  No one has enough, but everyone has all there is.We each have just twenty-four hours in a day.Time is not our problems , but what we do with the limited time we have is the issue.Many people spend their days on dozens of activities , but achieve very little because they aren't concentrating on right things.The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80:20 Rule shows us that typically eighty per cent of unfocused effort generates only twenty percent of the results.The remaining eighty per cent of the results are achieved with only twenty percent of the effort.To effectively manage your time, you need to change where you are spending your time.We all have the same amount of time every day.How you spend your time is how you spend your life.Here are time management strategies, which may be helpful.

  Learn to say no

  Politely say no should become a habit.Saying no frees up time for the things that are most important.

  Make a “to-do” list

  List the tasks that need to be done in order of their importance.Save other less important things for when you have time.

  Minimize interruption

  Plan ahead.Think through projects.Look for ways to “block” interruptions.For example, close your door, don't answer the phone or work in a different space.

  Combine several activities

  Try to do several activities at one time.While going to school, listen to taped notes.This allows up to an hour or two a day of good study review.While showering, make a mental list of the things.Above all, be creative, and let it work for you.

(1)

According to the Pareto Principle, we can know that ________.

[  ]

A.

people can't achieve a lot even though they concentrate on right things

B.

people should focus more effort on right and important things and finish them first

C.

people are certain to succeed if they spend twenty per cent of their time

D.

eighty per cent of effort spent on one matter is useless

(2)

According to the passage, if you want to do several things on Sunday, you should ________.

[  ]

A.

do them while listening to the music

B.

do all of them at one time

C.

do the most important one first

D.

(3)

The underlined word“block”in the passage means“________ ”.

[  ]

A.

B.

prevent

C.

arrange

D.

阅读理解:阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。 

    Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and   they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated   (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,   prefer water with vitamins (维生素) to water without vitamins, even   though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water   bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the   vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it   and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (转) to   the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back   to where the necessary vitamins were.

  

      In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a   cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.   They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested   in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating   patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well   balanced diet (饮食).

  

       So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on   what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which   humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many   of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影   响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and   blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how   much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on   around them.  

  

(1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the   rat's drinking water to ________.

[  ]

A. encourage rats to drink it     

B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer     

C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor     

D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless     

(2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to   drinking water which __________.          

[  ]

A. has no smell   B. is tasteless

C. has vitamins   D. is flavored     

(3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats   are similar (相似) because ___________.      

  

[  ]

A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet     

B. both prefer flavored food and drink     

C. both have the same eating patterns     

D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors     

(4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies   were _________.

A. given many choices of drinks     

B. provided with various kinds of baby food     

C. placed and fed in a cafeteria     

D. trained to select a balanced diet     

(5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ   from those of babies because ____________.    

  

[  ]

A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health     

B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods     

C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs     

D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

  So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), and that’s just a small part of what probably exists on Earth.With so many plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is crawling up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by.

  A soon-to-be-launched Website might help.An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web-based Encyclopedia of Life(EOL).The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.

  To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist.And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join.Gardeners, for example, will be able to record the dates that their flowers first bloom each year.Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they’ve seen and where.The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available.

  As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects.The site will have special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods.To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it.People who visit the site will be able to choose to skip pages that haven’t been reviewed.

  Another convenient characteristic of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match your interests, age, and current knowledge.If you wanted to learn about polar bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the“novice”setting to get basic information about the animals.On the“expert”setting, on the other hand.you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of polar bears.

  It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process.

  Keep an eye on www.eol.org.Pages will begin to go up sometime next year, and you might find them useful for your school reports.The EOL team might have the basics for all 1.8 million entries online as early as 2017.Someday, you might add your own notes.

You are not free to choose the amount of detailed information.

  Blue interrupted,“You only think about the   2  , but consider the sky and the sea.  3   the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea.Without my peace, you would all be   4  .”

  Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious.I bring laughter, fun, and   5   into the world.”

  In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting   14  yourselves, each trying to dominate  15  .Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose,   16  ?Join hands with   17   and come to me.”

  Doing as they were told, the colors   18   and joined hands.They formed a colorful rainbow.From then on, whenever a good rain   19   the world, a rainbow appears in the sky.They remember to   20   one another.
