stephanie winston, author of stephanie winstons best organizing tips, offers his advice:dont ask questions like “whats new?” they give the information that you have time to talk. after “hello”, get right to the heart of the matter.time your calls wisely. if you make a call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the workday, people chat less.set a time limit. start with, “hi, ive only got a few minutes, but i wanted to talk to you about.” or, “gee, id love to talk more, but i only have a couple of minutes before i have to leave.”jump on a pause（间歇）. even the most talkative caller has to pause now and then. quickly say, “it has been great talking with you.” then end the conversation.forget niceties. some people just dont take a hint. cut your caller off and say, “id like to talk to you longer, but im afraid i have no enough time. good bye.” then hang up. find “a partner in crime”. if nothing else works, ask someone in your home to help you. for example, one woman gives a sign to her husband, who shouts, “jane, i think the roast chicken is burning.”avoid the phone completely. use an answering machine to screen calls. if you have an important message for a chatterbox（唠叨的人）, leave the message when he or she isnt in.( )1. whats the good time to make a call so that people can chat less?

in school, do you rush from one subject to another?when things happen so fast, it is easy to get lost of what you are doing or learning. it is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what youve been doing or learning.self reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. by being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. some people prefer to do these self reflections only in their mind. others keep a diary or write notes. either method works, depending on your own personal learning. school textbooks are divided into units of study. this makes it easier for someone to begin self reflection. look for time when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are learning, such as maths, science and art. sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. use these natural breaks to stop and do self reflection.find a quiet place. you can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. if you are going to take notes, take out paper or your reflection diary. write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. next, think about things that you are not sure of. maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but youre not sure when to use it. writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic. self reflection is important for a successful student. if you have never taken the time to do self reflection, try it now.( )4. we do self reflection to _.a. have more activities and subjectsb. make things happen faster and betterc. think about what we have learnedd. let our brain have a good rest( )5. what can we learn from the passage?a. taking notes is necessary when we do self reflection.b. its a good time to do self refection when we finish a unit.c. self reflection should be done after class in the school.d. its easy for us to find answers when we do self reflection.( )6.whats the best title for the passage?a. self reflection in mind or taking notes?b. self reflection makes you a better learnerc. why not try these steps of self reflection? d. find a good time and place for self reflection（c）if you dream of becoming a spaceman after you grow up, get started now! a spaceman needs a strong body and mind. see here what shenzhou ix spacemen are able to do. do you still have a long way to go?shenzhou ix spacemen are able to live upside down（头朝下地）.they do this not just during sleep, but also when eating and going to the toilet. before they flew into space, they had lots of practice. each upside-down training time lasted for 20 days.in shenzhou ix, chinese spacemen arent just spaceship drivers but also machine repairers and scientists.they have to know every part of the spaceship and how it works. if something goes wrong, they must know how to repair it. also they do scientific experiments in space.shenzhou ix spacemen know how to live in the wild.they took a knife, a gun and some dye（染料）with them into space. if they land in forests, the knife and gun can protect them from wild animals. if they fall into the sea, the dye can color the sea water around them yellow. this can help people find them easily on the sea.shenzhou ix spacemen cant get dizzy（眩晕的）. a spaceship is not a plane. when it goes up, the extra gravity force（重力）can break peoples bones. spacemen must have strong bodies for this. they cant get a headache or be sick. with many things to take care of, theyve got no time for sickness.( )7. the underlined word “this” refers to _. a. the dye itselfb. colored waterc. the sead. the forests ( )8.which of the following is not true to shenzhou ix spacemen? a. it took 20 days for them to do such upside-down training. b. they have some scientific experiments in space. c. they usually get dizzy when they get a headache. d. they know how the spaceship works and can repair it.( )9.the best title of this passage is “_”. a. a story about spaceb. spacemen need special training c. how to sleep in spaced. one can drive a spaceship（d）“bang!” the door caused a reverberation（回声）. it was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and i on the other side.we were both in great anger. “never set foot in this house again!” shouted father. with tears welling up in my eyes, i rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. the street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. i wandered aimlessly（无目的地）. a young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. i felt as if i saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. but now i dont know whether it is because i have grown up or because dad is getting old. we are just like two people coming from two different worlds. it feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.i wandered the streets. my heart was frozen on this hot summer night. i walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. when i finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which i lived, i saw that the light was still on.i thought to myself: “is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”in fact, it was nothing. perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. perhaps he thought they were useless. i never had the courage to tell him that i liked collecting stamps. maybe he didnt know how to express himself. after shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. after an argument he has the habit of creeping up the quilt（盖被子） in my sleep. he has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.the light was still on. “am i wrong?” i whispered, maybe as soon as i opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. i suddenly realized the iron door that i had imagined between us did not exist（存在） at all. loveit second to none.( )10. what made the writer think of his childhood?
