YOU"VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE"S GOT ANSWERS | | Q | | 阅读理解。 | What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don"t know for sure, it"s a
very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall,
desk, or computer screen; or maybe you"re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).
Even if you don"t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an
internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出)
of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can"t escape. Even if we ignore it, it"s still going by, ticking away,
second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, "Who"s in
charge?" We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our
ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time, you"ll increase your chances of becoming a more
successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your
studies, the more time you"ll have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that
governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use
our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss
next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes. | | 1. The underlined word "ally" in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _____. | A. your slave and serves you

don"t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish
variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages
fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice
provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.
-When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.
-Don"t" use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.
-Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don"t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish
because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.
-Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and
leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
-Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and
is able to swim.
-Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to
release a fish, do so right away. With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can
give the released fish a better chance of survival. | | 1. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they ______ | A. don"t want it to die
