　　Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may want to have 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 the work will seem much harder than it really is.

　　Break your time into periods that you can control. 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 half an 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 for you really to learn. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day at school, will take the fear(忧虑) out of tests and keep you on top of it all.

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

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子)or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇怪的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.

Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin？'' Only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail--that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

3. You are not yet experienced because__________.

A. you don't know where to begin

B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail

C. you always asked question

D. you do not trust to your own powers

A. never ask question                               B. often begin at the tail

C. should write the end of the story                      D. should think of the beginning

A. How to draw a horse                                 B. I How to write a story

C. How to make your own rules                        D. Trust to your own powers
