Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you're a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.

Time management. There are just 24 hours in each day. What you do with that time makes all the difference. While high-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time, college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.

Good study habits. If you've got them, it's great. If not, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following :

? Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly. No cutting!

? Finish homework in a timely manner.

? Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.

? Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don't have homework or a test the next day!

Good note-taking. You can't possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important material. Note-taking should be in a way that's the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes!

Review of daily notes. Don't wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate's notes. Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal:

mastery of the subject or skill.

Avalanches (雪崩) are one of those natural disasters that can cause great damage and only Mother Nature knows when and where they are going to occur. Even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. Mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year.

The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. There are times of higher probability. During the year, the transition（转变）from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger(引起) avalanches. Also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change.

While climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the climbers should be kept. If an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.

Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. If an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe.

Climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope. Avalanches won’t occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.

Remember that, if you get stuck in an avalanche, there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport.

5. What do we know from the first paragraph?

A. Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.

B. Of all the natural disasters, avalanches cause the greatest damage.

C. Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention to

avalanches.

D. With the development of science and technology, avalanches can now be predicted exactly.

6. Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?

A. Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain.

B. Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.

C. Because temperature changes at daybreak.

D. Because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak.

7. It wouldn’t be a good idea for a climber to _______ while climbing a

mountain.

A. Keep some distance from other climbers

B. Avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.

C. Choose areas that he or she is familiar with

D. Climb up a slope which is between 25 and 40 degrees

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected----much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."

8. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

A. twenty-three hundred

B. thirteen hundred
