24、Maybe you are an average (普通的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a good student if he or she wants to. Here’s how you can be a good student.
Plan your time carefully. When planning 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. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing... Then decide a good, regular (有规律的) time for studying. Don’t forget to set enough time for entertainment. A weekly plan may not work out all your problems, but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No game, radio, or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on (专注) your subjects.
Make good use of your time. Listen to everything the teacher says. Listening carefully 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 has 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 to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be worried.

25、 Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person for long.
① But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier.②Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy.③It could be buying a present for a friend or a family member.④It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel?

27、A young man went to the boss of a logging crew(伐木队) and asked for a job.

The young man stepped forward and skillfully felled a big tree.
