He always made a list, but he always forgot to put one or more items on the list. This used to anger him, but now he just accepted it. Youre not as _as you used to be, he told himself.It was Fridayshopping day. He went to the 99 Cents store. Sometimes they had a lot of fresh produce, sometimes they didnt. He got lucky. There were fresh, packaged broccoli, celery, eggplant, and squash. Also, packages of peaches, plums and apples. He _had eough produce to last all week, if it didnt rot first. The produce alone filled up four plastic bags. Four other bags _other items that were on Neils list. He drove to Albertsons, which sold milk by the gallon and at cheaper prices than the 99 Cents store. Interestingly, the price of milk had soared in the last month. He used to buy 2 gallons of nonfat milk for $ 3.59. Now he was paying $ 4.69.Yet, the news media was silent-the same news media that reports a 2-cent increase in gasoline prices or even a 1-cent decrease. Thats all _the news.He parked his car in the carport and opened the trunk. Somehow he managed, as usual, to put all 10 plastic bags into his hands and lug them upstairs. “What a drag shipping is!” he thought. And then he mentally slapped himself：if you think its a drag now,wait till you cant drive. Wait till you cant even walk up the stairs_you use a cane. How are you going to get your groceries then? The older you get, he old himself, the more youd better appreciate the fact that you can still do these _chores and errands.15 . AgoodBsharpCusefulDwell16 . AeasilyBquicklyCfastDcarefully17 .

A change in the school timetable(课程表) may be the cure.This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.The researchers studied students grade reports, class timetables and absence rates(缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns(模式) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform(表现) better at different times of the day. In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention Dimitrova told The Telegraph. In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion, she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock.This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students performance just by changing their timetables.21 .
