Time is the easiest thing in the world to waste—the most difficult to control. When you look ahead, it may appear you have 36        you need. Yet it has a way of slipping 37        your fingers like quicksand. You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have 38        to cover all your obligations. For example, 39           a beginning student looking ahead to a full term you may feel that you have an oversupply of time on your hands.40      toward the end of the term you may be 41         because you are running out of time. How can you do? —Control!
Time is 42        . If you don't control it, it will control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will 43        you. You must become the master of time, not the servant. “Study hard and play hard” is an old saying, but it still 44       . You have plenty of time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time 45        . It is not how much time you allocate for study that 46          but how much you learn when you do study.
Too much wasted time is 47         medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is to continue wasting time.  Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can't 48        . You  will be       49       to wasting time. When this happens, you 50      your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule. Some students 51          to hear the time message. They refuse to 52        the fact that college life demands some53         of time control. There is no escape. So what's the next step? If you seriously want to get the time message, the next passage will give it to you. 54      — it will not only improve your grades but also free you to 55           college life more.

It must have been around nine o’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the head lights of the car so as to prevent the beam from swinging (摆动) through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I needn’t have done so. I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway—unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps.
Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room. He was in bed awake, but he didn’t even turn towards me.
“What’s up, Jack﹖” I asked.
“For God’s sake, don’t make a noise,” he said.
The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself serious injury.
“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.
I thought that he must be ill and that I had better give way to him to keep him happy. “There is a snake here,” he explained. “It’s asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it.I knew that moving was out of the question. I could not have moved even I’d wanted to.” I realized that he was serious. “I was depending on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home,” Jack went on. “It has not bitten me yet but I dare not do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I’m sick of this,” he said.“I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”
There was no time to argue or apologize for being late.I looked at him as encouraging as I could and went to telephone the doctor.
【小题1】When he got home, Neville found that _____.

A.Jack had fallen asleep while readingB.Jack had been reading for some time
C.Jack’s light was not turned offD.Jack was ready to answer the doctor
【小题2】The underlined phrase in Paragraph 6 means _____.
A.impossibleB.no problemC.no doubtD.without difficulty
【小题3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage﹖
A.Neville and Jack lived in the same house.
B.Neville thought that Jack had fallen ill.
C.Neville really believed that Jack was not making a joke.
D.Neville refused to argue or to make an apology for being late.
【小题4】The reason why Neville thought that Jack must be ill is that Jack ____.
A.asked Neville to take off his shoes
B.made a gesture to show the presence of the snake
C.was afraid to upset the snake sleeping between the sheets
D.behaved strangely as if he were badly hurt
【小题5】According to the passage, Neville should have been home at ____.
A.7 p.m.B.8 p.m.C.9 p.m.D.6 p.m.

Health insurance can be very expensive. Some working people do not make enough money to pay for it. In the US there is a program called Healthy Families. This program offers people health insurance at a low cost.
Families are charged about ¥7.00 a month for every child, and ¥10.00 for every adult. It costs much less than any other kind of health insurance. Having health insurance is very important. With this insurance, people can see a doctor when they are sick or hurt.
The program is not expensive at all, but many people are still not enrolling in it. People say that it still costs too much money. They need all of their money to pay for things like food and rent.
It would be great if everyone could have health insurance. People are working hard to come up with ways to make this happen. One idea is to make the Healthy Families Program free for some people.
It is important for people to see a doctor when they need to. The Healthy Families Program makes it possible for more people to do this. Many ideas are being considered. Hopefully some of them will allow even more families to get health insurance.
The Healthy Families Program is made to help those who don’t have welfare (社会保障金) and cannot earn enough to pay for private health insurance. It is an important program, but officials say that too many people are signing up for it and then dropping out because of the Healthy Families Program’s cost.
【小题1】 The aim of the Healthy Families Program is to __________.

A.help people earn more and pay for the program
B.help more families get health insurance
C.make it free for people to see a doctor

Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

  Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

  Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings(人行横道) and do not take any chances when crossing the road.

  My next point is about litter(throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence(违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.

  Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco(烟草) if you are under l6 years of age.
