CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises，once spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments：imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls，e.g.work，family，health，friends and spirit.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it，it will bounce back.But the other four balls—family，health，friends and spirit—are made of glass.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.How?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people think important.Only you know what is best for you.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.Cling to them as they would be your life，for without them，life is meaningless.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.By living your life one day at a time，you live all the days of your life.Don’t give up when you still have something to give.Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.It is this fragile thread the binds us to each together.Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.The quickest way to receive love is to give it；the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly；and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been，but also where you are going.Don’t forget a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn.Knowledge is weightless，a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly.Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race，but a journey to be savored each step of the way.Yesterday is history，tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift：that’s why we call it “The Present”．
60．Which ball is different from the other four?

A．They will keep the same as before.
B．They will be broken and never be the same as before.
C．They will strive for balance.
D．They will bounce back like rubber balls.
62．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Knowledge is the most important thing in life.
B．Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
C．Knowledge is weightless，a treasure you can always carry easily.

A new study done by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario （HEQCO） shows that it doesn't make much of a difference that parents reward their children with cash for their better marks.
Many parents have offered cash to their children in the hope that it would improve marks and possibly raise their children's interest in achieving higher marks．
The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto （UT） and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） to learn more about the potential for financial encouragement as motivation for improved marks, involved first and second year students receiving financial aid in 2008-2009 at the University of Toronto Scarborough．
The top students participating in the study who said they were "very concerned" about having enough money to complete their degrees were to receive $100 for getting a grade of 70 per cent for each one-semester course, plus $20 for every percentage point beyond that．It was imaginable that a student could earn as much as $700 for achieving 100 percent in a course．
Harvey Weingarten, president and CEO of HEQCO said, "In its efforts to help disadvantaged students by exploring the idea of paying them to attend school, the Toronto District School Board （TDSB） is asking the same question many other districts are asking about how to improve student participation and performance．Our study and others to date indicate that this practice has little effect if any in those situations where it has been tested．"
The authors of the study suggest that ineffective study habits may be a barrier to academic achievement and that the real problem may be more a lack of academic preparation than a lack of effort or motivation．They note that the availability of peer （同伴） advising does not appear to have helped greatly．They conclude that other potential avenues to improving performance, or other approaches of teaching, are needed at the high school and postsecondary levels．
【小题1】If a student gets a grade of 85% in a course, he will get _____．
| A．$100 | B．$300 | C．$400 | D．$700 |
| A．improving student participation |
| B．seeking help from different districts |
| C．paying disadvantaged students to attend school |
| D．testing student performance in the same district |
| A．academic preparation | B．effort or motivation |
| C．teaching methods | D．peer advising |
| A．Many parents have offered cash to their children． |
| B．Many first and second year students receive financial aid． |
| C．Ineffective study habits lead to poor academic achievement． |
| D．Rewarding students with cash for good grades has little effect |

Facebook users may feel socially successful in the web world but they are more likely to perform poorly in exams. The majority of students who use Facebook every day are doing badly compared with those who don’t. About 83% of British 16 to 24-year-old people are using social networking site such as Facebook and MySpace, to keep in touch with friends and organize their social activities.
“Our study shows people who spend more time on Facebook spend less time studying,” said Aryn Karpinski, a researcher. “Every generation has its distractions(娱乐), but I think Facebook is a unique phenomenon.” Karpinski and a colleague questioned 219 US undergraduates and graduates about their study and general Internet use, as well as their specific use of Facebook. They found 65% of Facebook users accessed their account daily, checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The amount of time spent on Facebook at each log-in(登录) varied from just a few minutes to more than an hour.
Some UK students have already realized the potential danger. Daisy Jones, 21, an undergraduate, realized the time she was spending on Facebook was threatening her grades, urging her to deactivate(使无效) her account, “I was in the library and tried to write a 2,000-word essay when I realized my Facebook habit had got out of hand,” she said. “I couldn’t resist going online, when thinking about it. Before you know it , a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a word.”
Jones is among the few to have realized the risks. 79% of the users, however, believed the time they spent on the site had no impact on their work. The CEO of Facebook said, “There is also academic research that shows the benefits of services like Facebook. It’s in the hands of students to decide how to spend their time.”
