Keep a Basket Handy

    Do you wait until the last minute to pack? Keep a basket in your bedroom, living room, or bath room that you can use to throw in items you need to pack as you come across them. Besides, you can just put the contents of the basket into your suitcase if you are in a hurry to leave for the airport.

Keep Old Packing Lists

    Chances are that you end up taking trips that require you to pack similar items. Keep old packing lists from former vacations to the beach, ski resort, and city - that way, you'll always have a list of at least the basics.So you don't need to waste your effort to remember where you left your hand-written packing lists.

Schedule a Packing Time

    Time can slip away from you before a trip — you may be caught up at work, at home, or be occupied with other responsibilities of daily life. That way, you will not need to do your packing frantically(狂乱地)from the last minute to 1 o'clock on the day you leave.

A. Buy necessary stuff when you arrive.

B. That's why I've distilled(提炼)the art of packing down to some essential trips.

How to Avoid an Internet Addiction

It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days. But if you can't have interest in other aspects of your life because of the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. You might fear you're the only one who has experienced that feeling. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Luckily, there are some ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet, and you are not the only one with this problem. So do not be embarrassed. Just be brave to admit that you are on your way to an Internet addiction. And then find others with the same problem and help each other beat it. 

Set aside limited time for computer use. 

Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If you have a desktop PC, try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet. 

Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts. 

If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside to do something you enjoy, like playing a sport. This will take your mind off the computer. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Use an alarm clock or timer(计时器). 

Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get away from the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.


A. The truth, though, is that it's quite common to be an addict. 

B. When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it.

C. Being addicted to it is quite normal. 

D. Admit you are at risk of an addiction. 

E. If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends or ask for help in person. 

F. This will stop you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page. 

G. This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time.
