有些學(xué)生具有某些特點(diǎn)，使他們成為了好學(xué)生。這些學(xué)生自然更受教師喜愛。這樣的學(xué)生往往都具備以下幾個(gè)特點(diǎn)。

They Ask Questions. 他們會(huì)提問。

Most teachers want students to ask questions when they do not understand a concept that is being taught. It is truly the only way a teacher knows whether you really understand something. If no questions are asked， then the teacher has to assume that you understood that concept. Good students arent afraid to ask questions. Asking questions is often beneficial to the class as a whole because chances are if you have that question， there are other students who might have the same question.

大多數(shù)教師希望學(xué)生在學(xué)到不理解的概念時(shí)提問。這確實(shí)是教師了解你是否真正理解了的唯一方法。如果沒有提出問題，那么教師就會(huì)假設(shè)你理解了這個(gè)概念。優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生不會(huì)害怕問問題。提問通常也對整個(gè)班級有益，因?yàn)槿绻阌心菢拥膯栴}，其他的學(xué)生也很可能有同樣的問題。

Theyre Hard Workers. 他們很刻苦。

The perfect student isnt necessarily the smartest student. There are plenty of students who are blessed with natural intelligence but lack the self-discipline1 to hone2 that intelligence. Teachers love students who choose to work hard no matter what their level of intelligence is. The hardest working students will ultimately be the most successful in life. Being a hard worker in school means completing assignments on time， putting your maximum effort into every assignment， asking for extra help when you need it， spending the time to study for tests and quizzes， and recognizing weaknesses and looking for ways to improve.

完美的學(xué)生不一定是最聰明的學(xué)生。有很多學(xué)生天生聰明，但缺乏自律來磨礪。教師喜歡那些無論智力水平如何都努力學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生。最努力的學(xué)生最終將是生活中最成功的。在學(xué)校做一名勤奮的學(xué)生意味著按時(shí)完成作業(yè)，盡最大努力完成每一項(xiàng)作業(yè)，在有需要的時(shí)候?qū)で箢~外幫助，花時(shí)間為考試和測驗(yàn)做準(zhǔn)備，明白自己的弱點(diǎn)并找方法改進(jìn)。

Theyre Involved. 他們參與活動(dòng)。

Being involved in extracurricular3 activities can help a student gain confidence， which can improve academic4 success. Most schools provide a lot of extracurricular activities that students can participate in. These activities provide so many learning opportunities that a traditional classroom simply cant. These activities also teach people to work together as a team to accomplish a common goal.

參與課外活動(dòng)有助于學(xué)生獲得信心，從而提高學(xué)業(yè)成績。大多數(shù)學(xué)校會(huì)提供大量學(xué)生可以參加的課外活動(dòng)。這些活動(dòng)提供了許多傳統(tǒng)的課堂根本無法提供的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)。這些活動(dòng)還教人們團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，以實(shí)現(xiàn)共同的目標(biāo)。

Theyre Motivated. 他們有上進(jìn)心。

Motivation comes from many places. The best students are the ones who are motivated to be successful. Students who are motivated want to be at school， want to learn， and want to succeed. Motivation means different things to different people. Good teachers will figure out how to motivate most students in some way， but those students who are self-motivated are far easier to reach than others.

上進(jìn)心來自很多方面。最好的學(xué)生是那些想要成功的學(xué)生。有上進(jìn)心的學(xué)生想上學(xué)，想學(xué)習(xí)，想成功。動(dòng)機(jī)對不同的人意味著不同的東西。好的教師會(huì)想出如何以某種方式激勵(lì)大多數(shù)學(xué)生，但是那些能自我激勵(lì)的學(xué)生比其他的學(xué)生更容易受到激勵(lì)。

Theyre Well Behaved. 他們表現(xiàn)良好。

Teachers will tell you that classes full of students who follow the rules and procedures have a better chance at maximizing5 their learning potential. Students who are well behaved are likely to learn more than their counterparts who become student discipline statistics.

Students who are well behaved in class are easy for teachers to deal with， even if they struggle academically6. Nobody wants to work with a student who constantly causes problems， but teachers will try to move mountains for students who are polite， respectful， and follow the rules.

教師會(huì)告訴你，那些全是遵守紀(jì)律的學(xué)生的班級有更好的機(jī)會(huì)發(fā)揮學(xué)生們的學(xué)習(xí)潛力。表現(xiàn)良好的學(xué)生比不遵守紀(jì)律的學(xué)生學(xué)得更多。

在課堂上表現(xiàn)良好的學(xué)生對教師來說很容易相處，即使是他們在學(xué)習(xí)上有困難。沒有人愿意經(jīng)常和問題學(xué)生打交道，但是教師會(huì)為那些有禮貌、恭敬、遵守紀(jì)律的學(xué)生竭盡全力。
