So finding the motivation, while you’re learning from home, is extra challenging. Here are a few tips that could maximize your motivation. 1.Guard Your Time You do not need large amounts of time to be productive. Instead, be focused in short blocks when you can work without interruption. Protect these open times by setting up your workspace to minimize distractions-including silencing notifications （通知） on your cellphone or laptop. 2. Determine How Much Work Is Needed Write down the work you need to achieve, because there is a limit to how much information you can recall and process at one time. Examine the remaining projects, and estimate the amount and type of effort each requires. 3. Break Large Projects into Smaller Ones Breaking big projects into smaller and more manageable tasks allows you to achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Your assigned tasks should follow a logical order. Also, making a list and crossing things off that list is really satisfying. 4. Set Goals Set goals related to effort. For example, plan to spend 60 minutes at a specific time of the day studying a pre-determined concept. Also, set goals related to the completion of specific tasks or projects. For instance, give yourself a deadline to read and take notes on a specific article for a certain paper you must write. 5. Identify the Rewards It pays to clarify the rewards this term-whether those rewards are internal, such as the feeling of accomplishment that comes from understanding a difficult concept well, or external, such as getting a good grade. Work to build good habits and strategies now. It will pay off in the future. 21. What skills do the first two tips relate to? A. Writing skills. B. Social skills. C. Teamwork skills. D. Time management skills. 22. According to the passage, which can help you most when you are faced with a big task? A. Tip 2. B. Tip 3. C. Tip 4. D. Tip 5. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show students how to stay focused on schoolwork. B. To analyze students’ difficulties of learning from home. C. To offer students advice on how to improve productivity. D. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children. B Pablo Picasso, the great Spanish painter and sculptor, once said this about his ability, “My mother said to me, if you become a soldier, you’ll be a general.” But he would have agreed with Abraham Lincoln. “Whatever you are,” said Lincoln, “be a good one.” He demonstrated the wisdom of that advice with his own life. Viennese-born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember from his musical scores that include — My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He studied piano with the great masters of Europe and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years. But when he immigrated (移居) to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work including searching for gold and boxing. But he never gave up his dream and continued to play piano and write music. During those lean years, he could not always afford to make payments on his piano. One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with such rare inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience — three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead, they dug into their pockets, pooled together enough money for the payment, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty handed. Moved by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it. Whatever you are, be a good one. When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring to it your best and receive the best it can offer in return. 24. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1? A. Picasso’s mother is a wise woman. B. What Lincoln said is right. C. Everyone can be excellent somehow. D. It’s important to take others’ advice. 25. What happened to Loewe after he moved to the United States? A. He meant to change his original dream. B. He was struggling on the road to art. C. He turned to be a miner to make a living. D. He achieved immediate success as a musician. 26. Which one can replace the underlined word “lean” in paragraph 3? A. Unforgettable. B. Special. C. Long. D. Hard. 27. Which of the following best describes Loewe? A. Out-going. B. Determined. C. Humorous. D. Modest. C A three-month survey of 119 households in Seattle found about one-third of the food thrown away was edible (可以吃的). “We think we are doing better but we can’t be, given the waste.” said Andrea Spacht, a food specialist at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
