First Impression
To help determine the __________ of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to __________ what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.

While your teen may get OK by waiting until the last possible second to complete his high school science experiment or his math project, procrastination (拖延症) can be a big problem later in life. Your teen’s future boss or college professors aren’t likely to accept late work-- or the excuses that accompany delayed projects.1.That means managing his time wisely without requiring constant reminders of assistance from you to get his work done. Here are some steps you can take to teach your teen essential time management skills:
2.If you’re always running late or you miss a lot of deadlines, your teen will follow suit. Practice managing your own time wisely and show your teen that you can accomplish the most important tasks in any given day.
Encourage your teen to write down his schedule. Your teen’s time may easily get taken up with video games or social media if he's not careful. Teach him to schedule his day so he can set aside time for chores, homework, and other responsibilities.3.Then, time doesn’t idly pass without feeling like he hasn’t done anything fun.
Help your teen prioritize( 划分优先顺序) activities.4.A basketball game and birthday party may coincide. Talk to your teen about how to prioritize activities, based on his values and commitments.
Avoid nagging (唠叨). It can be annoying to nag your teen or offer repeat reminders,5.Set rules about your expectations and follow through with consequences when necessary. Then, your teen will learn to manage his time better in the future.
A． Model good time management habits.
B． Encourage him to schedule free time as well.
C． Encourage your teen to establish healthy habit.
D． it’s common for teens to have conflicts in their schedules
E. It’s important to teach your teen how to behave responsibly.
F. As a result, many of them have to learn how to manage their time repeatedly.
G. and telling your teen to do his work over and over again reduces his responsibility.
To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.
Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular sentences are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this: “ To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).”.This saying mirrors an ideal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
1.According to the passage, which of following seems the most human?
A. To search for truth．
B. To achieve one’s ideal
C. To criticize others for one’s own error.
D. To make fun of others’ mistakes．
2.Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.
B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.
C. A company’s next move follows a good plan．
D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments．
3.What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?
A. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.
B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.
D. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.
4.What would be the best title for his passage?
A. To Blame or to Forgive B. A Mirror of Human Nature
C. A Mark of Maturity D. Truth or Excuse
