Directions: Read the following passages and choose the best answers to the questions. At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. "Get out of the classroom into a job," it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. "You’re lucky, Ron," he said. "For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen without." So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week. For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety (多样性) and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success. One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business. At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October, he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; He was the only one who could keep the books. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school

A. He thought his son was doing the right thing.
B. He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.
C. He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.
D. He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.

Have you eaten too much over the holidays You should try fidgeting for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you don’ t want to) is an important way of burning up calories (卡路里). American researchers have found that some people’s squirming ( continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals (等于) several miles of slow running each day. The scientists, based at the National Institute of Heahh’s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim. In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount (量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories. The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than thin people do. We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that ______.

A. thin people burn up less calories than fat people
B. fat people burn up more calories than thin people
C. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinner
D. those who fidget more than others will be thinner

Anna Braun: So what do you propose we do ______

Don’t wait until you’re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e-mails to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and attention can still be done when you’re tired. 4. Motivate yourself! You know that TV show you’re been dying to see, or that game of chess you’re been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. There are many other special activities can be used for motivation. Promise yourself that you’ll finish your biology assignment before you go off and "play." The way, you’ll three yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush through the assignment, though) 5. Take a nap.
