Manage your time well for each module(單元), but also make sure you get a good balance(平衡) between work and social life. That is vital for life in general.

Set aside time specifically for each subject. Try to study one subject a day. You need to balance time. If you are bad at balancing things, make a personal timetable. Even if you do not stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not achieve anything. Also, try to keep your weekends free of studying. Only study at the weekend if you really have to.

I had to learn to balance work, study and family when I was at college. I was a retail assistant working part-time and had at least four modules to complete at the same time at college. I also had to help around the house doing household cleaning and shopping at times. I managed to finish my college work on time, which was very difficult and hard, and still hold down a job.

Why was it possible? Because I only thought about my part-time work when I was at work on the weekends and my college work had to be done from Mondays to Fridays before the weekends. This was hard—but you need to set a timetable for yourself. It was an achievement when I finally realized that things have to be done in order, and need to be organized as well.

Balancing study and other aspects(方面) of your life can be a problem if you have a job or a family, but planning in advance is helpful. Use the time you have well. Do not leave anything until the last minute, as this will only cause problems.

The underlined word “vital”(in Paragraph 1) means_____________.

  A. common               B. necessary                  C. easy                  D. difficult

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the advice the writer gives?

A. Try to study many subjects in a day.               B. Try not to study on the weekends.

C. Plan in advance.                                           D. Try to set a timetable.

It could be inferred from the passage that__________.

A. the writer has a part-time job as an assistant when he was at college

B. you need to set a timetable for yourself

C. you should make a personal timetable if you are bad at balancing your time

D .the writer can arrange（安排） his time well when he was at college

What is the passage mainly about?

A.I had a good time during my college.

B. How to study well at college.

C. Balance time between study and other aspects of your life.

D. How to plan your things in advance.

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.
“Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said.“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”
When the couple declined, the young man pressed on.“Don’t worry about me; I’ll make out just fine.” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.
As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk,“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy.
Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round—trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That,” said the older man,“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.”“You must be joking,” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not,” said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.
The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf—Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C.Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels.
【小題1】The purpose of the author writing this story is to_______.

A．give people a good laughB．cover some facts
C．promote the business of Waldorf—Astoria HotelD．deliver a lesson
【小題2】Which of the statements about the story is NOT true?
A．The story took place at about one a.m..
B．The old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.
C．The clerk was willing to help those in need.
D．The clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.
【小題3】The underlined word “conventions” in Para.3 can be replaced by_______?
A．roomsB．suitesC．meetingsD．hotels
【小題4】Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?
A．Every little thing helps.
B．Make hay while the sun shines.

Starting high school means many changes in your life. Most teenagers look forward to the first day of high school, but still feel a little bit nervous. In order to make your high school life easier, you can follow these tips.
Learn all you can about your first day before the first day. Take part in some activities that are held at the school for new students to know the school better.

Get the things you will need for class. Buy the things suggested on your teachers’ supply lists and place your materials for each class separately.
Keep up with your high school workload（工作量）. If you find you’re not doing well in a subject, make use of after-school study groups or ask your teacher to help you with your schoolwork. Consider private tutoring to get you through a difficult time.
There’re more extracurricular（課外的）activities in high school than in middle school, such as clubs, music and theater groups, student government, and sports teams.
