第二节完形填空（共20小题：每小题1分，满分20分）

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

Research shows that when we are absorbed in an activity, even minor distractions (分心) can have a huge effect. According to a study, regaining our 36 drive following an interruption can take about 20 minutes.

Multitasking (多任务)，as many studies have shown, is a myth (谬论). A more accurate 37 of what happens when we tell ourselves we are multitasking is that we’re rapidly 38 between activities, sucking our mental energy. And the 39 can be surprisingly serious. An experiment found that we lose as many as 10 IQ points when we allow our work to be 40 by distractions like emails and text messages.

The 41 is that multitasking is enjoyable. It’s fun to satisfy your curiosity. Who knows w hat that next email or text message holds 42? Finding out provides immediate satisfaction. 43, resisting distractions and staying on task requires 44 and mental effort.

So, what are we to do?

Our strategy is to change the 45 to move temptation further away: shut down your email program or 46 your phone. It’s a lot easier to stay on task when you’re not 47 fighting off mental desires.

The alternative, which most of us consider common, is 48 to dieting in a bakery. We all need the willpower to resist the temptations, but doing so comes with 49 costs to our limited supply of willpower.

Another worthwhile 50 is to collect similar activities together, keeping transition (转换) time to a 51 point. Instead of spreading phone calls, meetings and emails throughout your day, try 52 related tasks so that there are fewer transitions.

In some jobs, multitasking is 53. Some of us truly do need to stay 54 to our clients, colleagues and managers. So it's worth noting that limiting disruptions is the only solution.

Remember the more you do to minimize task-switching over the course of the day, the more ability you’ll have for activities t hat actually 55. Even small changes can make a big difference.

36. A. initial B. personal C. inner D. ambitious

37. A. plan B. account C. prediction D. insight

38. A. switching B. swinging C. swapping D. shuttling

39. A. benefits B. reasons C. consequences D. challenges

40. A. guided B. changed C. adapted D. interrupted

41. A. advantage B. emphasis C. trouble D. practice
