A
(2015·吉林第二次调研)My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief “You_have_as_much_time_as_the_president.” I tell them that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant(无关的). What’s important is the quality of your work.”
Ziyuanku.comIf you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course,the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office:“Don’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study,chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.

(2015·河南毕业班适应性模拟练习)Indians who like alcohol usually choose whiskey as their drink.But, slowly, wine is growing more popular in the country. India’s first vineyard, a farm where grapes are grown, is named Sula. Nagesh Kamble and his wife Snehal have come to the hilly vineyard from Pune, about two hundred kilometers south. The young couple wanted to learn how wine is made. They began drinking wine at a special event two years ago.
“It was in Pune when there was a wine tasting festival going on.”Snehal Kamble tells why the couple chose this time to come to Sula.“...it is our anniversary this week, so we are kind of celebrating.”
Sula Vineyards is India’s largest Indian winemaker. Ten years ago it opened a tasting room to create a wine culture among people like the Kambles. About 200,000 people visit every year. It is especially busy on weekends. Visitors explore the vineyards. Then, they learn how to taste wine.
Indian tradition has not been approving of alcoholic drinks. And until now, whiskey is the kind of alcohol that the general public has accepted.
Neeraj Agarwal is vice president of Sula Vineyards. He has seen the change that has taken place since the company struggled to sell its first several thousand bottles of wine in 2000. Last year Sula sold more than seven million bottles. Mr. Agarwal believes that wine is helping change opinion about alcohol.
“In five years, the scenario has completely changed. Earlier, talking about alcohol in the open and seeing a woman having a glass of wine in hand was a taboo(禁忌).
Now, it’s wonderful, families coming, sitting together and enjoying.”
Young professionals are the main supports of the growth in India’s wine market.The market is expanding at about 13 percent a year. Indian women still represent a very small number of the wine drinkers in the country. But their numbers are growing more than twice as fast as men. In big cities like Delhi and Mumbai, women buying wine or having a drink is no longer considered unacceptable.
