阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief –You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.

Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant. What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions – all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.

If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.

That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office – Don’t work harder but work smarter! There’s a lot of sense in that idea.

If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “learning habits”.

Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously.Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother.He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.”Jason said,“He told us not to touch it.”

“He won't find out,” Mark said,“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange?looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental model,” his father had explained,“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious.Without any further thought,Mark turned on the power switch.The computer burst into life and seconds later,the screen turned into colors,shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen:“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly,“It's a computer game.I knew it!Dad's only been pretending to work.He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen:“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGER 1:...

VOYAGER 2:...”

Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO?RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”

The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we'd better shut it off,Mark,” Jason yelled,reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.

But his hand never reached the switch.A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen,wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒),until they themselves seemed to be glowing.Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life.And the boys were no longer there.On the screen,the letters changed.

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE:2025.”
