【题目】Organizing Your Time

You can set a budget(预算) 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(塞满) as much as you can into each day.

【解析】试题分析：本文讲述你能为金钱做出预算，同理你也可以为时间做出预算以使个人时间最大化：制定并严格执行睡眠计划、计划好每天要做的任务、偶尔户外旅行一下。

【1】B分析推理题。根据前句Set a sleep schedule制定一个睡眠计划，可知后句应是要坚持这个睡眠计划，甚至周末都要如此，故选B

【2】E分析推理题。首先这一段都是与睡眠有关，其次根据前句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．确保上床时间到起床时间比你实际所需要的睡眠时间多一小时，后文应叙述为何这样做，即：这样你就不用担心是否会按时睡着了，故选E

【3】G分析推理题。前文说.Add in time for anything else you do most days，such as homework，exercise，or an active hobby.要为你大部分日子都做的事腾出时间，如作业、锻炼、爱好等，可知后为应是对这些事件要按对自己有利的合理顺序了，故选G

【4】C分析推理题。根据后文For example，you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip例如你也许计划去，或下班回家的中途突然想去旅行，可知这一段都是关于旅行，空格处应为尝试将旅行结合起来来最大化你的自由时间，故选C

【5】A分析推理题。根据前句an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult不定期的工作表会使得这种预算很困难，可知后句通常是转折句，即然而，你仍旧每天可以以相同的顺序围绕着你的工作表工作，故选A
