Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before
reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often
needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to
one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their
understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor
understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills.
They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to
monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their
understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little
evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems.
Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent
effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized.
Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often
have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing
work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful
manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why
good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective
study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact the
U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being
homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate and the
ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent
every year.
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today,
however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due
to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size,
as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in
many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore,
deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some
parents to remove their children from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has
become a multi-million dollar industry and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of
websites, support groups and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them
to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for trouble
children homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many
believe is failing.

In today’s fast-paced industry, learning will most likely involve seeking new skills in ways that
challenge the norm. But thankfully, there is promise for such lifelong learning online–a promise that
will save you time and money while helping you earn more of both.
Provided you have access to a decent computer and the Internet, the barrier to getting started is
probably lower than it ever has been. And with those things in place, it is a matter of finding the
content you wish to learn. So, to help others who may be looking to maximize their own learning
efforts, I have listed some quick tips below.
First, set achievable goals. When you start learning, it is a good idea to set goals about what you
want to learn or what you might do with your newly acquired knowledge. It might be landing that
new job, building a tangible product, or impressing your current management. The goals may vary
in size and complexity, but do revisit these goals throughout your learning process. Within a
couple weeks ask yourself, “Am I getting closer to my goal?” or “Am I learning the skills necessary
to reach my goals?” If you are not, then you may need to look elsewhere.
Second, learn with others. By yourself, learning anything has a high propensity to become
frustrating. Try teaming up with friends or colleagues. They can often be your best resource for
maintaining motivation while you learn.
Third, make it a habit. Online habits often include scrolling through social media or watching
videos on Youtube. If you have the downtime for such activities, then you could spend that
downtime learning something. And why not learn something? If you do, then you will have plenty
more to talk about on social media anyways. So, make learning your new online habit by making a
commitment to learn something new each day.

24. What does the word “both” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Time and money

B. Lifelong and online learning

25. According to the passage, what are the basic condition for online learning?

A. A smartphone and a 4-G sim card

B. A computer and the Internet

C. A goal and learning efforts

D. A content and the wish to learn

26. According to the passage, what is the first step of learning online?

A.Buying a computer and having it checked every two weeks.

B.Landing a new job and building a tangible product.

C.Setting practical goals and checking them regularly.

D.Varying your goals in size as well as complexity.

27. What is the word “commitment” in the last paragraph closest in meaning to?

Reading the news these days is often a depressing and anxiety inducing task. Mass shooting, pipe
bombs, assassinations, and – over it all – climate change haunt the discussion. The sources of
these modern human malignancies are generally the same: male leaders who want to maintain
economic, political, and religious power no matter the cost.
Cognitive scientists know that the female brain is different from the male. Women are less likely to
commit mass murder, less inclined to start a war, more likely to be in touch with and express their
emotions, and more interested in nuance, rather than decisiveness.
History shows that Egyptians knew than women ruled differently from men. And so they used
them to protect the patriarchy, to act as stopgaps, placeholders, until the next man could fill the
top spot on the social pyramid. But no matter how much power they held, even though many of
them were called nothing less than King, these formidable women of ancient Egypt were not able
to transcend the patriarchal agenda and change the system itself. When their reigns ended, the
masculine Egyptian power structure remained intact.
These queens call out from the past, challenging us to place women into political power, not as
representatives of a patriarchal dynasty, but as women who serve their own, different agendas of
social connection and emotional cohesion, instead of aping the aggression of the fathers,
brothers, and sons.
