Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a top student. In fact, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well, you may improve your study without much work. Here's how:

Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time, you should make a list of things that you have to do. First write down the time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good time for studying. Of course, studying shouldn't take all of your time. Don't forget to leave yourself enough time for hobbies.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which maybe a desk or just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television!

When you sit down to work, think only about the subject! Make good use of your time in class. Listen carefully to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. You also need to take notes in class, because it can make it easier for you to learn well.

There are only a few ways mentioned here to help you with your study. I believe you will find some other ways besides these.

（1） ________, everyone can become a better student.

A.Find a good place to study B.Use the time well
C.Listen carefully in class D.Without much work

（2）"A good study place" means ________.

A.there are no games, radio or television in it

B.there is something helpful in it

16. 阅读短文，回答下列问题。

Life is full of the unexpected. On a cold winter afternoon, a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car and clearly she needed help. So he stopped and got off his old truck. "Is he going to hurt me? He doesn't look like a good person," the old lady was worried.

The man could see that she was afraid, so he said in his friendliest voice, "I'm here to help you, madam. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Ted Johnson." Ted quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.

But Ted wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. It was normal for him to do such a thing like that. He said, "If you really want to repay（报答）me, next time you see someone in need, think of me and help them."

After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small restaurant where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant（怀孕）. The waitress looked tired and weak, but she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $10 bill, she remembered Ted's words.

After the lady was gone, the waitress saw a small note on the table. It said, "Somebody once helped me the way I'm helping you. Continue being kind to other people." Under the note were five hundred dollars.

The waitress was excited that she called her husband to tell him the news, "Ted... Ted Johnson, my dear... you're not going to believe what just happened."
