High school students are some of the busiest people in the world. To get the most from all you do, you must be in control of your time. Otherwise decision that affect how well you play the game, what position you play and when you get to play will be decided for you. Your success in high school depends on your use of time. Here are some important things to remember.

·Begin each term by filling in a master plan. First fill in things you must do (classes, work, practice, etc. that you can’t change.) Then find the most effective use for these times.

·Set a regular time and place for study. This will save your time in the long run. If you have a study hall in your school, use it!

·Use daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most people for every hour of study done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night.

·Take breaks. Don’t plan marathon study time. Have a short rest before you study again.

·By using flash cards or summary sheets, you can use odd times to study while you’re waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up.

·If possible, plan study time with a partner. Choose your partner wisely however. Make sure you study, not socialize.

·Do the most difficult tasks for times when you are active. (For example, when you’re energetic, it will become easier to solve maths questions; when you’re tired, it will be impossible!)

·Make a daily checklist. Do the most important tasks first.

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.

My daughter was three years old. She was going to a playschool, which had day boarding facilities (寄宿设施). After    36   , the kids used to sleep for 2 to 3 hours. So she was very    37    and active in the evening and always wanted to    38    till mid-night. By that time, I was totally   39    after a whole day’s work in the office and at home.

One day, as usual she was not    40    to go to bed. She was crying aloud, “I want to play more. No    41    time now.” I hold her in my arms and wiped her tears. She had stopped crying. I told her, “   42    you sleep happily without crying, a beautiful    43    will come to you in your sleep.” While I was    44    the beauty of the angel （天使）, she lowered her    45    to my shoulder and she was asleep in a few minutes.

Many days passed. She used to sleep late, but    46    cried again while going to sleep.

One day, when coming back in the evening, I    47    she was feeling sleepy. Soon I cooked something for her and made her    48   . That day, she slept early.

I went to the    49    and prepared the dinner. Then, we also thought of going to bed early. Suddenly I saw a    50    smile on her face. Soon, she started   51    quietly. That was very    52   . Never had it happened like this. It lasted for a few    53   . Soon she  was deep in sleep.

The next morning she    54    early. Sitting in the bed she called me, “Mama, an angel had come to me yesterday. She    55    me on my forehead and her face was just like yours.”
