When Mr. David retired（退休）,he bought a small house in a village near the sea. He liked it and hoped to live a quiet life in it.

From morning to night there were tourists outside the house. They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. David’s garden. This was too much for Mr. David.

Time is the easiest thing in the world to waste—the most difficult to control. When you look ahead, it may appear you have 36        you need. Yet it has a way of slipping 37        your fingers like quicksand. You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have 38        to cover all your obligations. For example, 39           a beginning student looking ahead to a full term you may feel that you have an oversupply of time on your hands.40      toward the end of the term you may be 41         because you are running out of time. How can you do? —Control!
Time is 42        . If you don't control it, it will control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will 43        you. You must become the master of time, not the servant. “Study hard and play hard” is an old saying, but it still 44       . You have plenty of time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time 45        . It is not how much time you allocate for study that 46          but how much you learn when you do study.
Too much wasted time is 47         medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is to continue wasting time.  Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can't 48        . You  will be       49       to wasting time. When this happens, you 50      your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule. Some students 51          to hear the time message. They refuse to 52        the fact that college life demands some53         of time control. There is no escape. So what's the next step? If you seriously want to get the time message, the next passage will give it to you. 54      — it will not only improve your grades but also free you to 55           college life more.

One Saturday afternoon in February, 1943, a farmer in Mexico stopped working for a moment and looked across his fields of corn. Suddenly he saw a thin line of white smoke curling up out of his field, about 200 feet from where he stood. As he went toward the smoke to see what it was, he heard a strange noise. The line of smoke became bigger. It looked as if some great force were pushing it up into the sky.
The farmer rushed home to get his wife. While he was urging his wife to hurry from the house, the earth shook violently. When he stood up after the earth stopped shaking, he looked across the field and saw that great flames were rising from his cornfield. A volcano was being born!

John Smith was lazy. He had finished his education and was happy to sit in his room and listen to the radio all day long. In fact, he had been doing nothing for almost six months, which worried his father a lot. One day Mr Smith decided that he had to do something. “Johnny, When I was your age 1 was working and supporting my ten brothers and sisters. I want you to go out and get a job.” So that was what he did. In fact, in the next three months, Johnny started ten jobs and was fired from ten jobs. He explained to his father.
“They wanted me to be at work at 8:00 a. m. and told me to do all sorts of unpleasant things.”
“I don’t care how you do it,” Mr Smith said. “Either you earn some money or move out of the house. I gave you one week’s time.”
In the next few days Johnny began to change. He still stayed in his room all day, but spent his time writing letters and reading through the newspapers. More and more posts began to arrive for him. He bought a new suit for himself and invited his parents to the theatre and for dinner afterwards at the most expensive restaurant in town. When his proud parents arrived home after their evening hour, a policeman was waiting at the front door.
“John Smith,” he said as he handed him a piece of paper, “I’ll see you in the court tomorrow.”
When he got outside, Johnny told his parents everything.
“When you told me to earn some money, 1 decided to put an advertisement in the newspaper saying, ‘New way to money fast! Send me $ 5 and I’ll tell you my secret.’ When I received the money I wrote back telling people to do as I do.”
Johnny was fined $ 250 by the court and was ordered to pay all the people back. As he left the court house feeling very ashamed, a newspaper man came up to him, “Young man, would you like to tell your story to my newspaper for $ 2500?”

Most people trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts, and shows are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning(瀏覽) should give you some pleasant surprises.
People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Walk through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world. you will certainly see people of every age, size and shape, and you will get a free fashion show, too. window-shopping is also a safe sport—if the stores are closed.
Check the listing in your neighborhood paper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won’t cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial(商業(yè)的) advertisements, too. A flea(跳蚤) market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking crafts demonstration in a department store.
Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know our city all over again including the indispensable sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in a new perspective once you know more about its history or its architectural(建筑的) treasures. With imagination and spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.
小題1: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy without spending much money.
B．You should be a tourist if you want to know more about the city you live in.
C．The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge.
D．Local colleges often hold meetings to debate the issues people are interested in.
小題2:“You will certainly see people of every age, size and shape.” “Shape” here refers to people
being ____.
A．old and youngB．beautiful and uglyC．tall and shortD．fat or thin
小題3:If you are wandering through the busy street, which attract you most?
A．Various buildings.B．Car driving.C．Free walking.D．Window-shopping.
小題4: The best title for the passage is ____.
A．Amusement at No CostB．Movies, Concerts and Shows
C．The Cheapest Window-shoppingD．The Most Enjoyable Street Musicians
