Being a good student doesn’t mean you have to drop all social activities and dive into your books．It is still possible to have a healthy social life while getting good grades．1. Here are how you can achieve it:
Decide for yourself at the start of the term that you won’t let your schoolwork sweep you away． 2.
Write down your weekly schedule on a piece of paper．Chances are that you’ll have small gaps between classes during the week and more free time at the weekend．Make sure that every time you find yourself in one of those between-class gaps you use the time efficiently．3.
Set aside at least one large amount of time each week as free time．Keep in mind the law of diminishing returns(收益递减）．Past a certain point，more hours studying will be of little benefit． 4. Protect both your free time and your school time carefully．If one starts to infringe(侵犯）on the other，that is just the beginning of a long，slippery downhill slope(斜坡）．
5. This way，you can co-ordinate(协调）your free time with theirs．
Whenever possible，find social activities that take you off campus and away from your schoolwork．
A．Balance is the key．
B．Encourage your friends to follow a similar plan．
C．It is very important to be determined about this．
D．Try not to affect others’ time and just focus on your own．
E．You’re better off spending this time with friends．
F．You can spend more time on social life than on study．
G．Read a few pages of your school books or do some quick chores(杂活)，for example．
People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver．Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida，Nevada and California．They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road．The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars，which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August．Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020．
In September，California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state．"Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality—the driverless car．"The technology for these cars includes cameras，radar and motion sensors．The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U．S．government agency DARPA．Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races．
Cars have become much more fuel-efficient，and new electronic features are making Hondas safer，said Angie Nucci of Honda America．"A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes．" Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars．These systems help drivers，but don't replace them．Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer．
"By taking out drivers，you also remove most risks of an accident," Kendall said．He said consumers，however，may be unwilling to lose control．"It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable，but it will have to prove itself first．"
Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable．He said this will happen as the technology is improved．

Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment．To do it，they wore aquatic (水上的）shoes they designed and created．
Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute．Quinones，who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500．Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves，Materials and Methods Construction Class．"It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race．I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，" Canaves said．" We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level．"
A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams．Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake．Others who fell got back up and made it to the end．The race is open to all students and anyone in the community．The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother，while the oldest was a 67-year-old female．
A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers．He shouted encouraging words，but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end．
"A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，" he said．It is also a lesson in life for the students．
“Anything，including walking on water，is possible，if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously．”
1.For what purpose did the students take part in the race?
