I had been working for a company in
I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated(移民) to Australia. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed.
The manager asked me to introduce someone to him who I thought could do the job just as well as I could to replace me, so I took this opportunity to arrange(安排) an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.
Afterwards, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down.

Since I became a full-time freelancer(自由作家), I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn’t been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.
I’ve quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and, better yet: waking up early is really just a habit. You don’t need any skill to do it. You just need to wake up early repeatedly to condition your body to the habit.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.
Writing down all the big, important things you’ll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.
Don’t read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not lying awake for hours. The goal is to fall asleep within 10 minutes after getting into bed.
Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga(瑜珈) to lower your stress level.
These are just a few ways you can use to improve your ability to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is most important, and needs a little work. The key thing to remember is that waking up should be a pleasant experience. If you can make waking up something you look forward to, you’re already halfway on your journey to becoming an early riser.
64． What do we know about the author?
A. He has a full-time job outside. B. He likes lying in bed all day.
C. He was once fired by a company. D. He has difficulty getting up early.
65． What does the underlined part “condition your body to the habit” mean?
A. Make your body get used to getting up early.
B. Make sure that your body is in good condition.
C. Deal with your body using special skills.
D. Keep your body comfortable in all beds.
66． The author gives us some tips to ________.
A. help us find the key to success
B. help us become an early riser
C. helps us fall asleep within 10 minutes
D. help us relax after a day’s hard work
67． Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga according to the passage?
A. It is a good way to reduce stress.
B. It can help you sleep.
C. It can make you worried.
D. It can improve your ability to wake up earlier.
D
College is an investment(投资) for a lifetime ? the gift of a college education can open the door to a world of opportunity for your child or grandchild. Saving, even a little at a time, can make a big difference down the road.
With the cost of a college education continuing to increase, the key is to start saving early and regularly(规律地). By saving a set amount at set times, your money can grow as your child does. And before you know it, you’ll be just as ready for college as they are. According to the College Board, the average cost for four-year public colleges has increased nearly 51% over the last 10 years, and these costs will almost certainly continue to rise. Saving for college can help with the increasing cost of a college education and help you be well prepared when your children are ready for college.
Saving for your child’s college education is an investment in their future. The savings you make today pay off in increased earnings in the future. According to the US Census Bureau(人口调查局), college graduates earn an average of $ 1 million more than high school graduates during their careers. The value of your investment in a college education will continue to grow for a lifetime.
Set your college savings goals realistically(现实地). You may not be able to save enough for all four years of tuition, room and board, and other expenses ? but you could save enough to give your child the right start.
More and more families depend on student loans(贷款) to pay for college. By saving for college, families can depend on loans less and help their children leave college without debt.

I am honored to invite you to join us in our most important and greatest festival ? the Spring Festival, which is celebrated on January 1st of the lunar year. Before the Spring Festival, the Chinese people usually give the houses a general cleaning and buy new clothes for children. On that day, all family members get together and enjoy a big meal. People wish each other good luck and express their best wishes to their family, friends, relatives and even strangers wherever they meet. I think it is a good opportunity for you to learn more about Chinese traditional culture. I advise you to come to my home earlier, because the traffic is extremely heavy near the Spring Festival. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
