     No one has enough, but everyone has all there is. We each have just twenty-four hours in a day. Time
is not our problems , but what we do with the limited time we have is the issue. Many people spend their
days on dozens of activities , but achieve very little because they aren't concentrating on right things. The
Pareto Principle, also known as the 80:20 Rule shows us that typically eighty per cent of unfocused effort
generates only twenty percent of the results. The remaining eighty per cent of the results are achieved
with only twenty percent of the effort . To effectively manage your time, you need to change where you
are spending your time. We all have the same amount of time every day. How you spend your time is
how you spend your life. Here are time management strategies, which may be helpful.
     Learn to say no
     Politely say no should become a habit. Saying no frees up time for the things that are most important.
     Make a "to-do" list
     List the tasks that need to be done in order of their importance. Save other less important things for
when you have time.
Minimize interruption
Plan ahead. Think through projects. Look for ways to "block" interruptions. For example, close your
door, don't answer the phone or work in a different space.
Combine several activities
   Try to do several activities at one time. While going to school,listen to taped notes. This allows up to an
hour or two a day of good study review. While showering,make a mental list of the things. Above all,be
creative,and let it work for you.

    No air means death. Although we can't see it, there is air around us. So air is everything and it gives life to every living thing. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health.

    In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the roads. The gas which the cars spread out is full of poison. Every day we breathe it in again and again. This makes us feel sick.

    Besides so many cars, there are many factories too. From chimneys (煙囪) of these factories, we get the smoke usually in black and grey colour. This kind of smoke, when it mixes the air ,is dangerous to our health. It is because smoke contains many poisonous solids and gases.

      No one wants to be tested. We would all like to get a driver' s license without answering questions
about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors
probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam.
     But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful
products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a constructive role. They tell public
officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to
pay off. They tell teachers what their students have learned -- and have not. They tell parents how their
children are doing compared with others of their age. They encourage students to make more effort.
     It is important to recall that for most of this century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which
children should get a high - quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children
were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions
of children were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history,
literature and foreign language.
     This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access
to a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise
their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family.
     In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students
because of the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction
in after-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states are
increasing teachers' salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education.
     Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable
to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or
graduate from high school.

1. According to the passage, school exams enable ______.

A. teachers to understand if their students have made efforts
B. parents to compare their kids' behavior across schools
C. students to meet their teachers' requirements
D. governments to make right policies

2. "Dumbed - down programs" in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which       .

A. lead to high-quality education  
B. are less academically challenging
C. are intended for intelligent students        
D. enable children to make steady progress

3. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A. Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests.
B. Tests should focus on what students have actually learned.
C. Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education.
D. Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones.

4. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To re-assess the value of IQ testing.
B. To defend the role of testing in education.
C. To explain what high-quality education means.
D. To call for thorough and complete reform in education.

     No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,  but estimates (估計(jì))  suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double
the total population of Canada.
     In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something
that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
     Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The
longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may
have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards
them.
    Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,
imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you
cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their
ability, not their disability, which counts.
1. The first paragraph points out that           . 
A. there are many disabled people in the world 
B. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
C.India has much more disabled people than Canada
D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people
2. The key word in paragraph 4 is           .    
A. disability
B. ignorance
C. prejudice
D. barriers
3. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means "        ".     
A. is most important
B. is considered
C. is included
D.is numbered
4. It can be concluded from the passage that           . 
A. we should try our best to prevent disability
B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
