Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you
may want to eat something before getting to work. ①Always do your homework before you get too tired.
Don't wait till very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is. If you
have more than an hour's work, you should give yourself ②a break after an hour. On the other hand, ③you
should work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.
    Don't put it off (推迟) until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your
mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of a week or until right
before a test, you will have too much to do. A little each night, enough to keep up with (跟上) what is
happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
    ④每天在同一个时间做作业. This will help you make it a habit. It will make part of your daily work
easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.

     There was a farmer. He had four sons.   2  The farmer was very worried about his sons, but he didn't know what to
do.
     The man grew old and fell ill. When he was dying (垂死的), he told all his sons that he hid (隐藏) lots of money on
his farm. After the farmer died, his son began to look for the money. They spent a few days digging (挖掘) the farm,
but could find nothing. A neighbor said to him "Since you dug the ground, why not plant some seeds (种子) in it?"
     The four sons planted the seeds in the ground. After a few weeks the seeds came up, and in a few weeks more the
seeds grow into plants. A few weeks later, the plants started to bear grains (谷物). Later the four sons harvested them
and sold them at the market.   3   At last, they knew what their farmer meant by his words.
