And if you dont know for sure, its very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on

23、 the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe youre riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard .Even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (調節) the beating of our heart, the peace of our breathing, the disc

24、harge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we cant escape. Even if we ignore it, its still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “whos in charge？” We ca

25、n allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, youll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your stu

26、dies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather

27、than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.51.The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is_.A. your slave and serves you B. your supporter an helps y

28、ouC. under your control and obeys you D. under your influence and follows you52.

30、mall animals. But during the day, they hardly move at all. Instead, bats pass the time hanging upside down from a secret spot.There are a couple of reasons why bats rest this way. First of all, it puts them in a position for takeoff. Unlike birds, bats cant fly into the air from the ground. Their wi

31、ngs dont produce enough lift to take off from a dead stop, and their hind legs are so small and underdeveloped that they cant run to build up the necessary takeoff speed. Instead, they use their front claws to climb to a high spot, and then fall into flight.During the hours when most enemies are act

32、ive, bats gather where few animals would think to look and most cant reach. This allows them to disappear from the world until night comes again. Theres also little competition for these resting spots, as other flying animals dont have the ability to hang upside down. Bats have a unique physiologica

33、l adaptation that lets them hang around this way without using any energy. For you to hold your fist around an object tight, you contract（緊縮）several muscles in your arm, which are connected to your fingers by tendons（腱）；as one muscle contracts, it pulls a tendon, which pulls one of your fingers clos

34、ed. A bats talons（爪）close in the same way, except that their tendons are connected only to the upper body, not to a muscle. To hang upside down, a bat pulls its claws open with other muscles. To get the talons to take hold of the surface, the bat simply lets its body relax. The weight of the upper b

35、ody pulls down on the tendons connected to the talons, causing them to hold tight. Therefore, the bat doesnt have to do anything to hang upside down.54.

36、d legs to support their body D. they cant find quiet places to stay during the day55.

Because their tendons are linked to their upper body.57. What is the passage mainly about?A. The living habits

38、 of bats. B. How and why bats hang upside down.C. The importance of bats hanging upside down. D. How bats use their energy at night. CExploit your parking spaceAn unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or &
