Time management is one of the most important study skills that a student needs to know. When you’re a student, you have all kinds of work you need to do every day. 1. So it is necessary to learn how to make the best use of your time. Here are two tips to help you mange your time in college.
Keep a detailed calendar:
It’s almost impossible to remember everything you need to do in your head. 2. A detailed calendar is the best method. As soon as you realize a deadline, record it in the calendar, and be sure to look at coming dates in the calendar often. Be sure to record each work as well. 3.
4.
It’s not a good idea to pick up your books and start working until you’ve finished—because you may not have enough time to finish all your tasks.

The more you learn to manage your time, the easier it will become. Good luck, students!

D. It is the key to managing your time better.
E. You never feel like there is enough time to finish it all.

Getting enough sleep on a regular basis is one important way to protect the health of your heart. Poor sleep is associated with a range of cardiovascular(心血管的) problems, including high blood pressure, heart attack, and heart failure. Both men and women are at increased risk for these conditions. But we continue to learn that when it comes to health problems associated with sleep, the particular risks to men and women are not always the same. A new study suggests that for women who already have heart disease, poor sleep may be particularly dangerous to their heart health.
Research indicates that poor-quality sleep—and waking too early in particular—is associated with increased inflammation(炎症) among women with heart disease. There was no similar association found for men, suggesting that women with heart disease and sleep problems may be at particular risk for inflammation that can be damaging to the heart.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco investigated the relationship between sleep quality and inflammation linked to coronary(冠状的) heart disease. They also sought information about how an association between sleep and inflammation might differ between men and women. Their investigation included 980 men and women at first, and 626 completed the 5-year study. All of those included were suffering for coronary heart disease. The average age of men in the study was 66. Women were slightly younger, with an average age of 64. Researchers measured sleep quality by asking participants to rate their sleep over the previous month. They also asked for reports of some of the most common sleep problems, including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, waking frequently throughout the night, and waking too early in the morning.
After 5 years, researchers repeated tests for inflammation and once again sought reports on sleep quality and sleep problems. When they analyzed data for both men and women together, researchers found no links between inflammations and sleep quality. However, when they analyzed data taking gender(性别) into account, researchers found a relationship between inflammation and sleep existed for women, but not for men.

3.The researchers did the study _______.
A. to find a cure for women with heart disease
B. to know what contributes to inflammation

Nowadays people are not so excited by parties and social gatherings. This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smartphones.
When they are gathering together, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.
1.The purpose of this text is to ________.
A. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
B. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
C. appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
D. advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
2.The second paragraph is developed by ________.
A. listing figures
B. giving examples
C. analyzing the effects
D. comparing facts
3.The author advocates us to make new friends ________.
A. under a free circumstance
B. by using smartphones
C. in different ways
D. in a face-to-face way
4.Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ________.
A. parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B. people are more and more narrow-minded
C. people's communication skills are weakened
D. face-to-face communication becomes less important

Every time I lost a tooth I would put it under my pillow at night. The next morning I would wake up to find two coins replacing my tooth. Then I'd wonder about the tooth fairy all day.
“Mom, where do you think the tooth fairy lives? What does she do with the teeth she collects?”
My mom said she didn't know. She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left us some money under our pillow. But I wanted to find out. So I think it was a good thing that I would lose another tooth. The plan was to stay up all night and ask the tooth fairy when she showed up.
That night I lay quietly in my bed, growing sleepy as the night went on. Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me. Through my half-opened eyes, I didn't see any feet, but I knew it was the tooth fairy. I watched her run around and fly right out of my room. She was wearing a shiny green dress. After she left, I immediately felt under my pillow. There were two coins. I had never even felt my pillow move. I wondered if she used magic.
As I got older, I learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didn't exist. It was just a mythical figure of early childhood. I kind of thought it was, but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night?
Then one night my mom came into my room to check on me. The moonlight was bright that night and it shone through my window right on her shiny green nightdress. Right then I knew deep down that my mom was the tooth fairy.
