27、   Homework is a major part of going to school: It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. 【1】Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less burden.

Be sure you understand the homework

Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. 【2】 It’s much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

Use any extra time in school

Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It’ s tempting (诱惑人的) to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured (松散的) time. 【3】

Take a break

【4】So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

【5】

If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high-school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you’ve got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch, you’ll need to devote more time to homework. It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.

A. Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.

B. And it helps digest important concepts.

C. Plan yourself.

D. Settle down to homework.

E. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected in your homework.

F. But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.

G. Most people’s attention spans (跨度) aren’t very long.

28、   Before you throw your trash into the nearest can, think for a moment. Not all your garbage can be dumped into one trashcan. It needs to be sorted out with different things going into different bins. Waste classification, a practice that has long been normal in developed countries like Japan, is the new challenge for many Chinese urban residents. However, though initially you might need to rack your brains to figure out which trash goes into which can, in the long run, the result is well worth the effort.

Landfills, sites where waste is buried and covered over with soil, are a major method of disposing of residential waste in China. However, considering the environmental disaster associated with burying waste, there is a pressing need to reduce the amount of waste that goes into a landfill. Classification, sorting waste into different categories such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, is a key solution.

Currently, 46 cities across China, are carrying out a program that aims to put in place a classification-based garbage disposal system by the end of 2020. It is hoped that this will reduce the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills by a large degree. Shanghai came into the media focus in early July after it carried out compulsory garbage sorting rules that those who fail to dispose of garbage properly should be fined. Beijing is reviewing its regulations to follow in Shanghai’s footsteps. The new rules may cause short-term inconvenience but they are meant to help residents follow the concept of garbage classification for the common good.

As the programs show, residents can gradually develop this habit with their growing consciousness and the help of advanced technology. In future, this practice should be adopted across China, in urban cities and rural areas alike. With public involvement, China’s garbage sorting program will contribute not only to the nation’s sustainable (可持续的) development but also to making the planet a better place to live in.

【1】What is the most probable reason for classifying waste？

A.No site for burying waste. B.People’s habit.

C.Economic cost. D.Environmental pollution.

【2】What is the purpose of the program？

A.To practise waste classification. B.To protect environment.

C.To save oil for farming. D.To reduce the quantity of waste.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text？

A.A program adopted across China B.Shanghai carried out new disposal rules

C.Doing the best with waste D.Protecting environment is necessary

29、We all have times in our lives when we just have too many things to deal with.【1】Well, that’s crazy, because if you get ill then you're going to be able to do nothing. Here are some ideas to take care of yourself.

【2】 Living with clutter(杂乱)and never being able to find what you need when you need it causes stress. Take time to develop a system and then use it. Instead of keeping all the things you need to do in your head, write them down on a piece of paper.

Devote 30 minutes per day to personal development materials. 【3】 And negative ones will disappear. If we want to be successful in work and life, we need to develop the habit of feeding our minds in a positive way. So take in good inspiring information.

Say no to anything that is not important to you. Give yourself permission to concentrate on what's important. Getting the unessential, tiresome responsibilities off your schedule will give you more time and space. 【4】

Take 5-minute mini-breaks every hour. 【5】 So no matter how efficiently you work, you should always let your mind wander or end up spending time doing other things when you try to keep going hour after hour. Instead, break up each hour by getting up from your chair and walking outside to take a 5-minute break.

A．Get organized.

B．Write a daily gratitude list.

C．You can't stay focused all the time.

D．Fill your minds with positive thoughts.
