    There were a family of nine: the father, the mother, two boys and five girls. The father worked as a kitchen cleaner at a local school and the rest of the family did the same job-----clean people’s yards.  【小题1】     
    Then one day, the father lost his job at the school. He asked me if I could allow him to clean my yard.   【小题2】    He and his family came to our house three times a week to clean the yard.

    In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.  71  By now, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter.  72 
    As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest.  73 
    Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.
    This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong.  74 
    This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment.
      75 

    A．So she won the contest.
    B．As a result, she lost the contest.
    C．The judges wanted to give her another chance.
    D．It’s been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.”
    E. It’s so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow.
    F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.
    G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.

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

    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 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．

             1．Get Out of Bed Earlier

             If you normally get up at 7; 30 a．m．try getting up at 7:00 a．m．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. 

    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．

    3. 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．4. Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．

             4．  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．

    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．
