下面的十條技巧將會(huì)幫助你在整個(gè)學(xué)期都始終保持這種熱情：

    1. Get your books early 

    One of the most hectictimes of each college school year is that crazy few days in the college bookstore before the semester starts. Who needs it. Get your books early. If your professors haven't posted them online, call the bookstore and see if they have a list. If still no luck, give your professor a polite e-mail stating you'd like to get your books early so you can prepare for the class. Ask which books you need to buy.

    1.準(zhǔn)備好你的課本

    每學(xué)期開學(xué)之初都是學(xué)校書店最繁忙的時(shí)候。避開這個(gè)高峰期，我們只需早早地準(zhǔn)備好自己的課本。如果你的教授還沒有通知你這學(xué)期所需的課本，可以詢問下書店，看他們是否有你需要的課本清單。如果沒有，那么禮貌地發(fā)一封Email給你的教授詢問你需要為新學(xué)期購買那些課本。

    2. Skim and review before class starts 

    Review is one of your best weapons against challenging exams. Since you have your books early, spend a few hours skimming and reviewing each one. Familiarize yourself with the table of contents, summaries, bolded text and sidebars. Get the edge.

    2.課前溫習(xí)

    預(yù)習(xí)、復(fù)習(xí)是應(yīng)對(duì)考試的最佳武器。當(dāng)你提前拿到新學(xué)期的課本后，花幾個(gè)小時(shí)瀏覽閱讀一下他們。熟悉其中的表格、摘要、黑體字及邊欄提示。爭(zhēng)取先行的優(yōu)勢(shì)。

    3. Do not change your diet 

    Eating more or less can change your concentration, energy level and ability to stay alert. Presuming you are satisfied with your current mental chemistry, avoid changing your diet. 

    P.S. Studies show 75% of college freshmen put on 7lbs their first semester – keep lean and mean.

    3.不要改變飲食習(xí)慣

    食量的增加或減少都會(huì)影響你注意力的集中、身體能量供應(yīng)及應(yīng)變能力。請(qǐng)放心地保持你的飲食習(xí)慣，不要改變他們。

    注：研究表明75%的大一新生在他們的第一學(xué)期一般會(huì)增重7英磅。

    4. Decide your main goal 

    Do you want straight A's, B's？Before you can get anywhere you have to know where you are going beforehand. Choose before the semester starts what grades you want and write it down. By putting it in writing, you are setting an agreement with yourself - after that, all you need to do is not break that agreement. 

    4.確定你的目標(biāo)

    你是想獲得A呢，還是B？行動(dòng)之前明確目標(biāo)會(huì)達(dá)到事半功倍的效果。在開學(xué)之初就確定并寫下本學(xué)期你要達(dá)到哪個(gè)等級(jí)。寫下來是為了給自己定下一個(gè)承諾，接下來要做的就是履行這個(gè)承諾。

    5. Decide why you want to make A's in your classes 

    Why do you want to be a good student? Write up a list of reasons and then hang them in a prominent location in your living quarters. When the going gets tough and you don't feel like studying or going to class, review this list. Add to it if you can. Reasons are what keep enthusiasm high.

    5.明確你為什么要獲得Ａ

    你為什么想要成為一個(gè)好學(xué)生？列出原因并粘貼在你寢室的顯眼位置。當(dāng)你遇到困難、厭倦學(xué)習(xí)以及要去上課時(shí)，重新審視一下這個(gè)列表。這會(huì)使你能夠始終保持學(xué)習(xí)的熱情。

    6. Keep your exercise program going

    Hopefully, since you are reading this blog, you have adopted an exercise program. Going to class is no excuse to stop. Stick with it for increased self-esteem, concentration and enthusiasm for learning.

    6.堅(jiān)持體育鍛煉

    希望你在看過這篇文章后能夠?yàn)樽约涸O(shè)定一個(gè)體育鍛煉的計(jì)劃。上課不是你停止體育鍛煉的借口。堅(jiān)持體育鍛煉可以增強(qiáng)你的自信、注意力的集中及保持學(xué)習(xí)熱情。

    7. Sit in the front row 

    Studies have shown sitting in the front row is an easy way to improve your grades. Why? You hear better, you have more interaction with the professors and there is no possible way to doze if you are in the front row. So choose the front row and win.

    7.坐在前排

    研究表明坐在前排是獲得學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步最佳捷徑。為什么呢？坐在前排聽課會(huì)十分清楚，可以使你將注意力集中在教授那里，而且坐前排還能克制自己不去打瞌睡。所以，坐在前排迎接你學(xué)習(xí)的勝利吧！

    8. Reward yourself after small accomplishments

    When you get an assignment or test deadline, right then and there, decide on a reward for completing it successfully. I am not saying you have to get an A. Instead a small reward for simply getting through. Some ideas: A new video game, a toy, tee shirt, DVD. Pick something just for you and do not buy it until you finish your assignment. The fun reward will carry you through to the finish line.

    8.獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)自己

    當(dāng)你成功完成一項(xiàng)任務(wù)或測(cè)驗(yàn)順利時(shí)就犒賞一下自己。不是說你必須得到Ａ后才能獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)自己，即使是前進(jìn)中的一小步勝利也可以獎(jiǎng)賞自己。這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)不要在還未完成任務(wù)前就買回來，一個(gè)有吸引力的獎(jiǎng)品會(huì)不斷激勵(lì)你去完成任務(wù)達(dá)到目標(biāo)。

    9. Make a habit of studying at the same time every day 

    Humans function better at different times. When do you study the best? Early morning, afternoon or evening? Work on finding that out and then make a pact that you'll study at that time every day. This works because 1 you'll be in your zone naturally and you will be developing a habit of high quality study at that time of day.

    9.形成自己的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣

    每個(gè)人的各種機(jī)能在不同的時(shí)間體現(xiàn)出不同的效能。哪個(gè)時(shí)間段學(xué)習(xí)更好些？早上，中午還是晚上？找出適合自己學(xué)習(xí)的最佳時(shí)間，然后每天堅(jiān)持在這個(gè)時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)。這有利于你形成適合自己的高效的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，并將自己的潛能得到最好的發(fā)揮。

    10. Get enough sleep 

    Staying up late at night watching TV, goofing off or drinking might be fun at the time, but leads to excessive tiredness during classes. It's tough to be enthusiastic if you are dead tired. So pick a time your fun and serious side can agree on, then stick to it. Set a reminder on your cellphone or computer if you need to. Just get some sleep you look tired.

    10.充足的睡眠

    熬夜看電視或者酗酒這只能得一時(shí)之快，它們帶來的只會(huì)是無盡的疲勞與困倦。如果過度疲勞的話，你將很難保持學(xué)習(xí)的熱情。所以挑個(gè)時(shí)間放松休閑一下而不可以過度的放松，如果有必要就用電腦或手機(jī)設(shè)置一個(gè)提醒給自己。如果感覺累了最好就去休息。
