"Choose your friends wisely" may not only be good parental advice but also a way to do better in college，a research study finds.Researchers prove that students who befriend studious （好學(xué)的）peers spend more hours studying themselves and post higher grades during their freshman （大學(xué)一年級新生）year.
It's important to clarify that having smart friends isn't as important as having studious friends in this study.The researchers didn't find that friends9 grades mattered.What influenced a student's college grades were his or her friends9 high school study habits.To be sure，students with higher grades tend to have better study habits.
They also found that，for every additional 10 hours a week that a student's friends had spent studying in high school，on average，the student's own study time in college would likely increase by almost 25 minutes a day，and the student's own GPA （Grade Point Average） would likely rise by almost a tenth of a point during freshman year.Almost identical results are among freshman roommates randomly assigned by the college，which confirms that peers are actually influencing study habits and echoing the friendship analysis.The researchers controlled for gender，race and prior academic achievement and found that the positive influence of studious peers was similar for both high achieving and low achieving students.
The difference between a B and B+ average is 0.3 points，so studious friends are only nudging grades up a bit.That means peers are just one of many factors influencing how well students do in college.So should we encourage parents to pick their kids' friends in college？ " This is one outcome-GPA.There are other things in life." said Mehta who admits to selecting studious friends when he was in college.

1．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
