河南省豫南市级示范性高中2019-2020学年高二上学期英语联考试卷
Time is something that we all are taking for granted these days. We spend hours watching TV or playing mobile games, thinking that this is just normal. I find this a waste of time. Every second is valuable and we should rethink of ways of spending our time.
Firstly, spend time in doing things that really matter. Spend time with your family and friends. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping. But the truth is the little things matter most in life.
Secondly, you have to know what is done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the past. Every day is a new adventure. It may not be an opportunity like an immediate get-rich chance, but it may be an opportunity for new experiences.
If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it to the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being rewarded or not. You will take pride in your work because you've done your best. Trust me, quality efforts will be rewarded in time.
Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life. Don't waste your time away working day and night just for money. The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.
A. You will get whatever you want from working.
B. Spend more time on the important tasks instead of time-wasters.
C. Do your best in every task as if the world will end tomorrow
D. That is not your life's worth.
E. It is hours of our lives that we can never get back.
F. Little things like this may seem meaningless.
G. You have to keep your eyes and ears open to the new opportunity.
