Time is something from which we can' t escape.  Even if we ignore it, it's still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the main issue in using your time well is "Who's in charge?" We can allow time to slip by {#blank#}2{#/blank#} let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ally(同盟) .

    By taking control of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming {#blank#}5{#/blank#} more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote {#blank#}6{#/blank#} your studies, the more time you'II have to spend on your outside interests .

    The aim of time management is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable {#blank#}8{#/blank#} governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time.

    My feelings about science have {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(complete) changed. More than one science teachers at my new school{#blank#}2{#/blank#} excellent and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(friend). The science{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(facility) are very good with laboratories that have all the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(late) equipment. Our chemistry teacher takes us to public science lectures about four times{#blank#}6{#/blank#} term，{#blank#}7{#/blank#}are always interesting, because the lecturers are famous at their area of science. In the last 20 years, seven Canadian scientists{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(win) the Nobel Prize. Now{#blank#}9{#/blank#}I'm becoming more and more interested in is physics and I want to study it at university. But my parents are{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(astonish), as they always thought I would become an English teacher.

    Hua Mulan was a brave girl in the Northern Wei dynasty. She disguised (假扮){#blank#}1{#/blank#} (her) as a man, and joined the army in place of her father. Mulan's father, once{#blank#}2{#/blank#} soldier, taught his daughter military (军事的) skills{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(include)horse riding and how to fight. Hua Mulan also read her father's books{#blank#}4{#/blank#} military science.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(drive) away the Rouran nomads (游牧民族), the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(rule) of Northern Wei ordered that every family should send a man off to war against them. Mulan's old father, as well as her young brother, was not able to go and fight. So Mulan {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(decide) to join the army instead of her father. Mulan fought for 12 years{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (successful) without her true identity being discovered.  Mulan became a hero{#blank#}9{#/blank#} bravery moved people greatly, and she{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(offer) a high position, but she refused it.

    Even though her story might be no more than a legend, Hua Mulan has been respected as a filial (孝顺的) daughter by Chinese people for hundreds of years.

    For some US college students, a break from school is a time to volunteer {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (help) communities in need. They take part in activities {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (organize) by school to do voluntary work.

    This spring break, I had the opportunity to go on one of these trips, and it was the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) week of my entire life. I went with twelve other students and two adults down to Rocky Mount, North Carolina in the US. We worked on three houses, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (build) roofs, painting, and decorating.

    It was very rewarding to see how much we {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (appreciate) by the people living in that town. Every time we went out somewhere for dinner, people came up to us to express {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) appreciation. This made us foul really good and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (encourage) us to get more done each day.

    The trip wasn't all about work, however. We had {#blank#}8{#/blank#} amazing group of people who enjoyed one another's company, Wu created our own fun, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} helped us get to know each other well. At the end of the trip, I came home {#blank#}10{#/blank#} not only a great sense of success but also fourteen really good new friends.

Logan Wells, a high school student in Massachusetts, developed an app that makes it easier for people to care for loved ones with dementia(痴呆).

Logan was 15 when his grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. "You can't imagine{#blank#}1{#/blank#} terrible its effect was, not only on my grandmother, but on my parents and other family members," Logan said. "It became really hard to stay on{#blank#}2{#/blank#}same page, because we had to have multiple group chats."

So, he came up{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the idea for CareZare, which enables caregivers to work as a team through a communication website. Logan did the coding{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entire) by himself while his father assisted him in creating the original design and undertook the marketing.

The free app allows users{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (create) a profile(档案)centered around the individual with dementia and invite other people to join and receive{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (message). With the app, you can schedule events, confirm completed tasks, and even add a "heads up" such as the current mood of the patient or poor weather conditions.

       The app is currently being used by over 600 families and they enjoy{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (share) their opinions about it.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(please) with that, Logan is hoping it will grow.

       "So far our users{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) great about giving us feedback so we can tailor(定做)the app to their needs," he said. "Caregiving is such an important issue for them because it's sovl {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(person) for them, just as it is for me."
