Moving should be an exciting time — you’re of...

Moving should be an exciting time — you’re off to a new home, maybe moving up to a larger home. But for many people, moving turns into a stressful experience. It doesn’t have to be that way. Some planning and a little research can make your next move the best one ever.

Organization is the key to a successful move, so lists are your friends. Write down all the details that you need, especially things that might be lost during the move.

Once you decide to move, start packing things immediately. You can find all the supplies you need, such as boxes, packing tape and more at truck rental outlets (租赁经销店) like Budget Truck Rental. The experts there can help you figure out how many and what types of boxes you’ll need.

About a month before your moving date, reserve (预定) your moving truck. The company you choose makes a big difference. Budget Truck Rental has 30,000 trucks nationwide for you to choose.

Take care of your mail. Stop by your local post office and write the new address where your mail should be sent. You’ll also want to change the address on any magazine subscriptions (订购) or other services you receive by mail.

Make sure you have a group of friends to help you move. If you still have some boxes to pack, your friends can help you put the boxes into the truck while you finish up.

48. The passage is mainly written for those who ______.

A. help others move to a new home

B. offer rental services to others

C. prepare to move to a new home

D. like outside activities

Do you want to be productive（富有成效的）at work or at home? Here's what you should do.

Turn off television

I used to tell myself that I needed a break. So, when the kids slept I turned on the cable and watched whatever program that caught my fancy. Often, I found myself not watching, just channel-surfing. And I didn’t end up watching a full program. I decided one day to just give up on TV as it made me sleep late and woke up exhausted（疲惫的）.

If you want to be productive, cut off TV. You are better off reading a book. Without TV, I have managed to finish many books which I have bought but never read.

Limit Internet Use

The other big distraction that can make you sleep late is the Internet. Probably because you will be checking your emails, updating your blog, watching YouTube, etc. Try limiting the use of it at home, or switch it to the morning session.

Nowadays, I check all my personal emails early in the morning. When I get into work, I find myself less tempted to check personal emails.

Know Your Priorities(优先考虑的事)

Really, it is all about the choices you make and the priorities you have. If you know it is competitive out there in the world, how can you be a better worker than the person who is also aiming for the position above you?

Rest Early, Rise Early

You want to be productive? Rise early, read more books, have more energy, be more focused and set standards for others to catch up. It’s as simple as that.

1.The passage aims to give advice on how to ________.

A. take better care of our kids at home.

B. balance our work and energy well.

C. divide time between work and family.

D. compete against others for a better position.

2.What does the author mainly use to support her theory?

A. Ancient wisdom　　 B. Internet information

C. Popular beliefs　　 D. Personal experience

3.The author used to be in the habit of _________.

A. changing channels frequently when watching TV.

B. checking all her personal emails in the morning.

C. watching her favorite TV programs with her kids.

D. reading the books immediately after she bought them.

Adopting (领养) a new pet should be an exciting and rewarding experience. But just as all families are different, so are all pets. Learn what to consider before you find your new furry family member.

All pets require their owner’s time, so Theisen, an expert in pet care, says how much time you can give to the pet is the top thing to consider. “If you adopt a 4-year-old cat, she’s not going to need the same amount of care as a 9-week-old dog”. says Theisen.

Like dating and finding the perfect partner, you want a pet that shares your interests and activity levels, particularly if you’re looking for dogs. “Consider activity levels in the family,” says Theisen. “If you’re a couch potato, or in other words, a homebody, look for a pet that matches that activity level.”

Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside; they might not fit as well in close living situations as more sedentary pets. The Humane Society of the United States encourages potential owners to research books and websites and talk to other pet owners when considering adopting a new pet.

Theisen says that potential owners should go beyond the first impression of loveliness and watch how the animals interact with them. “There are dogs that will jump to the gate to meet you,” says Theisen. “And there are dogs that sit there with their sad doggy eyes — you know they’re not going to be high-energy dogs”.

Some exotic pets, like tortoises and parrots, are likely to live longer than dogs and cats — and even their human owners. They can also grow to be much larger than they were when they first came to live with their owners. Owners should make sure that their living situations should be continually updated and also prepare for the animal’s future.

1.What will people have to consider first of all when they plan to adopt a pet?

A. The amount of time they can give to the pet.

B. The money that the pet will cost them.

C. Whether the pet is lovely or not.

D. Whether the pet is active or not.

2.The underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.

A. weak. B. noisy.

C. loud. D. inactive.

3.Being a couch potato and not fond of exotic pets, which should Julia choose?

A. Dalmatians. B. Terriers.

C. Parrots. D. Bulldogs.

4.Where is the passage most probably coming from?

A. A guidebook. B. A fashion magazine.

C. A Life magazine. D. An entertainment newspaper.
