认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的横线上填入最恰当的单词。

注意：每空只填一个单词。

Maybe you are an average 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 is how.　　

1). Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time fro entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.　　

2). 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 from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. 　　

3). 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 your teachers say.　　

4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. 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.　　

5). 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 overly worried.　

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

How to Become a Better Student?

What makes a good teacher? Generally speaking, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 　36 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 　37 speaker, with a good, strong, 　38 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 　39 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 　40 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 　41 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 　42　 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listening to him, you will 　43 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 　44 according to what he is 　45 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 　46 that he will indeed be able to act 　47 on the stage, for there are very important 　48 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 　49 words each time he plays a certain part; 　50 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 　51 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 　52 on the stage. A good teacher 　53 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 　54 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don’t understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 　55 it as he goes along.
