[2] This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. It is not
as if you are not working hard, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and
productivity. Your plan is what gives you a clear picture of what you are aiming at, but the method of
achieving may vary from time to time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were
not working on it. The problem is whether you will be able to manage time.
[3] Before you start on the next activity, task or project, first ask yourself why you want to do what
you are about to do now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is
right.
[4] Doing the right thing at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do
what is right, also consider . Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when it is done at the right time.
[5] You will feel sorry about the time spent on what was not profitable to you. Time can not be
wasted, because it can not be preserved and replaced. You are always doing something with your time.
What matters is the value of what you are doing at the moment with your time.
[6] The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. It
will become simple if you learn to manage time effectively.

color represents the spirit of the Korean people and kimchi is more than just a food. It"s a culture."
A meal without kimchi is unthinkable. So what is kimchi?
Joan Raymond, food writer for US website health.com, writes: "It"s a reddish, fermented (发酵的)
cabbage dish , made with a mix of garlic salt, vinegar, chili peppers and other spices.
It is served at every meal, either along with or mixed with rice and noodles. It is part of a high-fiber, low
fat diet, which has kept obesity (肥胖) at bay."
Kimchi is used in everything from soups to pancakes and as a topping (配料) on pizza and burgers.
Health.com named kimchi in its list of the world"s top five healthiest foods as it is rich in vitamins, aids
digestion and may even reduce the risk of cancer.
A study conducted by Seoul National University claimed that chickens infected with the H5N1 virus
(bird flu) recovered after eating food containing the same bacteria found in kimchi.
When Koreans pose for photos, they say "kimchi", instead of "cheese".
B. Kimchi is rated as the healthiest food in the world.
C. Kimchi is a cultural treasure for Koreans.
D. Each person eats 40 pounds of kimchi per month.
B. prevent
C. overcome
D. develop
B. Ways of making kimchi.
C. The origin of kimchi.
D. Kimchi and what it means to Koreans.
rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated. Experts suggest a possible model
way may be "re-inventing" a "garden city".
China"s mega-cities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and
biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million
more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at
amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong
bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing rural-urban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of
arable (可耕种的) land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial
centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.
This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the world"s largest
population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of
diaspora(大移居) when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.
On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the "garden
city", a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li,
from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a
long-term study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland
within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs
and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism
and education.
The concept is already practiced at the grassroot level. Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof
and balcony in some communities in the cities. It"s common to see organic "hanging garden" on the roof
of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translate to tangible
(= practical) benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables, a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to
the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, there"re fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also
contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging
garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruit -all enough to
feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely
vegetables and fruit are doing.
Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes
skill and energy, with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that
garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray
when seen from the satellites.
B. To persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities.
C. To explain the reasons for the change of rural-urban framework.
D. To inform the readers of the consequences of quick urbanization.
B. become a project that needs a long-term study
C. lead to more rural communities being replaced
D. attract more farmers to take tours in cities
B. hanging gardens are becoming more popular
C. the garden contributes to a better neighborhood
D. he is a pioneer to practise the gardening concept
B. hopeful
C. disappointed
D. concerned

China may soon have its own "Ivy League", with a union of top universities.
The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US.
The Chinese version, which was officially started in mid-October, consists of nine famous universities,
including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange
programs, recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs.
The news of this Chinese "Ivy League" has received mixed responses from the public and press.
Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international
practices without fully understanding them. Others say that the "Ivy League" is not necessary but that the
union is a good idea, one that could promote academic development.
So what"s your opinion on a Chinese "Ivy League"? Do we need one?
Yes. Ivy League or not, nine of China"s best universities cooperating is a good thing.
These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for
research. It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary
investments for some of the universities.
Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons,
improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities. The results could be more
important than lessons and achievements.
The term "Ivy League" carries a sense of academic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing
such a term could encourage students" and professors" mental state and improve Chinese higher
education, then there"s no reason not to do it.
No. Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an "Ivy League"
model.
Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other. If this cooperation were
associated with the "Ivy League", it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a
negative effect.
These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government. They"re
quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn"t bring about as much potential
ability as between , say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities.
China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign
practices. We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don"t apply well here.
sometimes in the same house, a relative of the working parents took care of the children. But beginning
with the Industrial Revolution, people moved away from farms and small towns to find better job chances
in larger cities. Gradually nuclear families are often seen in the society, but there also appears the
immediate family, with either the mother or the father living with the children because of divorce. Another
variation is the mixed family, the result of a marriage between a previously married man and woman who
combine the children from their former marriages into a new family.
Since 1950s and 1960s, a trend that has appeared is the sharing of child-care responsibilities between husband and wife. More and more women are working outside the home. Around 70 percent of women
with children under 18 have other jobs besides that of mother and homemaker. Most are employed in
traditional fields for females, such as sales, education, and service. Some are engineers, politicians, doctors, lawyers, and scientists. And at the end of twentieth century, even a few have begun to occupy vital
positions in business, government, and banking, breaking through the so-called glass ceiling.
Money matters influence women to work. Some are employed full time, some part time, and some
seek creative solutions such as flex-time work schedules and job sharing. Many are single mothers, in
single-parent family, raising children by themselves. But in most cases, one income in the household is
simply not enough, so both parents must work to support the family. The men are no longer the only
breadwinners.
So who watches the children while the parents work? Answers to this question are varied. Some
parents put children in day-care centers. Some parents put children in informal day-care centers in private homes. Companies and hospitals are realizing that providing day care at the workplace makes for happier and more productive employees. Some wealthy families can have a nanny, a woman who comes to care
for the children in their own home. Many of these child-care workers are from other areas, e.g. South
America and Eastern Europe.
From the last decade, the accessibility of technology-computers, faxes, teleconferencing-has made it
easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the work force bring a
positive change for taking care of children? Only time will tell.
B. A mixed family.
C. A nuclear family.
D. A single-parent family.
B. Educated women are employed in many fields.
C. Women have more and more chances to work outside.
D. More and more women have children at very young age.
B. offering office equipments to workers
C. providing day care at the workplace
D. allowing them to work at home
B. Why do Women Work Outside?
C. What Benefits Single Parents?
D. How do People Support Families?
diving trip that had lunch on the boat. We went to Maalhoss Thila first. The current (水流) can be very
strong here but we were lucky and had a mild one. We enjoyed all the different colors of coral and fish.
The maximum (最大) depth of this dive was 30m, and we stayed for about 40 minutes. The water was
reasonably warm, so I was not cold only wearing a short-sleeved (袖子) wetsuit.
I was a bit worried about having lunch on the boat, as sometimes my stomach feels bad, but it was
perfectly fine this time -perhaps because the boat had not stopped and was moving toward the other
dive place, or because the size of the boat was reasonably large.
Our next diving place was called Manta. And as expected, the huge Manta was soon around us. It
is one of the most exciting moments I have had in my life. We only dove to 14m this time, which allowed
us to stay a bit longer -almost 50 minutes.
On the way back all the women took strategic position (好位置) on the deck, sunbathing and
relaxing, while the men were getting bored and ate the leftovers from lunch. No matter how different we
were, we all enjoyed our trip.
Another dive I would like to recommend (推荐) is called Maaya Thila, and it is the best night dive I
have ever had. We saw a huge turtle (海龟) sleeping in a cave, and sharks (鲨鱼) playfully chasing (追
赶) each other. They did not look friendly at all, but fortunately they did not decided to have us for
dinner. But anyway what happened that night under water will remain a fond memory to be retold on
special occasions by all the participants (参加者). It will be told with a smile on our faces.
B. Diving in Maaya Thila is one of the most unforgettable experience for the author.
C. The author dove into Maaya Thila and stayed there for 50 minutes.
D. There were no dangerous sharks in Maaya Thila.
B. it was moving toward the other dive place
C. the boat was not big enough
D. he / she felt sick when eating on boats
B. 2.
C. 3.

B. many people had been killed at Maaya Thila
