Organizing Yourself
Many new students find it hard to do all the study that has to be done; they find themselves putting off reading assignment, jumping from subject to another and rarely being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular study session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start studying efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work. Let us suppose that you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40—hour working week (a reasonable figure ,leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities).
You now have to decide how to divide the remaining 25 hours of private study .Naturally the decisions you make will change from week to week according to what essays have to be written and what reading has to be done. Many people find it helpful to draw up each week a seven—day timetable showing the occasions on which they will be working privately and the particular subjects that will be studying on each occasion .By checking such a plan at times during the week ,you can see what you have done and what you have still to do :the whole plan become more manageable .There are a number of places where you can study—college library ,public library ,home ,empty classrooms ,on bus or train –and each has several obvious advantages and disadvantages .The college library is least busy in the evening , on Wednesday afternoon ,and all day Friday and Saturday.
When you are deciding where to study ,keep the following suggestions in mind:
● Try to study always in the same place .After a while the familiar surroundings will help you to switch into the right frame of mind as soon as you sit down.
● Find somewhere with as few distractions as possible.
● Make sure that your study place has a good light and is warm (but not too warm )
and well aired.

Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power. One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog(肉猪) producers, grain farmers, potato farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs.
Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear(修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
67.According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______.
A.how much money they can earn from their products
B.whether to plant a certain kind of crop
C.when to sell their products
D.what livestock to raise
68.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.
B.Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.
C.Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.
D.Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do nothing without the help of computers on today’s farms.
69.According to the engineers, will be done by robots in the near future.
A.all farm work B.milking cows
C.some farm work D.most of the farm work
70.What is the best title for the whole passage?
A.Computer, Farmers’ Best Friend B.The Agricultural Revolution
C.Farmers in The Future D.Computers and Robots


Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.
Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.
Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.
Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.
Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent(独立的)spirit in their work.
Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.
64.Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?
A.Top managers. B.Language learners.
C.Serious educators. D.Science organizations.
65.The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ______
A.attracted to teaching B.tired of teaching
C.satisfied with teaching D.unhappy about teaching
66.Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years?
A.The University of Chicago. B.Stanford University.
C.Ohio State University. D.Nebraska University.

Michael Newman is trying to get ahead to provide for his family. He is a talented architect who willingly takes on projects with impossible deadlines in order to please his boss Ammer and secure a partnership in the firm. But all work and no play mean that Michael is missing spending time with the family. His wife Donna is trying to be available for swim meets, camping trips, tree house completion and some good old days. Ben and Samantha are his adoring children who just want to play with their dad.
After yet another long day filled with frustrations, Michael goes in search of a universal remote (万能遥控器) so that he can at least be in control of his TV. Only one store is open: Bed, Bath and Beyond – where he gets a very special universal remote.
There is a lot of power in Michael’s new toy; he can revisit old scenes from his past, put people on mute (无声的) and fast forward through the boring parts. He turns off the volume each time he argues with his wife. He fast – forwards through a boring family dinner. He skips ahead to avoid a bad cold. He jumps to the chapter where he gets a promotion. It’s all really great until the remote begins to use some of the specially programmed features – the remote starts predicting when Michael will use it, automatically hurtling (猛扔) him beyond life’s difficult and mundane moments. But most of our lives are difficult and mundane, so Michael is forced to travel years into the future. Eventually, he realizes the family dog has died and been replaced by another, that his kids have grown up, that his wife is married to someone else, and that he weighs 400 pounds. It happened while he wasn’t paying attention.
The movie is being sold as a comedy, but it essentially involves a workaholic who uses the universal remote to skip over all the bad things in his life and discovers in the process that he is missing life itself.
60.Why did Michael Newman decide to buy a universal remote?
A.To make his boss happy
B.To remember his life in the past
C.To see what his future life would be like
D.To escape from the hardships of his life

D.Michael is an irresponsible man.
63.The main purpose of the passage is to .
