Recent research has shown that people who value their time over the pursuit of wealth are happier. So how can you best make, save and use your time — and ensure you keep a smile on your face?
● Pay someone to do the housework you hate
Why waste precious hours on housework or gardening if you can get someone else to do it?
● Set time limits on tasks you can't avoid
Give yourself 20 minutes for necessary cleaning or 10 to hang out the washing.
● Enjoy standing in that queue
With three people in front of you at the checkout, think about how busy you usually are and see the wait as a gift, not a bore(烦人的事情).
● Take on one new activity at a time
At work and at home, be careful about the duties you take on. If you already feel stressed at work, don't do more at home.
● Learn to say no
Be firm by declining a new project, or telling someone you can't talk right now or that you can only talk for a couple of minutes.
● Make lists your friend
Start a wish list of the things you'd like to do and do more of the items that simply make you feel happy. Keep your daily to-do list manageable by putting it on an index card.
A. Be friendly but firm.
B. Make sure you start with an easy task.
C. This will get boring jobs out of the way faster.
D. Intending to do several things at once can be tiring.
E. Think about things that interest you, or wait patiently.
F. Trying to master too many new things at once can be unpleasing.
G. Recall things you're grateful for, talk to another customer or read a magazine.

On May 14th, 2016, three foreigners saved a drowning(溺水的)Chinese girl.
Roman and Krill are Russian first-year college students. That Saturday, they were standing by the river near Shanghai Jianqiao University with their teacher, Bastien, a teacher from France at Jianqiao University. Then they saw someone “swimming”.
The three said the “swimmer” seemed to be drowning. They rushed to help, though they didn't hear any cries, and found a girl in the water.
Roman jumped into the water at once. He swam to the girl and quickly caught her arm. Then Krill came to Roman and held his hand. Bastien held on to the bank with one hand, while holding Krill with the other hand.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。C
The main aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver, Hodgson points out, ＂For the sake of safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.＂
It's a theme that Elon Musk, head of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long supported. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla's 2017 goal was ＂to do a demonstration ( 示 范 ) drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York...and have the car park itself.＂
However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome — the software needs further confirmation and the appropriate regulatory (监管的) approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn't ready yet.
The UK government appears determined to encourage the development of autonomous vehicles. It's supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account issues such as insurance liability when a human isn't in control of a vehicle.
The insurance industry is similarly keen to promote increasing autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out: ＂More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors.＂ This costs motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
（1）In Hodgson's opinion, what is the problem with the driverless cars?
A.Whether it is true that the faster you can remove humans, the better.
B.Who can explain why there are still a few accidents by driverless cars.
C.How to deal with the new causes of accidents resulting from driverless cars.
D.Whether to balance the number injured or killed with the people whose lives may be saved.
（2）Why is the insurance industry in favor of driverless cars?
A.Because they can make their insurers save money in claim.
B.Because it is drivers' errors that lead to over 90% road accidents.
C.Because human errors cost motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
D.Because motor insurers believe driverless cars will never cause any road accidents.
（3）Which is the best title of the passage?
A.The advantages of driverless cars.
B.The disadvantages of driverless cars.
C.Driverless cars in future.
D.The development of driverless cars.

English is an excellent language to learn, whether it's for business, travel or personal reasons. Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English.
When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Don't wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today. You'll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you—you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.
Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find it's very difficult to understand if you don't work on your pronunciation. Correct , clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them.
The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence—this is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time.
Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis(重点) is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking “correct” English.
（1）What is the best title of the text?
A.Ways of improving your spoken English
B.English is an excellent language to learn
C.English is useful for business and travels
D.How to learn English grammar clearly
（2）The writer suggested people start practicing when________.
A.they feel comfortable
B.they meet the surprising thing
C.they have any time
D.they improve their language skills
（3）What is the best way to improve the pronunciation?
A.Just remember the grammar.
B.Make sure how words are read and copy them.
C.Try the best to remember the spelling of the words.
D.Speak English when you “feel more comfortable”.
（4）We can learn from the passage that_________.
A.it's not necessary to find a native English speaker with whom you can practice speaking English
B.native English speakers can understand you easily if you have a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary
C.An English party is a good place where you can learn the correct way of speaking
D.Using a new word or phrase in a sentence is the best way to memorize it

High school is a time that we may meet many good teachers. When I was in Senior One, I met a teacher who name is John. He was very old, and taught us chemistry well. He tried his best to make her classes lively. He usually made good preparation for the lessons and was strict with us, too. Whenever we made mistakes in our homework, he would ask us to correcting them. I was used to be poor in chemistry. He often helps me with my studies very patient.

Treat others with respect. The golden rule, “Do unto others what you would like others to do unto you”, always holds true. If you cannot respect other people, do not expect them to respect you. 【1】 Watch your attitude and change those ones that are hurting your relationship with others. If you notice people avoiding you or laughing at you behind your back, they are not showing you respect.【2】 By doing so, you will find out which areas you need to improve to get the respect you deserve.

【3】 Knowing who you are and valuing yourself as a person with a clear and fierce determination will eventually make you outstanding. People will respect individuals who believe in themselves.

Earn the respect. If you think you can demand respect from others by force, you are wrong. 【4】 Manipulating (操纵) others in order to gain respect is not only dangerous, but you are also making a fool of yourself. Humble yourself and work hard to become a respectable person. Your efforts will be rewarded by the respect, people give back to you.
