Activities and chores. Sleeping and eating. We have to do so many things in a single day! Some students talk about the things they feel they never have enough time for. Andrew,17 I don't have much time for friends because there is a lot of schoolwork. I wish I could play sports with them more often. I never have enough time to practice playing the violin or hang out with friends. Instead, I'm always studying and doing homework. I never have much spare time. If I had, I would talk with my friends, write novels, or just sit around! Luke,18 I hardly have enough time for myself and friends. My time is crammed (塞满) with homework. Sometimes I feel terrible. Wouldn't it be easier if time were like a DVD that you could slow down, speed up, fast— forward, or rewind? However, we can't change the speed of time or get more. What we CAN do, however, is to manage it. We should: · make a list of things that we HAVE to do and WANT to do; · find out how much time each activity in a day takes; · make a plan that helps us get through the day, week, or month. If you learn to manage time well, you might be surprised at how much you can get done. What's more, you' ll probably feel much happier and less stressed. 1.

Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble(气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep. Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks(花栗鼠) sleep curled up(蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A fro g may stay in its hole for months. High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall tree help to keep monkeys safe during the night.

They carry a huge monster which is made of wood and other materials around the village three times. After that, people set it on fire, hoping to drive out evil(邪恶的) spirits. After Nyepi, a Turun Tanah ceremony begins in honor of a child's first steps. At the Turun Tanah, parents invite friends and family to a party to introduce the baby. They put different objects such as a bracelet(手镯), pen, mirror or toy computer around their baby. If the baby picks up a pen, he or she may be a writer. A child who picks up a gold bracelet may be rich. While Turun Tanah celebrates the future of a family Galungan celebrates its past.

D Super space seeds Since humans sent the first satellite(卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety(高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety(矮杆水稻品种) have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30. While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant— it begins with a seed and ends with a mature(成熟的) plant producing new seeds. Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated(突变的) seeds, thanks to microgravity(微重力), lack of air and cosmic rays(宇宙射线). The seeds can then produce higher yields(产量) on Earth. For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are planted every year in fields that cover tens of millions of hectares(公顷). According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are“space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced“space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and“space bananas” with a growth cycle(生长周期) shortened from 13 months to 9 months. 12. What does“this one” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The dwarf rice variety. B. The tall shoot rice variety. C. The rice experiment on Shenzhou XIV. D. The last rice experiment in space. 13. How does the current rice experiment differ from other experiments? A. Its seedlings have successfully come up. B. It goes through a complete life cycle. C. Its seedlings are growing very well. D. It uses completely new rice varieties. 14. Why do we grow food in space? a. To feed astronauts. b. To study microgravity. c. To increase yields on Earth. d. To research on cosmic rays. A. ab B. be C. ac D. bd 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Space planting is benefiting us. B. Space planting has disadvantages. C. People will never run out of food. D. People are afraid of food bred in space. 第二节(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Complain Politely Not everything goes the way you want it to.
