 To prove that all time has value,a manager at a large corporation in the Northeast asked everyone who attended a meeting to " punch in"(打卡) .At the end of the meeting he calculated the total price of the meeting in manhours and changed these into dollars by prorating (按比例分配) each staffer's salary. Indeed,for each $10,000 you make annually,a single hour is worth $5. That's why the most successful people are those who've mastered the timesaving strategies described here. Stay Focused All top performers establish priorities (优先做的事) .Helen Gurley Brown,editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan,always keeps an issue of the magazine on her desk. Whenever she attempts to do something that doesn't contribute to the magazine's success,she glances at that issue,and it gets her back on track.

One way to order your priorities is to create a "to do" list. Every evening,write down the top 20        tasks to be done the next day,and review the list several times throughout the day. The best way to accomplish what's on the list is to give each task a specific time limit. Pattern of Success Most people who want to get ahead spend useful time writing personal notes of gratitude,sympathy and congratulations. But when it comes to routine memos (备忘录) ,letters,fact sheets and forms,they save a lot of time by relying on previously written material.

Susan Taylor,editor-in-chief of Essence,has created some 40        form letters for everything. Stored on her computer,the letters can be called up,copied and customized by changing a few key words. Taylor then often adds a handwritten greeting at the bottom as a personal touch. Telephone Tips Financier J. B. Fuqua has made a fortune putting deals together over the telephone. His most important strategy is to make notes before he places a call.

  To avoid playing telephone tag,return phone calls right away,because you're likely to catch the caller and your messages won't pile up. Leaving a detailed message on someone's voice mail prevents you from getting tied up in long conversations and will get you an answer more quickly. Do It Now Suzanne Caygill was a designer. To deal with all the demands of her schedule,she followed a rule; If she had a job to do,she did it immediately.

  California pet lover has founded an internet radio station designed to ease the lives of lonely dogs and cats around the world.

  Styled as " the radio station all pets prefer",DogCatRadio.com goes out live 17 hours each day from a van in the car park of a Los Angeles recording studio.

  DJs speak to pets directly,and ask " pet parents" to send in pictures.

  Founder Adrian Martinez,34 ,says the station aims to keep pets company while their "parents" head out to work.

  DogCatRadio's daily play list ranges from the soothing (抚慰) sounds of Irish singer Enya to Elvis Presley's classic anthem (圣歌) ,Hound Dog.

In between tracks,Mr. Martinez and his fellow DJs offer practical advice to pet owners,plus a liberal sprinkling (小雨) of the station's signature sound―barks and miaows.

  Mr. Martinez,an independent record producer,hopes that many of his audience will be listening in while at home alone,albeit (虽然,尽管) with a little help from their human friends.

  "My cat,Snickers,asked me to do it," Mr. Martinez told the New York Times. Faced with a nervous,restless cat at home one day,Mr.  Martinez discovered that Snickers calmed down almost as soon as he turned up the background music a little. "I wanted to do something for the pet community," he said.

  The station,which claims8,000 listeners each week through its website,currently makes no money.

  But the US pet industry is worth an estimated $35 bn (£ 19. 7bn) annually,and Mr. Martinez eventually hopes to attract advertising.

(   ) 5. The radio station was founded in order to         .

   A. help the owners of the pets

   B. ask people to love the animals

   C. comfort the lonely dogs and cats in America

   D. be the pets' company when they are left alone at home

(   ) 6. The underlined word "miaows" means         .

   A. the music from the radio

   B. the sounds made by cat

   C. the voice of the DJs at the station

   D. the Elvis Presley's classic anthem,Hound Dog

(   ) 7. Which of the following statements is true?

   A. Mr. Martinez loved his cat so much that he decided to set up a radio station for it.

   B. The radio station is located in a recording studio.

   C. Mr. Martinez happened to find that background music can calm down the cat.

   D. It is hard for people to understand the programmes of the station.

(   ) 8. What can you infer from the passage?

   A. Most of the audience are the "parents" of the pets.

   B. If you want to pick up the programme,you just need a radio.

   C. The market of the pet service in the US is large.

   D. The DJs can communicate with the pets directly.

 My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh,Beckham is so handsome,so cool,that I can't help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has!”

  Yeah,I 1       to some degree,though I sometimes do want to 2        them how much they know about Beckham,apart from his 3        and how much they know about football apart from 4        goals. It seems funny that we are 5        for things,with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6       ,but we all,my friends as well as I,consider this one of life's 7       .

  We need these pleasures to 8        our lives. But that doesn't 9        to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover."We should not judge anything from its 10       . We should all know,it is one's good 11        and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we'd better say 12        about Beckham's good looks.

  If we close our eyes,falling in deep 13       ,we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15        things,sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16        has blinded and misled us,and we will remain ignorant (无知的) 17       we realize that and make some changes.

  It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18        of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything,no matter how much it 19        us,we will finally prove how much we have 20        up,how much more sensible,mature,and intelligent we have become.
