Writer Carl Sandburg advised, “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine 36 it will be spent. Be 37 in case you let other people spend it for you.”
One 38 man must have been thinking about this when he 39 a time management seminar(研讨班课程). The instructor asked everyone in the class to make a 40 of ten major time wasters. The eager young man 41 his hand and inquired, “Is it necessary to 42 the individuals by name?”
How we use time is important, and only you can 43 what is a good use of your time. But if we are not clear about how we want to spend our time, other people will be very 44 to spend it for us. Those who take charge of their time have 45 to say “no”to some things that are 46 and to say “yes” to that which is more 47 . They decide how to fill their days up. They determine what is an important use of their 48 .
This is not to say that every minute should be used in 49 pursuits. I like Bertrand Russell’s observation: “The time you enjoy 50 is not wasted time.” Why? Because the way you spend time doing something that brings you 51 can be an excellent way to spend some of the day.
Only you can 52 how your time will be spent. You will use it for work as well as 53 ; for pursuing your dreams as well as relaxation; for self improvement and so on. But all of it ought to spent 54 you determine. For there are few things you will 55 more than to look back and wonder why you spent so much time doing what others want.
36、A.how B. when C. why D. where 37、A. helpful B. useful C. hopeful D. careful 38、A. clever B. strong C. young D. handsome 39、A. made B. took C. changed D. received 40、A. list B. pack C. pile D. group 41、A. reached B. covered C. raised D. showed 42、A. separate B. identify C. summarize D. explain 43、A. imagine B. guess C. realize D. determine 44、A. happy B. lucky C. angry D. curious 45、A. refused B. planned C. learned D. managed 46、A. unfinished B. unimportant C. uneasy D. unknown 47、A. challenging B. understanding C. developing D. satisfying 48、A. time B. money C. space D. room

A
Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face.Living alone, every day he worked in his garden.In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his.All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.
Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller.So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits.The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend.
The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship.
In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger.Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then.
“There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered.So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.” “You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”
“Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son.“I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.”
“How silly you are!” cried the Miller.“I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school.If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature.I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation.Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour.Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused.The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things.Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea.
Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans.Again he talked about friendship.“Hans, friendship never forgets.I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life.See, how lovely your roses are!”
Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold

during the hard time of the winter.
“I’ll give you many good things.I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller.“And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return.Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full.
” Poor Hans was afraid to say anything.He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.
The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”
“I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”
“Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse.Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”
Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.
One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.
“Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the doctor.But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night.It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me.You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.”
“Certainly,” cried Hans.He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy.However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned.
At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend.I should walk at the head of the procession.” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. 56.From the passage, we can learn that Hans ___________.
A.was extremely wise and noble B.was highly valued by the Miller C.admired the Miller very much D.had a strong desire for fortune
57.“Flour is one thing, and friendship is another” can be understood as ___________. A.“Different words may mean quite different things.” B.“Interest is permanent while friendship is flexible.” C.“I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life.” D.“I think being generous is the base of friendship.”
58.From the Miller’s talk at home, we can see he was ___________. A.serious but kind B.helpful and generous C.caring but strict D.selfish and cold-hearted 59.What’s the main cause of Hans’ tragedy?
A.True friendship between them. B.A lack of formal education. C.A sudden change of weather. D.Blind devotion to a friend. 60.The author described the Miller’s behavior in order to ___________.
