Question

1．Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted （走神） by e-mail，the Internet and other things throughout the day？
"People often lose their concentration when they are bored，of course，but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks，"says Peter Bregman．"They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring，so they jump out，"he says．The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center．Any strong emotion-quarrels with colleagues，problems at home-can interrupt our attention．Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction．
Refocusing is hard for many people．Robert Epstein suggests the following，"Stop and listen to music for a few minutes．Go for a short walk or take a deep breath，where you breathe in deeply，count to five slowly，hold it and breathe out very slowly．"This can"blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus．"
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors．"Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness，"Mr．Bregman says，"You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it．"Starting the day with a to-do list is important，such as when to eat，when to go to the gym or take a walk．But if it's overly ambitious，you will put yourself in a state of anxiety，which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate．"Choosing three or four things as your priority （優(yōu)先） for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus，"he says．

Answer 1

分析 短文講了如何更專(zhuān)注于你的工作，并分析了什么導(dǎo)致我們工作時(shí)容易分神，最后作者給出了幾點(diǎn)關(guān)于維持注意力的建議．

解答 76．focused/concentrated，由第一句Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted （走神） by e-mail，the Internet and other things throughout the day？可知短文主要講的是如何更專(zhuān)注于工作．　
77．Causes，短文第二段講的是引起走神的原因，故答案為Causes．　
78．fed，由句子People often lose their concentration when they are bored可知人們會(huì)對(duì)他們感到無(wú)聊的事情走神，be fed up with表示"對(duì)…厭煩"．
79．emotions/feelings，由句子Any strong emotion-quarrels with colleagues，problems at home-can interrupt our attention．可知答案為emotions/feelings，根據(jù)動(dòng)詞affect是原形可知主語(yǔ)要使用復(fù)數(shù)形式．
80．given/offered/assigned，由句子Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction．可知如果同一時(shí)間要完成多項(xiàng)任務(wù)的話就更容易走神．
81．Examples/Cases，根據(jù)右邊兩項(xiàng)是當(dāng)人有強(qiáng)烈情緒的時(shí)候，即它的范例，故答案為Examples/Cases．　
82．quarrel，由句子Any strong emotion-quarrels with colleagues，problems at home-can interrupt our attention和前面的不定冠詞a可知使用名詞的單數(shù)形式．　
83．regulating/adjusting，由句子Go for a short walk or take a deep breath，where you breathe in deeply，count to five slowly，hold it and breathe out very slowly可知通過(guò)調(diào)整呼吸來(lái)保持注意力．
84．Plan/Schedule/Arrange/Structure，由句子Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors．可知保持注意力要有效地計(jì)劃時(shí)間．　
85．first，根據(jù)句子Choosing three or four things as your priority （優(yōu)先） for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus 可知一天要首先完成這三四件事．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在做表格閱讀時(shí)，首先需要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次要學(xué)會(huì)帶著問(wèn)題到文中相應(yīng)的地方，通過(guò)細(xì)節(jié)閱讀來(lái)尋找或概括答案；最后理清作者的寫(xiě)作思路也非常重要；做此類(lèi)題時(shí)，要多注意一些關(guān)鍵詞的提取，以及結(jié)構(gòu)上的搭配．
