25、How to Be a Better Student

Maybe you are a common 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:

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 set 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.

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.

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 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 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 over worried.

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

26、Many of us have a certain pose for photos, but have you ever noticed which side you naturally turn?

According to US science writer Sam Kean, people tend to turn to the right and show the left side of their faces.

That might be because the left side of our faces looks better than our right side. This may have something to do with our brain. The right side of the brain, which controls the left side of the body, deals more with emotions. So the left half of faces are often more expressive(富有表现力的), The Atlantic reported.

During studies, it is found that more than 60 percent of famous paintings since the 14th century showed people’s left side of the face.

But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.

Yet this doesn’t mean the left side phenomenon(现象) is wrong. As Professor Marco Bertamini from Liverpool University explained, self-portraits are usually painted through a mirror. For example, if an artist shows his left side to a mirror, and draws what he can see, the final picture on the paper would show the head facing to the right.

The front-facing camera on smart phones works the same way as a mirror. When people take selfies(自拍照) using a front-facing camera, most of them take a photo with their head facing to the right.

“Our results show that a preference(偏爱) for self-portraits showing one’s left side, even if this appears as a right face in the mirror-reversed(反转的)display,”Bertamini told The Guardian.

Next time, when you take a photo, remember to show your better side to the camera.

【1】Why do people like to show the left side of their faces for photos?

A. It’s much easier for us to make a pose.   B. It makes people look more natural on photos.

C. The left side of our faces looks better.   D. The left side of our faces look friendlier.

【2】From Paragraph 3, we learn that __________.

A. the right side of the brain controls the right side of our faces

B. the right side of the brain deals with our emotions

C. the right side of our faces looks more expressive

D. our brain decides whether we look good or not

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Artists usually draw themselves from the left.

B. There is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.

C. The front-facing camera on smart phones doesn’t take good photos.

D. Bertamini tells people how to take better selfies.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Where to take good photos.   B. How the left side of the brain works.

C. How to draw yourself better.   D. Why we show off the left side of our faces in photos.
