A young man went to a gemologist (寶石學(xué)家) and said he wanted to be one like him.

The gemologist didn’t want to teach the young man because he thought the young man have no patience (耐心). The young man asked for a chance. Finally the expert had to agree.

The next morning, the gemologist put a jade (玉) stone in the young man’s hand and told him, “Hold it!” The expert then went about his work: cutting, weighing, and making. The big boy felt a bit strange (奇怪的), but he said nothing. He just sat quietly and waited.

The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the young man’s hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth, and fifth day the young man did the same job.

A month went by, and the young man felt more and more boring because of holding the same stone.

One morning, the gemologist came and asked him to hold out his hand, he couldn’t go on any longer. But just as the gemologist put the stone in his hand, he said loudly,“This is not the same jade stone!”

“You have begun to learn,” said the gemologist with a smile.

任務(wù)型閱讀。

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

Taking good notes can help you do well in your schoolwork. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes. Here is some advice.

Write down the key points. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, you can copy(抄寫) them down. If not , write down the most important points. Different teachers give lessons in different styles. For example, some teachers may say lots of dates and facts in class, but only write the key ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or a certain piece of information several times.

Don’t overdo(做得過度)it. You’ll go crazy if you try to write down every word in class. And if you are sure to get all the notes right , you might miss the important points. Some students learn better by listening , writing down the key points, and then reviewing(復(fù)習(xí))the notes after class.

Raise your hand to ask. Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to say something again. If the teacher is going too fast and you can’t catch what he says, just raise your hand and ask him. And your classmates will also be willing to hear the information again. If you feel shy about asking in class, you can ask your teacher after class.

Note taking gives your mind a chance to absorb(吸收)what you need to learn. It can help you not only do better in tests, but also develop good study habits.
