Do you feel like you have too much homework every day? As you know,homework is a major part of going to school. Luckily,there are several things you can do to make homework less work.

* 1 Most high school students have between two and three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day,you may need to devote even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework plan,especially if you are going to play sports or do other activities after school.

* 2A bedroom,study or any room where you can get away from noise is the best place to get homework done. But don't study on your comfortable bed where you might fall asleep fast.

* 3 When you start your homework,do the hardest work first. Some people like to start with the easiest thing to get it out of the way. But you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin. It is best for you to use this mental power on the subjects that are the most challenging.

* 4 Most people's attention span (注意力的持续时间) does not last very long,so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

* 5 Sometimes even though you are paying attention in class,certain subjects seem too hard. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. Sometimes your parents can help you. You may also be able to get some help from another student or a personal tutor.

   A. Get to work.

   B. Get help when you need it.

   C. Watch where you work.

   D. Do the homework by yourself.

   E. Make a homework plan.

   F. Go to do other activities after school.

   G. Take a break.

The concept of obtaining fresh water from icebergs that are moved to populated areas and barren regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. 1,especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.

Glaciers (冰河) are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. Three quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice,2 that it could maintain all the rivers of the world for 1 ,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7 ,659 trillion metric tons of ice stored in 10 ,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps,more than ninety percent of them from Antarctica.

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice,3 ,rather,they are formed entirely on land,breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region,icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind,4 Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice,icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. To move them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult.

5,such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the storing of fresh water in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in moving,the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by removing salt from sea water.

   A. which is formed when the sea itself freezes

   B. Difficulties arise in other technical matters

   C. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations

   D. Icebergs are not too much influenced by the temperature.

   E. pulled by subsurface currents

   F. a reservoir (蓄水池) of untapped fresh water so large

   G. People often get fresh water by removing the salt from sea water.
