Balancing College Life and Academics 1。 Control Your Schedule; Don’t Let Your Schedule Control You Organization and time management skills are two of the most valuable skills you will ever have. One of the first things you should do at the beginning of each semester is organize the dates of all class tests and project deadlines from each syllabus, and all required meetings and events from each organization。 All obligations should then be logged into a centralized schedule you keep at all times， such as a daily planner, desk calendar, or even a PDA （personal digital assistant)。 For the next 4 months， you now know exactly what you must schedule the rest of your life around. Next, it is highly recommended for you to set a schedule for yourself in writing to include all other items you want to create as a routine. Most importantly， this should include times of study, such as every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30—6：30。 Physically block off these time periods every Tuesday and Thursday for the rest of the semester. Of course, the most important part of creating a schedule is sticking to it！ So, be disciplined enough to schedule any other activities that are less important around those that are most important。 2。 Ask for Help When You Need It Whether it involves academics or organizational responsibilities, everyone comes to a point where they feel overwhelmed. This is what friends, fellow members, and other university resources are there for. Unfortunately， there are several reasons why people don't seek help when it is available。 Some people try to take on too ninth, trying to prove to themselves that \"I can do this all on my own”. Some may not want to admit to people that they \"can’t handle everything。” Others may feel they must do everything all on their own， because only then will they know it will get done right and on time （an early signal of being a control freak）. Academically, seek out help when you don’t understand something. There should be plenty of resources available, from writing centers， to computer labs， to graduate assistants, to your professors who offer office hours。 There are also other students who may understand that subject better， or who have even taken the course before. Especially in very large classes, some students may be intimidated to ask for help. But, the sole purpose of the institution and all of these resources is to help you learn. So use them. Ask for rope to be thrown down before you drown! 3.
Keep a Firm Grasp on Your Priorities Understanding what your PRIORITIES are each and every day is one of the biggest keys to college success. It is also one of the easiest concepts to lose track of. It is a fast—paced world， where it is easy to become sidetracked with social activities, TV shows, video games, etc。 Some people carry a card in their wallet, or even a card on their PC， where they list the top 1—5 priorities in their life。 Everyone has exactly 24 hours each day. People who achieve more in life simply make better use of their 24 hours each day than everyone else. What you do with each of your 24 hours has as much to do with your success during college as an other factor. There is an old saying that \"if it's important enough to you, you make time for it。\" Be sure that nobody is in charge of your time except for you。 It is one of the most valuable assets you have。 4。 Don't Wait Until the End of Your College Career to Stop Procrastinating （延迟） Whether it is an event or a semester project that is two months away， ask yourself each day \"What can be done now instead of later？” Write clown when you are going to do something, not simply when something is due. Set deadlines for yourself， and put them in writing. Then stick toil. Most people procrastinate because the activity they are supposed to do is not as desirable as what they would rather be doing。 However, if you complete tasks early， you can enjoy your leisure time worry-free。 This is one of the biggest ways to alleviate stress. If it is the 3rd day of the month, and there is a project due on the 28th of the month, most students hardly have that project on the radar screen vet。 Then they see the project creep up on their calendar on the 24th or 25th， and they say \"Uh-oh！ ”Further， they realize there is an event planned on the 26th， and they have to work at their part-time job on the 27th！ This lack of planning is what leads to either missed deadlines， or turning a project in on time， but with poor quality. In addition to poor quality， it also led to undue stress for 4 days. One easy way to tackle projects ahead of time is to break the project down into several smaller ones。 For example, instead of writing a 10—page paper in one night， write l-page per day for 10 days, or 1—page every other day。 This will save time， increase quality, and decrease stress。 5. Go to Class That’s right. Skipping class is one of the most dangerous， yet tempting habits on college campuses today. Sure, you might be able to miss a class here and there—perhaps even miss a lot of classes—and still pass if you cram hard enough. However， don’t make things hard on your self, make things easy。 The more you attend class, the less you have to study, and the more time you have for the everything else you want or need to do. Professors also have a way of telling you what will be on the test， and explaining the answers in class-but you are only privy to that if you are actually in class. Try to get in the habit of forcing yourself to sit in the FRONT of the class, especially in large classes. Studies show that students retain more information, and pay more attention, even if they don't realize it。 It also helps keep you awake。 That usually allows you to take better notes， as well. 6。 Find a Mentor or Example of a Great Student Lifer in Your Organization Almost every organization has one or more students who are shining examples of the balance between extra-curricular activities and academics. They make the Dean’s List every semester, hold an important office in the organization， work part—time， and even have a girlfriend or boyfriend。 Everyone seems to ask ”How do they do it？\" So， are they smarter than you? In most cases, ABSOLUTELY NOT！ There have been literally millions of college students that were \"smart enough” to graduate， but who failed in the areas of time management, priorities, and responsibilities. So, understand the habits of those who are successful at balancing college life and academics. Ask them what their secrets are， and they will surely be willing to help. 7. Have Fun！ Ok, so most college students don't need help with this tip， right？ However, enjoy it while you can—you are only in college
once！ Many Americans recall their college days as tile best time of their life。 Believe it or not, professors, administrators， and us college speakers want you to en enjoy every minute of it！ Making efficient use of your time and controlling your schedule are important ingredients in being able to enjoy yourself。 They allow you to alleviate stress and succeed both inside and outside the classroom, so you can have a BLAST during your college career。 Good luck!

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension （Reading in Depth） Section A Directions： In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。 You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once。
Motorways are no doubt the safest roads in the country. Mile for mile, vehicle for vehicle you are much less likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary， road. On the other hand， motorways have a far better accident record than any other part of our national road system
because of the speed and volume of traffic。 If you do have a serious accident on a motorway， fatalities are much more likely to occur than in a comparable accident elsewhere on the roads。 It is reported that motorway accidents account for some 10% of all injuries out side urban areas。 Motorways have no sharp, bends， no roundabouts or traffic lights and thus speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70 m.p.h, limit is still in force, it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30 m.p。h, limit applied in built-up areas in Britain。 Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in convoys with perhaps barely ten meters between each vehicle。 The resulting horrific pile-ups involving maybe hundred vehicles when one vehicle stops for some reason—mechanical failure， driver error and so on—have become all too familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How many of these drives realize that it takes a car about one hundred meters to brake to a stop from 70 m。p.h.？ Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete immunity from the caprices （多变）of the weather。 However wet the road， whatever the visibility in mist or fog, they plough at ludicrous （滑稽的) speeds oblivious （不以为然的) of police warnings or speed restrictions until their journey comes to a premature conclusion. Perhaps one remedy for this motorway madness would be better driver education. Twenty eight per cent of the motorcyclists polled for National Motorway Month wanted motorists to receive formal training in motorway driving before being allowed down a slip road。 At present。 learner drivers are barred from motorways and are thus as far as this kind of driving is concerned， thrown in at the deep end. However much more efficient policing is required of, it is the duty of the police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own folly.
48. According to the writer， as far as safety is concerned， the two sides of driving on motor ways are that motorways are ______。

Section B Directions： There are 2 passages in this section。 Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements。 For each of them there are four choices marked [A］、［B]、[C] and ［D]。 You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One The poor old consumer! We’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap。 But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods。 Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read。 Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price， etc, from an advertisement。 Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements， but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days。 And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements。 Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway bylaws while waiting for a train？ Would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities. We must not forget， either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets。 Newspapers， commercial ration and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper， or can enjoy so many broadcast pro grams is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers。 Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn't forget is the ”small ads”， which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community！ Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns。 For instance， you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth， marriage or death in what used to be called the \"hatch,’ match and dispatch\" column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or \"agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature。 It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is! 53。 We are different from the old consumers in that ______。 A: we have cheap goods because of heavy advertising
B： we know to inform is one of the functions of advertising C： we have much knowledge about household goods
D: we believe the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods

54. What does advertising do with the products we already know about？ A： To introduce their new functions.
B: To compare them with new products of the same sort. C: To tell that they are still available.
D： To correct any impropriate information about them。

B: It is included in the ”hatch, match and dispatch\" column. C： It mainly consists of distressful news。
D： It provides most helpful advertisements for households.

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage。 It was going to have roughly the effect of a neutron bomb attack on high streets and shop ping malls。 The buildings would be left standing but the people would vanish. Such was the superior efficiency of selling things via the Internet that brick—and-mortar stores would be unable to compete on price, choice or even service。 Book and music sellers had already been \"Amazoned”. Soon web-based ”category—killers\in everything from toys to pet supplies， would overwhelm their physical—world competitors。 Shoppers would never be more than a mouse-click from the best deals。 Traditional retailers, terrified of cannibalizing (同类相食） sales and destroying the value of their expensive properties, were already too late to meet the challenge。 ”In some categories,” said Mary Meeker， a seer (预言家) of the Internet at Morgan Stanley, \"it's already game over。\" These are convenient beliefs
for anyone justifying some e—commerce share prices, but they are already mostly wrong。 The reasons should surprise no one. The Internet is not a dominant technology but rather a network of people. It is a rich and highly flexible means of communicating that is rapidly achieving pervasiveness because more and more people find it easy and convenient to use. But it is those people’s preferences that will count； and for most people， shopping is more than just a means to an end. Even if the Internet provided a perfectly efficient way to shop it would not provide a satisfactory alternative to the physical enjoyment of sniffing a ripe melon, say， or trying on a cashmere sweater. Of course, some products, such as music and banking, can be distributed electronically with success and cost saving. But most purchases cannot be reduced to digital code. And distributing physical goods is cumbersome (笨重的) and expensive。 Behind even the most exciting user interface there are old-fashioned warehouses and lorries， customers who decline to sit at home waiting for purchases to arrive, and goods that must be re-wrapped and expensively returned. No wonder that the cost of getting goods to customers’ homes so often soaks up the notional price advantages of e—commerce。 What Internet shoppers have quickly realized is that the web is an addition to, and not a substitute for, their shopping habits。 It is wonderful for gathering up-to—date information about products and prices. Cyber Dialogue， a research firm， estimates that in 1998 23m Americans sought information online, but then made their purchases offline， compared with only 17.7m who did the whole thing online。
58. The author compares ______ of the online sale to the effect of neutron bomb attack。 A: the efficiency B: the choice C： the price D： the service

C: online retailers have prevailed over traditional ones in the market of certain products D： online retailers have destroyed the value of traditional retailers’ properties
