In general, it’s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn’t realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began,
I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in, I always finished it the next day between classes.I knew it wasn’t very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.
So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.
Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.
It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.
Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.

解析

1. B 此题可从第二段第三行可以知道答案,I always finished it the next day between classes(在第二天上课的时候完成作业),故选B。
2. C 细节题,从第三段最后一句可知because it made me under too much pressure,作者感觉压力太大,故选C。
3. A 本题答案来自第四段。从Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week 以及I made another list of things that I could do if I had time可知A没有列出来的。
4. B 此题要从全文来得出答案。从I got on well with other girls可知A答案错误。从I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance. 以及So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing可知作者并没有放松的时间多于学习的时间。从I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.可知B答案正确。
5. C 本文主要讲的是学习与玩之间的平衡的事情。A答案这个题目范围过大,B答案只是强调学习,只是文章的一个方面,而C很好地概括了全文的意思,选C。

举一反三

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.
Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.
When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(无效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it appears to.
It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.”

小题2:Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?
A.Because of the size of the product.B.Because of the color of the product.
C.Because of the color of the package.D.Because of the cost of the product.
小题3:If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?
A.$ 24B.$ 36C.$ 40D.$ 60
小题4:Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A.The way to sell goods.B.A good product.

You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best. "
What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

"In Britain, even in town, there’s always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often have balconies(阳台). The weather isn’t warm enough !"
