By the early 19th century the factory system had spread to the U.S. The first cotton factory was built in 1814, and by 1850 some 24 percent of workers were women. They produced clothing, shoes, cigars, and other things. In the Northeast, newly-arrived women with little education became the factory force. In the South, black women moved into factory and domestic（家庭的）jobs, first as slaves and later as free workers.

　　By 1890 nearly 4 million women in the U.S. worked for pay. This represented（代表）18 percent of the female population aged 14 and 17 percent of the total work force. Half the female workers were under 25 years of age, and seven out of ten were single. Most of them worked in domestic service, teaching positions, and textile（纺织的）factories; only about 5 percent were secretaries, clerks, or salespersons.

　　Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of women joining the paid labour force in the U.S. Today, almost 54 percent of all women of working age are employed. Over 50 percent of working women are married, and 60 percent of working wives have school--aged children.

　　There are about 22 million non-European Americans, mainly Black Americans, Red Indians, Latin Americans and other peoples．

　　The Red Indians number about 600,000．They are the natives of America．They look somewhat like Tibetans．They are not red, but brown．They were called Indians by mistake．When Columbus landed in the New World in 1492, he thought he had landed in India and called the people Indians．

　　The Black people had a sad history．Nearly all of them are descendants(后裔)of Africans brought from Africa to America sold as slaves in the 17th and 18th centuries．Today, they are about 21 million in number or 11 percent of total American population．Most of them lived in the South till the 1930s and since then more and more were leaving the South to look for work in the industrial North．Today, 60 percent of Black Americans live in New York, Chicago and other big cities．

　　Mexicans who belong to Latin Americans are the 2nd biggest minority nationality．Most of them are immigrant(移民)farm workers．The Puerto Ricans, from the island of Puerto Rica off the coast of Florida, live mostly in the slums(贫民窟)of big cities like New York and Chicago．These two peoples like the Afro-Americans mostly live below the poverty line．

　　There are Chinese people living in America, too－almost a quarter of million(the exact figure is 236,000)．Many of them went to America about 100 years ago to build the railways there．They suffered a great deal．Today, most Chinese Americans live in California(a state facing the Pacific Ocean)and New York, and also in Hawaii, and archipelago(群岛)in the mid-Pacific, which is counted as the 50th state of the U．S．A．

What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard .

Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the peace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.

Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “who’s in charge？” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.

By taking control of how you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming a more

successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your

studies, the more time you'll have to spend on your outside interests.

The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that

governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use

our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss

next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.

1.The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is ________.

A. your slave and serves you

B. your supporter an helps you

C. under your control and obeys you

D. under your influence and follows you

2.The author intends to tell us that time ________.

A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch

B. could be managed by the internal clock by human bodies

C. should be well managed for our own interest

D. should be saved for outside interests

3.In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.

A. how to keep up with the times B. how to make up for lost time

C. how to have a good time D. how to make good use of time
