Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and

19、everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day

20、while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home f

21、rom school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.” Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a b

22、ook entitled Getting Straight As, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the authors message.1.
