In today’s society，a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn．For instance，the IT world is constantly changing．Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years．The point is to learn to learn．

Blogging works exactly the same way．And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal．If you’re trying to make money，this is abundantly clear．There’s always more money to be made．If you’re teaching on a subject，you’are constantly looking for new information to share．Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure，you’re continuously improving your writing and storytelling，so people don’t get bored of you.

This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out．They forget this．They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain．They get comfortable．Then they start to run out of juice．Sure，at times．it seems that some bloggers just have it．They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever．But this is not true．Pay attention．Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning．

The point is apparent．Don’t think you’ve succeeded．There are plateaus，but there are no peaks．What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the peak? They quickly begin sliding down the other side．Always be learning from your experiences．See what posts work for your readers．Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic，or get the most Absence clicks? Don’t settle or your blog will close for good eventually．

56．Judging from the passage，if you have got a college degree，say，in engineering，it means______． A．you’ve chosen to learn engineering B．you’ve finished learning engineering C．you’re good at engineering

D．you can find work relating to engineering

B．the knowledge needed for blogging forever

60．The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to____________. A．update their knowledge B．learn from others C．learn from their experiences D．reach blogging peaks

While working with troubled teens，I used to have them do the Ten Years in the Future exercise．I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future．Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week，much less ten years to come. Like the Cheshire cat says in Alice in Wonderland，“If you don’t know where you want to go，then it doesn’t really matter what road you take!” We had some great conversations as they really thought about what they wanted．For most of them，this was the first time they had ever thought this way!

But the real story is what happened to me．I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions，writing my dreams and visions(远景规划)in detail．In my letter to a friend，I had moved to the country，built my own home，authored a book，and started my own business．Over the next ten years，something magic happened．All my dreams and visions became a reality，almost as if arranged by an unseen hand．I did write books and start my business．We did move to the country and I did build my own home．

This letter to a friend will become a magnetic(有吸引力的)factor in your life．Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals，your monthly goals，and your daily activities．For example：

“Leslie，I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life．I started my own gardening business in 2020 and it’s really taken off．”

Remember to describe all the details as if they have already happened．Write to a real person who you think may still know in ten years．This will help make it more real for you．

Sit down and write your Ten Years in the Future letter today． 61．What can we learn from what the Cheshire cat says? A．you should have a goal

B．you had better not copy others

D．you may have different ideas

62．It seems that the writer’s dreams and visions became a reality because the writer A．had put something magic in the letter B．could foresee what would happen

If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school，then you are probably not sleeping well．Worry can keep you awake，tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep．When you wake up，you don’t feel refreshed，but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day．

Dr．Henry Winkle，in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep，indicates that stress and lack of sleep are directly related．Dr．Winkle says，“The more we worry，the less we sleep，the more we are unable to_____．If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep，”he adds，“we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying US”．

So，what is a good night’s sleep?Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot．Seven hours is about the average amount，though strangely enough，sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

Dr．Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important．People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed．This could be watching TV or listening to music．Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired．A bedtime drink can also help，but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake．“When you put the light out，”Dr．Winkle says，“concentrate on relaxing your muscles working slowly up from your feet，and you’ll be asleep before you know it．” 66．What will cause you not to sleep well?(Please answer within 15 words．)
