If your dog wont quitbarking, lock it outside. This is a pretty obvious way to stay focused.67.One o f the best things you can do is to find a period of the day when you canstay focused. For exam ple, if youre a stay-at-hom e mum who works on thecom puter, w ait until you send the kids to school starting work. If youre a studentand you need to study for a big test tomorrow, w ait until your sister goes to workor your little brother goes to preschool, etc.68. _ ，Get all those best annoying physical needs out of the way first. Not only isthis good for you to stay focused, but I learned in health class that this is a way foryou to stay healthy in general. Dont w ait to get hungry; stuff yourself with asandwich before you head off to work or study.69. _If you have a lot of work, you can break it down into sm aller and morem anageable tasks. Taking a break after each small task is finished is a greatchoice. Taking a break after an hour of hard work is reasonable. However, it isnot okay if you take a break every fifteen minutes. Give yourself a break scheduleand stick to it.Be sure to get a good nights rest. If youre at work with your head dropping,you definitely wont be able to work effectively. M oreover, a documentary aboutsleeping and dream ing explained that when students study right before they go tobed, the inform ation they have ju st learned w ill be retained in their brains whenthey sleep. This will make the individual more focused and perform better thenext day.Proofreading.I cant swim because I have a strong fear of water. Look back at my childhoodexperience, I think that three reason might explain the fear. The first reason is thatI am not allow ed to going near the w ater when I was a child, for my mother had an unreasonable fear o f it. So, I was taught see the water as something danger.Second, my eyes became bad ones when I was five. If I took off away my glassesin the w ater, I couldnt see som ething, and this increased my fear. The worst partof my experience is that as a child I often saw a neighbour drowned. Since then I have been more frightening.VI.

One possible version:We middle school students have had many tests or exams and have both achievedsuccess and suffered from failure, but different students take different attitudes towardsfailure. Some fall in lowspirits when they dont do well in exams, losing heart and nolonger studying as hard as before. However, most students take an active attitude. By encouragingthemselves to be self-confident, they find out and analyze the causes so thatthey will no longer make similar mistakes.In my opinion, failure is the mother of success. It can teach us a lot in the process ofreaching our goals. Only by tasting failure can we better enjoy tide finit of success.Listening materials:Text 1M: How did you get home?W: At first, I planned to take the plane.
