Creating a study plan
Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then, how to make a study plan Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember easily. While arranging (安排) time for each subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance Your personal life and your study.
Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted (诱惑) to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break, set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract (使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.

It came as a real shock (震惊)to find out that my chickens could tell what color they were eating.
I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver(递送)it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!
My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain(谷物) and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.
I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back to watch for a minute as I usually do. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce (莴苣) but were leaving the red leaves. I thought it must be mistaken, but I didn't have time to find out for sure right then.
When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didn't eat the greens with the red leaves. It took several hours but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers(偏爱), they'd choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of green leaves.
根据短文内容回答问题:
1. How did the author feel when he found the chickens could tell the color when they were eating
2. What does the word "girls" in the second paragraph mean
3. What was used to feed the chickens as the special treat

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your life.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, talk to him or her honestly. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.
There are some steps to be friends again. Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend did is wrong and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected
Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves(海浪) in the arctic waters.
The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.
On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the ice.
"We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks(裂缝) around," he remembers.
He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice world become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces.
Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation (航行) system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour. Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.
The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.
Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice, the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.
(1).When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters
(2).Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip
(3).What did Marchenko decide to do to keep safe
(4).How high were the largest waves recorded by the navigation system
(5).What is Paragraph 7 mainly about

Mechanical Engineering
Do you want to build a machine Have you ever wondered how planes stay in the sky Do you like to design and create new things If you do, a career(职业) in mechanical engineering might be right for you!
A mechanical engineer is responsible for designing mechanical systems. Mechanical systems can include machine design, heating and cooling equipment and product design.
Mechanical engineers are in demand right now. There are a lot of job openings for mechanical engineers, but there aren't enough people to fill them. Because there is a great need for engineers and the work requires specialized knowledge, this job is better-paid than many others.
To be a mechanical engineer, you need to graduate from college with a bachelor's degree. In college, you will learn problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
Problem-solving is very important in the field of mechanical engineering. To come up with the best solution to a problem, mechanical engineers need to think in different ways. They also need to be creative, because they may need to make something that's never been made before. Paying attention to details(细节) is important as well. Many designs depend on a lot of little details.
Mechanical engineers also need to be able to use different tools such as calculators, high-speed cameras and computers. There are many computer programs mechanical engineers use to create designs, run projects (方案), and do research.
Besides, mechanical engineers should be able to meet deadlines(最后期限) and work well with other people. Some jobs can be done by just one person, but more often mechanical engineers work together as a team to complete a project. If an engineer cannot manage his or her time well and misses a deadline, the whole team gets delayed (拖延).
Some engineers work in an office, and some travel to different worksites while a machine or product is being built so that they can help solve problems.
Mechanical engineering requires people to think. It is a great career for people who like to build machines, solve problems and be creative!
