         Do you ever hear yourself think,"It doesn't matter"? I have come to understand that I think this way.It
    may be because I think I should do something,and I can also accept that it is unimportant.Sometimes I see negative things going on around me and think it doesn't matter.As I started working on changing this in
    myself,I came up with something that really works for me.
         Not everything can intensely matter to us,or we will drive ourselves mad with concern and worry.
    However,because procrastination(拖延)causes so many troubles in our lives,we can benefit from one
    simple question.
         When I think I should do something that perhaps I don't really feel like doing,I may think it doesn't
    matter right now.Say,for example,that you think that you need to have your roof repaired.Then you think I should call someone and have it fixed.There may be many reasons or excuses and mixed emotions behind
    the thought.Whatever you feel,you can convince yourself or accept that it doesn't matter.Ask yourself this question,"When will it matter?"After you answer this question,you may become motivated(受鼓舞的)to
    take the necessary steps.By asking and answering,this question can actually make you least resistant to
    accomplish what you want.
         I think that everything matters in life；some things just matter less than other things.Saying "It doesn't
    matter"or"I don't care"is a lie.If something is bothering you,it is because it matters to you.Therefore,the next time you think something doesn't matter,try the followup question.Perhaps the thing matters to you because you can see the consequence of ignoring it.Maybe by using the followup question you will see that it
    "matters" to you now,and avoiding the issue is unlikely to make it matter less.
         Taking action toward what matters to you is what makes the difference in your life.You have your
    reasons for saying"It doesn't matter"and asking when it will matter can help.I hope this suggestion will help you as much as it has helped me.
    1. What's the purpose of this passage?
    A. To ask readers an important question.
    B. To analyze what is important in life.
    C. To show how to ask a good question.
    D. To share tips on overcoming procrastination.
    2. According to the passage,once in a while the author________.
    A. ignores the importance of dealing with unpleasant things
    B. becomes crazy when facing difficulties
    C. believes everything matters to him
    D. tries to make no mistakes

         "Do something amazing. Save a life. Give blood."That's the message being delivered to

    using well-known personalities, such as business leader Richard Branson, to encourage people
    to donate blood.

    with the National Blood Service.There are currently l.9 million blood donors registered. Fifteen
    percent of these are lost each year because of moving, ill health, or even death. The service
    collects over 2 million donations every year. It encourages people to give blood three times
    a year and needs 8 000 blood donations every day to keep up with demand.
         Because blood donations in the UK are voluntary, the donor receives no money for their
    good act. And they must be between the ages of 17 and 60 and are asked questions about
    their health before donating. Many people are reluctant to give blood because they think it
    will be bad for their health or that they will get an infection. Whenever mobile units are in
    town, the National Blood Service hands out iriformation on how to donate blood safely to.
         The service has also worked on speeding up the donation process so that people can he
    in and out in 30 minutes. All blood is examined before use, but there have been cases where
    this has gone wrong    . In 2001, the National Health Service had to pay out 150 million dollars
    to hundreds of people who became infected with hepatitis C after receiving a blood transfusion.

        Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say
    that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their
    test results.
        If so, use these tips to help you.
    Study Techniques
        You should always study in the same place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for
    another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax.
    Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50
    percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is
    nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the
    equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a
    dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in
    a box beside it   .
         Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book
    at an angle of 30 degrees.
         Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before
    beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to
    telephone a friend or have something to eat.
    Test-taking Skills
         All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest
    is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a
    long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
         Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve
    your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
         When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and
    deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of
    everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.

    1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don't get bored.
    B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
    C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
    D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.

    2. What does the underlined word "it" refers to?

    A. Your study desk or table.  
    B. Your textbook.
    C. Your dictionary.          
    D. The equipment you need.

    3.  What can be inferred from the passage?

    A. You shouldn't look at everyone else during the test.
    B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
    C. You'll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
    D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.

         Do you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie
    you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body,
    not in your short-term memory bank.
         Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B"
    could stand for "brain", if you're one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of
    that vitamin is sunflower seeds.
         Even when you're sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two
    percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. For it to work
    properly, it must be fed. Even if you're not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your
    brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an
    orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your
    head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry,
    demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In
    Chinese culture, walnuts (核桃) are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed
    both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs
    in good working order, you'll live longer.
         However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind
    almost everything" even on those days when life's challenges are sending you in a billion directions.

    1. The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means_________.

    A. menu          
    B. dinner          
    C. calorie          
    D. cookie

    2. In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned to____________.

    A. support the idea of long life       
    B. show the importance of vitamin B-1  
    C. warn the readers of two organs      
    D. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds

    3. What can we conclude from the passage?

    A. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.  
    B. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.
    C. It doesn't make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.  
    D. Life's challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way.

    4. The best title for the passage could be_______________.

    A. Human of Memory Loss              
    B. Vitamin B-2 and Memory
    C. Forgetful? But not Brain              
    D. Chinese Culture of Long Life
