Make the right choices
What is life’s greatest gift? ______ Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt (雕刻）our life. The tool doesn’t come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.
______ The reward is happiness.
Life is not still. It is a flow. ______ We constantly need to monitor where we are on
our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.______ And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.

We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer, to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home. We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.
Today, I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children from an even more deadly threat. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. consider this: 3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it.
For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they begin to try, starting a nationwide campaign to educate them about the dangers of smoking to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.
That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop three million children from smoking and save a million lives as a result. So this is an emergency that needs quick action of all of you.

William Shakespeare once wrote, “Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.” While this may be a stretch, the principle is correct. 1
Throughout your life, you will encounter similar circumstances that require punctuality, such as handing in homework assignments; arriving at school, a job or a meeting; picking up someone from the airport, school, work, etc. avoid embarrassing moments by ridding yourself of any tendency to be late.
Here are some tips:
● Learn to manage your time wisely, which includes setting deadlines. There are a fixed number of minutes in a day---and only one of you. 2
● 3 This ensures they do not assume that you will be available for other projects.
● Procrastination(拖延) is a thief of time---avoid it at all costs! This includes waiting until the last second to start a task simply because you find it unpleasant.
4 Worrying about it will not accomplish anything!
● Before agreeing on a particular time for something, think about other events that might interfere.
● Try counting back from the scheduled time to figure out when you should begin getting ready. 5 For example, if you are scheduled to be at work at 9:00 a.m., a 30-minute car ride makes it 8:30, 15 minutes to eat breakfast makes it 8:15, and 30 minutes for grooming(洗刷) makes it 7:45, and so on.
| A．If a task is difficult, do it first. |
| B．It is always better to be early rather than late. |
| C．Make sure others are aware of your deadlines. |
| D．A few minutes delay may not be a serious matter. |
E. Moreover, habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence (懒散) and even failure in life.
F. Do not worry about the particular order of events; just assign(分配) time values to each.
G. Taking on too many responsibilities means that something will not be finished on time.

This report presents details of home computers used by a random sample (随机抽样) of young people. It is a common idea that teenagers today know about computers and know how to use them in all aspects of their lives. We decided to try to find out whether that was true.
All the teenagers we chose said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they spent on their computers in an average week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for. The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user averaging 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours.
Fourteen teenagers told us they did some word processing at home, but not very much. Only 2 of them said that computers helped them with their studies, while 8 of them told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 of them said they were learning to program computers, and nobody looked up information (other than their address lists).
The results indicate quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than game machines. It seems to us that, although computers are common in the homes of teenagers, they have not yet become useful tools in everyday life.
| A．There no big difference between boys and girls. |
| B．All of the teenagers questioned said they regularly used to play games. |
| C．We questioned thirty young people between 14 and 18. |
| D．But some adults admitted that they had no computers at home. |
E. None of them used their computers for any other purpose.
F. I don’t know how important a computer is for teenagers.
G. The other important users are for word processing and organizing address lists.
