Ways to save time
We all wish we had just a bit more time.Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on. But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
1.Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7; 30 a.m.try getting up at 7:00 a.m.That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.
2.Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones).You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
3.Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
4.
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
When you're working, work.If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit.And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.
| A.Stay Focused on Your Work |
| B.Take Breaks When Necessary |
| C.If you have an office door, close it. |
| D.If you work like this, you'll usually save time. |
E.Would you want me to make your day longer?
F.I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

读写任务(共1题,满分25分)
阅读下面摘自China Daily的一则信息,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The Ministry of Education said on Monday that starting this spring, a system of recycling textbooks will be established in rural primary and secondary schools, which means some textbooks will be given to students by the schools free of charge at the start of a term and be returned at the end of the school term so that they can be used by other students.
The central government will set up a fund for the purchase of these textbooks, and the students will be required to keep the books in good order for their reuse by others.
It is a heartening move with two major benefits.
First, it will lighten the financial burden on government and families. Textbook costs account for 53 percent of all the fees primary school students must pay and about 65 percent of those facing middle school students.
Second, using secondhand books is environmentally friendly because of the resources such as trees and energy that are saved. According to industry figures, producing one ton of texbook paper requires 20 trees aged between 20 to 40 years, 100 tons of water, 1.2 tons of coal and other materials and churns out 300 tons of polluted water.

第二节读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Perhaps you do not know your school principal well. But you might be wise to take him or her seriously. Peking University will enroll students recommended by high school principals this year. Oh November 16, 2009 Peking University released a list of 39 high school principals in 10 provinces who have the chance to recommend students. If the students recommended pass a round of interviews by Peking University, they will have an extra 30 points added to their national college entrance exam scores if they apply to the university after the exam. Peking University said the reason behind the move was a desire to give students with comprehensive and special abilities a chance to stand out.
However, a survey conducted by leading Chinese web portal sina. Com showed 10,046 out of 14,227 people surveyed were against the new idea. Most said the recommendations were unfair on other students. Xue Yong, a Peking University alumni who is now an assistant professor at Suffolk University, told Qianjiang Evening News the experiment could be dangerous if it is abused. But Qu Jun, former deputy director of Shanghai municipal education commission, said the experiment represents much needed change to the existing university entrance system, which had been criticized for years.
