Sleep Cycle uses your phone’s microphone and/or accelerometer to analyze your sleeping patterns and wake you up at the best time, when you’re in your lightest sleep state(within a window that you set, so that you’re not late). myHomework Student Planner(free; iOS, Android, Windows)The myHomework Student Planner is available on wide variety of platforms so that you can stay organized wherever you are.

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫）and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--- then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica(《大英百科全书》），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.    One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe ,must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.28. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A. delay tasks       B. work hard      C. seek help      D. accept failure29. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.   B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.   D. Dealing with the hardest task first.30. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task         B. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.             D. After finding a way out.31. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problems     B. get some nice sleep  C. gain complete relief      D. find the right solution DThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe(烟斗) and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.32. What kind of life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.     B. A new life.　　C. A happy life.         D. A modern life.33. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.  B. He couldn’t help the family.C. He had run away from school.  D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.34. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.        B. It’s warm.　　　C. It’s false.         D. It’s secret.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Magic Trust      B. A Powerful Smile C. Unconditional Love    D. An Interesting Pipe 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。   With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging.
