Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that’s because you don’t know how to select the perfect schedule．But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times．

First, you must find the right courses．These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors．Ask your friends about courses in which they received A’s after attending only 70 percent of the classes．Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years．Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school．Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully．Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject．Look for titles like “Arts and Crafts for Beginners,” and “Rock Music of the 1950s．”

Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects you can begin to select your time periods．If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon．You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you’re one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning．On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes as early as possible．That way you have the rest of the day free．Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opera（肥皂剧）fan．

Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully．The main way to do this is to register（注册）early．If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldn’t register at 7:00 a．m．, you may still be able to get in．Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students．Be sure to carry a list of backup courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods．By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule．College can thus become an almost pleasant activity．

It's hard being an astronaut's son．I mean, everybody　 1 you to be special or perfect, and I'm just a （n）　 2　 student, and I'm also ordinary, too…when it　 3　 basketball, football, soccer and baseball．

I often wonder how my father 4 had a son like me．I mean he is so special and so good at everything． 5 I used to dream about doing something unusual to 6 my father and make him proud of me．

In one class, my teacher 7 a Father's Day essay contest for us and the winner's essays would be read in front of all the parents and students．After school, I walked home, 8 about my father, who I would write about in my essay．

He sat with me in the 9 when I was a kid and had a nightmare （恶梦）．He 10 me with a new puppy （小狗） at my eighth birthday party．He sat and tried to 11 death to me when Grandpa Bob died．To me, he wasn't a world famous astronaut, 12 my dad．

I wrote about all these 13　 in my essay．

One of our neighbors said, "I 14 you will win the contest, David．You are the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astronaut．”I 15 ．

I hadn't shown anyone the essay, but now I almost hoped I wouldn't win．I didn't want to win just 16 my father was an astronaut．

I won the second prize．When I finished reading my essay, the audience （听众） applauded．I saw my father blowing his　 17 ．I went back to my seat．Dad nodded to me, 18 his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．"Son, this is the 19 moment of my life, he said．

It was the proudest moment of my life, too．Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was 20 just to be my father's son．

　　Did you ever notice that when you're fat, men don't look you in the eye? They look across your shoulder．There's no eye contact．

　　My name is Leslie．I am a real person．Up until two years ago, I was never looked in the eye, by anyone．

　　I was too tired to be a lover to my husband．I was falling asleep by 8 o'clock most evenings．When I did go out for an evening, my husband was ashamed of me．And he said so to my face．When I walked, my thighs scrape together．I couldn't even cross my legs．I was fat．Not just “overweight”．I was 5'55 tall and weighed 205 pounds．

　　About 18 months ago, my husband Darrell left a “Dear Leslie” letter on my bed and asked for divorce．

　　I went to a psychologist for advice．I knew that my weight was the source of my troubles．But I'd tried 14 different diets, at which I failed one by one．

　　He listened carefully and recommended an entirely different program．This was not a “diet．” It was a unique new weight-loss program researched by a team of specialists who help to treat the severely fat．I entered the program．Within the first four days, I lost only three pounds．So I was disappointed．But during the three weeks that followed, my weight began to drop from 205 pounds to 124 pounds．To me it was a miracle．

　　The reason the program worked was simple．I was always eating．I could eat six times every day．I could snack in the afternoon．Snack before dinner．I could even have snack at night while watching TV．

　　How can you eat so much and still lose weight?

　　The secret is in the combination of foods, approved by the research team, which you eat in each 24 hour period．You will enjoy a variety of meats, chicken, fish, vegetables, potatoes, sauces．Even some light wine or beer if you wish．But be sure to have them in the right proportion (比例), thus a complete 24-hour fat-reduction cycle is formed．

　　Without hunger, without nervousness, it lets you lose pounds so easily．Once you lose the weight, you'll keep it off．Forever, I am sure of that．
