Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 23 Good Living Habits Make Good Studying Habits (1)
Reading needs an environment like listening to a concert in Vienna

"Tao Tao, tidy up your study?" Mom said.

"It's okay, anyway, it won't delay my study." Taotao retorted.

"You see that the books on your desk are in a mess. The composition collection and exercise collection are all mixed up. It's not convenient for you to find the books. Isn't this a waste of time? Time is efficiency and grades!" Mom said.

"Okay, got it, don't talk about it."

"Although your mother's tone is not good, it still makes sense. Did you watch the Vienna New Year's Concert broadcast on TV yesterday? The golden hall was full of seats, and everyone was neatly dressed and in order from beginning to end. Especially At the end of the performance, all the audience applauded rhythmically with the music played by the conductor and the band, pushing the atmosphere of the concert to a climax. Only in this atmosphere can people be intoxicated and enjoy the beauty of music. Think about us again When I was listening to a concert in Beijing last summer vacation, many spectators sat in the venue listening to the performance while eating melon seeds, eating snacks, and even pretending to be no one else. Do you remember the mood at that time? It was terrible, even though I tried hard to listen , but did not leave more memorable things. In fact, studying is the same as listening to a concert, and you need to create a good reading atmosphere for yourself.”

As Taotao said, improving reading efficiency requires a good reading atmosphere.A good atmosphere needs a good environment to create, and a good environment can help improve reading efficiency and promote learning progress, so we must develop the habit of creating a good atmosphere for reading.

Many students don't like to tidy up their rooms, and place things randomly. A messy environment can easily make them feel bad, disturb their mood and interest in reading, and affect the improvement of their academic performance.Therefore, it is very important to create a good reading atmosphere.So, how can we create such an atmosphere?To start from the following points:

1. The study should be kept tidy

As the surrounding environment changes, people's moods and attitudes will also be different. When the surroundings are cluttered, people's hearts will be chaotic and scattered.Concentration is easy in an organized environment.Therefore, the environment is very important to learning.

The most basic environment for us to study is our own study room, because the class environment is created by the students together, and the study room is a private space created by ourselves.So, from now on, try to clean up your room and develop the good habit of keeping things in order.

2. No clutter on the desk
The big environment of the study is very important, and the small environment of the desk is equally important.To create a good desk environment, the most important thing is not to place other sundries on the desk.

There are no other clutter on the desk, and you will get a message: you can't do other things, and now it's time to read and study.If you want to study, you should be serious, otherwise just play.If you are already sitting at the desk and you are still thinking about other things, of course you cannot read a good book.When sitting at the desk, you must be mentally prepared to learn, train yourself like this every day, and over time, you will be able to concentrate on learning.People are inertial animals. If you can concentrate on studying like this every day, your subconscious will tell yourself that you should concentrate and not be distracted by doing other things. It will become a habit after a long time.In this way, as long as you sit down at the desk, you will start to study seriously, and you will not do other things that have nothing to do with study.

3. Good lighting conditions
When studying during the day, there is generally no problem with the indoor lighting. At night, the efficiency of learning has a lot to do with the quality of the lighting conditions.If the light is insufficient, the eyes will soon feel tired, and when the eyes feel tired, drowsiness will strike, or the whole body will feel tired, and the energy of studying will be lost.In the study room, with a light bulb of about 60 watts directly shining on the desk, and the light bulb is about 50 cm away from the desk, the brightness produced by this is the most suitable.After the brightness is sufficient, you should also pay attention to the light source not being too dazzling, otherwise the eyes are also prone to fatigue. It is best to have a lampshade so that the light will not be too dazzling.Another point is that the light is only concentrated on a certain part of the table, and the other places are dimmed. After raising the eyes to look around, the eyeballs themselves have to constantly adjust, and it is easy to make the eyes tired.In order to prevent this disadvantage, it is necessary to try to spread the area illuminated by the light source as much as possible, or to set the electric light in two places on the ceiling and on the table.Compared with ordinary electric lamps and fluorescent lamps, in terms of various effects, the lighting conditions of fluorescent lamps are more suitable for learning than electric lamps.As long as the light is not allowed to hit the eyes directly, the fluorescent lamp can be said to be the most ideal lighting device for learning.

4. Maintain a suitable temperature and humidity for studying
According to the research of experts, the best temperature to keep the mind refreshed and study the highest efficiency is 18°C ​​(including indoor and outdoor), and there must be a certain humidity, which can make people feel refreshed.For example, the temperature is 21°C and the humidity is 40%, which is suitable for learning; if the temperature is also 21°C and the humidity is as high as 70%, it will make people feel stuffy and not ideal for learning.

To keep a clear mind, it is not enough to just have the right temperature and humidity. You also have to look at the air flow in the room and how much radiant heat the surroundings give the room.That is to say, there must be a constant flow of air in the study, otherwise, if you study in an airtight room for a long time, your head will easily become dizzy.Especially in summer, when strong sunlight reflects from the opposite roof or ground to the study room, it is easy to make people feel restless, so be sure to cover the sun's radiant heat with curtains, bamboo curtains or tree shades.

Summer is the season with high temperature and high humidity, and it is the most unsuitable time for studying, so you should try to keep the room well ventilated, or stop studying during the hot day, and try to study as soon as possible in the cool time of early morning or evening. That's the best way.

Paul Vigales: Eating right can help improve grades
One day, Mumu and Taotao lay down on the ground to read the newspaper of the day, and found a piece of news in the "Life" column:

According to a report from a website in the United States, a new study published in the "Journal of School Health" pointed out that children with healthy eating habits perform better in school and have higher grades.

The study was led by Paul Vigales, MD, University of Alberta.He and colleagues surveyed 5000 Canadian fifth graders and their parents.This research is part of the Children's Lifestyle and School Performance Research Project.The researchers recorded the children's diet and height and weight, and used the international diet quality index system to evaluate the children's overall diet quality. The higher the index, the higher the diet quality.Among them, unhealthy factors include saturated fatty acids and salt; while healthy foods are divided into various fruits and vegetables, grains, dietary fiber, protein, calcium, and moderate fat intake.The researchers also administered standardized literacy tests to the children and analyzed the relationship between eating habits and learning ability.It was found that when children's diets were high in fruit and vegetables and low in fat, they were significantly less likely to fail the literacy test.Children with the lowest dietary index were 5 percent less likely to fail to meet targets than children with the highest index.

In addition to socioeconomic factors, diet quality played a significant role in student achievement, the researchers said.The research results also provide a theoretical basis for the student nutritional meal project to improve the quality of students' diet.

After reading it, Taotao said: "It turns out that there is such a mystery of high scores hidden in diet." Mumu was also amazed.

Actually this is not difficult to understand.Only by eating a reasonable diet can we maintain our health and ensure the smooth progress of our studies. Therefore, we must develop a good habit of eating a reasonable diet.

Health experts believe that unbalanced meals and unreasonable eating habits are the main reasons for the poor nutritional status of students.The unreasonable eating habits of primary and middle school students have brought negative effects on their health and seriously affected their academic performance.

每年的5月20日是全国学生营养日。一项营养调查表明，我国7～18岁男女学生营养不良的患病率分别为26.87%和38.27%，11～14岁的青少年平均身高比日本同龄人矮2～3厘米。

In addition, according to the research of relevant experts, for a reasonable nutritional diet for middle school students, the appropriate amount of food intake should be: 400-500 grams of staple food (rice, noodles, miscellaneous grains), 50-75 grams of meat, and 1 egg. ~2 pieces, 50-100 grams of soy products, 400-500 grams of fresh vegetables, 10 grams of vegetable oil, and 4-8 grams of table salt.

Many elementary and middle school students have a soft spot for Western-style fast food. In their eyes, fried chicken, French fries and hamburgers are irreplaceable.Their eating habits have been completely westernized, and their body shape has also been westernized. The high-calorie food of Western-style fast food has created many chubby people.

Some primary and middle school students prefer snacks.All kinds of snacks and snacks are always an irresistible temptation for teenagers, which cannot escape the sense of smart traders.Every time after school, the "student economy" at the gate of the school prospers. The noise is accompanied by the noise of children and the sound of hawking. It is very lively, and the grocery stores and food stalls are crowded with people.Consumption of snacks has also become a habit of many students. Every time after school, they always spend a few yuan to buy this and that to satisfy their cravings.

Whether it is foreign fast food, junk food or snacks, it will cause obesity, hyperlipidemia, and high blood pressure, which is not conducive to the physical development and health of primary and middle school students.

Since a reasonable diet can ensure our health and make us energetic to study, how can we achieve a reasonable diet?
1. Diversify your diet
Our daily meals should include staple food, non-staple food, meat and vegetables, and try to be as diverse as possible.Reasonable staple food, in addition to rice, also includes flour products, such as noodles, steamed buns, buns, dumplings, wontons, etc.Nutritionists suggest that corn, millet, buckwheat, sorghum rice, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains can be mixed into the staple food. In addition to eating flour snacks for breakfast, you should also insist on drinking milk or soy milk.

2. Eat a balanced diet
