This habit was picked from my teacher back in 1988. Back then it seemed trivial（琐碎）and not likely to make any significant influence on my life.1.
The habit that has made the greatest influence on my life is scheduling. In my mind, it is the tiny daily habit that indeed can be life-changing. Scheduling is not just about the ordering of tasks throughout the day. 2.If you are able to design the right schedule and follow it, you are able to gain massive rewards for your work.
3.However, everything is likely to boil down to the most precious asset（财富）, namely time. If you are able to master your time and follow the schedule, you will not lose any minute doing things that do not matter or add no value. The tiny daily habit of scheduling your day is important. In the short term, it might seem boring and inefficient. 4.It can provide you with the greatest opportunity possible.
5.
A. Master your time
B. Only time will tell.
C. Forming tiny daily habit is not an easy task for us.
D. However, a few years later I realized its true power.
E. It is about the proper allocation and usage of your time and effort.
F. One can endlessly argue about the things that have the biggest value in our lives.
G. However, in the long run, the habit of scheduling your tasks and plans will pay off.
Nisha Pradhan is worried. The recent college graduate just turns 21 and plans to live on her own. But she’s afraid she won’t be able to stay safe. That’s because she isn’t able to smell.
Back home, her family do her smelling for her. She’s moved in with them for now, but she’s looking for a place of her own. “Now that I’m searching for ways or place to live as an independent person, I find that the sense of smell is important to how we live our lives,” Pradhan says.
She says when she was a child she liked to eat and ate a lot. But there came a point where she lost interest in food.
“One of the first things that people notice whenever they have a smell problem is that food doesn’t taste right any-more,” says Beverly Cowart, a researcher. That’s because eating and smell go hand in hand. How food tastes often relies on what we smell. “When you lose your sense of smell, your whole sense of food flavor s changed and reduced,” Cowart says, “You can still taste the basic tastes. What you’re missing are the small distinctions.”
“When I go out to eat I have often found that that food is very tasteless to me. I never feel full,” she says. “I think a lot of us today like to pretend to be food lovers and we all like to talk about ‘Oh, I think this could use a little bit more flavor,’ or ‘I think this has a hint of meat,’ I can’t really participate in those conversations,” she says.
Pradam thinks her smell loss also may have affected her memory. Pradhan may be on to something, according to biologist Paul Moore. “When smell signals come in, you feel about them first. And then you think about it and then the memory is laid down. So without the feel part, the thinking about its part doesn’t come. And that means no new smell memory gets created.”
1.What problem does Pradhan meet with at present?
A. That she has no sense of smell.
B. That she doesn’t have her own house.
C. That she lacks life skills to live alone.
D. That she is too nervous to live alone.
2.What can we infer from what Beverly Cowart said?
A. People with a smell problem have no food tastes.
B. Lack of smell sense makes eating a dull experience.
C. Different food tastes the same for people of smell loss.
D. People feel hungry easily for lack of smell sense.
3.When eating out, Pradhan_______.
A. has a sense of being full quickly B. often has a good appetite
C. pretends to have good smell sense D. feels left out sometimes
4.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Pradhan may be crazy. B. Pradhan may be foolish.
C. Pradhan may be right. D. Pradhan may be forgettable.
Before leaving his job in Brooklyn, Brian Peter had one thing he wanted to do on his last day-say thank you to the city he loves. Peter decided to use the money he made for a day’s work, as well as the $10 per year he earned for his service, to give back to his community.
“I've got nothing but good things from the city and the citizens,” Peter said. “I take what I make in a day and add that $120 that the police association was going to give me, and I’ll just add it up to $500 and get some gift cards for people.”
So after fourteen years’ serving as a police officer, Peter spent his last day doing that. Using his own money, Peter purchased five gift cards from Target and five gift cards from the grocery chain Cub Foods worth $ 50 each and handed them out to strangers in Brooklyn Center.
It took him about two hours to give away the cards and that he could put smiles on a lot of people’s faces, including one woman he stopped after noticing the condition of her car. “Her car was really old and really damaged. I saw her windshield wipers were stuck in the up position,” Peter recalled. “I explained what I was doing and gave her a gift card, and immediately, she lit up with a smile.”
Once people overcame the initial shock of what he was doing, Peter said he received a lot more hugs that day. Monique Drier, who stayed with Peter, said Peter has always wanted to give back and didn’t really want the attention. “He didn’t even have a going-away party,” Drier said.
Peter, who started his new job three days ago, said he still wanted to continue giving back to the community. “Community service is extremely important, and when you’re fortunate in life, you should give back to others who aren’t as fortunate as you,” Peter said. “That’s what makes the world go round.”
