As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you can’t figure out what to do first.
1.
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important. One of the best ways to see the big picture - what you want out of life - is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal With Them
Confused or overwhelmed - talk to someone you trust.2.. They may help you find solutions to your problems and worries.
Being too hard on yourself - ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out with friends — anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems — recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once.3..
Goal-Setting Tips
It’s important to remember that goals belong to you — not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends. After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals.4.. Try the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
Goals exist to serve you. If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals.5.. Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal — see what steps you can take to achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A. Too much to do
B. Balancing goals in life
C. Consider ways to overcome them
D. Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher
E. Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later
F. As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t
G. If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need, do some research
US scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs (细菌) than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15C (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38C (100F).
National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water —given to the food industry in the US - held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15C (59F), 26C (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.
Prof Donald Schaffner said: “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.”
However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.
In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various .ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.
1.What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Proved. B. Created.
C. Contradicted. D. Accepted.
2.After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, .
A. volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removed
B. volunteers all talked about American food industry
C. volunteers still had much germ on their hands
D. volunteers all didn’t feel very comfortable
3.How do researchers feel about their study?
A. It is popular. B. It is incomplete.
C. It is convincing. D. It is abstract.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Using Cold Water Instead of Hot Water
B. How to Use Cold Water to Wash Hands
C. It Is Better to Wash Hands in Cold Water
D. Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as in Hot Water
