Read the following text to find out what some of these secrets are.,In-Depth,In-Depth,Secrets of Straight-A Students,A professor of education who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students. According to him
30、, other education experts and top students themselves, it is far more important for a student to know how to his or her innate abilities.,_,_,_,_,_,The students at the top of the class . academic excellence by mastering a few basic principles that others can easily learn. To begin with, top students
31、 know how to set their priorities right. Study time is never compromised for phone calls, television programmes or snacks.,make the most of,attain,2,1,In-Depth,In other words, it is always placed above recreation. In addition, top students make a point of studying anywhere or everywhere. A top stude
32、nt who is also a top athlete memorises biology terms as he works out every day. Another student learns a new word every morning while brushing his teeth. Among all the students interviewed, every one agreed that study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some thrive at night when all
33、is silent. Others prefer to study as soon as they come home from school when the lessons are fresh in their minds. However, all agreed that consistency is a main factor if one is to perform well at all times.,_,_,_,proper places because he simply cannot afford time-wasting searches. Another student
34、immediately files the days notes in colour-coded folders so that they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique advocated by top students is to read effectively. This includes speed-reading, improving ones memory or retention ability, and actively asking questions that wil
35、l lead to a full understanding of the authors message.,In-Depth,A student must also learn to be organised. For example, a top student who is actively involved in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their,3,In-Depth,4 It is also im
36、portant for students to know how to schedule their time. They must know how to pace each assignment or project according to their daily timetable and work ability so that they might not be overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. Being able to set timetables not only allows students more time to review and
37、 polish their work, it also prevents them from procrastinating. Top students believe that a secret of their success is the taking down of good notes during lessons and using them for revision. One student revealed that she writes notes from the text on one side of her notebook and those from her tea
38、chers lectures on the other side. This allows her to review both aspects of each lesson at once. The,_,_,_,_,_,In-Depth,student also revealed that instead of wasting time whispering to friends and getting ready to rush out of the class just before the bell rings, she uses those few minutes to jot do
39、wn a two or three-sentence summary of the lessons principal points. She then scans the notes to refresh her memory before the next days class.,5 Another winning formula which teachers promote lies in a students ability to hand in neat work. According to one professor, the student who turns in neat w
40、ork is already scoring an A.,_,_,on the way to,In the classroom context, it is equally important for students to speak up and ask questions. This is perhaps the best way for a student to clarify any doubts. Classroom participation also demonstrates a students intellectual curiosity. As a student con
41、cisely puts it, “Better grades come from better understanding.” The value of studying together was demonstrated in an experiment conducted at one top university. The study revealed that students who discussed homework and problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to
42、 one another scored higher than those who laboured on their own. The experiment also illuminated the value of hypothetical tests conducted among the students and on their own. This means that students frame tentative,In-Depth,_,_,6,In-Depth,test questions based on their notes and give each other or
43、themselves written examinations the day before a test. Experts confirmed that students who devise possible test questions often find many of the same questions during the real examination and thus score higher.,7 Another technique employed by top students is to do more than the assigned homework. A
44、student revealed that if her teacher gives five problems, she will undertake ten. In the students words, “Part of learning is practising. The more you practise, the more you learn.” Last,_,_,_,In-Depth,but not least, all experts and top students agree that the most important “secret” of super-achiev
45、ers lies in the crucial contribution by parents. From infancy, super-achievers were taught the importance of learning by their parents. The latter set high standards for their children and held them to those standards. They encouraged their children in their studies but did not undertake the work fo
46、r them.,Instead of pressuring their children, these parents were always loving, gentle and took pains to explain and motivate. They impressed the lessons of responsibility on their children, and the children delivered.,_,_,_,Q1. Do you know any other secrets towards academic excellence besides those
