文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。对很多高中生来说时间似乎总是不够用,文章就如何合理、有效地安排时间给学生提供了几条建议。

【推荐1】For many high school students it seems that there is never enough time. There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.

First, make a to-do list every day. It makes it easy to plan any of the activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities (优先事项).     1       

Use spare time wisely. Do you have study hall (自习时间)? Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do your homework.     2     If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.

Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do your schoolwork before school. Review your notes every day.     3     If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learnt, it will mean less study time when it is time for the exam.

    4     Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory. When you are tired, everything seems more difficult. It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.

Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you.     5     You can call your friends later.

A.Set goals for yourself.
B.Get a good night’s sleep.
C.Do the most important tasks first.
D.Also, do not be afraid to say “no”.
E.You should finish your task on time.
F.Don’t take phone calls during the time you set aside for work.
G.Don’t wait until just before a test to try to remember everything.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文,人们对社区大学有很多误解,作者用自己上社区大学的切身经历告诉我们社区大学和其他大学没什么不同。
【推荐3】阅读表达

“Where are you going to college?” “I’m going to my local community college.” My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people’s faces. It’s clear that people have a lot of misconceptions (误解) about community colleges.

Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn’t get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got A’s. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college.

Some people will ask, “Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My professors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging.

Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.

I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist.

I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.

1. What was the author’s parents’ attitude towards his/her decision about attending the community college?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
2. How did the author make friends at community college?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Why daren’t the author take the journalism class at first?

4. What do you plan to get from your future college education? (About 30 words)
