One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who'll help you master the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation with the professor? Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count:
1 No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students stupider than you, so nothing you're gong to ask will set the record for stupidity.
2 Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor. You'll get in more questions, the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost always more productive than committee work. You friend can wait outside for the discussion.
3 If you can't make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make individual, appointments to help you out. If you're lucky enough to land such an accommodation, though, be sure you're 100 percent on time. There's nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don't care enough to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten minutes, which would make your trip a total loss.
4 If you're meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading, make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article. The professor doesn't remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work-though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way about the contents.
5 Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting. It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as: "I didn't understand what you said about [main topic of the course]"or "I couldn't understand any of your lectures last week." Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn't understand. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the most you'll have time to discuss.

Why do we dream?Scientists aren't completely sure,and they have diverse 11 (idea).Dreams might be a side effect of memory making.When you sleep,your brain sorts through everything 12 happened during the day,trying to link new experiences to old memories. As it 13 (connect) things,your brain tums them into a story,and you get a dream.

A comprehensive study of 4,500 children conducted by the National Institutes of Health in 2018 shows that children who spent more than seven hours a day staring at screens showed evidence of premature thinning of their brain's cortex the outer layer that processes sensory information. "We don't know if it (1)   (cause) by the screen time. We don't know yet if it's a bad thing. It won't be until we follow them over time (2)   we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot," Dr. Gaya Dowling. "What we can say is that this is(3)   the brains look like of kids who spend a lot of time on screens. And it's not just one pattern."

The problem isn't just screens (4)   , but also the way screens tempt kids (and adults) away from something far more important: physical activity. More than 23 percent of adults and 80 percent of adolescents don't get enough physical activity, and according to a 2019 report from the World Health Organization (WHO), these patterns of activity and rest arise (5)   habits we develop early in life. "What we really need to do is (6)   (bring) back play for children," says Dr. Juana Willumsen, a WHO specialist in childhood obesity and physical activity, in a statement about new WHO guidelines issued in April 2019. "This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime, while (7)   (protect) sleep." Of course, children aren't completely to blame for their screen addiction.

Sometimes, the parents (8)   complain about the role of screens in family life are just as guilty of spending too much time in front of one. A 2016 study (9)   (conduct) by Common Sense Media found that parents spend up to nine hours a day in front of screens, mostly not for work﹣related reasons. While 78 percent of parents said they believed they were good screen time role models, the study found a disconnect between their behavior and their perception of their behavior. Parents need to limit screen time for themselves and especially for their kids(10)   it means playing the bad guy. Our mental and physical health depends on it.

In the presence of animals

A professor of public health at UCLA says that pet ownership might provide a new form of health care. As far back as the 1790s, the elderly at a senior citizens' home in England (1)

 (encourage) to spend time with farm animals. This would help patients' mental state more than the cruel therapies(2)   (use) on the mentally ill at the time. In recent years, scientists have finally begun to find proof(3)   contact with animals can increase a sick person's chance of survival and have shown (4)   (lower) heart rate, calm upset children, and get people to start a conversation.

Scientists think that animals' companionship is beneficial (5)   animals are accepting and attentive, and they don't criticize or give orders. Animals have the unique ability to be more social. For example, visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions.

Not only do people seem (6)   (anxious) when animals are nearby, but they may also live longer. Studies show that a year (7)   heart surgery, survival rates for heart patients were higher for those with pets in their homes than those without pets. Elderly people with pets make fewer trips to doctors than those without animal companions, possibly because animals relieve loneliness. Staying with animals is believed to create a peaceful state of mind,(8)   (result) in a favorable environment for everyone.

Research confirms that the findings concerning senior citizens can be applied to restless children. They are more easy﹣going when there are animals around, with (9)  company they tend to calm down more easily. They involve (10)   in playing with animals and the presence of animals conforms them greatly.

I'm not sure(1)    is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩)that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I' m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I'm face﹣to﹣face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at(2)    top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400﹣pound male appears.He screams the (3)    (loud )of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid (4)    (look)directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel (5)    (challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a (6)    (science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching(7)    these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find (8)    (they)alive.True to gorilla′s unaggressive nature, the huge animal(9)    (mean)no real harm.He was just saying: " I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder! "Once his message was delivered, he allowed me (10)    (stay)and watch.

Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese(1)    ( dish)

is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners (2)    come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap (3)    can be to eat out. I still remember (4)    (visit)a friend who'd lived here for five years and I (5)    (shock) when I learnt she hadn't cooked once in all that time.

While regularly eating out seems to (6)    (become)common for many young people in recent years, it's not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be(7)    (afford)but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even(8)    (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in (9)    (weigh)problems.

If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mums' home(10)    dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket.
