According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, we officially welcome the Year of the Horse better than others.
The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world. Horses were used for thousands of years as a means of transportation, a weapon of war and a plougher of fields(犁地農(nóng)具), but "the horse was more than just a vehicle - it had more character than a car, a tank or a tractor," Clare Balding wrote for The Telegraph.

In the Middle Ages in Western societies, the horse was a symbol of chivalry（騎士神）and nobility(貴族). In fact, the word "chivalry" comes from "cheval" in Old French, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to fashion the 19th-century "gentleman", which was about good manners, courage and honesty to friends.
Nowadays, because of economic(經(jīng)濟) development, people in Western societies are less likely to see or ride horses. People living in cities, in particular, hardly ever experience horses except through movies, paintings or books. But horse racing, and betting .money on horse races, is still popular. The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular sporting events every year in the US.
In the UK, the royal police still go around the city on horseback and the Queen rides in a traditional horse-drawn carriage on "ceremonial occasions (正式場合)”．
Some sayings about horses are still used in English today. For example, people still say "hold your horses" to mean “slow down". If someone seems too proud, people might tell him or her to "get off his or her high horse". And since horses are strong and energetic, there are expressions such as "as strong as a horse", "workhorse" and "horsing around".   .
Interestingly, the horse also appears in many Chinese sayings, such as Qianlima, which means a talented person. Other Chinese horse sayings include Madaochenggong (instant success) and Baimawangzi (prince charming).
Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have "excellent memories", according to Discovery News. Maybe that's why Chinese people say, "An old horse never gets lost".
Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to share them.
小題1:According to Chinese tradition, which year is welcomed best officially?
A．the Year of the SnakeB．the Year of the Tiger
C．the Year of the MouseD．the Year of the Horse
小題2:According to the passage, which is NOT the role of the horse nowadays?
A．A weapon of war.
B．The royal police's transportation to go around in the UK.
C．Race horses.
D．Animal actors in movies.
小題3:If a friend of yours is overconfident, what are you supposed to tell him or her?
A．Hold your horses.B．Get off your high horse.
C．Be as strong as a horseD．An old horse never gets lost
小題4:According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why people like horses?
A．The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world
B．The horse was a symbol of chivalry and nobility in the Middle Ages in Western societies.
C．Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have “excellent memories".
D．Horses are only used as a means of transportation like a car, a tank or a tractor.
小題5:From the passage we know that                     .
A．Economy develops a lot, so people in Western societies hardly see or ride horses nowadays.
B．The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular betting events every year in the US.
C．Qianlima in Chinese means a person who can run one thousand kilometers a day.
D．Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to be as strong as a horse.

Time can be categorized (分類) into three general types:
Predictable Time: Such activities as classes, team practice, eating and sleeping. If you know the restaurant is open between 7:00am and 7:30pm, you should plan to eat sometime between that block of time.
Discretionary Time: This is free time that can be planned in a manner matching with your lifestyle and to carry through the most important considerations in your life.
Imposed Time: Activities including unexpected and difficult or dangerous situations which happen suddenly and which require quick action to deal with them.
How to manage your Time:
Value Your Own Situation. The first step is to know yourself. People work differently. Some people are very active in the early morning and can carry out much at that time. Others find that their most powerful time is later in the day.
Get Organized. Make a shopping list or make some type of planned notebook. This may seem simple but you would be surprised how many people do not use these necessary things.
Prepare a To-Do List. Consider all that you wish to complete and make a list. Prioritize (優(yōu)先排序) these items using three rules A, B, C:
A=" Most" important goal that needs to be completed very soon
B=" Next" important goal that does not have immediate necessity
C=" Finally," do all other things.
Plan Your Time. Fill in any spaces purposely left blank, and block out time to sleep. Be realistic, most college students don’t go to bed at 9 pm. Choose time for recreation each day.
Plan Study Time. Students should study 2-3 hours for every unit, for a total of 25-35 hours per week.
Time management is a system of learning to give first concern to the tasks you wish to complete. The key to being a good time manager is to learn to make full use of discretionary time and try to use it successfully.
小題1:What does the underlined phrase “Imposed Time” mean?
A．Unreasonable time.B．Valuable time.
C．Busy time.D．Unpredictable time.
小題2:Which of the following can be considered as Rule A according to the To-Do List?
A．Study for the final exam.
B．Play in the sports club in free time.
C．Visit an art museum at the weekend.
D．Hand in the history report tomorrow morning.
小題3:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Time preference.B．Time management.
C．Importance of managing time.D．Instructions of saving time.

Emma was on one of the mountains near the city and took photos of my city. It was great to watch the stars and the moon after a busy day that she could enjoy this relaxing moment.
Albert works as a waiter in a restaurant. Their restaurant was still open even for Earth Hour as they got lots of reservations(預定) that night. So they spent the hour working by candlelight. And guess what? Their customers loved that and promised to come for next Earth Hour.
Brandon turned off the main power to his house and went for a walk for Earth Hour. It was a little strange to walk in the dark, but it was only for one hour. Just think of what it must have been like before the invention of light bulb!
