21、 a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for th
22、e positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible. Over-achieversstudents who do better than their test scores showusually hav
23、e a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate(补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful. Under-achieversthose who function belo
24、w their ability shown by test scoresoften tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn le
25、ss than over-achievers. If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance , but have an attitude t
26、hat keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning. 36 What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teache

Water,
31、warmth, and food are all needed for bacteria to become strong and healthy. Some kinds bacteria need air, but other kinds grow only when air is absent. Extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, can kill bacteria. Before electric ice-boxes were invented, freezing and cooling were limited by the col
32、d climate. In warmer regions, food was cooled by putting it in the shade, in cold water from the well, or in pits(坑)in the ground. Cooking will usually kill bacteria if the temperature is high enough and the high temperature lasts long enough. Certain methods of cooking remove water, and this aids i
33、n preserving food. Drying is the oldest and most common method of preserving food. Food can be dried by the sun, by heat or by combination of the two. Salt was used by many hunting people.

39、ike bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting and more expensive things in order to find what you need.

40、 to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves.
