1.My students often tell me that they do not have"enough time"to do all their homework.My response often is"You have as much time as the president."I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone,and suggest that"not enough time"is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school,I tried to prove to my professor that I was working hard.His answer was"That's irrelevant (不相干).What's important is the quality of your work."That led me to a new idea:the quality of the work,which is perhaps best explained in a sign:"Don't work harder.Work smarter."
If you can't get more time,as few of us can,the only solution is to improve the quality of your work.That means improving ways to get more out of the same time.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits,which for students should be read as"study habits".
Then as a smart student,you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study,chiefly reading and writing.If you can,it will pay off in all your subjects.
As to improving reading,one suggestion is to take a quick nap when you feel reading puts you to sleep,which later helps you read better.The second solution is to speed up.
But there are other issues.First,you need to find a place where you can work without unnecessary disturbances.Second,you need to take control.Success depends on realizing that you have to take active control over what you are doing.Third,you might as well get hold of a good book on reading and master the reading skills that pay off in all your classes.
Talking about advice on good writing habits,you simply have to master the writing skills.Increasing your efficiency in both reading and writing will pay off immediately in terms of the quality of your work and in terms of the time spent doing it.Then you will be able to do better work in less time.And maybe you will find time to play golf with the president.

57.What's the main idea of the passage?B
A.In fact,everyone has as much time as the president.
B.The key to having enough time is to improve work quality.
C.Reading and writing matter a lot in finishing homework.
D.Not having enough time is unacceptable for unfinished work.
58.According to the author,the students do not have enough time to get their work done mainly becauseA.
A.they lack good learning habits
B.they only have 24hours a day
C.they feel sleepy while reading
D.they are not good at writing
59.The author believes a most important way for a student to improve work quality is toA.
A.develop reading and writing skills
B.find a quiet place to read and write
C.take control over his or her work
D.read and write in all classes
60.According to the passage,"Don't work harder"means thatD.
A.one should not be more devoted to one's work
B.one should not spend more time in working
C.working harder is not allowed in our daily life
D.working harder is not the key point in work.

9.McDonald's is the owrld single biggest food provider with annual sales of around$12.4bn.And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now the world's most recognized person after Santa Claus.
The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino,California,in 1948 by brothers Mac and Dick McDonald.Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius.He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising.Now he spotted the gap in the post-war,baby-boom marker for cheap,family-orientated restaurants with simple menus,standardized food and efficient service.
After a slow start,business began to boom.By 1954,the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur,a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer,milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain.A year later,Kroc had bought the McDonald brthers'chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around$70m(£44m).Dick remained with the company until the Seventies,when he and Kroc Fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.
Today,an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984)at McDonald's,while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history.But though Kroc did not found McDonald's,he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination.He ushered in such essential contrbutions to international cuisine as the Big Mac(1968)and the Egg McMuffin (1937);and helped launch Ronald McDonald-"in any language he means fun"-on to television in 1963.
Every three hours,a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India(vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace)and Israel(non kosher,despite fierce local objection).McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting,can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as"If you've got time to lean,you've go time to clean."
61.What's the main idea of the passage?D
A.Where can McDonald's go in the future?
B.How McDonald's was founded.
C.How McDonald's was distributed to the world.
D.McDonald's start and development.
62.McDonald's was foundedB.
A.by a kitchen equipment salesman
B.by two brothers in California
C.before the first world war
D.a(chǎn)fter the first World War
63.What do we know about McDonald's brothers?C
A.They were not McDonald's founders although they named the restaurant.
B.Their business was still in depression after several years.
C.They had clear job separation on business.
D.They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.
64.Which is not Kroc's contribution to McDonald's?C
A.He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.
B.Under his lead,international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame.
C.He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap,family-orientated restaurants.
D.He built McDonald's empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.
65.Which statement is true according to the passage?D
A.The single biggest food provider was however,not named after its founder.
B.The international cuisine as the Big Mac,a beef hamburger,is provided every chain restaurant in the world.
C.Employees in McDonald's have no time to lean.
D.The symbol Ronald McDonald,which means fun in any laguage,is said to be the world's most recognized person after Santa Claus.

16.The 1980s was called the"Me Decade"because for many this time was marked by a fascination with the self.The idea that each person has a self may seem natuaral to us,but this concept is actually quite new.The idea that each human life is unique developed between the 11th and 15th centuries in Europe.Before that time,individuals were considered in relation to a group,and even today,many eastern cultures place more emphasis on the importance of a collective self than on a unique and independent self.
Both eastern and western cultures see the self as divided into an inner,private self and an outer,public self.But where they differ is in terms of which part is seen as the"real you."Western culture tends to promote the idea of individuality-a self that is separated from other selves.In contrast,many eastern cultures focus on an inter-independent self that gets its diversity in large part from inter-relationship with others.
For example,a Confucian(孔子) idea stresses the importance of"face"-other people's views of the self and maintaining one's desired status in their eyes.In the past,some Asian cultures developed clear rules about the specific clothes and even colors that people in certain social classes and occupations were allowed to display,and these live on today in Japanese style manuals.This style of dress is  at odds with  such western practices as"casual Fridays,"which encourage employees to dress informally and express their unique selves.

57.Which is true about the self according to the text?A.
A.Many eastern cultures see the self connected with others.
B.Those born in the 1980s are generally most self-centered than others.
C.The concept that eac person has a self may seem strange to eastern cultures
D.Western cultures regard the self as an outer,public self while eastern cultures don't.
58.What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about?A.
A.How eastern and western cultures see the self.
B.Eastern cultures contrast sharply with western cultures
C.Both eastern and western cultures appreciate the importance of self
D.Eastern cultures are as important as western cultures
59.A Japanese dress code is mentioned in the last paragraph toD.
A.explain the importance of"face"
B.say how traditional the Japanese are
C.emphasize the importance of eastern cultures
D.show how eastern cultures see the self in relation to others
60.The underlined phrase"at odds with"most probably meansB.
A.in agreement with     B.in disagreement with
C.in comparison with    D.in need of.
