阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）
[1]For thousands of young people everywhere, college means taking their first big step into adult life. What you do in your first year of college can have a big effect on the rest of your college years. Here are some tips of mine for you.
[2]Plan ahead. By the end of your first week, you’ll know when you should finish each of your study tasks. Put those on your list. More importantly, you need to finish them on time. Start making good use of your time at the beginning of the term.
[3]Eat right. College students often gain weight in their first year. Without Mom and Dad planning your meals, it’s easy to lose track of just how many calories you’re taking in. Try to limit the fast food and keep a varied diet.
[4]Talk to your professors. College students tend to be afraid of their professors. Don’t be. They’re there to help you. Visit a professor during his or her office hours just to chat now and again. Tell them about a book you have read, or ask for advice. And, of course, ask for help, whether with a tricky point in your readings or with big life issues（问题）. If nothing of these, a professor can point you in the right direction to find the resources（资源）you need.
[5] Speak up in class. Ask questions, answer the professor’s questions, and share your opinion as much as possible. There are no points for sitting quietly anymore.
　　[6] ________. There are so many resources available（可得到的） in the library – magazines, videos, and of course, the books you need for your papers. Learn as much as you can about your library. Talk with the librarians about the resources available in your field.

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.   __【小题1】__
Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that's not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. __【小题2】__
Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. __【小题3】__. Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue”is worth the investment (投资). However, it's important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
__【小题4】__ Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary，because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. __【小题5】__ If the grocery list is a short one，some shoppers choose to use the small hand­held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

Question: Before graduation, I decided to be a useful man for our country. However, when I applied for some positions, I was turned down. Only then did I realize it was not easy to achieve my dream.     1     Now I even don’t have the courage to try a new position. How can I find the power to continue my dream?
Answer: I can understand the situation you are in. You feel your life lacks the power that you want and the motivation that you need.      2     
By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive (动机) to work towards on your goals.      3     
Your life can be improved, and your happiness enriched when you choose to change your views. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously alone.     4     Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not just about control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust.     5     Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life.
