My father was a selftaught mandolin (曼陀林) player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music,but if he heard a tune a few times,he could play it. 1       They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. There was a lot of drinking and cursing the day of his audition. 2       Dad would take out his mandolin and play for the family,occasionally. We three children would often sing along. Songs we sang including The Tennessee Waltz,Harbor Lights and Around Christmas Time,the wellknown rendition of Silver Bells. One of Dad's favorite hymns (圣歌) was The Old Rugged Cross. 3       And we would sing it with Dad when he would play and sing. Another song that was often shared in our house was a song that accompanied the Walt Disney series:Davey Crockett. Dad only had to hear the song twice before he learned it well enough to play it. King of the Wild Frontier was the favorite song for the family. He knew we enjoyed the song and the program. Then he would often take out the mandolin after the program was over. 4       I loved to sing,but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.

Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. I believe if he could give pleasure to others,he would,especially his family. He was always there,sacrificing his time and efforts to see that his family lived happily in their life. 5      

   A. We would like to listen and learn how to play the mandolin.

   B. We learned the words to the hymn when we were very young.

   C. He did not want to be around that type of environment.

   D. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.

   E. I did not realize what the love of a father was until Dad passed away.

   F. He was once a member of a small country music band.

   G. I could never get over how he could play the songs so well after only hearing them a few times.

父亲在点滴中渗透着他对我们的爱。跟很多人一样,多年后作者才意识到,父爱无边.

1. F后一句谈及乐队曾在哪些场合演奏。

2. C前一句谈及酗酒骂街,所以这就是他想摆脱这种环境的原因。

3. B 父亲弹奏,我们学歌词,跟着他一起唱。

4. G前一句说,"节目一完,他就会拿出曼陀林琴演奏",所以我永远在纳闷:他为何能仅仅听几遍乐曲就演奏得非常好。

5. D前面说:"如果他能把快乐奉献给别人,他从不吝啬,尤其是对他的家人。他总是那样,牺牲自己的时间和精力让家人生活得幸福。" 这一点只是在"我"成熟独立并有了自己的孩子后才体会得到

Imagine that your boss has asked you to prepare an important presentation for the next board meeting. You only have a few days to put it together,your workload is already high,and you have many other urgent tasks on your To-Do List. Because of this,you're anxious,you can't concentrate,and everything seems to distract you. 1       The Urgent/Important Principle helps you quickly identify the activities that you should focus on,as well as the ones you should ignore.

1. Important and Urgent There are two distinct types of urgent and important activities:ones that you could not have foreseen,and others that you've left until the last minute. 2       However,you can't always predict or avoid some issues and crises. Here,the best approach is to leave some time in your schedule to handle unexpected issues and unplanned important activities.

2. Important but Not Urgent These are the activities that help you achieve your personal and professional goals,and complete important work.

Make sure that you have plenty of time to do these things properly,so that they will not become urgent. 3      

3. Not Important but Urgent Urgent but not important tasks are things that prevent you from achieving your goals. Ask yourself whether you can reschedule or delegate (委派任务) them.

4          Sometimes it's appropriate to say "no" to people politely,or to encourage them to solve the problem themselves.

Alternatively,try to have time slots when you are available,so that people know they can speak with you then.

4. Not Important and Not Urgent

 5       You can simply ignore or cancel many of them. However,some may be activities that other people want you to do,even though they don't contribute to your own desired outcomes. Again,say "no" politely,if you can,and explain why you cannot do it.

Schedule your tasks and activities based on their importance and urgency. When you use this principle to prioritize your time,you can deal with truly urgent issues,at the same time working towards important,longerterm goals.

   A. This will maximize your chances of keeping on track.

   B. You can eliminate lastminute activities by planning ahead.

   C. A common source of such activities is other people.

   D. These activities are just distractions (分散精力的事情) 一avoid them if possible.

   E. To use this principle,list all of the activities and projects that you feel you have to do.

   F. So,how can you beat this stress,and deliver the things that are essential to doing a good job?

   G. Also,remember to leave enough time in your schedule to deal with unforeseen problems.
