    In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.

    A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:

    Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.

    Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.

    Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.

    1.With a plan of action, you can ______.

    A. work harder

    B. do the wrong things more rapidly

    C. avoid doing wrong things

    D. get nowhere faster

    2.Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.

    A. waste a lot of time

    B. find the things you need easily

    C. become a top manager

    D. save seven and a half hours per week

    3.The text mainly tells us ______.

    A. how to avoid wasting time

    B. we should get our batteries all charged up

    C. how important time management is

    D. some time management mistakes

    Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

    For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.

    Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

    But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.

    That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

    We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.

    We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.

    I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

    Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.

    1.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?

    A. She needn’t stop on the way.

    B. It would be faster and easier.

    C. Her kids would feel less confined.

    D. She felt better with other drivers nearby.

    2.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6 ?

    A. Freeways are where beauty hides.

    B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life

    C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health

    D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals

    3.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home

    A. To give herself some time to read

    B. To order some food for them

    C. To play a game with them.

    D. To let them cool down

    4.What could be the best title for the passage

    A. Charm of the Detour

    B. The Road to Bravery

    C. Creativity out of Necessity

    D. Road trip and Country Life

    Windows8, apart from Windows95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft’s operating system that has been changed from the core（核心）when compared to its former one.

    However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows8.

    Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows7 to Windows8.

    Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows7.

    New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!

    Windows8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PCs and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.

    However, there are still some disadvantages.

    The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface introduced by Windows8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.

    1.What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?

    A. Math symbols. B. Strengths.

    C. New rules. D. Messages.

    2.According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows8 is its ______.

    A. complex passwords B. high speed

    C. unique experience D. new interface

    3.From the text we can learn that Windows8 ______.

    A. no longer requires a password

    B. was upgraded from windows95

    C. will be popular with desktop users

    D. can be used on more than computers

    4.Many Windows8 users face the problem that ______.

    A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner

    B. they have to use fingerprints instead of button

    C. keyboard and mouse can’t be used any longer

    D. they don’t get accustomed to the new interface

    Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills began to be used in the ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

    For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radios. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

    During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

    1.From the text we know that windmills _______.

    A. were invented by European armies

    B. have a history of more than 2,800 years

    C. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered

    D. used to supply power to radio in remote area

    2.The underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

    A. making something cleaner

    B. making something flow freely

    C. making something flow in a particular direction

    D. making something into small parts

    3.One of the reasons wind was discovered in the 1970s is that_______.

    A. it is one of the oldest power sources

    B. wind power is cleaner

    C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind

    D. coal and gas failed to meet the needs

    4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

    A. The global trend towards producing power from wind.

    B. The design of wind power plants.

    C. The worldwide movement to save energy.

    D. The advantages of wind power.
