What you do each morning affects your entire day. The choices that we repeatedly make determine the life we live. 26
1. Manage your energy, not your time.
If you think about it, you’ll probably realize that you are better at doing certain tasks at certain times. For example, my creative energy is highest in the morning, so that’s when I do my writing each day. However, I spend my afternoons on phone calls, and emails, which don’t need my creative energy to be high. 27 What task is that energy best suited for?
2. Prepare the night before.
It is really necessary to spend a few minutes each night organizing your to–do list for tomorrow. When I do it , I’ll outline the article I’m going to write the next day and develop a short list of the most important items for me to do. 28
3. 29
Sounds simple, yet nobody does it. It took me a while to get over the urge(渴望) to open my inbox, but finally I realized that everything can wait a few hours. Nobody is going to email you about a true emergency (a death in the family, etc.), so leave your email alone for the first few hours of each day.
4. Turn your phone off.
This reduces the urge to check text messages. This simple method reduces the possibility that you waste time on meaningless tasks.
You’ve got 25, 000 mornings. 30
A. Don’t open email until noon.
B. What will you do with each one?
C. Leave your phone in another room.
D. What type of energy do you have in the morning?
E. Try your best to finish your work in the morning.
F. It takes 10 minutes that night and saves 3 hours the next day.
G. Here are the methods that I’ve found to get the most out of my morning.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day. on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.
Mother’s Day was announced a day for national celebration by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation(康乃馨).
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father’s Day as a national memorial day, in 1972.
These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (burying ground). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days’ of fun and good feelings and memories.
24. According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is not true?
A. It is a day to show love to mothers.
B. It is a day to wear carnations.
C. It is a day for all people to visit the cemetery.

b. Mother’s Day was announced a day for national celebration.
c. Father’s Day became a day for national celebration.
d. The idea of honoring fathers was brought up.
A. abcd B. dabc C. bacd D. dacb

Many people find that the foods in China are very different from what they were used to in their home country. With all of the restaurants in the cities, it can be tempting（诱人的） to eat out and not always make the best healthy food choices. When living in China, here are some tips that can help you eat healthier.
Making healthy choices.
First, try to avoid as much of the fried food as possible at a restaurant though it is often delicious. If you have a choice between rice and noodles with your meal, always choose rice. Plain white steamed rice is the best choice, as it is a simple food without added fats. Choose dishes with plenty of vegetables, and focus heavily on green leafy vegetables, as these are very low in calories while full of vitamins. You have to be careful when choosing meats, as they are often fried and can be full of fat. Plus, meats are often cooked with sauces, including soy sauce, which is high in sodium（钠）.
____________
If you are living in China, chances are that you will want to cook at least half of your meals yourself. This will give you a better chance to control the things used in your foods, so that you are sure that they are healthy and low in calories and fats. There are also many delicious fresh vegetables and fruits to try in China that you can get at the market. Experiment and try some vegetables that you’ve never had before. You can get a Chinese cookbook or look online for interesting recipes for help. With just a little effort, you’ll find that it’s not only possible to eat healthily in China, but that it can also be quite delicious and a lot of fun.

Samuel looked at his sister, Emily, and said, “I wouldn’t have thought Everett would be a thief.” Emily replied, “Whoa, we don’t know that for sure.” Samuel said, “But who else could it be? He was there, he had them in his hands, and now they are missing.”
Samuel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Everett to see. At the end of that day, Samuel’s mother asked him to take a note to Mr. Bates down the street, so he asked his friend, “Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?” Everett had said, “Go ahead. I’ll clean up here,” pointing at the piles of coins on the floor. When Samuel had returned, he had done his homework, had eaten dinner, and had read for a while before bed. It was not until two days later that he realized the quarters were gone.
Emily said, “Why don’t you just ask him?” “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you steal my coin collection?” Samuel thought for a moment, deciding if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of betrayal (背叛). “How could I have misjudged my friend?”
The next day Samuel went over to Everett’s house. Everett was acting funny. In fact, Samuel thought Everett was acting like someone with a secret. Suddenly, Everett cried, “I can’t stand it anymore!” and pulled something from underneath the chair. “Go on — open it! I was going to wait until your birthday tomorrow, but I can’t wait!”
Slowly, Samuel lifted the top of the box. Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own place in a new collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new.
Samuel felt heat rush over his neck and ears. He weakly said, “Thank you — this means ... a great deal to me.” He was thankful that Everett had cut him off before he said something bad. Everett was exactly the type of person he wanted as a friend!
8．From Paragraph 1-3, we know that ________.
A. Samuel’s coins were missing B. Everett had stolen Samuel’s coins
