摘要: Time Is More Valuable Than Money People often say, "Time is money," But in fact time is more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is lost, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time. The time we have is limited. Every second is precious. We should make full use of our time. But there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They kill away their time chatting, smoking, drinking or gambling, They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting their valuable life. In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not leave what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.

Speak, speak, speak!

Practise speaking as often as you can. Speaking to yourself is good practice.

Try recording yourself whenever you can.

Compare your pronunciation with the master version(原版)to see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than last.

Why not learn with someone else?

It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.

Don't get stuck by a word you don't know.

Practise improving ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地),even if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to make yourself understood.

Language learning is also about intuition(直觉).

Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time.

Build up your vocabulary.

A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, and then come back to them later.

And above all, have fun!

Children brought up on healthy diets are more intelligent compared with their junk food eating partners, a new research suggests.

Kids fed a diet packed high in fats, sugars, and processed(加工) foods had lower IQs than those fed pasta(意大利面食), salads and fruit, it was found.

The effect is so great that researchers from the University of Bristol said those children with a “healthier” diet may get an IQ improvement.

Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child’s early as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life.

This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and “it is possible that good nutrition(营养)during this period may encourage excellent brain growth”

Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of around 14,000 children born in 1991 and 1992 as part of the West Country’s Avon Longitudinal(纵向的)Study of Parents and Children(ALSPAC).

Parents were questioned about the types and frequency of the food and drink their children consumed when they were three, four, seven and eight and a half years old. According to their different changing form, these children were marked and given grades which ranged from minus two for the most healthy to 10 for the most unhealthy.

In the research, IQ was measured of 4,000 children when they were eight and half years old, using a validated(经过认证的)test-the Wechsler Intelligence Scale(韦氏儿童智力量表)for Children.

The results found after taking account of some influential factors, a leading processed food diet at the age of three was associated with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, whether the diet was improved after that age.

Every 1 point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a 1.67 fall in IQ.

1.          Scientists stressed good diet was essential in a child’s early life because   .

A.the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life.

B.those children with a “healthier” diet must get an IQ improvement.

C.children brought up on healthy diets are less intelligent.

C.Scientists tracked the long term health and happiness of about 14,000 children.

D.Every 1 point increase in dietary pattern score was associated with a 1.67 fall in IQ.

3.          The recults found if a child ate a leading processed food diet when he was 3, he would      .

A.have a higher IQ

B.have a higher IQ as long as he improved his diet

C.have one IQ when he was 8

D.have a lower IQ whether he improved his diet

4.          Parents were questioned except when their children were      years old.

A.3

B.4

My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.

My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.

Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant (无关的). What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.

If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.

That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office: “Don’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.

If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.

Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.

1.We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____ .

A.have enough time                       B.can meet the president

C.get everything done well                  D.should accept the explanation

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The author’s students make good use of their time to do all their homework.

B.The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.

C.You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time.

D.You’ll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you’re a clever student.

3.What’s the passage mainly about?

A.Students don’t have enough time.         B.Don’t work harder; work smarter.

C.No one can get more time.                D.Read better and write better.
