Being a good student doesn’t mean you have to drop all social activities and dive into your books．It is still possible to have a healthy social life while getting good grades．1. Here are how you can achieve it:
Decide for yourself at the start of the term that you won’t let your schoolwork sweep you away． 2.
Write down your weekly schedule on a piece of paper．Chances are that you’ll have small gaps between classes during the week and more free time at the weekend．Make sure that every time you find yourself in one of those between-class gaps you use the time efficiently．3.
Set aside at least one large amount of time each week as free time．Keep in mind the law of diminishing returns(收益递减）．Past a certain point，more hours studying will be of little benefit． 4. Protect both your free time and your school time carefully．If one starts to infringe(侵犯）on the other，that is just the beginning of a long，slippery downhill slope(斜坡）．
5. This way，you can co-ordinate(协调）your free time with theirs．
Whenever possible，find social activities that take you off campus and away from your schoolwork．
A．Balance is the key．
B．Encourage your friends to follow a similar plan．
C．It is very important to be determined about this．
D．Try not to affect others’ time and just focus on your own．
E．You’re better off spending this time with friends．
F．You can spend more time on social life than on study．
G．Read a few pages of your school books or do some quick chores(杂活)，for example．

In 1992, I had just launched a new business called Video News International.
It was the world's first video journalist network. The idea was to cover news and sell the service to news organizations.
One day, a young intern (实习生) who was working for us named Anthony Lappe pulled me aside.
"There is something you have to see," he told me. "Comcast is doing this really cool thing."
"What?"
"The Internet," he said. "It's going to be really big."
Anthony later introduced me to the head of the Internet project.
"We are looking for content to put on our network here," the guy said to me.
Well, I said I had lots of content to offer.
The guy's eyes lit up. "Cool," he said. "We would like to put it on our network."
Well, I was always looking for new clients.
"What are you going to pay?" I asked.
He said that they could not pay anything for the content, but they would set up a URL for me.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's kind of like your address on the web."
"What would I do with this URL thing?"
"Well, it could be your business."
"I don't see how it is a business, and there's not even any advertising," I cleverly replied.
"Not yet," he said. "But one day there might be."
I thought about it for two seconds.
"Naah..." I said. "I've got bigger fish to fry. I've got to be going now. Maybe we can cooperate next time."
And I walked out.
Idiot!
Well, that Internet thing turned out to be so much bigger than I had thought. I wish I had never made such a mistake. Sorry Anthony. You were right.

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U.S. The restaurants are not“fast food” . They are known as“fast casual” .
Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’ s has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald’ s net income dropped by about $300 million. The January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald’ s is struggling to get their customers back, Shake
Shack, is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share. Being part of the “fast casual ”trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the U.S. include Chipotle and Panera.
Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’ restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’ s new. It’ s creative, it’ s something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald’ s. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms. Riggs says,“It’ s growing by leaps and bounds, because they meet consumers’ needs. They know it’ s being prepared while they wait, it’ s fresh, quality food, good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices.”
Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.
1.What’ s the trouble with McDonald’ s?
A. Its share goes down to $21.
B. Shake Shack has taken its place.
C. It’ s not popular with Americans.
D. Its sales and income have dropped.
2.We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans ________.
A. don’ t like fast food any more
B. care only about the quality
C. like to try something new
D. pay more restaurant visits to fast casual
3.What does the underlined phrase“by leaps and bounds”in Para. 3 mean?
A. Steadily. B. Rapidly.
C. Slowly. D. Normally.
4.Which of the following best describes fast casual?
A. Fresh-made and tasty.
B. High-quality and expensive.
C. Farm-to-table and traditional.
D. Time-consuming and special.

A couple of years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鳄) was swimming toward the shoe. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.
Hearing her voice, the little boy became worried and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.
From the bank. the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too determined to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the injury, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pants legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.
