【编者按】 在学中练，在练中学，也许是提高学习效率的有效途径。为此，我们从2007年各地中考试题中着意选编了一组寓练于学习方法之中的试题。我们希望通过对这组试题的阅读与练习，能够使同学们既学习了良好的学习方法，又巩固了所学英语知识，同时又进行了中考“热身”。一石三鸟，何乐而不为之？！

Try to Teach Yourself

Students learn their lessons in class. They sit in the classroom    1    their teachers. This is a way of learning. Is this the only way for students to learn? Of course not. There is    2    way to learn. That is, students can teach    3   . For example,    4    you cannot remember something when you are doing your homework, what will you do? You can look at your book to    5    the answer.

How to teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are   6    . The second is that you must ask yourself questions. A clever student is usually    7     at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by    8     hard, by reading books, and sometimes by asking other people. These are the ways of teaching yourself. If you    9     like these for a long time, you are sure to have great   10    in your study.
