Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.
★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the
blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.
★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat (重复说) what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct (纠正) some mistakes.
★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.
★Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.

I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.
But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were
talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign fri end. They say they want to practice their English. I don’t need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.
However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to desc ribe a person who doesn’t care for criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is si milar to pofuchenzhou.
I’m still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.
( )1. The writer comes from .
A. the UK
B. the USA
C. Australia
D. Canada
( )2. Many Chinese want to make friends with the writer because .
A. they are interested in Western culture
B. they want a partner to practice English with
C. they are willing to share feelings and ideas with him
D. they want to help foreigners with their Chinese
( )3. The underlined word “similarities” means “” in Chinese.
A. 相似点
B. 不同点
C. 规律性
D. 重要性
( )4. A thick-skinned person may .
A. be very strong and seldom fall ill
B. like to criticize others for their mistakes
C. talk a lot and speak fast
D. feel OK when he’s criticized
( )5. If there would be a paragraph before the last paragraph of the text, it most probably would be about .
A. the reasons why he wants to learn Chinese
B. the similarities Chinese and English share
C. the differences between Chinese and English
D. the importance of learning Chinese and English
