William Shakespeare once wrote, “Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.” While this may be a stretch, the principle is correct. 1
Throughout your life, you will encounter similar circumstances that require punctuality, such as handing in homework assignments; arriving at school, a job or a meeting; picking up someone from the airport, school, work, etc. avoid embarrassing moments by ridding yourself of any tendency to be late.
Here are some tips:
● Learn to manage your time wisely, which includes setting deadlines. There are a fixed number of minutes in a day---and only one of you. 2
● 3This ensures they do not assume that you will be available for other projects.
● Procrastination(拖延) is a thief of time---avoid it at all costs! This includes waiting until the last second to start a task simply because you find it unpleasant.
4Worrying about it will not accomplish anything!
● Before agreeing on a particular time for something, think about other events that might interfere.
● Try counting back from the scheduled time to figure out when you should begin getting ready. 5For example, if you are scheduled to be at work at 9:00 a.m., a 30-minute car ride makes it 8:30, 15 minutes to eat breakfast makes it 8:15, and 30 minutes for grooming(洗刷) makes it 7:45, and so on.
| A．If a task is difficult, do it first. |
| B．It is always better to be early rather than late. |
| C．Make sure others are aware of your deadlines. |
| D．A few minutes delay may not be a serious matter. |
E. Moreover, habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence (懒散) and even failure in life.
F. Do not worry about the particular order of events; just assign(分配) time values to each.
G. Taking on too many responsibilities means that something will not be finished on time.

This report presents details of home computers used by a random sample (随机抽样) of young people. It is a common idea that teenagers today know about computers and know how to use them in all aspects of their lives. We decided to try to find out whether that was true.All the teenagers we chose said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they spent on their computers in an average week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for. The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user averaging 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours.
Fourteen teenagers told us they did some word processing at home, but not very much. Only 2 of them said that computers helped them with their studies, while 8 of them told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 of them said they were learning to program computers, and nobody looked up information (other than their address lists).
The results indicate quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than game machines. It seems to us that, although computers are common in the homes of teenagers, they have not yet become useful tools in everyday life.
| A．There no big difference between boys and girls. |
| B．All of the teenagers questioned said they regularly used to play games. |
| C．We questioned thirty young people between 14 and 18. |
| D．But some adults admitted that they had no computers at home. |
E. None of them used their computers for any other purpose.
F. I don’t know how important a computer is for teenagers.
G. The other important users are for word processing and organizing address lists.

As we know, sport is very common in our daily life. People who usually compete in sports can be found everywhere. Why so many people love sports? __1__
Generally speaking, it is good for our health to do sports, such as basketball, football, table tennis, swimming, badminton, and so on. __2__ I have taken the swimming course this term, since I didn’t know how to swim. I find that swimming is very interesting and has many benefits for our bodies. On one hand, it can make our blood circulatory system run regularly. On the other hand, the muscles of our bodies can be massaged(按摩) under the pressure of water. All these are positively advantageous to our health.
__3__ It is known to us that some sports are team sports that involve several players or even more. When playing with others, people must face the situation of getting along with others. Through the sport games, strangers may go easily with others and make friends with each other. __4__ If you don’t know what to do, doing exercises may be a good idea because you can share the time and the fun with your friends.
__5__Yes, that’s right. But the advantages of sports are more than its disadvantages. We should follow the lead of sports athletes, as sports play an essential role in our life. Plenty of physical exercise will help you keep fit.
| A．I think I love the sports deeply. |

1Men lie; women lie．Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie．A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week．
Dr．Robert G．Newby, a professor of sociology , believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women．"Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that," he says．"And they want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good. 2 ”
Women, on the other hand, Dr．Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face．Women are more easily hurt and they are not as likely to try to cheat like men．
Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently．" 3They plan better," Callender notes. "They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. " Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. 4
Dr Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.
" 5Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything said needs to be true," he says.
| A．Be truthful at any cost. |
| B．Men also lie to each other. |
| C．Everyone lies from time to time. |
| D．Women are much more careful in their lies. |
E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.
F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn't have to.
G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. 2Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
2. Have fewer meetings.
3And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. 4
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed.
5
| A．Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary. |
| B．Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”. |
| C．The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations. |
| D．But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life. |
E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
F. Pick 2—3 important things---or even just one important thing---and work on those first.
G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
