Increasingly, researchers are discovering the importance of family mealtime. Several recent studies have
pointed to the same result: Children who often eat dinner with their parents are happier and have fewer
behavior problems.
Dr Blake Bowden, an American researcher, carried out one study. He found that young people who have
family dinners at least five times a week may not use drugs. They are often happier and do better in school.
Clearly, family dinners are important for a child"s development. Why? Because dinnertime offers busy
families a good chance to sit down together and talk. The relaxing conversation at the dinner table helps keep
good family relationships (关系). And good family relationships help children develop self-respect and a sense
of belonging.
Family relationships can also influence a person"s health. One study shows that children who enjoy close
relationships with their mothers will not develop serious health problems.
Sadly, however, meaningful family time is too often forgotten. Parents are busy working and children are
busy studying for tests. According to Dr Blake"s study, nearly 25 percent of people say that they have little
time for family.
According to another study, people spend only about 50 minutes of free time with family each day. And
those 50 minutes are not well spent on meaningful conversations, either. Many parents say they know little
about their children"s friends.
So how can families find more time for each other? How can they enjoy more family meals and
conversations? They need to make.choices. For children,they"d better not spend so much on their tests, but
they may risk (冒险) falling behind their classmates. For parents, they need to go back home earlier and risk
not getting a high position. But for families who do make those tough choices, the rewards are rich. Making
time to eat dinner with family does more than feed the body-it nourishes (滋养) the heart.

However, listeners play the same important role. Some of them focus on the speaker, while others daydream
or talk to a neighbor. What is the difference between these two kinds of listeners? Generally speaking,
effective (有效的) listeners have discovered the advantages of paying close attention. Not having experienced
the rewards of paying close attention, ineffective listeners continue to wonder why they can"t remember what
they "heard" or why they do poorly on tests.
How do effective listeners manage to pay close attention? First of all, they avoid letting poor circumstances,
like an uncomfortable seat, a personal problem, or the speaker"s mannerisms, distract (分心) them. Instead,
they "tune out" anything that will keep them from understanding and remembering what they hear. After leaving
a lecture or meeting, they remember what was said,not the room conditions or the poor delivery of the speaker.
On the other hand, ineffective listeners who think they are paying attention to the message can be easily
daydreaming.
In order to prevent probable distractions, effective listeners actively but objectively focus on the message
itself. They do not prejudge the speaker as representing a viewpoint which is completely different from their
own, nor do they prejudge the material as boring,too easy,or too difficult. Effective listeners accept the new
ideas. To help themselves become actively concemed with the speaker"s message,effective listeners write down
important words and phrases as a reminder of difficult ideas.
Ineffective listeners don"t like theoretical material;they may pretend to listen but daydream instead to avoid
hearing what they don"t agree with or readily understand. Moreover, rather than attending to meaning itself,
ineffective but well-intentioned listeners might be so interesteq in taking a lot of notes that they miss the
speaker"s main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words.
Clearly, a certain amount of effort is concemed with (与...有关) listening actively, objectively, and openly
to new ideas. But as that effort begins to pay off for ineffective listeners, they too will develop this skill as a
beneficial lifelong habit.
B. pay no attention to
C. pick out
D. think about
B. Listeners may remember what was said if they prejudge the speaker"s viewpoint.
C. Listeners should accept the new ideas and write down important words.
D. Listeners can daydream to avoid hearing what they don"t understand.
B. describe the listening habits of poor listeners
C. discuss the methods which are used by all kinds of listeners
D. state the differences between effective and ineffective listeners
Inventions.
"One of my favorite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a glue, but it"s butter. You spread it on
the bread without using a knife," he says. "Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these
special shoes on your dog or cat. As the animal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very
useful!" A lot of these inventions come from Japan-the home of the crazy invention.
Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. "The other day I found an invention called a
Cat Seat Saver," he says. "The Cat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat-but it isn"t real. You put it on your
seat if you have to go to the rest room. No one will sit in your seat because they think there"s a sleeping cat
on it. Pretty cool!"
However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website crazygadgets.com
says that their customers are young, professional people.
"They buy these small things mostly for fun," she says. "They are usually looking for a present for a
friend"s birthday or a silly girl for someone they work with."
If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy at lucyw@crazygagets.com.

necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to. Here"s how.
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have
to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule (日程表) of your time. First your time for eating,
sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don"t forget to set aside enough time
for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will make you realize what is
happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may
be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or
television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher
says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher
says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points
that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read
that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will
become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have leamed about a
subject. They help you remember your new knowledge.
The world won"t end if you don"t pass a test, so don"t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others
after you have tried these.
B. solve all your problems
C. find more time for your habits
D. know what is happening to your time
B. don" t have to take any notes
C. don" t have to do any work after class
D. can remember everything the teacher says
B. You should review everything your teacher mentioned in class.
C. If you have a good place to study, you"ll become a top student.
D. Planning work will make you clear about what to do and when to do it.
B. How to Improve Your Study
C. How to Pass a Test
D. How to Review Your Lessons

Space time: Two six-month tours on the Intemational Space Station, in 2002 and 2007-2008.
"Mind is a lot more important than body. So is your ability to think in 3-D and imagine how to move things
in a different way than on earth. The second time I went to the station, it felt like coming home. I got
comfortable much more quickly. Everything is lifted while you"re up there, so you look younger. Being back
on earth is not pleas ant at first. Moving around is difficult, like playing basketball. But I had my physical
training for about a month after my retum."

"I learned after about a week how to fly beautifully without going too fast or shaking around. I had a hard
time remembering how to walk, I prefer flying! When you have that idea of being far away anti looking back
at the planet, you don"t see any cit- ies or countries. You see a very quiet place. Just as Gandhit-the Father of
the Na- tion in India, once explained the feeling of oneness in all of us. Seeing our planet from space, you
understand that."
