19、g to do during a particular session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start to study efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work.Let us suppose that you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40-hour working week, (a reasonable figure,

20、 leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities.)You now have to decide how to occupy the remaining 25 hours of private study.

27、 become food for worms. When worms pass the leaves, their waste can help to make the soil rich, from which the plants use to get their nutrition. The plants grow and provide food for animals. When the animals eat their plants, their waste goes back into the soil. It s perfect circle.But at the Eleph

28、ant Conservation Centre in Lampang, Northern Thailand, they are using elephant waste for something more - to make 100% natural, beautiful colorful paper products! 100 years ago over 100, 000 elephants in Thailand worked on farms, building sites and even in the army. However, only 6, 000 remain there

29、 today because of advances and technology that have made elephants? old work less necessary. Elephants are doing new jobs now, including entertaining tourists by painting and playing football, and now by helping in the paper making industry. And their keepers, called Mahouts, can earn a living for t

30、heir families and help their elephants by using elephants waste, also called dung to make beautiful, natural, paper products without any bad smell.Every day an adult elephant eats about 200kg of plants like bamboo, grass and watermelon seeds. His body system breaks the plants in 50kg of fibers, whic

31、h can produce 115 sheets of fibrous paper.The first step to make this special natural paper is to collect the fiber rich “dung from the elephant. The next step is to wash it and boil it for five hours to kill bacteria. (The water they use in this progress is reused to water plants at the Centre, whi

32、ch, in turn, feed the elephants). After it s boiled, they cut fibers up. During the cutting progress, they add in the desired color of paper. For the fourth step, they take the mixture and make balls of 300g. Each ball is then spread lightly over bamboo frames to dry into one large sheet of paper. A

33、fter a few hours in the sun, the sheets are dry enough to remove. The result is a wonderful, 100% natural, recycled paper.

36、aboutA. The steps to make paper.B The number of elephants in Thailand.C. The paper-making industry in Thailand.D A new type of paper - elephant paper.DIt is natural for young people, at times, to blame their parents for most the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained that their

37、parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with problems; that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have to no sense of humor, at last in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their teenage c

38、hildren and also forget how they themselves felt, when young.For example, young people like doing things without careful consideration; it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge. Older people worry more easily: most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their m

39、inds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.So my advice to you is this： when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance.Young people often annoy their parents with their ch

40、oices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and entertainers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles annoy their parents, this

41、 gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you don t obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did accept, it looks as if you are tricking your own age group. But in that case,

42、 you are supposing that you are the underdog： you can t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to

43、 be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of the plan. You can impress others, especially parents, with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do.61. According to the passage, all the following complaint

44、s are true EXCEPT thatA.parents have no sense of humor at allB. parents are always behind the timesC. parents talk too much about certain problemsD. parents don t believe their children can deal with crises62. What does the author suggest to young people to win support from their parentsA. Ignoring

45、them.B. Controlling themC. Entertaining themD. Cooperating with them.63. We can learn from the passage that .A. young people are not allowed to join adult society because they have their own culture.B it is impossible for young people to get along well with older people.C. older people tend to forge

46、t how they felt when they were young.D older people often lead the way in fashion.64.

The phone of the “Nightline” rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper, Connie to get it. She had been taking down the callers names in Morrie* s small black appointment book. It was c

48、lear I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor-the “Nightline“ appearance had made him something of a big figure _ but I was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that Morrie seemed to have.uYou know, Mitch, now that I m dying.
