Do you have any problem with time? Start doing these and you will see the difference.
● Write it down
Don’t rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 1.. Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list.
●2.
Working for long periods without a break can waste your time. It is more efficient to work or study for a shorter period of time, take a break, and then go back to work. You may get more done in a focused 45-minute session.
● One thing at a time
3.. Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs. Like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.”
● Schedule email time
On your cell phone you get a notification every time someone sends you an email. If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day.4.. Schedule time to check your email. It doesn’t matter when.
● Choose to say “No”.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed if we say “yes” to everything. Think about the task before you commit to it. Do you need to do it? Can someone else do it? Avoid saying “yes” to every request.5..
● Keep a goal journal
Write down your goals in a journal and evaluate them regularly. Mark your progress for each goal. Be sure to take the necessary step to achieve your goals.
A.Make a list first.
B.Don’t ignore the breaks.
C.Turn that notification off.
D.This takes time away from more important tasks.
E.Don’t forget to focus on your task.
F.Memory may make mistakes sometimes.
G.Every time we switch from one task to another, we lose focus.

You are walking down the street, minding your own business when you see a snowball. No big deal, right? Except the snowball is as tall as you are. And weighs about a ton. Did we mention that it is June?
That’s the experience thousand of Londoners had when they crossed paths with “ Snowball in Summer,” Goldsworthy makes sculpture (雕塑)from all sorts of things he finds outside – leaves, earth, and rocks, as well as ice and snow. He wanted to find out how busy people would react to an unexpected snowball melting in their midst.
During the winter of 2008, he rolled 13 giant snowballs near his home in Scotland. He filled each one with a surprise in the center – such as berries, feathers, little stones or sheep’s wool – which would appear as the snow melted. The finished snowballs were stored in a deep freeze until summer, then transported to London in refrigerated trucks. At midnight on June 21, 2008, while the city slept, Goldsworthy and his helpers rolled their snowballs into place.
People walking to work or school must have thought the sky was falling when they stumbled across snowballs the size of baby elephants. Some of them had never even seen snow in real life, and they couldn’t help touching them in great surprise. As the snow started to melt, things got even more interesting. The perfectly round snowballs took on different shapes as the stuff inside began to poke through. Two days later, most of Goldsworthy’s snowballs were gone, and their fillings scattered. But Londoners were left with a really good story about that odd summer day when the snowball came.
1.What is really special about the snowballs is that ______________________.
A. they lie in the street
B. they are in the shape of baby elephants.
C. they have berries, feathers, little stones and feathers in them.
D. they appear in June.
2. What was the purpose of Goldsworthy in making the snowballs?
A. To find out people’s reactions to them
B. To call up people’s memory of the cold winter.
C. To show off his skills in sculpture.
D. To let people experience the cold winter.
3. Why did Goldsworthy and his helpers roll their snowballs into place at mid-night?
A. They didn’t want to disturb other people.
B. It was quite at that time.
C. They wanted to avoid the traffic jam.
D, They wanted to give people a surprise.

If you can find a tree which has been cut down,you will see many rings,or circles,on the base of the trunk.By learning to read these rings,you can find out about the tree's life.
The number of rings tells you how old the tree is.Each year,new wood is formed on the outside of the tree.This new wood is light in color when the tree is growing in spring and summer,and dark in winter when the tree is not growing much.So,if you count the rings of darkorlight colored wood,you can often find out how old the tree is.
You can also tell which years have been good years and which years have been bad years.When the lightcolored rings are very wide,it means that the tree has been growing quickly that year.If the rings are narrow,it has been growing slowly.If the rings on a tree trunk were greatly magnified,you would be able to see why the rings are lightcolored when the tree is growing quickly and darkcolored when the tree is growing slowly.The tree trunk is made up of microscopic tubes,like some pipes,carrying water from the soil,through the trunk,and up to the leaves.They are wide and thinwalled when the tree is growing quickly and they are carrying a lot of water.They are narrow and stuck together when the tree is not growing so quickly.
When a tree is old,the tubes in the centre of the tree don't carry water.The walls of the tubes have become thick with materials which have stuck along them over the years,forming a kind of wood called“heartwood”.This kind of wood is darker in color than the young,growing wood on the outside of the tree.
You don't very often see whole tree trunks which have been cut across.But once you learn to read a cross section of the wood,you can see much more in wood which has been used to make boxes,houses and other things.
In most wood,instead of seeing the trunk cut across,you are seeing it cut along its length.Because you don't see the whole tree,you can't tell how old it is.

Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down?Consider these things to remember when you're having a bad day.
No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection, you'll never be content. Don't condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious,but you'll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.
Success doesn't happen overnight. Trees__that__are__slow__to__grow__bear__the__best__fruit.__Don't kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn't easy to be patient,but anything worth doing requires time. If you get frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important.

If you search for the lesson in your present struggle, you'll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.

When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength.
