for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.
The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for
accurately predicting the German team"s five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also
tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.
"We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual
job-making children smile," Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting
Pual with the World Cup replica.

small fortunes based on Paul"s guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in
London. "I"ve seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I"ve ever seen people making their
picks based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn"t know how to
place a bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It"s funny. But he kept
getting it right." said Sharpe.
Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累计下注)on Paul"s prediction
from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds($4,500)by the end of the tournament.
Paul"s home at Sea Life aquarium(水族馆)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media

Time is not our problems , but what we do with the limited time we have is the issue. Many people
spend their days on dozens of activities , but achieve very little because they aren"t concentrating on
right things. The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80:20 Rule shows us that typically eighty per cent
of unfocused effort generates only twenty percent of the results. The remaining eighty per cent of the
results are achieved with only twenty percent of the effort . To effectively manage your time, you need
to change where you are spending your time. We all have the same amount of time every day. How you
spend your time is how you spend your life. Here are time management strategies, which may be helpful.
Learn to say no
Politely say no should become a habit. Saying no frees up time for the things that are most important.
Make a "to-do" list
List the tasks that need to be done in order of their importance. Save other less important things for
when you have time.
Minimize interruption
Plan ahead. Think through projects. Look for ways to "block" interruptions. For example, close your
door, don"t answer the phone or work in a different space.
Combine several activities
Try to do several activities at one time. While going to school,listen to taped notes. This allows up to
an hour or two a day of good study review. While showering,make a mental list of the things. Above all,
be creative,and let it work for you.
1.According to the Pareto Principle, we can know that_________.
A. people can"t achieve a lot even though they concentrate on right things
B. people should focus more effort on right and important things and finish them first
C. people are certain to succeed if they spend twenty per cent of their time
D. eighty per cent of effort spent on one matter is useless
2. According to the passage, if you want to do several things on Sunday,you should __________.
A. do them while listening to the music
B. do all of them at one time

A. Time Management
B. The Pareto Principle
C. How to Make a "To-do" List

US President Barack Obama may have just made life more difficult for cigarette smokers, but he still
smokes every now and then in secret.
Obama, who has publicly struggled to quit smoking, said he still hasn"t completely kicked the habit
even after signing a law this week that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry.
"As a former smoker I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am
I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No," Obama said at a news conference.
" I don"t do it in front of my kids, I don"t do it in front of my family. I would say that I am 95 percent
cured, but there are times where I mess up," he said.
The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and
marketing of tobacco products.
At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said he was among the nearly 90 percent of
smokers who took up the habit before their 18th birthday.
" Once you go down this path it"s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the
law we signed is so important because what we don"t want is kids going down that path in the first place," he said at the news conference.
Nearly 20 percent of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the
United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases.
1. According to the passage, Obama _________.
