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(常規(guī)), or clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on. 1. 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 am, try getting up at 7：00 am. 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 planning to finish. 2.

2. Do the Important Tasks (任務)First

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent(緊急的) ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important things rather than on all those little urgent ones.

3. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

3. Reduce Interruptions(干擾)

If colleagues（同事） 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 thing like writing a letter. Frequent 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 voicemaill(語音信箱). 4. Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to start a conversation.

4. 5.

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, it is better for you to 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.

Sometimes you just want to get away. Your older brother and his friends are constantly camped in front of the TV, your baby sister won't stay out of your room, and you want some time for yourself.

One of the most recent social changes taking place in the world is social networking. Social networking has been in existence for at least 150 years, and probably longer than that. In the times before the invention of the computer and the World Wide Web (WWW), social networking was done in person. People who had similar likes and interests would gather together to share experiences, make new friends, and improve their businesses.

On the Internet, social networking websites made their first appearances during the late 1990s. The first major social networking website in the United States was MySpace. MySpace allowed its users to exchange messages, share pictures, and make new friends in a way that was never thought of in the past. With MySpace, people who did not go out much could reach out to others from their own homes.

In 2004, Facebook was created. It was first a website created for use by Harvard University’s students and teachers, but it soon expanded to include just about everyone. It is now larger than some of the largest companies in the world. It is a website that is changing all the time. Facebook has completely changed the way people stay connected with each other and the rest of the world. The way it works is simple. Users can set up a new account (賬戶) easily. All a new user needs is an email address to start. Once a person has created an account and his friend also has his own Facebook page, he can invite his friend by sending a request out to him. Once you get started, making new friends will come easily.

1.What can we learn about social networking?

A. It is not a new development.

B. It made World Wide Web famous.

C. It appeared because of the computers.

D. It helped people develop new interests.

2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. MySpace is less famous than Facebook.

B. MySpace greatly changed people’s lives.

C. MySpace led to the appearance of Facebook.

D. MySpace was improved by Harvard University’s students.

3.What do new users of Facebook need to create an account?

A. An email address.

B. His friend’s help.

C. High-speed network.

D. His friend’s Facebook page.

4.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. The way to be a Facebook user.

B. The importance of social networking.

C. Two important social networking websites.

D. The differences between MySpace and Facebook.

“Selfie” may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect，so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months，its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent，said Oxford dictionaries. However，its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.

According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself， often from a smart phone，and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures，sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions，such as large smiles or puckered lips(噘嘴).

Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do，and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful? In that one picture，somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society，we are so crazy about being perfect. But perhaps，with that one selfie，we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsome，beautiful，confident，smart，happy，and content. For that moment，everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased，for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.

A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask you what you love，the answers will most likely roll of your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds，music…your mom，your brother，your sister，your daughter，your best friend，your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said，“I love myself.”?

The poem hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. And I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However，the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”

1.According to the writer, we live in a society where ________.

A. selfie leads to success

B. a good image decides one’s status

C. one’s poor performance can be erased

D. being perfect is highly valued

2.The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies ________.

A. our pleasure to enjoy beauty

B. our need to love people around us

C. our tendency to ignore ourselves

D. our real love to share with others

3.What does the underlined word “credit” in the last paragraph mean?

A. praiseB. gradeC. trustD. fame

4.In the writer’s opinion, selfie ________.

A. brings about people’s sense of confidence

B. is merely popular among teenagers

C. tells the true meaning of life

D. is an annoying phenomenon on the Internet

Jane is my closely friend from America. Last Sunday we went to the Phoenix Park for trip. The weather was such lovely that there was a great number of visitors in the park. To our excitement, there was a wonderful robot show who caught our attention. Some people were boating on the lake, while others are swimming. The Phoenix Park is more famous for its cherry blossom, and the park was like a sea of flower. We really enjoyed ourselves, so we couldn’t help singing happy. When it started to get dark, they left the park for home.
