And if you dont know for sure, its a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or

27、 computer screen; or maybe youre riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (儀表板).Even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (調節(jié)) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of c

28、hemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions. Time is something from which we cant escape. Even if we ignore it, its still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Whos in charge?” We can allow time t

29、o slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, youll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more

30、 time youll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, la

31、rgely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56.

We can see its light and feel its warm

34、th. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸發(fā)) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the

35、 Earths surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earths surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water

36、 cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earths surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy fr

37、om the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, youve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight fal

38、ls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is _.

39、A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakes C. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky60. Only a small part of the Suns energy reaches the Earths surface because most of it _. A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere B. reflected by the gases in the upper

40、 atmosphere C. lost in the upper and lower atmosphere D. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes61. We learn from the passage that _. A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food B. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy C. only 0.023% of the en

41、ergy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth D. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earths surfaceCGallery Policiesfor Visitors to National Gallery of Art, WashingtonVisitors must present all carried items for inspection upon entry.

51、e old man. College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and no

52、thing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night.

Yes, I heard you. its been so long since I

53、 thought of him. Im sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didnt forget you. Every time I saw him hed ask how you were doing.

54、Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a mans influence in your life,” she said.“Hes the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldnt be in this business if it werent for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I

55、ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belsers funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopp

56、ed by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture Jack stopped suddenly.“Whats wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his
