But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didnt realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began,I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in, I always finished it the next day between classes.I knew it wasnt very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. Im glad that Ive learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.（1）At first, when did the writer always finish her homework?A . After school was over.B . Between classes the neat day.C . Before it was time to hand it in.（2）Why did the writer follow the first timetable only for a few days?A . Because it had a specific list.B .

Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“Thats just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, Ive never had a better piece of advice.（1）What did the father do after he had heard his daughters complaint?A . He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.B . He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C . He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D . He refused to take the list and have a look at it.（2）What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?A . Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.B . She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C . I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D . Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.（3）Why did her father listen to her quietly?A . Because he believed that what her daughters “enemy” said was mostly true.B . Because he had been so angry with his daughters shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C . Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D . Because he wasnt quite sure which girl was telling the truth.（4）Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A . Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB . The Best Advice Ive Ever HadC . My FatherD . My Childhood19. （10分） Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark.
