黑龙江实验中学2016届高三上学期期末考英语试题及答案(4)

2. 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.   38   The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
3. 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.  39  Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
4.  40 
A few minutes' chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. 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．Stay Focused on Your Work
B．Take Breaks When Necessary
C．If you have an office door, close it.
D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time.
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.                                                         
                                                                 —Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic   41   to our class. When the papers were marked she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the   42    mistakes throughout the test.
　　There is nothing really new about  43   in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill  44   even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to   45   after class. I was one of the twelve.
　　Mrs O'Neill asked  46   questions, and she didn't   47    us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the   48  words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to  49    these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
　　I don't   50   about the other eleven boys. Speaking for  51   I can say :it was the most important single  52   of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay's words, they  53   seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a   54   to measure ourselves rather than others.
　    55   of us are asked to make  56   decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions.  57   the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket  58   turned over to the policeman? Should the  59   change received at the store be forgotten or returned? Nobody will know except  60   . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
