How Can You Become a Successful Learner？
Everyone is born with the ability to learn． But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits． Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common．
Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something， your brain（脑）is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time． Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting． For example， if they need to learn English and they like music or sports， they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English． This way they will not get bored．
Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more． Remember， "Use it or lose it．" Even if you learn something well， you will forget it unless（除非）you use it． " Practice makes perfect．" Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned， and they are not afraid of making mistakes． Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight． He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes．
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard． Good learners know the best way they can study． For example， they may take notes by writing down key words． They also look for ways to go over what they have learned． They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student．
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class．They even ask each other and try to find out the answers． Knowledge comes from questioning．
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new． Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you， so learn wisely and learn well．

Habits in Russia
There is an old saying that says when in Rome， do as the Romans do． I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia as a visiting scholar（学者）．
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow． My guests and I were excited about our meeting． We had a lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud． We lowered（降低）our voices．（38） The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message．
How bad an impression（印象）we must have left on the local people! In China，it's natural and important for a host（主人）to make a lively atmosphere（气氛）． However， in Russia and Western countries， having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low． You need to be polite to others．
I felt bad about this．（39）
（40） My Russian friend Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home． I asked him why he did this． "Aha，" Andrey said， "In Russia， people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home．（41） "
Finding the differences between cultures is so much fun． I like to keep my eyes and mind open．
| A． |
But this didn't last long． |
| B． |
Russians have their own special habits， too． |
| C． |
Russian people are usually careful and polite． |
| D． |

This morning I got an email from Roy． It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University．
The email made me think of the first day when we moved into this house．
Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys， books and clothes． Suddenly his little hand knocked over a bottle of paint on the shelf． The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess． "Oh，my God!" My wife rushed in angrily． I looked at my son， and his small face was filled with fear．
I smiled and held his hand， "Take it easy，Roy．Now let's do something to make it look nice．" I took out a brush．" You see， Dad is a magician． I can change it into a big tree．"
His mother soon joined us and helped paint some flowers on the wall．
We spent the whole afternoon painting and laughing． The wall became a beautiful forest with plants， birds and small animals． Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy． On that day， everyone in the house knew something special happened．
The night before Roy left for Harvard， he asked me if I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint． "Since then I've never worried about making mistakes，" he continued， "I believe I can always find out ways to solve the problems．"
That's for sure． Mistakes are unavoidable． Making mistakes is part of life． When we make a mistake， what we shouldn't do is to run away from it． The mistake can be valuable if we can make full use of it． In fact， our attitudes （态度） towards them may make a difference．

Thanks to better health care， most people are living healthier and longer lives． Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty﹣five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century． It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays． Here are some rules for a health life．
Get off the sofa!
Sure， it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV． But doctors say you should get off the sofa． To keep fit， you have to walk at least 10000steps every day． In the past， people's jobs required more physical effort． They often had to walk for miles every day． When farmers were working in the fields， they were keeping fit at the same time． Think about it： Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past？
Eat healthy food!
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural， for example， fruit and vegetables． Fast food is not healthy． You should only have itonce in a while． Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health．
Rest while you can!
When we were babies， we slept for much of the night． Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies， but it is important for you to get about eight hours' sleep a night． At weekends， you have got more time， so use it not just for your friends， but for rest too．
