Every day has just 24 hours -- and this applies to all people. Some people are constantly pushed for time. This article is about how we can learn to manage our valuable time more effectively. In reality, we cannot manage time. We can only manage ourselves and our relationship with time. 1. And habits are not that easy to change. Below here are tips that can help you manage your time better. *Organize your goals. Organize your goals based on two criteria: degree of urgency and importance: a. Should be done today, tomorrow, etc. b. Should be done at “that date”. c. Can be put off for so many days. d. Can ask someone else to do it. 2. *Clean up your list. Make a list of everything you think that is not helping or benefiting you and do not do them! *Focus on one goal. Concentrate only on one goal at a time. Otherwise, if while dealing with something you think about everything you can do later, most likely you will get bored and disappointed.3. The boredom is guaranteed with this way of thinking. *Identify your deadlines. 4. Divide the activities per day/week and long-term goals to get a clear picture of what you have to do and when. *Find suitable work environment. 5. *Be realistic. Make sure that your goals are realistic and do not try for the impossible. *Say “NO”.

Check the list of what you should do and when it must be completed. E. After organizing your goals, start with the most important and urgent. F. It is like every time you eat you think all the meals you must eat in your life. G. Do not let boredom discourage you if what you have to complete is boring.
Drive through any suburb in the U.S. today, and it’s hard to miss the bins that have become companions to America’s trash cans. Recycling has become commonplace, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people’s recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper, bottles, and cans. People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste. E-waste rapidly increases as the techno-fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced device and the majority of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics every day. Unless we can find a safe replacement, this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins (毒素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air. However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electrical materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy ecosystems. A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban dumping (倾倒) e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal (处置) in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight, out-of-mind location. However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all. 1.What can we infer from the first paragraph? A.Many Americans now have access to recycling bins. B.E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S. C.Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste. D.Most of America’s trash cans are made of recycled material. 2.Which word can best replace the underlined word “contaminate” in Paragraph 2? A.pollute. B.heat. C.absorb. D.reduce. 3.How does the author feel about burying e-waste in landfills? A.It’s important. B.It’s unsafe. C.It’s acceptable. D.It’s uncommon. 4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A.A large number of cities have begun to handle e-waste responsibly. B.A growing number of states ship the e-waste to developing countries. C.Progress is being made in handling e-waste. D.The world will become cleaner by disposing of waste in an out-of-sight location. 5.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text? A.To tell us how to recycle e-waste. B.To talk about the future of e-waste. C.To discuss if it’s necessary to recycle e-waste. D.To encourage us to deal with e-waste properly.
We discuss the issue of when to help a patient die, which was not talked about openly and little was written about it. The best way to bring the problem into focus is to describe two patients whom I cared for. The first, formerly a nurse, had an automobile accident. And there she was: in coma, on a breathing machine. One day, her husband and son came to see me. They told me their wife and mother was obviously going to die; she was a nurse and had told her family that she never wanted this kind of terrible death, being maintained by machines. I told them that while I respected their view, there was nothing deadly about her situation. The kidney(肾) failure she had was just the kind for which the artificial (人造的) kidney was most effective. While possibly a bit reassured, they were disappointed. Here was the head surgeon seemingly determined to keep everybody alive, no matter what. Within a few days the patient awoke from her coma. About six months later, the door of my office opened and in walked a gloriously fit woman. After some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son asked to speak to me alone. As soon as the door closed, both men became quite tearful. All that came out was, “We want you to know how wrong we were.” The second patient was an 85-year-old lady whose hair caught fire while she was smoking. She arrived with a deep burn; I knew it would surely be deadly. At the time, there was a class discussing medical ethics(道德). The instructor asked me if I had any sort of ethical problem I could bring up for discussion. I described the case and asked the students their opinion. After the discussion, I made a remark that was, when looking back, a serious mistake. I said, “I’ll talk with the nurses before we decide.” The instructor and the students were shocked: “You mean this is a real patient?” The teacher of ethics was not accustomed to being challenged by actuality. A day or two later, when the lady was making no progress and was suffering terribly, we began to back off in treatment. Soon she died quietly and not in pain. As a reasonable physician, you had better move ahead and do what you would want done for you. And don’t discuss it with the world first. There is a lesson here for everybody. Assisting people to leave this life requires strong judgment and long experience to avoid its misuse. 1.Why were the first patient’s husband and son disappointed at first? A.Their wife and mother was going to die. B.The doctor didn’t do as they asked to. C.Their wife and mother had to receive an artificial kidney. D.The doctor scolded them for their cruelty. 2.The author discussed with the students________. A.how to help patients end their lives B.the importance of saving patients’ lives C.whether it is ethical to keep a patient alive on a breathing machine D.the case about an old lady 3.Why was the instructor of ethnics shocked? A.He had never discussed helping a patient in real life to die. B.He thought it was cruel to assist the old lady to die. C.He was not accustomed to talking about ethnical problems. D.He felt he was challenged by the author. 4.The author suggested that doctors _______ before they assist a patient in killing himself. A.discuss it with the others first B.make sure there is no other choice left C.be required to do so first by the patient D.give the patient enough medicine 5.Which of the following can best describe the author? A.Cruel. B.Determined. C.Professional. D.Considerate.
“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour. Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide. Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the barriers in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that. Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.” Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself. 1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of . A.its founder, David Belle B.the film, Casino Royale C.its risks and tricks D.the varieties of participants 2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “ ”. A.streets B.objects C.barriers D.roofs 3.Which of the following is true of parkour? A.It challenges human abilities. B.It is a good but boring sport. C.It needs special training. D.It is a team sport. 4.Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour? A.Sports and extremes. B.Excitement and popularity. C.Dreams and success. D.Determination and freedom. 5.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Overcoming Obstacles B.Philosophies behind Parkour C.Joining Us in Parkour D.Getting to Know Parkour

A couple of weeks ago，my dad，who is seventy－six，had an operation on his left knee. He came through the operation just fine and although they told him he would be in hospital for five days，he only stayed there for three days. He had a local anesthetic(局部麻醉)and was able to see and hear everything that went on in the operating room. Later in his room，he was laughing as he told the story of hearing the hammer and saw as they took out the bone. With a smile on his face，he advised that the doctors should sharpen the saw，since he could smell the bone burning as they removed it. The other day，one of the rubber tips on his walker wore out. Not wanting to damage the carpet or the kitchen floor，he went to his shop to find a new rubber tip. I was talking with my mom and after some time we got concerned，so I went out to see if he was OK. I walked into the shop to find him sitting on his work bench laughing. I asked what he was doing. He explained that since the rubber tip would not fit his walker，he was changing legs. It seems Mom’s walker，which she used five years ago，was broken on the top，but the legs were better than the ones on his walker. Together my dad and I worked and worked，laughing all the time. The more trouble we had，the harder we laughed. I have been fortunate enough to have many such minutes with my dad. 1.When advising the doctors to sharpen the saw，the author’s father really intended to________. A.be humorous B.express his anger C.make a complaint D.make fun of the doctors 2.The author’s father went to his shop to________.

In US high school，everything2.(record) and graded，including your grades on quizzes，tests and final examinations.

If you were to see a cold，hungry cat in front of your house，would you feed it or walk away？Most people would walk away instead of taking the time to make sure the cat is okay. 1. They usually have so much to deal with in their daily life as to ignore their surroundings. Now here’s another question: If you see a group of kids hitting and abusing an animal，would you stop them？2. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue. Every day animals are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians do nothing to stop this issue. Everyone is worried about education and global warming. What about animals？3. These are the rights that allow animals a place to stay，a shelter if they have no place to stay，the right not to be abused and many other rights. Are we taking away animals’ right by not giving them a place to stay？Yes，we are. Since I was born，my mother，my sister and I have taken in over fifty homeless cats，fed them，cleaned them and sent them to good families. Some people probably give different views，saying，“4.” It’s true. There are people in the world that need help but we cannot forget the animals. We are all living on this Earth together，why not help each other? 5. You can volunteer at your local animal shelter，raise money for animal shelters，and inform your community about animal abuse. You can easily buy a cheap box of dry cat/dog food to feed the animals. A. Again people would walk away. B. There are many things you can do to help animals around. C. Many people have little knowledge about old animals. D. Animals，like us Americans，have rights. E. The problem is that people generally live busy lives. F. I’m only one person and I can’t make a difference. G. There are people in the world who need more help than old animals.
Americans wear black for mourning. Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities (极性) with the West，as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University of California，Berkeley，a psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures—polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth. His findings go far toward explaining why American cultures seem so contentious and Chinese cultures so passive，when compared to each other. More importantly，the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in fundamental ways. The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth，said Kaiping Peng，a former Beijing scholar，who is now a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology. And Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions (矛盾) in social and personal life，he said. “Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument，” said Peng. “The problem is that at the interpersonal level，you really don’t need to find the truth，or maybe there isn’t any. ”Chinese people，said Peng，are far more content to think that both sides have flaws (缺陷) and virtues，because they have a holistic awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans，he added. In studies of interpersonal argument，for example，when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information stemming from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school，Peng found that Americans were “noncompromising，blaming one side—usually the mother—for the causes of the problems，demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise”in dealing with the conflict. Compared to this angry，blaming American stance，the Chinese were paragons (模范) of compromise，finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle. 1.In Paragraph 1，the author sets examples in order to ________. A.expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans B.show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture C.find the reason for the differences D.generalize the main idea of the passage 2.The underlined word “contentious” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A.conservative B.aggressive C.objective D.optimistic 3.Compared with Americans，Chinese are ________. A.likely to find the truth in life B.reluctant to admit their failure C.reluctant to have a general idea of things D.likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things 4.The studies show that ________. A.an American treats his or her mother badly B.different ideas of treating the aged C.different personalities of Chinese and Americans D.different conflicts of Americans and Chinese

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 The everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责) ——being punctual, careful in doing work, self-disciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities ——are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It’s the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who never abuses sick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline. Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs, from semi-skilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today’s constantly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don’t show the same high levels of model behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious, for example, tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships. When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however; without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
