Ⅱ. Cloze Test (20 points, 1 point each)

One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point 16 , he used an illustration.

As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.”He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he17 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.

When the jar was filled to the18 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar19?”Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”

“Really?”Then he20 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel，dumped some in and21 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space22 the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probab ly not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.

He reached under the table and23 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the24 left between the rocks and the gravel.25 he asked the question. “No!”the class shouted. “Good!”Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in26 the jar was filled to the brim.

Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the 27 of this illustration?”It is such a seemingly easy question that one28 student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always29 some more things in it.”

“No,”the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will30 get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first.31 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and32 for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with33 things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are34 on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’in your life? Then put those in your35 first.”
