Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her l998 book about the death of her was shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into film. She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her hooks being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the moat important resource(资源)and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公)of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的)style. There is only one Danielle Steel.60Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that _Ashe can write several books at the same timeBshe often does some research before writing a bookCshe is one of the most popular American women writersDshe can keep writing for quite a long time without a break61Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know _. Ahow to deal with affairs at schoolBwhat to do if Max and Martha dieCwhat to do when new babies are born into their familiesDhow to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes62One of Danielle Steels achievements is that_Asome TV plays were based on her booksBher picture books attracted a lot of young menCone of her books became a best-seller in 1998Dshe wrote the Guinness Book of World Records63We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _Alives an exciting lifeBvalues her readers a lotCwrites about quiet womenDis pleased with her achievements CThe words “timetable” and “schedule” make most final year students want to eat their own vomit（呕吐物）. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you dont have a schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected arises. A well-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver . It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs .Change it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.A good timetable should make every hour countevery class ,social event and other activity you engage in .You must focus on the other “free time” available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and divided each day into one-hour increments .Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This gives you a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances need.The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available time in the most productive manner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but dont dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule youve prepared .A good deal of your success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it progressively deteriorates（减弱）. After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way, you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.64What is the best title of the passage? AAdvantages of starting a timetableBKeep to it ,and you will succeedCMake a schedule ,and follow it DLearn to love your timetable65What does Paragraph 2 talk about?ATips for making a schedule.BSignificance of a scientific timetable.CRequirements for making a timetable.DImportance of following ones schedule.66The following are characteristics of a good timetable EXCEPT that .Ait can be changedBit is flexibleCit is of many periodsDit can save our time67From this passage ,we can learn if we wish to achieve high learning efficiency, wed better . Ashift subjects and use different methods regularlyBdevote to the same material continuouslyCturn to teachers for help if necessaryDhave a break every thirty minutesDNowadays, most employees of local high-tech industries are below the age of 35, and for newly rising industries such as computer software and the Internet, the figure is below 30. People in this age bracket（阶层）are known as Generation-X, which is made up of those born between 1963 and 1981（i. e. those aged between 17 and 35）.Compared with those born from 1946 to 1960, Generation-X are typically independent, they also have their shortcomings. Employers often complain that Generation-X are a group hard to manage. Although willingness and enthusiasm are highly valued by Generation-X, they will not accept orders blindly. In short, Generation-X will not accept authoritarian（权力主义）leadership. They expect their leaders to have a detailed understanding of the job, and most importantly, to treat them as an important member of them-as partners.As a result, managing Generation-X employees is not only a science but also an art. There are basic guidelines to follow in managing them and helping them perform at their best:1Support them in their quest for knowledge skills;2Room for creativity and failure;3Provide frequent and timely feedback；4Provi
