1、新的学习任务开始之际,千头万绪,最重要的是安排好时间,做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议,或许对你有所启迪。 1Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look ahead, you think you have more time than you need. For example, at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands. But toward t
2、he end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You dont have enough time to cover all your duties, so you get worried. What is the answer Control!2Time is dangerous. If you dont control it, it will control you. If you dont make it work for you, it will work against you. So you mu
3、st become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one problem. 3Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste, the easier it is to go on wasting time. If you seriously wish to get the most o
4、ut of college, you must put the time message into practice. Message 1. Control time from the beginning.4Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the beginning of the term. Message 2. Get the notebook habit.5Go and buy a notebook today. Use it to plan your study time each day. Onc
5、e a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the plan for the following week. Message 3. Be realistic.6Often you know from experience how long it takes you to write a short essay, to study for a quiz, or to review for a final
6、exam. When you plan time for these things, be realistic. Allow for unexpected things. Otherwise your entire plan may be upset. Message 4. Plan at least one hour for each hour in class.7How much study time you plan for each classroom hour depends on four things: (1) your ability, (2) the difficulty o
7、f the class, (3) the grades you hope to achieve, and (4) how well you use your study time. One thing, however, is certain: you should plan at least one hour of study for each classroom hour. In many cases, two or three hours will be required. Message 5. Keep your plan flexible.8It is important that
8、you re-plan your time on a weekly basis so that you can make certain changes when necessary. For example, before mid-term or final exams, you will want to give more time to reviewing. A good plan must be a little flexible so that special projects can be done well. Message 6. Study for some time each
9、 class day.9Some solid work each day is better than many study hours one day and nothing the next. When you work out your schedule, try to include at least two study hours each day. This will not only keep the study habit alive but also keep you up to date on your class assignments. Message 7. Free
10、on Saturday - study on Sunday.10It is good to stop all study activities for one full day. Many students choose Saturday for sports or social activities. Sunday, on the other hand, seems to be the best study day for many students. It is a good day to catch up on back reading and other assignments. Le
11、sson Two Hans Christian Andersens Own Fairy Tale (I)Donald and Louise Peattie 也许你不是出生于名门望族或书香门第,也许你生来并不聪慧,但只要你刻苦努力、坚持不懈、发挥自己的专长,在适合你的领域一定会成功。闻名遐尔的丹麦作家安徒生的故事这只从鸭圈里飞出来的天鹅本身的经历可能会对你有所启发。1Once upon a time there was a poor boy who lived in Denmark. His father, a shoemaker, had died, and his mother had ma
12、rried again. 2One day the boy went to ask a favor of the Prince of Denmark. When the Prince asked him what he wanted, the boy said, “I want to write plays in poetry and to act at the Royal Theater.” The Prince looked at the boy, at his big hands and feet, at his big nose and large serious eyes, and
13、gave a sensible answer. “It is one thing to act in plays, another to write them. I tell you this for your own good; learn a useful trade like shoemaking.” 3So the boy, who was not sensible at all, went home. There he took what little money he had, said good-bye to his mother and his stepfather and s
14、tarted out to seek his fortune. He was sure that some day the name Hans Christian Andersen would be known all over Denmark. 4To believe such a story one would have to believe in fairy tales! Hans Christian knew many such tales. He had heard some of them from his father, who had worked hard at his tr
15、ade, but liked to read better than to make shoes. In the evenings, he had read aloud from The Arabian Nights. His wife understood very little of the book, but the boy, pretending to sleep, understood every word. 5By day, Hans Christian went to a house where old women worked as weavers. There he list
16、ened to the tales that the women told as they worked at their weaving. In those days, there were almost as many tales in Denmark as there were people to tell them. 6Among the tales told in the town of Odense, where Andersen was born in 1805, was one about a fairy who brought death to those who dance
17、d with her. To this tale, Hans Christian later added a story from his own life. 7Once, when his father was still alive, a young lady ordered a pair of red shoes. When she refused to pay for them, unhappiness filled the poor shoemakers house. From that small tragedy and the story of the dancing fairy
18、, the shoemakers son years later wrote the story that millions of people now know as The Red Shoes. The genius of Andersen is that he put so much of everyday life into the wonder of his fairy tales. 8When Hans Christians mother was a little girl, she was sent out on the streets to beg. She did not w
19、ant to beg, so she sat out of sight under one of the city bridges. She warmed her cold feet in her hands, for she had no shoes. She was afraid to go home. Years later, her son, in his pity for her and his anger at the world, wrote the angry story Shes No Good and the famous tale The Little Match Gir
20、l. 9Through his genius, he changed every early experience, even his fathers death, into a fairy tale. One cold day the boy had stood looking at the white patterns formed on the window by the frost. His father showed him a white, woman-like figure among the frost patterns. “That is the Snow Queen,” s
21、aid the shoemaker. “Soon she will be coming for me.” A few months later he was dead. And years later, Andersen turned that sad experience into a fairy tale, The Snow Queen. 10After the Prince told him to learn a trade, Hans Christian went to Copenhagen. He was just fourteen years old at the time. 11
22、When he arrived in the city, he went to see as many important people as he could find dancers, writers and theater people of Copenhagen. But none of them lent a helping hand to the boy with the big hands, the big feet and the big nose. Finally, he had just seven pennies left. 12The boy had a beautif
23、ul high, clear voice. One day a music teacher heard him singing and decided to help him. He collected money from his friends and gave it to the boy so that he could buy food and clothing while he studied singing. 13Hans Christian was happier than he had ever been in his life. But soon his boys voice
24、 broke. The beautiful high voice was gone forever. 14The boy soon found new friends who admired his genius. There was even a princess who gave him a little money from time to time for food and clothes. But Hans Christian bought little food and no clothes. Instead, he bought books and went to the the
25、ater. Lesson Three s Own Fairy Tale ()这只鸭圈里飞出的天鹅所讲的故事老少皆宜,虽然故事使用的是孩子们能听懂的语言、孩子们喜闻乐见的情节,但却又包含生活真谛、寓意深长。功成名就的“丑小鸭” 一如既往,保持着他那平常、善良的心态,对权贵不卑不亢,对以往没有善待他的人不计前嫌。他把爱献给上帝,献给人类。1In Copenhagen, Hans Christian lived in an attic in an old house, where he had a good view of the city. But there was one big fact t
26、hat he could not see right under his own nose. The plays and poetry that he wrote were not very good. 2Hans Christian made friends with a few kind people. Among them was Jonas Collin of the Royal Theater. This kind man collected funds from friends to send the young writer to school. Hans felt most a
27、t ease with children. He ate his dinner in turn at the homes of six friends. In each home the children begged him for stories. 3Hans told a tale so vividly that you could see and hear toy soldiers marching and toy horses galloping. And he could make the most wonderful papercuts. These are kept today
28、 in the Andersen Museum, which is in the house where he was born in Odense. 4Andersen remained single all his life. The good Collin family three generations of them became all the family he was ever to have. They all loved him, but they advised him not to write any more poetry and plays, and to try
29、to get a government job. They talked as he later made the animals talk in his stories: I tell you this for your own good, said the Hen to the Ugly Duckling, “you should learn to lay eggs like me.” In The Ugly Duckling Hans Christian told the story of his own life. 5When his first book of fairy tales
30、 was published in 1835, Andersen didnt think it would be successful, but children read the stories and wanted more. So, encouraged by their interest, he began what we know today as his great work. For 37 years, a new book of Andersens fairy tales came out each Christmas. The books were full of every
31、day truth, of wonder, of sad beauty, of humor. Children and their parents had never read such tales before. 6Andersens tales are a poets way of telling us the truth about ourselves. He looked deeply into the heart of things. Even in a childs toy lost in the street, he could see some story with the l
32、ight of gold in it. All of us laugh at the humor of The Emperors New Clothes, but we remember the story every time men pretend to be something that they are not. 7Although he was now famous, he was more kind-hearted than ever. One day on the street he met a man who had once treated him badly. The old and unhappy man said that he was sorry for what he h
