2020届浙江省新高考高三英语作文“内容概要”

模拟练习（二十）写作指导

一、概写原文

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted（被分心）by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? "People often lose their concentration when they are bored or when they are engaged in several challenging tasks at the same time." says Peter Bregman. "They sometimes feel the need to escape from what's difficult or boring, so they jump out," he says.

The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center. Any strong emotion--quarrels with colleagues, problems at home –can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.

Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, "Stop and listen to music for a few minutes. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath. While you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly." This can blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus.

Take more control of what you are doing. "Setting the phone alarm to go off(响起来) every hour is my way of creating awareness of my behavior," Mr. Bregman says. "You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in

order to do something about it." Starting the day with a to-do list is important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it's overly ambitious(雄心勃勃的) you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. "Choosing three or four things as your priority(优先事项) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus," he says.
