But，as my professor suggested，it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that's important.That led me to a new idea：the quality of the work.That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office：“Don't work harder.Work smarter.”There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you can't get more time，and few of us can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work.That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits.Since “work” for students usually means “homework”，the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”．Then，as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study，chiefly reading and writing.If you learn to read better and write better，there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.1．From the passage，we know that the author is probably ________.A．a poet B．an educator C．a novelist D．an engineer2．We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still ________.A．have enough time B．can meet the presidentC．get everything done well D．should accept the explanation 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework.B．The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (the author) had done a good job.C．You can't improve the quality of the work if you can't get more time.D．You'll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student.4．What's the passage mainly about?A．Students don't have enough time. B．Don't work harder；work smarter.C．No one can get more time. D．Read better and write better.IV.阅读表达MySpace，Facebook and Orkut are some of the most popular sites on the Internet today.These sites are all called “social networking” sites.Each of these social networking sites has its own strengths: MySpace is especially popular among teenagers; Facebook is popular with college students and Orkut is especially loved in Brazil.Their common feature is that they provide a place for people to communicate.Social networks are considered to be Web 2.0.What does this mean？To understand this，it's important to understand what the original web did (often called Web 1.0)．Back in the nineties，the Internet was a place to go to read articles，listen to music，get information，etc.Most people didn't write anything on the sites.They just looked through the sites and took advantage of the information or resources provided.Of course，some people did create their own sites.However，________ was difficult.You needed to know the original language the Internet used.It certainly wasn't something most people wanted to do as it could take hours to get a basic page just right.Things began to get easier when blogs were introduced.With blogs，many more people began writing posts，as well as commenting on other people'sblogs.In 2003 a site named MySpace took the Internet by storm.It was trying to imitate the most popular features of Friendster，the first social networking site.It quickly became popular among young users.Soon everyone was trying to develop a social networking site. The sites didn't provide content to people；they helped people create，communicate and share what they loved including music，images_and_videos.Relying on the desire of users to communicate with each other is the key to the success of Web 2.0 companies.1．What is the main idea of the text？(no more than10 words)___________________________________________________________________ 2．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?Most of the people surely didn't want to do it because they had to spend long hours making a proper basic page.___________________________________________________________________ 3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.(no more than 5 words)___________________________________________________________________ 4．List three most popular social networking websites.(no more than 6 words)①_________________________________________________________________②__________________________________________________________________③__________________________________________________________________5．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.___________________________________________________________________Book 4 Unit3 能力提升编号 301、解析：句意：看来她打算做饺子。
