make you want to work or do they make you sleepy __3__

each task by a certain date.

policies, most determine admission based on several standards, including

a student's high school course of study, high school Grade Point Average

(GPA), participation in activities,SAT or ACTexam scores, a written essay, and possibly a personal interview.

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

s pring-clean 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 half-hour 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 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。
