12．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．
（46）FBut 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 7：30a．m．，try getting up at 7：00a．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．（47）G
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．
（48）DThe 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．（49）CWearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．
4．（50）A
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 25hours long．
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．
19．文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处错误．每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改．增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在下面写出该加的词．删除：把多余的词用斜线（/）划掉．修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词． 
 A well-dressed man entered into a famous jewelry shop．He explained that he wished to buy a necklace to his wife．He chose the nice black one that cost  5，000，pay for it and went away．Several days late，the man came again and said his wife liked the necklace too much that she wanted a new one like it．It had to be exact of the same size and quality．When the shop owner said he had no necklaces like the one the man has bought，the man advised the owner to advertise in the newspaper and offer  25，000 for such necklace．The owner did so．Then an old lady with the same necklace came and the shop owner paid him immediately．However，the rich man was never found again．
6．Perhaps you don't know that your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．
  Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．
  Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．
    Don't forget the clock-or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．
    Downsize the dishes，Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent．And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．
29．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？D
A．Eat quickly．
B．Play fast music．
C．Turn down the lights．
D．Use smaller spoons．
30．A home environment in blue can help peopleC．
A．digest food better             
B．burn more calories　　　　　　　
C．reduce food intake　         
D．regain their appetites
31．What can be a suitable title for the test？B

13．People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders，according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee．
Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning （断奶） in either"summer"light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or"winter"cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark．A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day．
Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle，while half switched to a summer schedule．The summer mice were similarly split．The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups，one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule，one of which joined the winter group，and one of which joined the summer group．
After 28 days，it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter．But among the winterborn mice，those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule，while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half，which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks．
The finding is the first of its kind in mammals，and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression，schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder．
"We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，"said study researcher McMahon．"If the mechanism （机制） similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans，the n it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders，but also have a more general effect on personality．"

10．It was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China．Nowadays，though，it's quite common to become your own boss．Let's say you have an idea．Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics．Above all，you need a business plan．It sets out what you'll sell and how much everything will cost．Most busin esses that fail didn't have this．If you need to borrow money at the start，banks will ask for a detailed plan．
The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps：product，place，price and promotion．All these should be important for your starting  your own business．

Your product must have something unique．What makes it special compared to other similar products？If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new，don't expect people to show much interest．You can research your product．For food，let people try it for free．For toys，let a few children play with them to see if they like them．
□Place
There's n o point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall．Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell．W here do they usually go shopping？When looking at possible places，spend the day there．See how many people pass by．Also，are there other shops nearby selling similar products？If so，how can you be better than them？
□Price
Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product．As a general rule，your price will be double the cost．After all，you're also paying for rent，staff and you need to eat too!
□Promotion
