Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring­clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar, or get a new qualification. __1__ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

·__2__

If you normally get up at 7：30 am try getting up at 7：00 am. That half­hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish, or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

·Do the important tasks first.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

__3__ The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

·Reduce interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. __4__ Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to start a conversation.

·Stay focused on your work.

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.__5__ If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.

A.When you're working, work.

B.Take breaks when necessary.

C.If you have an office door, close it.

D.Get out of bed earlier.

E.If you work like this, you'll usually save time.

F.Would you want me to make your day longer?

G.I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.

文章大意：本文介绍了节省时间的方法。

答案：

1.G　由后文“但是我能帮你找到更多的时间”可知，此空应该是G项“虽然我不能魔幻地让你一天有25小时”符合语境。

2.D　该题是本段的主题句，所以早起床符合语境。

3.E　先做重要的事会节省你的时间。

4.C　该空所在段讲的是避免被打扰的方式，所以C项“关上办公室的门”符合语境。

5.A　与该段主题句“Stay focused on your work”照应的是A项。

Ⅳ.语法填空

(2014·吉林市三模)

Nowadays many singers and bands have little to do with good music. They know little about __1__ good music means. What is the cause?

So far most of these singers __2__(see) music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have a good appearance and expensive clothes to show off at your concerts then your voice is not __3__ important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body and even forget that you are there __4__(show) your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such __5__ high level.

Therefore, many young girls on TV choose to wear the most provocative (挑逗性的) clothes to catch attention. __6__ when it comes to singing, they are in a complete mess and one doesn't need to have an ear for music to notice their lack __7__ talent.

However, the young generation should understand talent and a good voice matter more in their musical career. All the performances __8__ have little to do with good music fail to be welcomed on stage. If a young man has a great voice and wants to become a __9__(success) singer, he should take some special __10__(course) in this area because they will help him improve singing abilities.

文章大意：本文对当前很多歌手和乐队不把重点放在音乐本身一事展开了揭示和批评。

答案：

1.what　他们对什么是好音乐所知甚少。宾语从句中mean缺少宾语，所以填what。

2.have seen　由时间状语so far可知，用现在完成时。

3.as/so　由后面的as可知，此处为as...as...结构;在否定句中第一个as也可以换成so。

4.to show　由句意可知，此处用不定式表目的。

5.a　such a high level“如此高的水平”。

6.But　前后句为转折关系。

7.of　lack of... “缺乏……”。

8.that　__8__ have little to do with good music为定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以填关系代词;先行词前有all，所以用that不用which。

9.successful　名词前用形容词修饰。

10.courses　由前面的some可知，此处用复数。course“课程”。
