515 – The Importance of Curiosity 2 好奇心有多重要2

2.Curiosity is Key 好奇心是关键

When itcomes to studying, two outcomes are essential:

说到学习，有两个结果是至关重要的:

A. that youremember what you’ve learned

A: 记住你学过的东西

B. that youcan derive some sort of meaning from it.

B: 你可以从中得出某种意义。

B actuallyhelps with A in my opinion. Whether its chemistry or art history, try to findsomething in the material that interests you and focus in on it. Go in tooffice hours and talk with your teacher about it, go pick up supplementalbooks, or go watch videos about the subject online.

在我看来，B实际上对A有帮助。无论是化学还是艺术史，试着在材料中找到你感兴趣的东西并专注于它。在办公时间和你的老师谈谈这个问题，去找一些补充的书，或者在网上看一些关于这个主题的视频。

3.Consistency 一贯性

Every dayyou need to make progress towards your academic goals. This doesn’t mean tatyou necessarily need to spend hours in front of flash cards (though that iswhat works for some students), but you can not put things off until the lastminute.

每天你都需要朝着你的学业目标前进。这并不意味着你必须花几个小时在记忆卡前(虽然这对一些学生是有效的)，但你不能把事情拖到最后一分钟。

There wasrarely a time in all of high school that I would “cram” for an exam. I wouldusually start 2–3 weeks before a large exam with making flashcards, studyguides, etc. and so by the time the test arrived I was relaxed and competent.

在整个高中时期，我很少为了考试而突击。我通常会在大型考试前2-3周开始制作记忆卡、学习指南等，所以当考试到来的时候，我已经很放松、很有能力了。

4.Make it Social

If it wasbetween going out with friends and studying the weekend before a test…I wouldchoose both. However, this wouldn’t look like me hopping from one activity tothe next. Rather, I found it helpful to get my friends together for study dateswhere we could quiz one another while still getting some social time in.

如果让我在和朋友出去玩和考试前的周末学习之间选择，我两者都会选。然而，这看起来不像是我从一个活动跳到另一个活动。相反，我发现让我的朋友们聚在一起学习很有帮助，我们可以互相测试，同时还能有一些社交时间。

While manyblogs try to sugar coat it, you often do have to make sacrifices about how youwant to spend your time. Don’t hole up in your room every day, but be mindfulof who you spend your time around and how their goals align with yours.

当许多博客试图粉饰它的时候，你经常不得不在你想要如何支配你的时间上做出牺牲。不要每天都把自己关在房间里，但要留意身边的人，以及他们的目标与你的目标是如何一致的。

Hopefullythis helps, and best of luck with your studies!

希望这对你有所帮助，祝你学习顺利!
