=New Stage of JC=

When it comes to studying, start early and start small. Begin reviewing several days out from the final exam and do only short reviews that are meant to refamiliarize you with material you haven’t seen in a while. This is the studying analogue of skimming a book before you read it, or putting primer down on a wall you are going to paint before you paint it. It takes time and a somewhat gentle touch to get your brain ready to assimilate and recall all the stuff it will need to.

As you move closer to the final, increase the length and depth of your review. Ramp yourself up into a rigorous review of material gradually but intentionally. By 3-4 days before the final, you ought to be spending significant amounts of time doing significant things each day.

The point of reviewing for a final is to see if you understand the key concepts of the course. But how do you know when you understand them? The answer is found out by doing things. If your professor textbook has not already done so for you, phrase each concept that might appear on the final exam in terms of an action verb. For example, it’s not enough in a calculus class to say “Understand the Chain Rule”. Rephrase this as “Calculate derivatives of a function using the Chain Rule”. If you can do that task repeatedly, with confidence and correctness and not a lot of effort, you’re ready.

A very important point: The evening before the exam, stop studying. You’re not going to add much to your knowledge that you haven’t done already (assuming you’ve followed my advice above). Also, just like an athlete preparing for a game needs to stop practicing at some point in order to be mentally prepared and relaxed, you need to give your brain a break so that when you hit the exam, you’ll be fresh.

The night before the exam, get a good night’s sleep, and eat a good breakfast the morning of the exam. Your brain is part of your body. If your body is strung out from lack of sleep and from having no food (or bad food), then your brain will suffer.

Finally, set up multiple redundant alarm systems so that you will be sure to wake up on time for the exam. How many times have I seen students oversleep and miss part or all of an exam? This is totally unnecessary. You probably already have an alarm clock; let that be your primary alarm system. Then, find a secondary alarm that is not part of the same infrastructural system as the primary. For example, if your primary alarm plugs into the wall, get a secondary one that doesn’t. A very good choice for a secondary alarm is your cell phone; figure out how to use the alarm or wakeup call feature of your cell phone and make sure you charge it up the night before the exam. Set the secondary alarm for 5-10 minutes past the primary. Then, set up a tertiary alarm system that is independent of both the primary and secondary. For example, you could ask your mom or dad to give you a call 30 minutes after your primary alarm is set to go off. Or, you could find an alarm clock program for your computer.

滄海桑田喻世事變遷很大，比喻世事多變,人生無常。

“ 滄 海 桑 田 ” ， 道 教 掌 故 之 一 。 典 出 葛 洪 《 神 仙 傳 》 。 仙 女 麻 姑 與 仙 人 王 方 平 相 見 。 她 說 ： 自 從 上 回 相 見 以 來 ， 已 經 看 到 東 海 三 次 變 為 桑 田 。 剛 剛 到 了 蓬 萊 ， 感 覺 海 水 又 比 以 往 淺 了 ， 看 起 來 只 有 以 往 的 一 半 深 了 ， 不 久 也 要 變 成 陸 地 。

“ 滄 海 桑 田 ” 的 傳 說 包 含 了 先 民 對 變 動 不 居 的 宇 宙 的 樸 素 認 識 ， 同 時 也 暗 示 了 仙 界 與 人 世 的 時 間 差 異 。 在 神 仙 家 看 來 ， 人 世 如 流 水 ， 在 不 斷 而 迅 速 地 流 轉 ； 但 是 ， 在 萬 變 之 中 有 不 變 者 存 在 ， 麻 姑 仙 女 正 是 找 到 了 不 變 的 靈 氣 ， 所 以 能 夠 長 存 ， 目 睹 滄 海 桑 田 的 交 替 。

古書「神仙傳」中記載了這樣一段有趣的故事。
有一天，有三個老人碰在一起，彼此問起年齡，誰都說自己年紀最大。
第一個老人說：「我已經記不起來究竟有多少歲了，只記得我小的時候，常和盤古一塊兒玩耍。」在中國人幻想創造世界的故事中，傳說當初天和地是混合在一起的，盤古生在天和地的中間，是他把天和地分開的。
第二個老人說：「我喜歡吃蟠桃（相傳蟠桃三千年開一次花，再過三千年才結果），每次吃完蟠桃，就把桃核兒往屋後的空地一扔，如今，桃核兒已經堆得像山一樣高了。至於我的年紀，我自己也算不清楚了。」
第三個老人說：「我每遇到滄海變成桑田的時候，就用一根竹籤記下來，現在，竹籤已經放滿十間房屋，我有多少歲，實在算不出來了。」
這是一則三個老人互相吹牛的滑稽的故事，看了會令人哈哈大笑。
後人就根據第三個老人說的「滄海變成桑田」，引申出「滄海桑田」這四個字，用以比喻世事變化得很快，有時也簡略成「滄桑」兩個字，如果某人經歷許多困難、波折，就可以形容他「歷經滄桑」了。

We run day by day, go to school, go home, go shopping, go out with friends; sunny, rain, wind, typhoon, whatever the weather, he always keeps silent and waiting me outside the street. He become my part of my life.

 

In recently, I was making trouble of him, I began too "drive" fast, he run at full speed all of the time,and pass cars and cars on the road, and I felt very exciting, but some problem was happened but I didn't pay any attention,on last week I awared of my friend can't run at full speed~!!!

 

I am so sorry of him, I made him become older and older, so sorry, so sorry of him, SORRY!
