An official report. D. A scientific research.BMy students often tell me they dont have “enough time” to do all th
8、eir schoolwork. My reply is often brief You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myse
9、lf to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “Thats irrelevant. Whats important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions all relevant to the issue of how much time we have
10、.If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, its not diligence but the qu
11、ality of the product that is important.That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office Dont work harder but work smarter! Theres a lot of sense in that idea.If you cant get more time, and few of us can, the on
12、ly solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “lear
13、ning habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.24. From the passage, we know that the author is _.A
14、. a poet B. an educator C. an editor D. a director25. We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _. A. have enough time B. can meet the presidentC. get something done well D. should accept the explanation 26. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means _.A. That is impossible B. Tha
15、t is not importantC. That is unbearable D. That is not acceptable27. The main purpose of writing the passage is to give _.A. information B. encouragement C. criticism D. adviceCGregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day, but not for the reason that most people would think.

16、act he is trying to help the homeless. Gregory began his life as a sculptor. But he often felt that his sculptures, which just stood in rich peoples houses for years, lacked a meaningful purpose. So in 2011, he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sellnot ordinary homes but sm
17、all structures built entirely from recycled materials. The thought of creating homes for the homeless didnt occur to him until the year 2013, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(防水布). Instead of a tarp, Gregory offered them something better: a small home with a water tank, a kitchen and a tr
18、ap for waste. They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city. And soon his “Homeless Homes Project” was started. Before starting a new home, Gregory, goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins. Everything he finds is u
19、sablerefrigerator doors become house doors; washing machine doors often serve as windows, and the tops of cars become strong roofs. He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily. Each home takes two to three days to make. So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the ci
20、tys most needy. While his small low-cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness, they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in. They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help. Gregory
21、has written a book titled Homeless Architecture, where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops. “A lot of people who hear about what Im doing want to get involved,” he said. “Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together.”28.
