Write things down. A pen and a notebook are needed to record things. 【2】 .You will only further make your life complex(复杂的) by trying to contain important dates and messages in your head.
Make schedules and deadlines. By leading a cluttered(杂乱的) lifestyle, you will not have the time or space to make your deadlines or achieve your goals. Organized people don’t waste time.
They recognize that keeping things organized goes hand in hand with staying productive(富有成效 的). They make and keep schedules for the day and week. They make deadlines and set goals.【3】.
Don’t put off doing what you should be doing .【4】.If you want your life to be less stressful, then take action as soon as you can. Put in effort to get things done as soon as possible.

22、One thing that determines how quickly a researcher climbs the academic ladder is his publication record. The quality of this clearly matters — but so does its quantity. A long list of papers attached to a job application tends to impress appointment committees. One way to make this list longer is co-authoring.
Say you write one paper a year. If you team up with a colleague doing similar work and write two half-papers instead, both parties end up with their names twice as many papers, but with no increase in workload. Find a third researcher to join in and you can get your name on three papers a year. And so on.
We reviewed data on more than 34 million research papers published between 1996 and 2015 in academic journals and found that the average number of authors per paper grew from 3.2 to 4.4. Meanwhile, the numbers of papers divided by the number of authors fell from 0.64 to 0.51. The boom in co-authorship more than compensated for the drop in individual productivity.
One particular trend behind these numbers is the rise of “guest authorship”, in which a very important person is invited as an author simply as a nod to his position or in the hope that this signals a study of high quality. This can lead to some researchers becoming incredibly prolific. For example, between 2013 and 2015 the 100 most published authors in physics and astronomy from American research centers had an average of 311 papers each to their names.
Another trend is that the meaning of authorship in massive science projects is getting more unclear. Some research that involves huge transnational teams are typical here. A paper published in 2015 in Physical Review Letters holds the record with 5,154 co-authors. Such studies as this are seemingly role models of scientific cooperation but they list as authors people who have contributed only a little to the projects. They should have been acknowledged in a thanks-to-all sentence but are now the bricks from which careers may be built.
【1】What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A.To defend an opinion.
B.To clarify a concept.
C.To describe a process.
D.To introduce a topic.
【2】What does “prolific” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

B.Generous.
C.Cooperative.
D.Honest.
【3】What attitude does the writer take towards the second trend?
A.Supportive.

A.What can impress the appointment committees.

23、The United States Department of Agriculture has a program called Wildlife Services. Its job is to help protect agricultural and other resources. Often that means helping farmers deal with unwelcome visitors. This organization has experts from different fields and it has set up thousands of inquiry centers all over the country where farmer can explain their difficulty and get practical help.
One example from Wildlife Services of its work involved a farmer in Washington State in the Pacific Northwest. Several years ago, thousands of Canada geese landed on his fields. The geese began to eat his carrot crop. Biologists from the program suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away. These efforts succeeded, which made the farmer quite happy. Wildlife Services also has a livestock protection program. The program just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them. The Wildlife Services program is part of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS. APHIS offers some suggestions of ways to keep away predators. For example, try to keep food and water safe from wildlife. Fences may help keep out wolves, especially if the fences are at least two meters high.
Experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens, sheep and other animals that could be attacked. They also suggest using lights above places where these animals are kept. And they advise people who see wolves to chase them away by shouting, making loud noises or throwing rocks. And to protect livestock, consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys, which are very effective.
For home gardeners, a two-meter fence might help keep out deer. To keep out rabbits, a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high. It should extend fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it. If snakes are a problem, remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places. Due to its effective work, ever since the Wildlife Services was started, it has been well received by farmers all over the States and neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico.
【1】What does wildlife Services aim to help farmer handle?
A.Animals that attack farmers.
B.People who pollute the farmland.

【2】It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ______.
A.the cabbage crop was eaten up by Canada geese
B.the farmer didn't have a gun to kill those Canada geese
C.Wildlife Services involves some biologists in its group
D.the farmers like to eat Canada geese very much
【3】What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?
A.Ways to protect livestock.
B.Ways to deal with wolves.
C.How to protect crops.
D.How to hunt wildlife.
【4】Why should the bottom of the fence extend about 15 centimeters into the ground?
A.Wolves can climb over it easily.
B.The strong wind might blow it away.
C.Snakes can cross it from under the ground.
D.Rabbits may enter by digging holes under it.
【5】Where does the passage probably come from?

24、Clara Barton, born on December 25, 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts, has a crucial and long-lasting impact on care giving and disaster relief in America and throughout the world.
As a young child, Barton had great difficulty studying and making friends at school. For most of her early years, she was taught at home. She really began her life of caring for the sick at age 11, when her brother David was seriously injured while helping build a barn (谷仓). She nursed him carefully for two years until he was healed.
Barton began teaching at age 17 and was greatly respected by her students. Twelve years later, she started a free public school for poor children in New Jersey. But within a year, she had to leave after the school board voted to replace her as headmaster with a man.
Barton was working for the Patent Office Washington. D.C. when the Civil War broke out in 1861. The wounded soldiers flooded the streets of Washington. D.C. Then a temporary hospital was created in the uncompleted Capitol Building (国会大厦). She brought them food, clothing and other necessities from her home, and launched a campaign for more relief items from friends and the public. More importantly, she spent hours with the homesick and suffering soldiers, writing letters and offering prayers and comfort. She worked long into the night assisting the surgeons, cooking food for the soldiers and tending the wounded, despite nearby gunfire flying overhead.
Barton made a deep impression on Union army surgeons at Antietam. One surgeon, Dr. James Dunn, said, “In my estimation, General McClellan, with all his great honors, sinks into insignificance beside Barton, a true heroine of the age.”
After the war President Lincoln put Barton in charge of locating missing soldiers. When she returned to the United States, she successfully helped start the American Red Cross and became its first president.
Clara Barton died at the age of 91. A monument in her honor stands at Antietam National Battlefield.
