1 . How to deal with your homework

Write it down.     1     Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.

Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to do your homework.     2     It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出) your computer (unless you need it for your homework) and close the door.

Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute.     3     The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of ( 一 堆 ) homework the next day.

    4     Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.

Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break (no more than 15 minutes). Either taking a walk or finding something to eat will do. But do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back to your study.     5    

A．Use your time wisely.

B．Start as soon as you get home.

C．Start with your hardest homework.

D．Do not burn the midnight oil, either.

E．Never do your homework in front of the TV.

F．After short breaks, return to finish the rest of your homework.

G．Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework.

2 . 阅读下面材料, 在空白处填写一个适当的单词或用括号内单词的正确形式。

With the development of modern technology, people can stay     1     (connect) with their families and friends easily, however far apart they are from each other. WeChat is one of the most     2     (frequent) used means of communication in China. It is reported that the number of the WeChat users     3     (reach) over 1.1 billion so far.

Once joining the WeChat, people can find more and more people start to add them     4     fiends. They don’t have to consider time     5     (zone) when communicating. Another reason why it is so popular is that it costs nothing. It’s also very convenient for people to immediately update     6     they are doing by WeChat.

However, addiction to WeChat will rob people of the time that should otherwise     7     (spend) on something more important. And the many so-called friends on it are not really friends at all, who simply want     8     (put) ads or sell items on Moments. Besides, people on the WeChat are more likely to compare     9     (they) with others, which will make them feel bad when finding some people seem to be     10     (success).

8 . There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction（满意）for a job well done.    1     Here are five ways to help you do just that：

※ Empty your inbox(收件箱)．

    2     You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment（成就） and order in your life. If you want an empty inbox，it means everything is in a particular spot：either in the trash，or sent to someone else.

※    3    

If you leave a tiring and undesirable task until the next day，you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of fear. On the other hand，try to complete the task before you leave the office，and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory.

※ Do something nice for someone else.

The key here is intentionality（意图性）．Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life—a partner, friend，family member, customer, etc.    4     It is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself.

※ Say thank you.

Take a moment before you shut things down for the day to be thankful for your life.    5     When you feel grateful to people around you，you will get a new idea on the difficulties of any given day.

A．Determine what will make tomorrow special.
