing.The other method is called"Hands-Only CPR",which is for people who are unwilling or unable to perform rescue breathing.Some people fear infection(感染).Others say they are afraid of making the patient worse.
But the American Heart Association strongly asks people in contact with a victim(受害者) to take action and tells how to take it.It says you can recognize a person needing CPR.He or she is unconscious(无意识)--unable to communicate or react to surroundings or speech.His or her skin has lost color.The person is not breathing.If such conditions describe the situation,chances are the heart has stopped beating.
You should act by calling for help,or sending someone else.Even if you cannot do mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing,you can perform Hands-Only CPR.You can do chest compressions(压迫) that help to keep blood flowing to the brain and the heart.To perform the compressions,place one hand over the other and press firmly on the center of the victim's chest.Push down about five centimeters.Aim for one hundred compressions each minute.
Doctor Sayre suggests that medical workers do both the breathing method and chest compressions as usual.He says some victims,including babies,need the mouth-to-mouth breathing with the compressions.Still,the doctor says it is better to do just chest compressions than to do nothing.
