Question

【題目】

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Organizing Your Time

You can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you’re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it, go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使……最大化) your personal time, rather than cramming(塞滿) as much as you can into each day.

●Set a sleep schedule. 【1】 Give yourself a one-hour target window for bedtime in the evening, and set a strict time to get up in the morning. Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need. 【2】

●Take care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care, commuting(乘公交下上班), work, shopping, eating, and chores(家務(wù)). Add in time for anything else you do most days, such as homework, exercise, or an active hobby. 【3】 All the time left over is your free time, to use for relaxation or whatever else you want.

●【4】 For example, you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip.

For many people, an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult. 【5】

A．However, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day.

B．Stick to it，even on weekends.

C．Try to combine trips outside the home to maximize your free time.

D．Different days call for different approaches.

E．Therefore, you won’t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you’ll fall asleep on time.

F．Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.

G．Put them in a specific order that works for you.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】G

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】文章大意：本文講述你能為金錢做出預(yù)算，同樣的你也可以為時間做出預(yù)算以使個人時間最大化；制定并嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行睡眠計劃，計劃好每天要做的任務(wù)，偶爾戶外旅行一下。

【1】根據(jù)前句Set a sleep schedule（制定一個睡眠計劃），可知后句應(yīng)是要堅持這個睡眠計劃，甚至周末都要如此，故選B。

【2】首先這一段都是與睡眠有關(guān)，其次根據(jù)前句Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need.（確保上床時間到起床時間比你實際所需要的睡眠時間多一小時），后文應(yīng)敘述為何這樣做，即：這樣你就不用擔(dān)心是否會按時睡著了，故選E。

【3】前文說Add in time for anything else you do most days，such as homework or an active hobby.（要為你大部分日子都做的事騰出時間，如作業(yè)、鍛煉、愛好等），可知后面應(yīng)是表達(dá)為這些事情安排自己能做到的合理順序，故選G。

【4】根據(jù)后文For example, you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip.（例如你也許計劃去，或下班回家的中途突然想去旅行），可知這一段都是關(guān)于旅行，空格處應(yīng)為嘗試將旅行結(jié)合起來最大化你的自由時間，故選C。

【5】根據(jù)前句an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult．（不規(guī)律的工作日程使得這種預(yù)算很困難），可知后句通常是轉(zhuǎn)這句，即：然而，你仍舊每天可以以相同的順序圍繞著你的預(yù)定計劃工作，故選A。
