【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了高度成功的学生的习惯。

1.1】E前句说：相反，定时休息。所以下一句应该在说为什么要定时休息。Taking breaks will make you energetic again and refresh your mind定时休息将会使你再次充满精力，刷新你的头脑。从这里可知选E。

2.2】D根据下文所说：Top students don’t just randomly(随意地) sit down and complete work. They actually plan what they are going to do. They actually plan the time they will study and they set goals for what will be achieved.优秀的学生不会随意地坐下来完成工作。实际上他们计划了他们将要做什么。他们实际上计划了他们学习时间和制定了要实现的目标。Set a plan and, set a goal and stick to it制定计划，目标并坚持它。因此这一段的小标题应选D。

3.3】C根据上一句Set a plan and, set a goal and stick to it, which create a routine and a routine is the first step towards developing a habit.制定计划，制定目标并坚持它，这会创造一个惯例，一个惯例就是朝着发展一个习惯的第一步。所以最后一句的总结应该是：积极肯定的习惯决定未来的成功。从这里可知选C。

4.4】B根据前面提到Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence.我们很多人喜欢做容易的事情来增强自信。接着说your batteries will be low when it comes the time to deal with the hard part.当谈到处理艰难部分的时候，你的精力将会降低。So what happens then?所以接下来什么会发生？后面在说We all do it. We really shouldn’t, though.我们都在那样做，然而我们不应该。所以此空表达的意思应是：你变得厌烦和不耐烦，只是要放弃。故选B。

5.5】F根据这段中的Just turn them off for an hour; we promise the world will still be there when you log back in. Don’t text your friends; don’t chat while doing memory activities; don’t make phone calls; just focus on what you're doing.只是关掉一个小时；当你重新登录我们许诺世界将仍然在哪里。不要给你的朋友发短信；在做记忆活动时不要聊天；不要打电话；只是集中精力你正在做的事情。所以这里可知标题应是“关掉社交网址并关掉电话”。故选F
