We investigate the effects of the next-nearest-neighbor (t^\ensuremath') and the third-nearest-neighbor (t^\ensuremath'\ensuremath') hopping terms on superconductivity correlation in the 2D hole-doped extended t\ensuremath-J model based on the variational Monte Carlo, mean-field calculation and exact diagonalization method. Despite the diversity of the methods employed, the results all point to a consistent conclusion: While the d-wave superconductivity correlation is slightly suppressed by t^\ensuremath' and t^\ensuremath'\ensuremath' in underdoped regions, it is greatly enhanced in the optimal and overdoped regions. The optimal Tc is a result of the balance of these two opposite trends.
