　　Passage 1

　　College is a place to explore many possibilities;you really can’t do it all unless you manage your time wisely. Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing my study efforts:

　　1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic (学术的) knowledge? Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate (成比例的) amounts of time to those efforts.

　　2. Plan ahead. You may think you can keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks.

　　3. Study at strategic (关键的) times. Don’t wait until you’re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e-mails to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and attention can still be done when you’re tired.

　　4. Motivate (激励) yourself! You know that TV show you’ve been dying to see, or that game of chess you’ve been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. These and many other special activities can be used for motivation. Promise yourself that you’ll finish your biology assignment before you go off and “play”. That way, you’ll force yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush through the assignment, though.)

　　5. Take a nap. Sometimes even a 20-minute nap in the afternoon will give you the extra energy you need to get through the day.

　　Passage 2

　　The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.

　　A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Grape drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.

　　A. personal health choice help cure most illness

　　A. to “live an inactive life” B. to “live a decent life”

　　C. to “live a life with complete freedom” D. to “live a life of vice”

　　A. current medical knowledge is still insufficient

　　B. there are many factors influencing our decisions

　　C. few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of life

　　D. people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends

　　A. improving the quality of one’s life B. limiting one’s personal health choice
