Tips to Be an Expert at Managing Your Time

Learn from the experts.
If you want to be a big success in any area, find out what other successful people in that area are doing. 2. And do the same things until you get the same results.
Be open to new ideas.
The most foolish person of all is either the person who feels he has no time to learn about time management or, the person, who feels that he already knows all that's needed to know on the subject. 3.
Develop a plan.
Successful men and women are both effective and efficient. 4. Develop a plan, then decide what is the most important thing to do and how to do it.
5.
Start with your top tasks. Focusing on your highestvalue tasks is the starting point of getting your time under control, though small things are easier and are often more fun than the big, important things.
A.Focus on the key tasks.

G.Here are several ways to get organized and get started.
The Mystery of Dark Matter
If you look at the night sky, you'll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics. Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made up of something called "dark matter". Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even consist of ninety per cent dark matter.
How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move. Recently, Dr. Jorge Penarrubia and a team from Edinburgh University discovered something interesting. The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, but dark matter may explain why.
Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem. The Edinburgh team is working with many other universities like the University of British Columbia.
We can't see dark matter, it's very difficult to measure and we can't find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn't produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark mater may be very different from the mater which we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.
The Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky first gave dark matter its name in the nineteen-thirties. Researchers have been looking for it ever since. Today, technology such as the Large Hadron Collider is collecting more and more information but this technology cannot tell us everything. New ways of finding dark matter will be needed. Investigating dark matter may even mean we will need to start asking questions about the way we look at the universe, including the ideas of Albert Einstein.
1.In what way do scientists find out the mass of galaxies？
A.Depending on where they are.
B.Depending on how much they weigh.

2.Which of the following statements about dark matter is NOT TRUE？
A.It can't be seen.
B.It doesn't reflect light.
C.It is not unlike ordinary matter.
D.It affects the movement of things.
3.What may get researchers looking for dark matter？
A.To change the way light bends.
B.To prove the ideas of Albert Einstein.
C.To collect more and more information.
D.To help understand the origin of the universe.
