I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

So your room is a pile of unfinished projects, unsorted papers, a soccer sweater from last fall, and – beneath it all – puzzle pieces and pet food. You catch some old banana peel and dirty socks every time you walk in the door and you can’t see the top of your bed. ‘No baseball until your room is clean!’ your parents say.
Some kids seem to be born tidy. But if you were not, you probably hear ‘clean your room’ and ‘put piles under the bed and into the closet.’ You also know, though, that this kind of cleaning is just a quick fix.
Wouldn’t you like to clean up your room for good? A real clean-up job is not such a monumental task if you learn a few timesaving ‘tricks of trade’.
If you share a room, get your brother or sister to help. Then collect a pile of big boxes, and take a kitchen timer into your room, and you’re ready for the two easy steps that will turn you into a super sorter!
Do a ‘Big Sort’.
Think about what’s in that mess of stuff in your room.
A big job seems smaller when it’s broken into parts. Write different names on the empty boxes to fit the contents of your room. Write ‘Give Away’ on one box for things you don’t want. Draw a big ‘?’ on another box for those things that don’t belong anywhere else.
Set the timer for 60 minutes. Working for just an hour at a time, you won’t feel as if you’re climbing a mountain of messiness. Ready, set, GO! Put letters from friends and unsorted school papers into a ‘Papers’ box. Put the helmet in with ‘Sports Equipment.’ Throw stinky socks and dirty sweatshirts in a laundry basket. Hang up clothes that belong in the closet. Keep going! Pair your shoes and line them up next to your bed (or in your closet, if there is room). Put dirty dishes in the hall to take to the kitchen later. Take a look around. There’s your bed! Dad’s missing hammer! Tuesday’s homework assignment! Things are getting neater. Toss (扔) trash into the wastebasket.
Depending on how messy your room is, this Big Sort could take several sessions. Keep at it!
Plan where things should live.
Handle one of your Big Sort groups at a time. Do the items in your groups already have a home, and they just aren’t in it? Or do they need a ‘place to call home’?
Dirty clothes, for example: if you usually toss them on the floor, put a clothes basket behind your door. Ready, aim… shoot your clothes into the basket. Score!
Store similar supplies in one place. Desk supplies can go into the bottom and lid of an empty egg carton. Put puzzle piece in small empty gift boxes. Keep hobby supplies in plastic bags.
Draw a map of your room to figure out where to put things. Once everything has a home, you can train yourself to put items in their place as soon as you’re done with them. That makes it much easier to keep your room neat.
1.What behavior is regarded as a quick fix?
A. Leaving the soccer jersey on the door.
B. Tossing the old banana peel into the dustbin.
C. Cleaning up the room by hiding everything.
D. Tiding up the room with ‘tricks of trade’.
2.Why does the writer suggest setting a timer while you clean your room?
A. Whatever you haven’t cleaned in an hour is not worth keeping
B. An hour is all the time it takes to clean your entire room.
C. Working for an hour at a time makes a big job seem smaller.
D. Training yourself to put items in their place takes time.[
3.What does the writer say will help you ‘find homes’ for all of your things?
A. Cleaning your kitchen. B. Drawing a map of your room.
C. Throwing away boxes. D. Tossing the unwanted on the floor.

GRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, a 78 old, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. "I slipped into a valley!" said Mrs. Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.
It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. "I wasn’t afraid," said Mrs Riotton. "But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me." Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.
She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. "There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive," said Mr Fossard. "It was a miracle that Michele was finally found."
Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. "Enough is enough!" she said. "No more forests--I don’t want to visit one again."
A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. "The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings," he said. "Anybody walking into the mountains should carry safety equipment and be prepared for any kind of emergency."
1.When Michelle Riotton was in the valley, she _________.
A. was hurt too badly to move B. missed her home very much
C. didn’t feel afraid D. felt very hungry
2.Michelle Riotton covered herself with leaves to __________.
A. keep warm during her suffering B. prevent the harmful animals
C. make herself noticed by others D. avoid getting wet in the rain
3.Michelle Riotton got lost on _________.
A. Saturday B. Monday
C. Wednesday D. Sunday
4.According to the mountain policeman, _________.
A. the mountains in the morning are very dangerous
B. one had better not walk in the mountains alone
C. people should carry safety equipment every day
D. people wouldn’t be safe without a mobile phone

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.
1.But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7; 30 am, try getting up at 7:00 am. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 2.
Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first （not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）.You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
3.The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 4.Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
5.
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted over the course of a day. When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
A．Stay Focused on Your Work
B．Take Breaks When Necessary
C．If you have an office door, close it
D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start

科目：高中英语 来源：“超级全能生”浙江省2017届高三3月联考英语试卷（有答案） 题型：阅读理解
Throughout your life you will have many different kinds of relationships. Some relationships are casual and some are close. Strong, close relationships are fulfilling(有意义的). Most people need at least a few relationships of this type.
Ben liked to tell this story about his good friend Isaac: “Once after a big storm, tree branches were all over the yard, which meant I had a full morning of work. Then Isaac came, saying that since I had offered to drive us to the football game that afternoon, he wanted to save me the trouble of picking him up. He was three hours early, however, and he ‘just happened’ to have a rake(耙子) and heavy work gloves with him.”
Isaac showed he understood a basic principle of strong relationships: both sides give as well as receive, otherwise the relationship is unlikely to last.
In strong relationships, giving and getting are united. You feel worthy as a person when you have something to give. When you receive, you give thanks and show appreciation. The cycle of giving and receiving is on going.
One way to help keep relationships strong is to give a word of thanks to anyone who helps you. People can feel hurt if their help isn't acknowledged. For example, Amrit was growing frustrated because Curtis kept calling for help with his homework. So one day when Curtis called, he even thought about telling his brother to say that he wasn't at home. He was glad he didn't. Curtis had called to say how well he had done in his test and to thank Amrit for his help. Saying those two simple words-“Thank you”-can carry a relationship through rough times.
1.What's the author's purpose of mentioning Ben's good friend, Isaac’s story?
A. To explain strong relationships are based on both sides' giving and receiving.
B. To convince the readers that Isaac is one of Ben's trustworthy friends
C. To show that Ben owns the strongest relationship with Isaac.
D. To show what a close relationship can bring to both sides.
2.What does the underlined phrase “on going” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Getting around. B. Continuous.
C. Moving forward. D. Unavoidable.
3.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. some examples of giving and receiving
B. people need different types of relationships
C. how to build and keep strong relationships through giving and receiving
D. one should remember to give thanks to others from time to time
