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

  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 plan of your time. Don’t forget to spare enough time for entertainment. A weekly plan may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

  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, focus on the subject.

  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.

  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. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

  Develop a good attitude(态度)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 too worried.

  There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

  Most little girls love to dress up as princesses. It is difficult to imagine what might be wrong with that.

  But one author has written a book on how she believes the fairy(仙女) tales send a dangerous message. Jennifer L Hardstein is the author of the recently-published book Princess Recovery.

  In her book, Dr Hardstein says that traditional stories like Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella advertise the idea that if a girl is pretty enough and has fancy clothes and shoes, she can find love and be popular. T he author refers to this phenomenon(现象) as the “Princess Syndrome(公主综合症)”.

  These kinds of messages, she says, have a huge influence on a girl's self-confidence and make it hard for children to understand as they grow up, that wisdom, generosity and passion(热情) are more important values.

  During an appearance on CBS’ Early Show, Dr Hardstein explained: “Girls are getting this message everywhere that... what their worth is based on is how they look and the things that they have, and it's very superficial.”

  Speaking on the show she said: Parents think their kids will understand the messages that they are attacked with all the time but they don't.

  As well as warning of the dangers of “Princess Syndrome”, her book advises parents how to guide their children from an early age.

  She adds that it's no t just magazines, TV shows and online media that is giving our children the wrong ideas about what is important.

  She makes a promise to parents, “Princess Recovery will bring balance, confidence, and self-sufficiency into your daughter’s life while giving her a modern, colorful childhood.”

  My mother loves flowers. We live next door to each other, so she often spends much time planting flowers in my garden. In summer, she often makes colourful bouquets(花束) and puts them inside the houses---both hers and mine.

  One year, shortly before Christmas, a local flower shop offered an activity for mothers in each month of the next year. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years. I couldn’t wait the new year so that I could give a bouquet to her!

  After the Christmas, in early January. I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month’s bouquet. The small bouquet would hardly fill a small vase. I was so embarrassed. “Mum, I’m sorry,” I told her. “I didn’t know how skimpy that bouquet was.” She looked at me and smiled. “It’s okay,” she said. “It allows me to enjoy the beauty of each one better.”
