“Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you much stronger. If you do little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves,” said Dale Carnegie.

Sometimes, doing your best work or trying your hardest at something is difficult. It may have something to do with trying to do something new for the first time, like a new sport or activity at school. It may have something to do with doing homework for a subject that is not your favorite or is not your best.

As Hunter S. Thompson once said, “Anything worth doing is worth doing right.” And as Albert Einstein added, “We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility.”

Developing the habit of trying your hardest and doing your best is something that will help you succeed throughout your life. If you have looked at some quotes related to trying your hardest, you will see that many of them come from people who have made a big difference in the world. This is not a coincidence. It was not only their cleverness that helped them stand out and change the world, but their ability to try their hardest and do their best in whatever they were doing. If you can develop this same habit---to do your best in any situation, it will be a great benefit to your family, career, school and community.

As Bob Cousy put it, “Do your best when no one is looking. If you do that, then you can be successful at anything you put your mind to.” The choice is yours.

1．A．Never be afraid to give
B．Plan ahead as much as possible
C．Work out your priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）
D．Be disciplined（有紀(jì)律的） at all times
E．Make sure everything has its place
F．Stick to a schedule
Being Well-Organized And Getting Things Done
Being well-organized and getting things done and what we have done is tried to make them as easy to follow as possible to allow you to implement（實(shí)施） them immediately．There is no doubt that being organized does make a difference．
（31）C
It is something that you should do every single day and the best way to approach this is to place things in order of importance．Watching that movie may sound like a good idea，but put that at the bottom of the list and focus on things that influence your work，health，or anything else that is key to your survival（生存）．
（32）B
Next，you should consider trying to plan ahead，so if you know that there is an appointment at a certain location for a certain time，then plan your day around that appointment．
（33）E
Knowing where everything is really will allow you to get more things done as you will waste less time hunting for that object that you require to complete your task．Too much time is wasted hunting for keys or that piece of paper and it also just stresses you out and can upset your pace．
（34）A
Giving tasks to others will always lead to you getting more done，but it is not just a case of picking anybody to do a task．Instead，you need to make sure that they are capable of doing it without running into any problems and that they do have the correct tools to complete the job．
（35）F
Having a schedule will help to force you into completing tasks on time and actually getting more done in the process．The only problem here is that you need to be sensible when working out how long something takes or you will put undue pressure on yourself and this is where mistakes can occur and you will actually then start to get less done．

12．A．Enjoy college life．
B．Manage your time．
C．Look for opportunities．
D．Don't be afraid to ask for help．
E．Use the campus study resources．
F．Don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone．

The first year of college is one of the best periods of life，but it can also be a challenging thing．These pieces of advice will help you survive the first year in college．
（61）F．When I was a first year student I was a bit shy and I treated going to college as a huge life change．New circle of contacts made me hesitate to step outside my comfort zone．But finally I overcame my fears and inner constraint （拘束）．There are many wonderful people who can give you valuable advice and support if you cannot make up your mind to do something．That's why you should try to be confident while expressing yourself．An active and funny college life will provide you with wonderful memories．
（62）D．There's a large amount of information you've got to know．You might understand how to register for classes，what the names of your professors are or how to do one or another task in a proper way．College is full of students who are former freshmen．They can give you a helping hand if you don't know something．Moreover，many professors，teachers and other college members can answer your questions．The sooner you delve into （探究） your college life，the more chances you'll get the reputation of a successful student and become knowledgeable．
（63）B．Your future success depends on the way you spend your free time．At college，it's necessary to find time for studies and for having fun．One of the best ways to manage your time during the first year is to make a schedule．It will help you succeed and reach all your goals．I always tried to set priorities in my study and paid more attention to the subjects I was really interested in．But it's better to develop your skills in other subjects as well，because the professors expect you to be prepared and ready to answer．
（64）E．Many students complain about the lack of literature and about the high prices of textbooks．Why not use the resources offered by a college you're studying at？There are many databases，labs and libraries，which can help you expand your mind．If you have some difficulties，you can get valuable information using e-books that are available through the college account．This abundance of information is created to improve the students'skills and learning experience．
（65）C．As far as I know，all college campuses offer you a variety of student organizations and a range of student programs，competitions，part-time campus jobs．Different social and sport organizations can help you express yourself and discover your interests．Plus you can get acquainted with people who will help you start a successful career．As a student of the first year you need to make friends and get involved in different student communities．When I was a freshman I had achance to take a 4-week course in Europe．Also，many of my friends worked as volunteers at local hospitals．

Why are so many people afraid to fail? Quite simply because we forget that failure is part of the human life and that every person has the right to fail. Every person is able to fight failure and finally succeed.

Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.

There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child often feels terrible, of course, when he is not invited to a birthday party, or is not chosen into a football team. But parents should not say “It doesn’t matter.” quickly. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.

Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both adults and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them. Success just repeats what has been done. It is not as good a teacher as failure. You can learn how to give a good party from an unsuccessful one.

1. How do most parents prevent their children from failure?

A. They give them some presents.

B. They don’t tell them that they have failed.

How can we practice our spoken English? The first and the most important thing is to be-lieve in 26 You should always be full of confidence or you 27 be able to improve your English. You should often encourage yourself "Come on,don't be afraid！"

You should never lose heart and never give up. Maybe you are afraid of losing face,but you should think since we are students and we're 28 ， there's no need to worry 29 anything. You must always be active in practice. It's no problem that your pronunciation and intonation(語凋)won't be as good 30 a native speaker because we are Chinese,and we haven't had the chance to live in foreign countries and talk with the people there 31 But you must know that the main way to study English is to make ourselves understood and 32 other people. You should believe that native speakers will not laugh at you. 33 they will encourage you. So if you are brave enough you'll certainly make rapid progress in your 34 English.

35 be shy or afraid! Just try your best.
