Manage your time well for each module(单元), but also make sure you get a good balance between work and social life. That is vital for life in general.

Set aside time specifically for each subject. Try to study one subject a day. You need to balance time. If you are bad at balancing things, make a personal timetable. Even if you do not stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not achieve anything. Also, try to keep your weekends free of studying. Only study at the weekend if you really have to.

I had to learn to balance work, study and family when I was at college. I was a retail assistant working part-time and had at least four modules to complete at the same time at college. I also had to help around the house doing household cleaning and shopping at times. I managed to finish my college work on time, which was very difficult and hard, and still hold down a job.

Why was it possible? Because I only thought about my part-time work when I was at work on the weekends and my college work had to be done from Mondays to Fridays before the weekends. This was hard—but you need to set a timetable for yourself. It was an achievement when I finally realized that things have to be done in order, and need to be organized as well.

Balancing study and other aspects(方面) of your life can be a problem if you have a job or a family, but planning in advance is helpful. Use the time you have well. Do not leave anything until the last minute, as this will only cause problems.

55.The underlined word“vital”(in Paragraph 1) means_____________.

  A.common                B.necessary                   C.easy                   D.difficult

56.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the advice the writer gives?

  A.Try to study many subjects in a day.                   B.Try not to study on the weeekends.

C.Plan in advance.                                         D.Try to set a timetable.

57.It could be inferred from the passage that__________.

  A.the writer has a part-time job as an assistant when he was at college

B.you need to set a timetable for yourself

C.you should make a personal timetable if you are bad at balancing your time

D.the writer can arrange his time well when he was at college

58.What is the passage mainly about?

  A.I had a good time during my college.

B.How to study well at college.

C.Balance time between study and other aspects of your life.

D.How to plan your things in advance.
