32、Little Tom likes cartoons Very much. When the cartoons begin on TV, he does nothing until they're over. Sometimes he'd rather wait for a long time and go to bed late. In the morning his mother has to wake him up, or he'll be late for school.

He hurried to the sitting room and turned on the television again, but he couldn't find the cartoon. He rushed into the kitchen and asked his mother for help.

31、Never try to work when you are hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may get something to eat before getting to work.

      Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is.

     If you have more than an hour's work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don't break it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least a half hour at a time without stopping.

      Don't put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.

     Do your homework at the same time every evening. This will help you make it a habit. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable, as well.

30、The staff of the Kennedy School Newsletter asked students at our school to take a survey. In the survey, we asked, "What is your dream job?" We asked 400 students at our school. Here are the results of our survey.

     Most of the students at our school wanted to be professional athletes (专业运动员) in the future! At our school, 64 people hoped to be sports stars in the future. This included 32 future soccer players, 12 baseball players, 10 basketball players, 7 tennis players, and 3 hockey players.

     Lots of students at our school also wanted to be movie stars or singers.58 students said they wanted to become singers, and 57 said they wanted to act in movies. We hope your dreams come true! Just remember your friends from school when you become superstars.

     Other popular future jobs are vets (49), computer programmers (40), writers (30), and artists (29). To our surprise, very few students at our school wanted to be doctors (7), lawyers (13), or business people (4). And the teachers at our school may be surprised to know that only 9 students hoped to teach in the future. Sorry teachers!

     You can see the rest of the results from our survey in the chart. And for those students who did not get to answer our survey, please stop by our office. We want to know your ideas, tool We will add your answers to our survey results and publish the final results in the school yearbook.
