The time we have is usual limited. However, even an hour is of much valuable. We should make full use of your time to do useful things. As students, we mustn’t study hard so as to serve for our society and our nation in the future. But it is pity that there are a lot of people who didn’t know the importance of time. They spend their valuable time smoke and drinking. They don’t realize that wasting time is the same as wasting a part of their life. Remember, don’t put off which you can do today until tomorrow.

Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble (发牢骚) afterward． This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed．”

In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.

● Not making introductions

Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.

● “Quite” good

Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons’ ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.

● Money Talk

Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable — even 1ess so than discussing our feelings.”

● Over-politeness

“It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.

A． Britons are particular about foods

2.Which of the following might Margolis agree with?

C． reduces the strength of

D． draws attention away from

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people．Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts．While success is never a sure thing，the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective．

1.Vacations，cars，kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk(大块) out of your paycheck．To maximize your savings，you need to minimize your expenses．Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings．

2.If you don't save，you'll never reach your goal．Obvious as this might seem，far too many people never even start to save．If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一种养老保险)，simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck，increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes．It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment．Finding the cash to stash (隐藏起)may be a challenge，particularly when you're young，but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches．

3.If you are looking to grow your wealth over time，fixed income isn't likely to get the job done，and inflation (通货膨胀) can take a big chunk out of your savings．Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk，but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns．For many of us，it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow．

4.Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur．If you are not prepared，these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts．While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road，you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do．

5.Your income should rise as time passes．You'll get raises，you'll change jobs，and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family．Every time more cash comes in to your pocket，you should increase the amount that you save．The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can．

A． Watch Your Spending．

B． Prepare for Rainy Days．

C． Start Saving．

D． Get Aggressive．

E． Save More．

F． Set the Goal．

G． Have patience．

A senior lawmaker on Thursday warned of increasing mortality of lung cancer caused by air pollution．

Of all cancers， lung cancer mortality rate has increased the fastest in recent years， said lawmaker Yang Wei， director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and member of the National People's Congress （NPC） Standing Committee．

Yang told a group discussion that recent studies show lung cancer is the top killer for males and the second largest killer for females， partially caused by accumulation of air pollutants．

“We always talked about smoking less to keep healthy， but one of the primary reason is the polluted air，”he told lawmakers discussing a report on the enforcement（实施） of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution．

China has vowed to strengthen air pollution control． Beijing will adopt a special air pollution control plan for the upcoming APEC meetings， featuring temporary closure of factories in the event of a pollution warning．

We are forgetful. With time going by, our brains seem to be slowing down—and that can be a very unpleasant thing. 1. Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 2.

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. _ 3. Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 4.

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.

5. . Or you can go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
