If altitude is your problem, you may not be properly trimmed. If you are properly trimmed on downwind, reducing the power will let the plane come down pretty much hands free and it will stay at the same airspeed. This carries over all the way around to the landing. You should never have to add power if done properly. Take a look at what is right below you on short final to guage some sort of depth perception (for lack of a better phrase). Runway widths can really wreak havoc with your mind. If you are used to landing on a 75ft runway, a 200ft runway tends to make you want to flare really high.
