The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a Ford Car for a 36 present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles.

I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the 41 move down as I headed north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I 42 into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.
I 43 the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could 44 in my car and try to walk to a town with a 45 the next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but he’d have me arrested, a station wagon pulled up to the next 46 . The driver—a thin, plain, middle-aged guy—overheard the tail end of my 47 request. As the attendant went to 48 him, he nodded at me. “49 her tank first,” he said.

“Fill it,” he 52 to the attendant. Then he turned to me, “You’ll do the same one day, for someone else.”
I keep looking for someone unlucky, hoping to save her 53 on the road. Meanwhile, in case she never shows up, I try for other acts of 54 kindness. That quiet driver is always at the pump a few feet away, instructing the attendant to fill mine 55 .

John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard-working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, “Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation.”
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg.

How to Graduate from College with a High GPA(Grade Point Average)
One Hour a Day
One of the most challenging things about college is time management. It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you will make use of the power of the subconscious(下意识)to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams.
Select Easy Courses
The reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework become more challenging.
Join (or Form) Study Groups
If you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.
Use Personal Development
I can honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very differently.
If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career.
1.According to the passage, managing your time wisely leads to __________.
A. sitting up late before exams
B. spending less time each day
C. mastering what you learn in an easy way
D. benefiting from the notes
2.Group study is meant to let the students ___________.
A. study effectively
B. get along well with one another
C. practice solving problems
D. study independently
3.The winter attached least importance to ___________ when he was at college.
A. reviewing his lessons one hour a day
B. selecting easier courses to learn
C. involving a study group led by senior students
D. applying personal development techniques
4.From the passage we can infer that _____________.
A. every college student is to get a high GPA when graduated
B. personal development is that most important techniques of the 4 steps
C. the earlier you choose easy courses, the better performance you’ll have
D. the fist school year’s success plays an important role in your college career
