You can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you’re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it,go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使…最大化)your personal time,rather than cramming(塞滿) as much as you can into each day.

●Take care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care, commuting(乘公交下上班),work,shopping,eating,and chores(家務(wù)).Add in time for anything else you do most days,such as homework,exercise,or an active hobby. 3.All the time left over is your free time,to use for relaxation or whatever else you want.

● 4. For example,you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip

For many people,an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult.5.

A. However, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day.

B.Stick to it,even on weekends

C.Try to combine trips outside the home to maximize your free time

D.Different days call for different approaches.

E.Therefore.you won’t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you’ll fall asleep on time.

F.Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.

G.Put them in a specific order that works for you

1.B

2.E

3.G

4.C

5.A

試題分析:本文講述你能為金錢做出預(yù)算,同理你也可以為時間做出預(yù)算以使個人時間最大化:制定并嚴格執(zhí)行睡眠計劃、計劃好每天要做的任務(wù)、偶爾戶外旅行一下。

1. a sleep schedule制定一個睡眠計劃,可知后句應(yīng)是要堅持這個睡眠計劃,甚至周末都要如此,故選B

2. sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need.確保上床時間到起床時間比你實際所需要的睡眠時間多一小時,后文應(yīng)敘述為何這樣做,即:這樣你就不用擔(dān)心是否會按時睡著了,故選E

3. in time for anything else you do most days,such as homework,exercise,or an active hobby.要為你大部分日子都做的事騰出時間,如作業(yè)、鍛煉、愛好等,可知后為應(yīng)是對這些事件要按對自己有利的合理順序了,故選G

4. example,you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip例如你也許計劃去,或下班回家的中途突然想去旅行,可知這一段都是關(guān)于旅行,空格處應(yīng)為嘗試將旅行結(jié)合起來來最大化你的自由時間,故選C

5. irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult不定期的工作表會使得這種預(yù)算很困難,可知后句通常是轉(zhuǎn)折句,即然而,你仍舊每天可以以相同的順序圍繞著你的工作表工作,故選A

My passion started decades ago as a kid on a flight to India. I was attracted by how such a large airplane was able to glide(滑翔)smoothly above the clouds. I made it a goal to become a pilot. I am now a pilot for American airlines. Though being a pilot consumes my life,it is a job worth doing.

My job is slightly different compared to that of a typical pilot. Most pilots have their routes they fly. They then familiarize(使…熟悉)themselves with the routes. However, in my case,I participate in any job where a pilot is immediately required. It is true that some days I might have a workday from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon. In fact,some days,I might even begin my work at three in the morning when I am needed to fly. Sometimes, as for the typical day,I do not have one.

Having been on the job for over two decades,I have learned some important life lessons. As I greet passengers boarding the airplane,I realize I,along with other airline pilots, have enhanced(提高)the lives of those who we are serving. In fact, there is one particular experience that I will never forget. A family was walking in from the gate, explaining that their beloved one was ill and had to be taken to a big hospital in another city immediately. It was at this point that I realized just how important my job was.

Therefore, my life as an airline pilot is definitely not for everyone. However,my job is something I enjoy thoroughly and will continue to do till I am old enough. As a pilot, I have been able to experience so many different types of situations in different places throughout the world. For anyone interested in piloting, I would recommend going for it.

1.The author dreamed of being a pilot when _______.

A. he was travelling in India

B. it was about 30 years ago.

C. he was flying to India as a kid

D. he was a kid living in India

2.What is the main difference between the author’s job and a typical pilot’s?

A. The author’s working time is not regular.

B. The author has his regular route he flies.

C. The author has to get up very early every day.

D. The daily working time of the author is longer.

3. The author realized how important his job was because he _______.

A. could serve everyone as he does his daily work

B. could make his guests’ life more convenient

C. could take the ill patient to hospital in short time

D. had been to many advanced countries in the world

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. My pleasure in serving people

B. Difference in my job as a pilot

D. My job as an American airline’s pilot

科目:高中英語 來源:2015年東北三省三校高三第一次聯(lián)合模擬考試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!

About a year ago, NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device (設(shè)備) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.

Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面團) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” — a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.

While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.

Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!

1. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?

A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.

B. To show they live a difficult life there.

C. To show their life is boring in space.

D. To introduce the topic of the text.

2.NASA offered $ 125, 000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _______.

A. create some new type of 3-D printer

B. attract more companies to work for NASA

C. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day

D. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits

3.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______.

A. he has no money left to go on with his research

B. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers

C. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years

D. he cannot make the food container last for decades

4. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better

B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza

C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people

D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

Welcome to St Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America. You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.

The Rain Forest Adventure Holiday

Every year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest. You may have a choice of Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.

Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness,and they are not suitable for families with young children.
