Time is such valuable for every one of us．Even it is more valuable than money．The reason is that when money is spent，we can earn back．However，when time was gone，it will never come back．So we must value our time．
From birth to death，time is limited for all of us．So we should make well use of it．As students，what we should do first is to study well and obtain knowledges so that we can serve our country in the future．
Therefore，some people don't know the value of time．They spend time do meaningless things，such as smoking，drinking and even gambling．
You should form a good habit of saving time．Don't put off that we should do till tomorrow．Laziness will bring us the poverty as well as failure．

19．You might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about．But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning，there's no better time to have fun with their education，while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold．
The University of Calgary，Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they'll be working in down the road．
"Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD，"says Don McSwiney，spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps．"The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience，which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book．"Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C，where they take part in programs such as The Scientist，where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes．Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year．Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science，engineering and technology in a hands-on way．
At Mount Royal，the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary．"We have about 18different programs for children from 6to 17．"says program administrator Maya Anderson．There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13to 17，which focuses more on the academic--those who want to go into science．More than 3，200kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs，which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way．
SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4to 6range，and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy，to Planet Protectors （energy，engineering，environment）．
"We focus on building self-confidence in our campers，"says Jaros．"Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning，without the pressure of school．"
33．If a student wants to know how to map DNA，he should attendB．
A．MRU kids B．The Scientist C．Minds in Motion D．Einstein's Shampoo

18．As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards； water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams，to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of"virtual water"．
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
For example，consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients（原料）．Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation，when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra's new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East，get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products．More surprisingly，some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．

17．Dear Daughter，
As we drove off from Columbia University，I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind．
College will be the most important years in your life．It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about．I encourage you to be inquisitive，but I also want to tell you："Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten．"What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject，and the ability to analyze a new problem．That is really what learning in college is about-this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become a self-learner．So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life，the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn．
Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college．Take courses you think you will enjoy．Don't be trapped in what others think or say．
Most importantly，make friends and be happy．College friends are often the best in life．Pick a few friends and become really close to them-pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you．People are not perfect，so as long as they are genuine and sincere，trust them and be good to them．They will give back．This is my secret of success-that I am genuine with people and trust them （unless they do something to lose my trust）．
Please treasure your college years-make the best of your free time，become an independent thinker in control of your destiny，be bold to experiment，learn and grow through your successes and challenges．May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life，and may you blossom into just what you dream to be．
Love，
Dad （& Mom）
