Luckily，some cities have taken action，like setting up new downward﹣directing lights along the streets or controlling unnecessary lighting. I hope we can watch the night sky in a way humans have watched for thousands of years.
A. That moment is unforgettable. B. Light pollution has become a serious problem. C. However，brighter doesn't usually mean better. D. I hope more cities will join in and continue the practice. E. I remember going to the local university for an astronomy night. |
Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets 24 hours in a day. But here are some ways to help you use those hours more efficiently (有效率地).
Set priorities (优先级）
Setting priorities is the best way to manage your time exactly. Consider whether your tasks are important or not and find out which one should be done right away.
Make a timetable
Decide what you're going to do at a certain time each day. A well-organized timetable can not only help you improve your working speed but also make you feel less stressed.
Choose a suitable time
Think about the time when you have the most energy during the day. Are you more energetic in the morning or afternoon? Do hard work when you feel good and leave simple one when you are tired.
Make lists
Write down when to do and what to do. I keep two to-do lists: one for aims of today and the other for the projects I'm working on. The lists remind me that I won't forget anything. They also help me pay more attention to the shorter list.
Give up something
Managing time sometimes means giving up doing something you like. When you're ready to start a new task, think carefully. Is it really worth spending your time? Could someone else do it instead?
As a saying goes, "Work smarter, not harder." If you want to make full use of your time, make a plan and stick to it.

THIS IS HOW READING HAS CHANGED
CAVE（洞穴） PAINTINGS Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them，like the beautiful pictures in the caves in the north of Spain，are almost 30，we get an idea of how the people felt when drawing them. That's what the painters wanted to show others—hopes and fears. |
STONES AND PAPYRUS（纸莎草） Sometime between 4000 and 3000 BCE（公元前），people in Egypt developed the skill of writing. They put writing on stones first. But it was impossible to carry the stones from place to place. The invention of papyrus made it. It was easier to correct mistakes，too. |
PAPER AND PRINTING Paper was invented in China in 105 CE（公元年）. The world's oldest known printed book is from China，too. It was published around 700 hundred years later. In Europe，when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany. Since that time，almost 140 million books have been published. |
OTHER WAYS OF READING Books will be around for many years，of course. But there are many new ways of reading books，such as e-books and apps on mobile phones. |
