21、High school is a busy time, but it doesn’t have to be unbearable! Our guide will help you improve your time management so you can stay on top of your school work and feel more in control over your schedule.
Make the most of your class time. Sit in front of the class. 【1】 It will also send a signal to your teacher that you are engaged in the class.
Not every high school has flexible seating. However, take advantage of the opportunity to sit in front if you have it. If you’ve been assigned a seat in the back row, respectfully ask your teachers for a seat closer to the front. 【2】
【3】 You can begin with brainstorming some long-term goals. When you understand what your long-term goals are, you can determine how best to make the most of your time in high school to accomplish those goals. Write down a list of things you may be interested in doing, then read and research what careers in those fields involve. 【4】 For example, you may want to become a computer programmer when you grow up. To that end, you may want to sign up for a computer programming course.
Set short-term goals by learning how to achieve your long-term goals. Research the steps it takes to achieve your long-term goals by talking to professionals who have achieved those goals and searching the Internet for information. 【5】 Make your short-term goals with both high school and college in mind. Make sure that your grades and extracurriculars match the undergraduate, vocational(职业的), or other post high school programs you intend to apply for.
A．Figure out your preferences.
B．Chances are they’ll give you a leg up.
C．Avoid writing down every single word.
D．There’s a good chance someone else is struggling with it too.
E．Doing so will help you concentrate on the lesson and avoid distractions.
F．Then determine what you can do in high school to start taking those steps.
G．Narrow your list down until you have identified the career you’d like to pursue.
22、In his book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, the Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoes suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?
In his new work, Gladwell explore the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas, messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics （流行病）.
Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus’ then spread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slow down gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one sudden moment.
Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics:
Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to each other. The people they know often come from a variety of social, cultural, professional and economic circles.
Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.
Salesmen are people with charisma（魅力）. They have a “soft” influence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.
Overall, Gladwell’s book is a thought-provoking（引人深思的）read for anyone interested in the origins of trends. What’s more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.
【1】What do we know about Gladwell?
A. He is a productive North American writer.
B. He has written many books on the subject of trends.
C. He thinks trends develop in the same way as illnesses.
D. He believes there are three types of people in the world.
【2】According to the text, connectors .
A. are very social persons
B. often follow others
C. know many people from the same circle
D. are knowledgeable and experienced
【3】What do we learn from the text?
A. Salesmen try to control other people using their power.
B. Mavens quickly become aware of changes in fashions.
C. Connectors and Mavens try to get their information across.
D. Gladwell’s book is interesting but hard to understand for readers.
23、Sleeping with a dim(昏暗的) light like a television or nightlight is enough to the raise blood sugar and heart rates of healthy people, according to a new study. Light helps our body maintain an internal clock, but artificial light at night can disturb the rest and repair that should happen during the sleep. New research suggests that even when our eyes are closed, a small amount of light can disrupt the way our bodies normally keep our blood sugar within a healthy range.
In the study published in Sciences on Monday, scientists asked 20 participants aged 19 to 36 to spend two nights in their lab. On the first night of sleep, the volunteers slept in a very dark room. For their second night of sleep, half of the group slept with streetlights through a window, and half spent their second night in a dark room.
During the trial, all participants were connected to devices that measured different markers of their sleep quality. They were each connected via a special tube, allowing researchers to collect samples without waking the individual. Researchers also recorded participants’ heart rates and brain waves.
When the volunteers awoke in the morning, the team tested their blood sugar and found that participants that slept in rooms with a dim light spent less time in deep sleep. In addition to having slightly worse blood sugar control, the group exposed to dim light had a higher heart rate on average. By comparison, those that spend two nights in the dark room had little difference in their blood sugar control. “They thought they slept well, but your brain knows that the lights are on,” says Zee, “you should clearly pay attention to the light in your bedroom. If you can’t give up your night light, keep it dim and at floor level.”
Earlier work has linked exposure to light during sleep to an increased risk of obesity (肥胖) in women. Zee recommends, “Make sure that you start dimming your lights at least an hour or two before you go to bed to prepare your environment for sleep.”
【1】What does the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Bother.
B．Keep.
C．Disagree.
D．Follow.
【2】How did the researchers draw a conclusion from the study?
A．By comparing earlier work.
B．By asking and answering questions.
C．By conducting experiments.
D．By analyzing the data from scientific texts.
【3】What did the study find if the participants slept in dark rooms?
A．Their heart rate would raise higher.
B．Their blood sugar control wouldn’t change.
C．They would have worse blood sugar control.
D．They would actually sleep more than average.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Sleep Well, Eat Well, Good Health
B．The Darker, the Lower Blood Sugar
C．Sleeping With a Dim Light contributes to health
D．Sleeping With a Dim Light Can Raise Health Problems
24、Time after time, I am on different internet forums, and I end up communicating with people who want to start a blog or website and are,“going to get started soon”, “thinking about it”, or “still going over my options”, and so on. While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still thinking about it”.
While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most. 【1】
There is a proverb, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perfect plan. In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down. 【2】
Yes, you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error.
Just make a decision and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist.【3】
It comes from the belief that,“anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project.
To start, just begin with something that is good enough, and then keep working to improve on it. Make a basic plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results. 【4】Let go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with, “it’s got to be perfect.”
I’ll leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect. 【5】 “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
A．In fact, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.
B．I’ll provide you with some examples of action.
C．Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.
D．However, he is an example to be followed today.
E．Once you begin, it’s often less painful to keep working.
F．Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision.
G．The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment.
