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（緊急的） 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.

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．

Does happiness have a scent? When someone is happy, can you smell it? You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness?

Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be spread through smell, reports Phys.org.

For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.

Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it’s unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.

Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.

“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.

This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.

Researchers have yet to isolate exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies(香味療法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.

Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.

1.What is the main finding of the new research?

A. Men produce more sweats.

B. Negative emotions have a smell.

C. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.

D. Women have a better sense of smell.

2.The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. avoidB. practiceC. continueD. try

3.What is the application value of the new research?

A. Perfumes could help people understand each other.

B. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.

C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.

D. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.

A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat

B. positive emotions can deepen understanding

C. people need more emotional communication

D. social surroundings can influence our emotions

Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.

Children and adults learn new languages in different ways．For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand，are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults seldom get the chance to practice as much as young children do.

Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

Research has shown that children who learn a new language when they are very young will not be likely to have a “foreign” accent when speaking a different language. Some scientists also believe that it can take up to 10,000 hours of study to master a new language. This can be difficult for adults to achieve, but young children can accumulate(積累) those hours over several years as they grow up.

When young children learn a new language, they come to see multiple languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset (思維模式) helps them learn a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.

So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!

1.By “l(fā)anguage is their life”, the author means that children ________.

A. can’t live without language

B. lead a happy life every day

C. practice a new language a lot

D. are good at speaking language

2.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language?

A. They usually have too many interests.

B. They are afraid of being laughed at.

C. They think making mistakes is natural.

D. They always make all kinds of mistakes.

3.According to the author, a new language ________.

A. can be grasped by the old people easily

B. can never be learned by the old people

C. can be learned by both the old and the young

D. is an important skill for the old people

4.The author develops this passage by ________.

A. making several comparisons(對比)

B. presenting research findings

C. offering some typical examples

D. telling some interesting stories
