13. Pre- Reading Questions

14. Pre-reading Questions: • What’s a biological clock? Do you think • there’s one in you? If so, give evidence. The biological clock is the time system in plants and animals that controls behavior such as sleeping and eating. I think there is a biological clock in me because I often hear it tick. For example, I wake up at 6:30 almost every morning although I go to bed at different times. I always have my meals at the same time each day, otherwise I will feel veryhungry and can’t wait to eat.

15. Pre-reading Questions: 2. Have you ever thought of the relationship between time and health? Can you tell in what way they are related? Time may be related to health. Those who make good use of time are generally less stressed than those who don't know how to manage their time in an efficient way. And hose who work too hard and therefore don’t leave themselves enough time to rest are most likely to suffer from illnesses.

41. Writing Practice Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a speech script entitled How to Manage Your Time in College. You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below: Situation: Suppose you are a senior. You are invited to deliver a speech to freshmen on time management.

42. How to Manage Your Time in College Hello everyone, First of all, I’d like to congratulate you on passing the competitive national university entrance exams and becoming a college student at this prestigious （声望很高的）university. Since there are so many differences between high school and college, every freshman has to learn how to make good use of time in college years. As a senior, I sincerely hope you value your time and have a rewarding educational experience.

43. Here are some tips from me and other upper-class students. Firstly, get a memo-book and mark all the important dates, events, deadlines on your calendar, and check from time to time. Secondly, you need to balance time spent on academic work and time spent on spare-time activities. Humorously put, every college student is a full-time worker, and one has to work hard to meet all the academic requirements. On the other hand, college years are an essential stage for you to turn into citizens and adults, so you are encouraged to squeeze time to participate in some social activities as well. Thirdly, a freshman has to be an efficient time-planner, working out both short-term plans and long-term plans. Last but not least, if you find your dorm flat is full of chatter boxes and you can hardly concentrate at study time, simply go to library, reading rooms, or self-study classrooms to make efficient use of limited time.
