阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Quit while you're ahead

　　I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no．I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be doing．I get work done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time．

That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter．

　　Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end．I aspire(渴望?)to be the opposite of that．The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there's no value in what he's doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important．

　　A friend of mine once told me, "I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it．" Strange though it sounds, we all tend to do this．We get involved in something, realize we don't want to be a part of it, but keep on going．We say "Well, I've already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out．"

　　I propose the opposite： quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested．If you're reading a book, and don't like it, stop reading．Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more, and quit．Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one．Isn't that a better use of your time?

　　Step back for a second．Let's learn how to say "no" at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we'd like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing．Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder．If we do both, we'll start to make sure that we're spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses．Let's be quitters together．

(1)

The author wants to be a quitter, because he ________．
[　　]
A．	hopes to improve his personality
B．	wishes to have more time for relaxation
C．	expects to make more efficient use of his time
D．	has found it hard to do several things at one time

(2)

In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
[　　]
A．	When you feel tired and need a rest．
B．	When you know a task cannot be finished．
C．	When you meet with difficulties along the way in your life．
D．	When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time．

(3)

If you stop reading a book you hate, the author might think that ________．
[　　]
A．	you are wise to cut your losses
B．	it's a pity that you have wasted so much time
C．	you should finish a book that you have started
D．	you should regret choosing the wrong book

(4)

The message the author tries to convey is to ________．
[　　]
A．	learn to say no
B．	live your life to the fullest
C．	create more value
D．	stop doing many things at once

What’s the Matter with Kids Today?

Dear Michelle,

Why can’t my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and a top student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back. He uses up every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talk(对花言巧语) her as well.

His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choices will be limited.

I want to save her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy, and now this! Help!

A worried mother

Dear Mother of a 17-year-old girl,

“Hmm…. What’s the matter with kids today?” Remember that song from Bye Bye Birdie?

Well, if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the young age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be. Both the conditions and the skills for life-management result from life experience, and if management goes before experience there would be little of it.

Your daughter is a top student for good reasons. She is smart and studies with intelligence and you have given her good values.

When the time comes for her to choose her college, and she visits the ones that were designed for students at the top of their game, she will most probably break away from her boyfriend’s influence.

Few top students would change their life path just because of puppy love(早恋).

That being said, there might be some childish wisdom in what she is doing after all.

Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for the reason that she does not know herself. Being such a good girl and being always a source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.

Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11^th grade rebellion. It’s not unreasonable for her to break from perfection.

Michelle

56. From the mother’s letter we know that the 17-year-old girl ____.

A. is staying with the boy day and night B. wants to stay with the boy at college

C. is falling behind in her studies D. does not like to talk with her mother

57. According to Michelle, a 17-year-old girl is too young to ____.

A. fall in love B. have life-management skills

C. fail life-management problems D. experience anything

58. Michelle seems to believe the 17-year-old girl will finally ____.

A. come up with the right decision B. be persuaded by her boyfriend

C. take her mother’s advice D. make her boyfriend follow her choice

59. By saying “childish wisdom”, Michelle means the girl might be trying to show her parents that she _____.

A. has become tired of studying hard B. can’t be always obeying them

C. likes her boyfriend very much D. is always perfect
