                        What should I do with the diary I've kept for 50 years?
      I've been keeping a journal since I was 16 and I'm now 65. I have more than 80 notebooks in a big
box. I don't want my children embarrassed by them when I die. But I can't bring myself, yet, to burn the
case. My journals are still part of me. Might my grandchildren, with a bit more distance, be interested? Or
is there some way I could turn them into something creative? I'm thinking about art instead of a book.

     Please don't burn them! What a wonderful source of memories for you-or if you feel you'd rather not
keep them, possibly what a wonderful resource for others! Why not contact something like the Mass
Observation Project at the University of Sussex? Then they will remain as a record of everyday life
throughout your lifetime, and if your grandchildren are interested they'll know where to find them.

     Please don't burn them! If possible, transcribe(转录) them, or have them transcribed, into a
computer medium before your words are lost because the paper has decayed. I recently had an
opportunity to read a similar diary of the WW? record of an ordinary soldier. It was attractive in the way
it differed from the official record. I suppose to some degree it all depends on what you have recorded,
but many social historians and similar people would find such a complete personal record of a life led
during the second half of the 20th century to be very valuable.
     Please don't stop writing now just because you are 65!

     任务型读写。请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填
入最恰当的单词。)注意:每空不超过1个单词。
     Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student.
This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.
Here's how:
     1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things
that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule 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 force you to realize wha 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 corner 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 teachers say. 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, reading that 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
learned 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.
