Advice on Doing Your Homework
Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until late in the evening, or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is.
Divide your time into a few parts if you have more than an hour's work. Relax yourself after an hour. However, don't divide it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.
Don't put off ( 推迟) until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind and you won't enjoy your free time. If you put off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much to do. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit—part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.
50. When someone is hungry, he'd better
A. not work at all B. work harder
C. not work too hard D. work as usual
51. The underlined word "assignment" in the article may mean " ".
A. time B. test C. homework D. school
52. If you put off doing your homework,_________.
A. it will be kept on your mind B. it will be much easier to do
C. it will make you happy D. it doesn't matter much
53. To do your homework at the same time every day_________.
A. will make it more difficult B. will make your free time less pleasant
C. will help you have a good habit D. will help you live longer

Dear Reader,
Think about an 11-year-old child spending her days washing clothes, looking after a baby brother, and doing hard work on the farm.
Think about a little girl. She knows there will not be enough food for dinner, and has no water to drink because it is not clean. She has watched her father, brother and sister lose their lives as the family has no money to send for a doctor.
Hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the facts of life.
Maria would gladly walk to school, but her mother, now alone, really needs her at home. Maria had to leave school to work for her poor family.
But for five dollars a week, you can help out a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, someone will help her. Through Save the Children, you can help Maria's mother get better crops (收成) from their farm, and earn the money to buy clothes and things for school.
To help Maria most, your money is to put together with other helpers, so hardworking people can help themselves. Build a school or a hospital, make their farm better, bring in clean water... This is what Save the Children has been about since 1932.
For you there are many returns. You can write letters to each other, get photos, or study reports. Know you are helping and saving another person in the same world as you. That's how Save the Children works. But without you, it can't work. Please take a moment to fill in this form to help a child like Maria and her village.
It can make such a difference. . . in her life and yours.
Save the Children

Chairman
