Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

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 spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

____【1】__ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

Get Out of Bed Earlier

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. ____【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（紧急的） 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 strike up a conversation．

_____【5】_____

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.

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了节省时间的方式方法。主要是从早起、先完成最重要的任务、少中断以及必要的休息方面做起，在日常生活中节省出更多的时间。

【1】F 考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。从空后面But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.可知，空格处应该与其后面一句形成转折，故选F。

【2】G 考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。从空前面看to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish与G项相连接，故选G。

【3】D 考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。此空处刚好需要一个对前面段意的小结，D项表示“如果你这样做下去的话，会节省出时间”正好是对前面的总结。故D项正确。

【4】C 考查的是上下文的语境理解能力。这一段都是讲排除干扰，选项中只有C项符合，故选C。

【5】A 考查的是上下文的语境理解能力及主题句的概括能力。空格处是下面内容的主题句，根据下面内容主要讲述要专注于工作，故选Ａ。
