12．阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文．
Many students in the colleges and universities are found taking no notice of the waste of water，electricity or paper．
There is a phenomenon which can often be seen in students'public washrooms．A basin of clothes is put under a tap which is turned on at the maximum，and the water in the basin is spilling over，but there is no one in the washroom．The owner of the clothes comes back and pours out half of the water in the basin．
The same thing happens in the use of electricity in the colleges and universities．During supper time，all the lights are turned on．However，there are only several or even no students in the classroom，which can hold over a hundred students．At night，some of the dormitories are locked，but the lights are still on inside．Quite a few students explain themselves that they don't have to pay the extra electricity cost even if they overuse it because they have paid the school fee already．
When typing the exam paper and thesis，many students type the paper only on the one side．Few students type the paper on the both sides．The reason is that they think the price of typing on one side or both sides on a piece of paper is the same．As a result，it causes a large amount of paper waste．

概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯．A number of students in the colleges pay no attention to the waste of water，electricity and paper，which causes a large amount of energy to be wasted．
In my opinion，it is wrong for college students to do so．It's a shame that many of them keep on wasting energy．They shouldn't do this even if they pay for it．So it is necessary for us students to enhance the awareness of saving energy．The waste and overuse of energy has influenced ecological balance，which will have a harmful effect on our environment and threaten our existence．
Personally，I think we can save much energy in our daily life．First，we can walk or ride bicycles to school．If schools are too far away from our homes，we can take buses instead of taking private cars or taxis．Second，we should write on both sides of paper．Besides，we can take reusable bags with us when shopping．Fourth，we can save electricity by turning off the lights or other electrical appliances when we sleep or leave the rooms．In addition，we can reuse the water after washing to clean the toilets．
In a word，as long as we make efforts，a lot of energy can be saved and the environment can be protected．．

How early must a student begin preparing for an international education？Lisa Jain，the representative of The College Board in India showed her idea here clearly．
Many students who want to study abroad believe they need to start planning for it only in Grade12．What they don't realize is the amount of time，thought，and effort it requires．That is why a student should begin the ground work in Grade 10in order to gain a clear undestanding of what the college application process requires and to be prepared to deal with the pressures that will follow．
Focus on school grades and marks．It is important to try your best to perform well in academics throughout high school and not just in Grade 12．
Start gaining experience．Get involved in a small number of activities ove a long period of time，such as a sport，the arts，writing，research，community work，etc，through which you create impact in the activity，climb to a leadership position，grow as a person and develop skills．Picking something in Grade 12and claiming it's your passion won't work．
Begin research．Which country do you want to apply to colleges in？What do you want to study at college？Researching early and start reflecting on what you'd enjoy learning will make the college and major selection process less overwhelming in Grade 12．
All your efforts in Grade 10-11will help ease your burden in Grade 12．If you do everything at the right time，you will find the process enjoyable and realize there is hardly a reason to stress．Just remember：The early birds catch the worms!

In the passage，Lisa Jain offered her advice to those wanting to study abroad，pointing out that，to be prepared，a student should begin the ground work early in Grade 10，like focusing on good grades from the very beginning．
The early birds catch the worms!What a thought-provoking proverb，which reminds us to plan ahead of time and make full preparations so as to achieve success．In my opinion，"the early birds"means the people who always make early plans and adequate preparations，and"catch worms"indicates catching opportunities and harvesting success．Just as another saying goes，opportunities are for those who are prepared．Only if a person has an early start to get everything ready can he possess the ability to seize the chance and accomplish his goal．
Yu Ming Hong，the founder of the famous educational institution New Oriental，is a good illustration of the truth that success lies in an early start and good preparations． When studying in Peking university，aiming to find a good job in Beijing after graduation，Yu Ming Hong decided to improve his major English．So，from the freshman year，he kept reciting words every day and stuck to it all the way through his college life． With an early start and constant efforts，by the time he graduated，he had become the student who had the largest vocabulary among his classmates，which contributed directly to his good grades in English and thus he successfully became an English teacher in Peking University and later set up the well-known school．Undoubtedly，it was his"being the early bird"that brought him his success today．
Therefore，be an early bird，and you will find it pays off．But how？First of all，a clear goal is essential，which will lead us to where we want to go．Secondly，plan the day and manage our time．Early birds never fails to carefully plan and make the best of his time．And then painstaking efforts follow．．

10．In America，where labour costs are so high，"do-it-yourself"is a way of life．Many people repair their own cars，build their own houses．Soon they may also be writing their own books．In Hollywood there is a company that publishes children's books with the aid of computers．Although other companies also publish that way，this particular company is very unusual．It"personalizes"the books by having the computer make the reader the leading character in the story．Here is how they do it．Let us say that your child is named Jenny．She lives on Oak Drive in St Louis，has a dog named Spot，a cat named Tabby，and three playmates whose names are Betsy，Sandy，and Jody．The computer uses information to fill out a story that has already been prepared and illustrated．The story is then printed with standard equipment as a hardcover book．A child who receives such a book might say，"This book is about me"； the company therefore calls itself the"Me-book Publishing Company"．
Children like the me-books very much because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets．But more importantly，"personalization"has been found to be an important tool in developing enthusiasm for reading．Me-books are thus helping a child to learn how to read，by appealing to that natural desire to see his own name in print．

26．Why do the children like the"me-books"？B
A．Because the main characters are Jenny，her dog，her cat and her three playmates．

Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year．How do you make that happen？Consider putting the habit loop to use．
Here's how it works：
A habit is a 3-step process．First，there's a cue，something that tells your brain to operate automatically．Then there's a routine．And finally，a reward，which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior．It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own．
Here's how to apply it：
Choose a cue，like leaving your running shoes by the door，then pick．a reward-say，a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym．That way，the cue and the reward become interconnected．Finally，when you see the shoes，your brain will start longing for the reward，which will make it easier to work out day after day．The best part？In a couple of weeks，you won't need the chocolate at all．Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward．Which is the whole point，right？
