Passage 12

(2007年北京海淀区高三年级第一学期期末C篇)

The words “timetable” and　 “schedule” make most final year students want to eat their own vomit(呕吐物). Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you don’t have a schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected arises. A well-thought-ge it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.

　　　 A good timetable should make every hour count-every class ,social event and other activity you engage in .You must focus on the other “free time” available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and divided each day into one-hour increments .Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This gives you a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances need.

　　　 The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available time in the most productive manner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but don’t dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule you’ve prepared .A good deal of your success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.

　　　 Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it progressively deteriorates(减弱). After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way, you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.

　 　　 A．important technique about spacewalk remains uncertain in spite of researches．

　 　　 B．spacewalk is the only factor that leads to Shenzbou Ⅶ mission's complexity．

　 　　 C．due to Shenzhou Ⅶ's inability，it's uncertain how to broadcast the spacewalk．

　 　　 D．our country is getting along quite well with developing spaceship and rockets
