How to Create a Study Schedule—Summer Study Routine
Summer is here and for a lot of people it's a time to have a vacation and relax. But if you need to study. it's very important to create a study schedule so you have enough time for your studies as well as time to enjoy your break. When you're making your own study schedule, here are some tips to keep in mind.
The first is to start early. Some students leave all their work until the last few days of the summer. As soon as you're able, get started with your schedule. The sooner you start, the sooner all your work is done and you're free to do whatever you want during the holidays.
The second tip is to create a list of everything that needs to get done. You can, for example, write everything in the order of time and separated by subject.
The third tip is to plan it out. Make a schedule using a calendar or Excel. Design it to what suits you the best and make it something you want to follow. When you're doing this, plan your time using two kinds of time blocks: free time and fixed time. Free time is when you have other summer activities and relax. Fixed time is when you need to do something which you've determined beforehand regardless of most situations. That's up to you to decide and depends on the goals you've set up for yourself.
The last tip is to stick with it. The best way to follow your study plan is by being motivated to use it! Reward yourself for completing the things and cross them off your schedule. If you can get something done sooner, go ahead. But if you miss a day, don't feel guilty about it. Remember that this is your break and you don't need to work 24/7.
What are your plans for this summer?
A. It could be daily, weekly or monthly.
B. You might need fewer hours or more hours.
C. However, don't be afraid to make changes to it.
D. As a result, they panic about not having enough time.
E. You should schedule one hour of fixed time each day.
F. Where possible, put your fun activities in advance of study hours.
G. This way you can see everything you need to cover in the study plan.
After working an inhuman 8-hour shift at a factory unloading (卸货) parts for cheap furniture, I got on the bus, dirty, tired and hot. I1that place every day looking like I worked in a coal mine.2, I still felt a bit proud of myself as I had held this tiring job for 3months, which was extremely rare. So when I took my seat on the bus going home, I decided my3life would not lower my spirits today.
I was dreaming about a better and new life when I was4by our new passenger. She was a middle-aged woman with worn-out clothes and messy hair. She got on, aggressively and5pushed her way into a front seat, and then turned her glare and6on whoever dared to look her way.
All I could feel for this woman was7. There was no disgust. Only pity and the familiar knowledge of being faceless, nameless, and8to no one. Suddenly, she turned her threatening eyes towards me and very loudly yelled, "Why you so9man?"
With a smile, I said, "I just came from work." She then loudly asked if I worked in hell and broke out in laughter, so I laughed too10her and told her that was funny. Then I asked her her name as I11why I was so dirty. Her name was Karen.
In front of all of us on the bus that day, the power of12showed its beauty. In front of all of us this woman13. Her language, her posture, and her voice, even the way she tilted (倾斜) her head when I spoke to her as a14changed.
As Karen was getting off the bus, she touched me15on the arm. With tear-filled eyes, she asked whether I'd be riding the bus the next day. I promised I16. We waved to each other and then I got what my life had needed all along: affirmation (认可).
Everyone on the bus had been watching us and then an old woman spoke to me, "Sir, you just changed that woman with your heart. She will never forget how you17her. You are great." Other passengers gave me thumbs-up signs showing their18.
That day was the first day when I realized I am19. People say I gave Karen something that day but actually she20me so much more. I now work in the field of mental health. I often tell the story of the power of kindness, and I talk about Karen and unlimited possibilities.

Last week, our class have a discussion about the celebrations to welcoming the former teachers and students. We wanted to organize a tea party in the classroom for all the former teachers or students. This would be an wonderful opportunity for them to meet new friends and talk together. We could find old photos for the school, teachers and students and make a display which we could put them up in the classroom. The visitors could then look around at the photo as they were enjoying their tea. This activity would popular because it would remind the visitors of the days when they spent together.
Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food .If your home doesn’t have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it’s time to repaint,go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while you’re at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent.And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.
37.The text is especially helpful for those who care about .
A.their home comforts B.their body shape C.house buying D.healthy diets

C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites
39.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

C.Use smaller spoons. D.Turn down the lights.

C.Effects of Self-awareness D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
Bill Javis took over our village news-agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.
Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.
He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.
“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.
For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”
I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.
1.Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ___________.
A.he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work
B.the shop had to be open when the morning papers came

2.You might say “hard luck” to someone who __________.
A.has just heard some very good news
B.is less fortunate than he or she ought to be
C.puts great effort into whatever he or she tries
D.fails through his or her own fault entirely
3.On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because ________.
A.he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing
B.he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at all
C.Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange
D.Bill stayed in his flat
4.From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?
A.The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.
B.Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.
C.The writer’s watch was fast.
D.Bill’s clock was wrong; it was very old.
I got into the teaching profession by choice. I was then in 9th grade, when my mathematics teacher asked me to take a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the teaching. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.
After my post graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. In fact, I feel it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a “Lecturer”, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.
On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that taking
lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology Lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before going to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam”.
To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences and new queries(疑问). I loved to explore their young minds, read their inquisitive faces when a particular topic seemed tough. It was very challenging to motivate them to take part in the classroom, think critically, question and also respect others’ point of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was very exciting to assure them that they really can. That is the reason, I love to teach.
28. From the first paragraph, we can know .
A. the author’s maths teacher was strict with him B. the author felt happy to teach the students
C. not all the teachers like students to ask questions D. the author in the beginning thought teaching boring
29. Why did the author refuse working as a software developer?
A. Because the salary was lower than that being a teacher.
B. Because the working conditions were quite bad.
C. Because he didn’t feel the same satisfaction as being a teacher.
D. Because he wanted to try more chance to challenge his value.
30. Which of the following statements is TURE?
A. The author looked down upon being a teacher at first.
B. The author taught knowledge about various subjects.
C. The author found teaching was easier than any jobs.
D. The author encouraged students to take part in outdoor activities.
31. What’s the best title of the passage?

C. An unforgettable teaching experience D. Why I love to work as a teacher
