Do you wonder why your classmates always get higher marks than you?If you think it is because they are cleverer than you,you are really wrong,according to American authors Wood Smethurst and William Luckie. In their book,Study Power,they say that successful students are not cleverer than others and that they just know the best ways to study for exams.

“The best way to study is to study actively,” say the authors. You must ask yourself questions as you work. If you are studying Mao Zedong,for example,you can ask yourself to write down everything good that he did for China. Asking yourself questions like that will help you remember information better and faster. To study better you also need to make the best use of your time:When you study,the authors say,only go on for 20 minutes at a time. If you study for longer,you will start thinking about other things and not learn anything. The authors also tell students to listen to everything their teachers say in class and write it down.

The authors say that everyone can get high marks if they learn actively and follow their tips.

11. According to the passage,some students are successful because they_______.

A. work hard

B. know the best ways to study

C. are cleverer than others

D. write what the teachers say down

12. How can you remember information better and faster?

A. By asking the teachers for help.

B. By reading Study Power.

C. By asking yourself questions.

D. By studying for long.

13. How long does a student study best at a time?

A. For more than 20 minutes.

B. For about 30 minutes.

C. For only 20 minutes.

D. For less than 30 minutes.

14. Why cant students study for long at a time?

A. Because they want to have a rest.

B. Because they will think about other things.

C. Because they will have exams the next day.

D. Because their teachers ask them not to do that.

15. To do better in exams,you should_______.

A. work hard in class

B. make the best use of time

C. think of questions

D. A,B and C

(D)

Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However,it isnt true. Often the longer we stay in a foreign country; the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country.

Books and talks about other peoples culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate(夸大) national characteristics,and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue. In a survey recently carried out in Britain,people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare,the Queen,village inns. English folk dancing,football hooligans(足球流氓),umbrellas,English castles,cricket,and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these features can be found in British culture,they do not reflect the real interests of ordinary British people. They are,in fact,wrong stereotypes(模式化的形象成见)——that is,general features which people wrongly think are typical. What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture!If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture,how much more false their impression of other cultures would be!

16. If we stay a long time in a foreign country,_______.

A. we will sometimes forget about the culture of our own country

B. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country

C. we will usually become aware of our own ignorance(无知) about its culture

D. we can rarely find out anything at all about its culture

17. It is hard to learn about a countrys culture from books because such books_______.

A. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture

A. village inns and castles

B. newspapers

C. foreign visitors

D. British people themselves

19. When asked about their own culture,many British people_______.

A. argued they knew little about British culture

B. said they themselves were not typical of British people

C. gave incorrect answers

D. were surprised by the questions asked
