How to Work Faster and Smarter
•Structure.Planning, using productivity tools, and scheduling tasks on your calendar can help.Set yourself up to win by breaking tasks down into manageable small tasks.__1__ And you still have time to take care of yourself, such as eating well, exercising, relaxing, etc.Without self-care, you lose efficiency due to being overworked.
•Don’t multitask.There is an illusion(错觉) that doing many things at once is productive.Instead, it leaves you half-focused, and constantly switching gears(切换注意力)．__2__ Set a timer, and work in 90-minute increments.Focus on that one task either for 90 minutes, or until it is complete.Then, take a break, and move on.
•Urgent doesn’t necessarily mean important.__3__What someone else thinks is urgent can create a sense of people－pleasing caused panic.If you know it is not important, then prioritize, and do what is most important first instead.You know best how to set your priorities and get your work done.
•__4__ Power down those phones, turn off notifications.Set up an autoresponder(自动回复器) if you need to, but disconnect in order to avoid distractions.You will get more done, if you focus only at the task at hand and answer to all missed calls and notifications once you’re done.
•Take breaks.__5__ Shake it out.Eyestrain and headaches can happen if you look at a computer screen for too long.Get outside for a quick walk and come back feeling refreshed and energetic.
A．Turn it off.
B．Get up and move around.
C．You must listen to yourself.
D．Create true office hours and stick to them.
E．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
F．In this way you can know what is most important to do first.
G．You may have a sense that nothing ever really gets complete this way.
答案 1.F [空格前面一句意为“让自己把任务分解成可管理的小任务”，那么接下来的一句应该说这样做的好处是什么。

选项F的意思为“这样你就知道首先要做的最重要的是什么”。

故选F。

]
2．G [空格前面的句子意为“相反，它让你只有一半的专注，不断切换注意力。

”这种做法造成的结果是“你可能有一个感觉，用这种方式从来没有什么事情是真正得到完成的”。

故选G。

]
3．C [空格后面一句意为“别人认为紧急的事情可以引起恐慌。

”所以紧急并不一定意味着重要。

因此你应该倾听自己。

故选C。

]
4．A [根据本段“让手机断电，关闭通知”等等内容，可以判断本段的标题应该为“把它关掉”。

故选A。

]
5．B [本段标题为“休息”，选项B意为“起来四处走走”，这是休息的一种方式，故选B。

] Ⅱ.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

My six-year-old daughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a shop for some candy.As we were going out the door, a boy was coming in.The boy had a big scar in his face __1__ made him very ugly.He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, __2__ (stop) when she saw the boy.I thought the ugly b oy scared her, and she’d frozen on the spot.But I was wrong.Caitlynd backed up against the door and opened it wide.So it was much __3__ (easy) for the boy to pass it.Now I was face to face with the boy.I stepped aside and let him pass.He replied “Thank you very much.” __4__ (polite)．
On our way to the car, I commended Caitlynd __5__ her manners in holding open the door for the boy.She didn’t seem to be __6__ (scare) by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure.If a __7__ (mother) talk about freedom of self－expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.As it turned
out，__8__was I who needed the talk.The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the boy was the fact that his arms were full.“It was __9__ (difficulty) for him to open the door.”
I saw the ugly scar in the boy’s face, but she saw a person carrying something under each arm and __10__ (head) toward a closed door.
答案 1.which/that [考查定语从句引导词。

made him very ugly前面缺少指代scar这一名词的主语，故用which或that引导定语从句。

]
2．stopped [考查动词时态。

本文主体时态为一般过去时，该句为发生在过去的事情，故用stop的过去式。

]
3．easier [考查形容词比较级。

Caitlynd将门打开的宽宽的，使得小男孩更容易通过。

] 4．politely [考查词性转换。

空格处所填单词应该修饰动词replied，故用副词形式。

] 5．for [考查固定搭配中的介词。

commend sb for sth是固定搭配，意为“因为某事而表扬某人”。

]
6．scared [考查被动语态。

根据空格后面的by his appearance可知，Caitlynd没有被小男孩的相貌吓住。

]
7．motherly [考查词性转换。

mother为名词，而空格处需要填一个形容词，用以修饰其后面的名词talk。

motherly为形容词，意为“母亲般的；慈母般的”。

]
8．it [考查代词it的用法。

It is/was...who/that...是强调句型结构。

]
9．difficult [考查词性转换。

空格前面的was决定了空格处应该填difficulty的形容词形式。

]
10．heading [考查词性转换。

空格所填单词的形式应该与carrying一致，故填heading。

] Ⅲ.阅读理解
