14、ty-as-School“ and the name means just that, the city itself is the place where 350 students, between the age of 15 and 18, learn their lessons. Students choose areas of work which interest them and then they help to do that work. For instance, one girl spends her week in the offices of a Congresswom
15、an an elected official helping the public with problems such as pensions, housing, etc. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends one day a week taking first-year courses at college. City-as-School is 30 years old. The education system in New York accepts it now, as an alternative
16、to final years at school. But can it replace ordinary lessons? Well, students have to pass maths and science exams before they enter the “school“. These subjects are not easy to provide for in “ City-as-School“. Teachers monitor the progress of the students, 80 to 85% of the students go to college (
17、or university, as it is called in Britain) after their time at “City-as-School“. The success rate is high. And the students are enthusiastic about their “school“. They like the responsibility of their work, and the sense of purpose it gives them. When the students leave “City-as-School“ , they dont

You will never
22、 have enough time for everything, so you need to decide what is really important. Important activities are those which help you to achieve your goals. Most of us have learned to respond to urgent requests at the expense of important tasks. Ignore important tasks at your peril-they will escalate and
23、become urgent, at which point you have yet another crisis to deal with! Do you find yourself responding to “urgent“ items or requests more quickly than “important“ ones? Start making important tasks seem more urgent by setting deadlines for them, and schedule the activities into your day. Make sure
24、you take care of the important tasks, even if they are not urgent. When you do have to react to an “urgent request“, spend some time thinking through your response. Solutions that are well thought out are usually better than impulsive reactions. If you start spending 80% of your time working with “N
25、ot Urgent but Important“ items, and only 20% of your time on the others, your effectiveness will increase greatly. Most people start with the quick, easy or enjoyable tasks on their task list. Think about starting with the most important tasks instead. （分数：17.50）(1).What do most people do when they
