Forever Young

It's Girls Night Out: Mom Edition, and I'm a player in a whole new game. It occurs to me that I really don't know these 36 women. We've been circling 37  for about three years, ever since our kids started 38 .We'd bump into each other in the parking 39 ,at Valentine's Day parties, and later as one or the other shyly 40 we all sign our kids up for softball, gymnastics or dance. Who knows 41 the five of us clumped together more than 42 of us clumped with other mothers. I suppose it happens 43 ,friendship circles spiraling (成螺旋狀旋轉(zhuǎn))in and around and about and anew. This is the 44 time we've gathered without the kids, and I am having a 45 time saying “Janice”, as opposed to “Zoe's mom” or “Susan”, 46  “Kaitlin's mom”, and so I have decided, for tonight, not to 47 any names at all.     

The 48 has already taken our drink order. I can't believe nobody 49 beer. Nope, this is a Diet Coke and iced tea crowd. In the back of my mind I'm 50 if I'm going to be the naughty 51 who corrupts this group. There is so much 52 to take care of when you are just getting to 53 people as people. One of the things we are doing is 54 dates, the years that each of us 55 from this or that. I see where this is going.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

 (71) ____You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(72)____ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class. (73)____ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.(74)_____ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer. Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
