make their own choices. 8 choose their own forms of entertainment，as well as the

and approval for the choices they make.But once they“leave the 13 ” at around 18
to 21 years old，they want to be on their own，not 14 to their mothers' apron strings(围
裙带)．

Do you ever feel like you are studying a mad rush of one subject after another?
When things happen at such a 41 pace，it is easy to lose sight of what you are
learning.It is important to 42 every now and then to think about what you've been
learning.
Self reflection means stopping the mad rush and 43 yourself so your brain
can evaluate what it has already 44 ．Some people prefer to do their self reflections
45 ，while others keep a journal.Either method can work，depending on what your own
personal 46 is.
School textbooks are often divided into units.This can make it 47 for
someone to begin the process of self reflection.Watch for the times when you complete
a unit of study.Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is 48 because there is
some kind of test or quiz.Use these natural 49 as opportunities to stop and reflect.
You should find a 50 place—anywhere without noise is OK.This can even
be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something 51 and the other students are still working.If you are going to take notes ，take out your journal.Write
down some notes on things that you 52 learned in this unit.Let your mind think
about the notes you have written and make some 53 ．
Sometimes just pausing to think deeply allows your brain to make connections
54 new information can quickly appear when you 55 it again.Next，think about
things that you still wonder about. 56 maybe you learned about a certain body
system，but you don't 57 how it works with the other body systems.Maybe you
learned a new way to solve a math problem，but you're not sure when to use it.Writing
down your 58 will help you remember to continue seeking answers the next time
you 59 the same topic.
Self reflection is an essential skill for a 60 student.If you have never taken
the time to reflect，try it now.
