Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may get something to eat before getting to work.
Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don’t wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is. If you have more than an hour’s work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don’t pause to rest so much, or you can’t finish anything. You should be able to work at least a half at a time without stopping.
Don’t put it off (推迟) until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you will not enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much work to do. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will make you not afraid of the tests and get good grades.
Do your homework at the same time every evening. This will help you make it a habit. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well. ( )46. If we wait till very late in the evening, our homework will ____.

When I was in primary school, I got into an argument (争论) with a boy in my class.
I thought that “I” was right and “he” was wrong — and he thought that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson.
She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. There was a large round object on her desk. It was black. But when she asked the boy, he answered, “white.”
I couldn’t bel ieve it! Another argument started, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told us to change our places. Then she asked me, “▲”I had to answer, “White.”It was an object with two differently colored sides. From his side it was white and from my side it was black.
Sometimes we need to stand in other persons’ shoes and look at the problem through their eyes.
( )51. Who taught the writer a lesson?

C. His teacher.
D. His mother.
( )52. How did the writer feel when the boy said the object was white?

B. Do you think he is right?

D. What do you think of the object?
( )54. Why did the object look so different in color?
A. Because the boy and the writer had no ideas about colors.
B. Because the object had two different colors on the two sides.
C. Because the boy and the writer liked making arguments with each other.

fun of them.
