When I moved into an empty dormitory for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things. Firstly, I realized that I didn’t 31 anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and 32 something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around.

The first 33 frightened me in the beginning. But that 34 quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals 35 ended up being my difficulties. I knew that it was 36 to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to 37 in both. I knew this would be a 38 , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began.

I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 39 , instead of finishing my homework 40 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 41 wasn’t very good and the grade I 42 showed my lack of effort.

I was 43 that I needed to find some sort of balance.

So I created a schedule that would 44 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 45 I was only able to 46 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.

So I tried another 47. Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week.

Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I 48 a list of things I could do if I had time.

This is the method I have used since then. I’m glad that I’ve learned to 49 things and it has 50 prepare me for what is to come after graduation.

       Advertisers firmly believe images of tasty foods persuade people to buy the goods  38  psychologist Floor Kroese thought that temptation(诱惑) might in fact heighten self-control. To prove this theory, Kroese and her colleagues,   39  a memory test, asked fifty-four  40  students to look at a picture of either a slice of chocolate cake or a flower. The researchers then questioned the students about their diets and offered them a choice between  41  and the oatmeal cookie.

       Women shown the cake picture gave a higher priority to their healthy eating  42  than those shown the flower. They were also significantly more likely to pick the oatmeal cookie – which was generally considered as the healthier choice.

       “It seems that seeing a food temptation reminded people of their goals of watching their weight, and thus  43  them to act in an appropriate manner,” says Kroese.

           44  studies suggested that smelling tasty, unhealthy foods made people rate healthy eating as highly important, but this is the first research to look at how seeing unhealthy foods  45  snacking behavior.

          Kroese suggests that sticking pictures of tempting foods on the refrigerator door may help bring weight-watching goals to mind. But she   46  that the results can only be applied to women wanting to lose weight; it is unclear whether they would be so to the general  47  .

           The findings suggest that while very tempting images seem to remind people of their weight-loss goals, weekly attractive images perhaps could then be more dangerous.

IF and WHEN often had lunch together. Their conversation always  16  on the things they hoped to achieve and they loved to talk about them. 

This particular Saturday when they met for lunch, WHEN  17  IF wasn’t in a great mood（心情）. After they sat at the usual table  18  for them, WHEN asked IF, “You don’t seem your usual  19  self?” IF replied,“Yesterday I saw a course I wanted to take. If only I  20  the time.”

WHEN knew exactly how IF felt and said, “I too saw a   21   and I’ m going to register when I get   22   money.” WHEN then questioned IF, “What about the new job you were going to apply for?” IF answered, “I would have applied, but my  23  broke down. I couldn’t type my resume(简历).”

“Don’t worry. I’ve been thinking about looking for another job also,  24  I’ll wait and when the weather gets  25  I will look then. I hate this awful weather.”

The man sitting nearby heard them talking about when this and if that. When he couldn’t  26  it anymore, he went to them and said, “I think I know  27  you could solve your problems.”

IF smiled and thought that even if he knew the  28  they faced, there was no way he could help!   29  , IF asked the man for advice. The man said, “Your conversation reminds me of an old   30  : IF and WHEN were planted, and nothing   31   .”

IF and WHEN both looked surprised and began to feel   32   of living their life for the “ifs” and “whens”. Finally they came to a(n)   33  : next time they met, there would be no “ifs” or “whens”; they would   34   talk about what they had  35  !
