9、gh time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.”I usually carry on a bit about there being twentyfour hours in the day for everyone，and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduat
10、e school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard.His answer to me was， “Thats irrelevant (无关的) Whats important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (诀窍)，and I have come to some conclusionsall rele
11、vant to the problem of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter， you can identify two parts of the problem：There is，of course，the matter of “time”，which we can think of as fixed.Then there is the problem of “work” during that time.But，as my professor suggested，its not how hard one works but t
12、he quality of the product，thats important.That led me to a new idea：the quality of the work.That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office：“Dont work harder.Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you cant get more time，and few of us can，the
13、 only solution is to improve the quality of the work.That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits.Since “work” for students usually means “homework”，the expression “work habits” should be read as “study
14、 habits”Then，as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study， chiefly reading and writing.If you learn to read better and write better，there 4are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.1. From the passage，we know that the author is probably_.Aa poet Ban educator
15、Ca novelist Dan engineer2We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still_.Ahave enough time Bcan meet the presidentCget everything done well Dshould accept the explanation3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe authors students make good use of their time to do all
16、 their homework.BThe author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.CYou cant improve the quality of the work if you cant get more time.DYoull try to improve your skills in reading and writing if youre a clever student.4. Whats the passage mainly about?AStudents dont hav
17、e enough time.BDont work harder ；work smarter.CNo one can get more time.DRead better and write better.BFrom a very early age，some children exhibit better selfcontrol than others.Now， a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a childs low selfcontrol can predict
18、poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of selfcontrol the youngsters displayed.Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like “acting be
19、fore thinking” and “persistence in reaching goals.”5The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin，New Zealand.“The children who had the lowest selfcontrol when they were aged three to ten，later on had the most health problems in th
20、eir 30s， ” Moffitt said， “and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.” Moffitt explained that selfcontrol problems were widely observed，and werent just a feature of a small group of misb
21、ehaving kids.Moffitt said its still unclear why some children have better selfcontrol than others，though she said other researchers have found that its mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence.But good selfcontrol can be set to run in families because children with good sel
22、fcontrol are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news，Moffitt said，is that selfcontrol can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.5From the first two paragraphs we learn that_.Athe research has been carried out for
23、five yearsBselfcontrol in kids tends to determine their futureCselfcontrol was assessed by childrens intelligenceDchildrens selfcontrol is almost the same at early age6Children with low selfcontrol are more likely to_.Abecome wealthy in later lifeBget good school performanceChave better financial pl
24、anningDadopt negative behaviors7According to Moffitt，_.Aonly good genetic factors can shape their lives in the futureBscientists know well why some children have better selfcontrolCselfcontrol in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activityDwillpower as a child really influences peoples chance
25、s of adulthood8What can be inferred from the passage?ASelfcontrol cannot be taught in schools.6BThe study is restricted within few participants.CIts never too late to deal with selfcontrol problems.DGood parenting can improve selfcontrol and life success.完形填空语篇解读： 本文是一篇记叙文。作者从女儿出生后不久，就开始了一个爱的传统：每周作者
