研究：廢寢忘食并不能有效提高成績(jī)

Children aged 11 to 18 took part in the year-long research, which was carried out during 2014 and 2015 in conjunction with four UK independent and state schools in the Wellington College Teaching Schools Alliance.
11歲至18歲的孩子參加了這項(xiàng)時(shí)長(zhǎng)為一年的研究，在2014~2015年期間與惠靈頓學(xué)院教學(xué)學(xué)校聯(lián)盟的四所英國(guó)獨(dú)立學(xué)校和公立學(xué)校聯(lián)合開(kāi)展的。

Carl Hendrick, head of research at Wellington College, said it was "good news" for students who think need to "kill themselves" in order to achieve good grades.
惠靈頓學(xué)院的研究負(fù)責(zé)人卡爾·亨德里克說(shuō)，這對(duì)那些認(rèn)為好成績(jī)需要“頭懸梁，錐刺股”的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，是個(gè)好消息。

The study also found for the first time a link between high-achieving students and helpfulness.
這項(xiàng)研究還首次發(fā)現(xiàn)成績(jī)好的學(xué)生和樂(lè)于助人之間的聯(lián)系。

The research revealed that those pupils who see themselves as having potential rather than having fixed abilities are more inclined to help their peers.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些認(rèn)為自己有更多潛力可發(fā)掘的孩子更愿意幫助同伴。

Having a growth mindset, which children can also be taught, appears to have more impact on the others around them than previously realised, the research team said.
研究小組說(shuō)，擁有成長(zhǎng)心態(tài)對(duì)周?chē)说挠绊懕戎八母?，而學(xué)生們也可以通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)來(lái)獲得這種心態(tài)。

The academics said: "A teenager who thinks in this way is more likely to be helpful and care more deeply about others. This may be because they think 'if I feel I can develop, I feel others can', which makes them more understanding and sympathetic."
專(zhuān)業(yè)學(xué)者說(shuō)：“有這種思考方式的青少年更可能提供幫助，更深切關(guān)心他人。也許這是因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為“如果我覺(jué)得我可以進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的話，其他人也能”，這讓他們更加能理解他人并富有同情心。
