What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).
Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
1.The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 probably means somebody or something that is _____.
A.your slave and serves you
B.your supporter and helps you
C.under your control and obeys you
D.under your influence and follows you
2.The author intends to tell us that time _____.
A.could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B.could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C.should be well managed for our own good
D.should be saved for outside interests
3.In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _____.
A.how to keep up with the time B.how to make up for lost time
C.how to have a good time D.how to make good use of time

Carnival (狂欢节) is the most famous holiday in Brazil. It is not about an important time in history or about a famous person, but it is important for the people because it’s a time of friendship, freedom, and almost a whole week without work. People can have parties or have a rest, and most people choose parties, day after day, night after night. It starts forty days before Easter (复活节). It lasts four days and four nights. It starts on Saturday and finishes on Wednesday. People wear their colourful clothes and go out into the streets or to the clubs. There are also groups of people who make a parade (游行) showing their music and cars. Every year the parade tells a different story. Each city has at least one group like this.
In the south, life returns to normal by Wednesday. However, it is not accepted by the church in the northwest, where Carnival is more common. There people don’t respect its end and continue to have parties until the next Sunday.
I like Carnival, but I don’t agree that the party should keep going on for so many days. Unfortunately, some people aren’t responsible and give it a bad name, and that makes people remember the bad things about this. However, it is the only national holiday that brings together the whole country and its different people and cultures.
1.Why is Carnival important for the people in Brazil?
A. Because it’s a time of friendship and freedom.
B. Because it’s about an important time in history.
C. Because it’s a time of almost a whole month without work.
D. Because it’s a time to remember a famous person.
2.People choose ways to celebrate Carnival EXCEPT_____________.
A. having parties B. having a rest
C. making a parade D. going shopping
3.In the following descriptions of Carnival, which one is NOT true?
A. It starts forty days before Easter.
