5．My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette，Michigan．We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area．
In the spring of 1948，when I was 6 years old，my parents bought a calf （小牛） to replace our cow，which had been killed the year before．So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby．
We didn't own a truck，so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad's car with my 9-year-old brother Steve，and me．As you can imagine，the trip was a lot of fun for us kids．
Later that summer，Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby's back．All went well unt.1the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run，with me holding on for dear life．I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground．Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture，so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby!
When summer had passed，the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill Ur freezer I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day，because I have no memory of how it happened．All I knew was that the barn was empty，and that we had plenty of meat for dinners．
I hadn't lived on a farm like my mother，so I didn't understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual．Livestock aren't meant to be pets，and most farm kids know and accept that truth．
Whenever we had beef for dinner，I would tearfully，"Is this Tubby"This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared，"No more cows!"That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby．

1．Ways to Save TimeWe all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day：you could finally stick to an exercise routine，or spring-clean the house，or write your novel，or learn the guitar and so on．（36）F But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．
（1）Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7：30a．m．，try getting up at 7：00a．m．That half-hour might not sound like much，but it could be time that you use to exercise，to read that book you've been meaning to finish．（37）G
（2）Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work，get the important ones done first（not the easy ones，or even the urgent ones）．You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big，important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．（38）D The urgent tasks will still get done，and you won't miss the important ones．
（3）Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat，or if the phone is constantly ringing，you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time，they also break your concentration．
When you've got a big task to focus on，let your calls go to voicemail．（39）C Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．
（4）（40）A
A few minutes chatting，browsing the web，and so on，can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day．When you're working，work．If your concentration is slipping，take a proper break：go and get a glass of water，or stretch your legs a bit．And if you're facing a difficult task，try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．

A．Stay Focused on Your Work
B．Take Breaks When Necessary
C．If you have an office door，close it．
D．If you work like this，you'll usually save time．
E．Would you want me to make your day longer？
F．I can't magically make all your days 25hours long．
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．

There is no easy way （64）to get （get） success in language learning．A good memory is of great help，but it is not enough only to memorize（65）rules （rule） from a grammar book．It is no use（66）learning （learn） by heart long list of words and their（67）meaning/meanings （mean），studying the dictionary and so on．We must learn by using the language．If we are satisfied（68）with only a few rules we have memorized，we are not really learning the language．"Learn through use"（69）is （be） a good piece of advice for those who are studying（70）a new language．Practice is important．We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can．

17．With computers widely use in many fields，more and more people now type everything on the computer instead of write on paper，that has caused the level of students'handwriting skills to drop sharp．

16．It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework，but with one of the following suggestions，you really can get your children to help at home．
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right，then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons．Unless children believe they can succeed，they will never become totally independent．
My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special．When students received less than a prefect test score，she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed．
You can use the same technique when you evaluate （评价）your child's work at home．Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead．Talk about what he has done right，not about what he hasn't done．If your child completes a difficult task，promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad．
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding．If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure，they will learn faster and achieve success at last．
