Lesson One TextThe Time MessageElwood N, ChapmanTime is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example, at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control!Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem.Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The most time you waste, the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice.Message1. Control time from the beginning.Time is today, not tomorrow of next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. Message2. Get the notebook habit.Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each Day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.Message3. Be realistic.Often you know form experience how long it takes you to write a short essay, to study for a quiz, or to review for a final exam. When you plan time for these things, be realistic. Allow for unexpected things. Otherwise you entire plan may be upset.Message4. Plan at least one hour for each hour in class.How much study time you plan for each classroom hour depends on four things: (1) you ability, (2) the difficulty of the class, (3) the grades you hope to achieve, and (4) how well you use your study time. One thing, however, is Certain; you should plan at least one hour of study for each classroom hour, in many cases, two or three hours will be required.Message5. Keep you plan flexible.It is important that you re-plan your time on a weekly basis so that you can make certain changes when necessary. For example, before mid-term or final exams, you will want to give more time to reviewing. A good plan must be a little flexible so that special projects can be done well.Message6. Study for sometime each class day.Some solid work each day is better than many study hours one day and nothing the next. When you work out your schedule, try to include at least two study hours each day. This will not only keep the study habit alive but also keep you up to date on your class assignments.Message7. Free on Saturday-study on Sunday.It is good to stop all study activities for one full day. Many students choose Saturday for sports or social activities. Sunday, one the other hand, seems to the best study day for many students. It is a good day to catch up on back reading and other assignments.message n. 要旨，要点tricky adj.

His father, a shoemaker, had died, and his mother had married againOne day the boy went to ask a favor of the prince of Denmark. When the prince asked him what he wanted, the boy said.” I want to write plays in poetry and to act at the royal theater.” The prince looked at the boy, at his big hands and feet, at his big nose and large serious eyes, and gave a sensible answer. “It is one thing to act in plays, another to write them. I tell y ou this for your own good; learn a useful trade like shoemaking.”So the boy, who was not sensible at all, went home. There he took what little money he had, said good-bye to his mother and his stepfather and started out to seek his fortune. He was sure that some day the name Hans Christian Andersen would be known all over DenmarkTo believe such a story one would have to believe in fairy tales! Hans Christian knew many such tales. He had heard some of them from his father, who had worked hard at his trade, but liked to read better than to make shoes. In the evenings, he had read aloud form the Arabian nights. His wife understood very little of the book, but the boy, pretending to sleep, understood every word.By day Hans Christian went to a house where old women worked as weavers. There he listened to the tales that the women told as they worked at their weaving. In those days, there were almost as many tales in Denmark as there were people to tell them.Among the tales told in the town of Odense, where Andersen was both in 1805 was one about a fairy who brought death to those who danced with her. To this tale, Hans Christian later added a story from his own life.Once, when his father was still alive, a young lady ordered a pair of red shoes. When she ref used to pay for them, unhappiness filled the poor shoemaker’s house from that small tragedy and the story of the dancing fairy, the shoemaker’s son years later wrote the story of the dancing fairy, the shoemaker’s son years later wrote the story that milli ons of people now know as the red shoes. The genius of Andersen is that he put so much of everyday life into the wonder of his fairy tales.When Hans Christian’s mother was a little girl, she was sent out on the streets to beg. She did not want to beg , so she sat out of sight under one of the city bridges. She warmed her cold feet in her hands, for she had no shoes. She was afraid to go home. Years latter, her son, in his pity for her and his anger at the world, wrote the angry story she’s no good and the famous tale the little match girl.Through his genius, he changed every early experience, even his father’s death, into a fairy tale. One cold day the boy had stood looking at the white patterns formed on the window by the frost. His father showed him a white, woman-like figure among the frost patterns. “That is the snow queen,” said the shoemaker. “soon she will be coming for me.” A few months later he was dead. And years later, Andersen turned that sad experience into a fairy tale, the snow queen.After the prince told him to learn a trade, Hans Christian went to Copenhagen. He was just fourteen years old at the time.When he arrived in the city, he went to see as many important people as he could find–dancers, writers and theater people of Copenhagen. But none of them lent a helping hand to the boy with the big hands, the big feet and the big nose. Finally, he had just seven pennies left.The boy had a beautiful high, clear voice. One day a music teacher heard him singing and decided to help him. He collected money from his fiends and gave it to the boy so that he could boy food and clothing while he studied singing.Hans Christian was happier than he had ever been in his life. But soon his boy’s voice broke. The beautiful high voice was gone forever.The boy soon found new friends who admired his genius. there was even a princess whogave him a little money from time to time for food and clothes. But Hans Christian bought little food and no clothes. Instead, he bought books and went to the theater.fairy tale n. 童话，神话fairy n. 小仙子，小精灵shoemaker n. 鞋匠shoemaking n. 制鞋，补鞋prince n.王子princess n. 公主poetry n.诗（总称）act v.表演royal adj.王室的，皇家的sensible adj.（建议、主意等）合情合理的，明智的；（人）明智的，明白事理的stepfather n.继父weaving n. 编织weaver n.织布工unhappiness n.不幸福，不愉快tragedy n.悲剧，悲惨的事dancer n.舞蹈演员genius n.天才；创造力warm v.（使……）变暖，暖和for conj. 因为，由于frost n.霜woman-like adj.女人似的figure n.身影，人影writer n.作家，作者helping adj.帮助的finally adv.最后，最终beautiful美妙动听的high高音调的，尖声的break（男孩的嗓音）青春期时变低沉Donald peattie唐纳德·皮蒂louise peattie 路易丝·皮蒂hans christian anderson汉斯·克里斯琴·安徒生denmark丹麦odense欧登塞（地名）copenhagen哥本哈根（地名）once upon a time很久以前ask a favour of sb. 请某人帮忙look at看着believe in 相信，信任work hard at在……上下功夫pay for sth.支付……的费用be afraid to do sth. 害怕做某事change/turn …into…把……改变成……arrive in /at到达for ever永远from time to time不时的，常常lend a helping hand to sb.帮某人一把pretend to do sth.假装做某事not… at all根本不，一点儿也不he doesn’t know the meaning at all .start out出发，动身they started out to look for the lost boy.we started out at 7 o’clockadd sth. to sth.加上please add your name to the list.out of sight从视线中消失（变得看不见）the ship was soon out of sightout of sight, out of mind.（谚语：不见就忘。
