Anna studied at the University of Oxford．（4） After the trip she became interested in China and began to learn Chinese．She calls herself "a clumsy（笨拙的） student， just like Guo Jing from Legends of the Condor Heroes， but one of loyal heart"．

You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby． At first， you learned them only by hearing other people talk． Now that you're a reader， you have another way to learn words． What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？ （1）
Say it
First， sound it out．Then say it to yourself． （2） ．Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print． So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn't work， take the next step： look at the context ﹣ the other words and sentences around it．Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway．（3） Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information．
（4）
If the context doesn't help， look at the parts of the word． Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means． If you don't know the meaning of miner， try looking at parts of the word． You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things． A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means"a person who does something"．So a miner might be someone who works in a mine．
Look it up
If the three steps above don't work， you can look it up． （5） ﹣either a book or online．
Nobody knows the meaning of every word， but good readers know how to understand words they don't know．
根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项．

B． Look at the words

Time Management
Do you ever wish you had more time？ Everyone gets the same amount of time each day， But here are some ways to use those hours better．As a popular saying says， "Work smarter，not harder．"
The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities（优先权）（1） Also，consider whether or not they are urgent﹣if they need to be done right away．It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent， so make time for them．
Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day．Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone． Then you can make sure every thing gets done．
（2） Are you smarter in the morning，afternoon or evening？ Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good，saving easy ones for when you're tired．
Write down what you need to do and when．I keep two to﹣do lists： one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on．（3） And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish． I focus on the shorter list of each days tasks．
（4） When someone wants to give you a task，think carefully．Is it really important enough to spend your precious（ 宝贵的） time on？ Could someone else do it instead？
（5） If you're in charge of running a meeting，keep it short．Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time．Don't allow it．
In the end，using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it．
A．Think about the time of day you work best．
B．That way I can make sure I don't forget anything．
C．Figure out （弄明白） which of your tasks is the most important．
D．Often，managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important．
E．Meetings also tend to be a waste of time， so avoid them whenever possible．
If you wear glasses， there's good news for you．（1） A new study has found that needing to wear glasses is connected with higher levels of intelligence．
In the study， researchers from the University of Edinburgh studied data（数据）on brainpower and genes． Genes， made up of DNA， are information in the cells of our body． They determine how we look and how our bodies work． （2） They found a connection between brainpower and physical characteristics including eyesight and health． People who were more intelligent were more likely to have genes that might show they need to wear glasses． The researchers also found that being smarter has some advantages． They found ways in which smarter people have fewer health problems．
（3） They are not proved（证实的）causes． It is easy to prove that two things are connected． It is harder to prove that one thing， like intelligence， causes the other， like needing glasses．
Forget genes though． Wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent， even if you don't need them． A number of studies have found that people who wear glasses are usually seen as smarter， more hard﹣working and honest． （4） They get the people they work for on trial（审 判）to wear glasses． Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV．
（5） People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them． They wear them just to look smart or cool． Glasses are not only for needs． Wearing glasses can also be cool． Many movie stars are fans of fashion glasses．
A．Many lawyers use this to help them． B．We must try our best to protect our eyes． C．However，these are all simply connections． D．You might be smarter than those who don't． E．Ideas about wearing glasses have begun to change． F．Wearing glasses sometimes makes people look silly． G．The researchers studied the genes of over 300，000 people． |

In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．
