17.Five Ways to Work Smarter,Not HarderNo matter how hard we work,it seems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done.Rather than working longer,consider working smarter,not harder.Here are some ways to work smarter:
Make a careful plan.Just like every organization needs a business plan,an efficient worker needs a work plan.(36)G Schedule your tasks throughout the days,weeks,and months,but do it ahead of time.
Set your goals.As a part of your work plan,you should set clear and measurable goals.Goals should state which tasks are to be completed and when they get completed.Rather than setting firm deadlines,which can lead to pressure and stress,allow a period of time to reach goals.(37)C
(38)D Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it!If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks(emails,reports),one-on-one meetings,and processing data,set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks.
Delegate(授权)effectively.(39)F The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed,but is bad for their colleagues,by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.
Don't make work harder than it actually is.Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves.(40)B We feel like we should do more.Remember that tasks should be completed step by step.Focus on each step rather than on the entire project,which can help us cut down on feelings that we are"overwhelmed".
A.Stick to your plan.
B.We set unrealistic goals or standards for ourselves.
C.Also,take time to reward yourself for achieving a goal.
D.Organize your workday.
E.We cannot expect to complete the tasks quickly.
F.Learn which tasks can be delegated and which need personal attention.
G.It is a well-thought-out plan to help guide and direct work activities.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了五个可以让你更加聪明地工作的方法:制定一个周密的 工作计划;建立你的目标;安排你的工作日;坚持自己的日常工作计划;制定明确可衡量的目标,不要给自己太大压力.
解答 36.G.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"Make a careful plan.Just like every organization needs a business plan,an efficient worker needs a work plan"制定一个周密的计划,就像每个组织都需要一个商业计划一样,一个有效率的员工需要一个工作计划,前句提到工作需要计划,那么下句就是关于什么样的计划有用,故选G.
37.C.推理判断题.根据文章第三段"Set your goals.As a part of your work plan"制定你的目标,作为你工作计划的一部分,可推测后文应为实现一个目标的时候,花些时间奖励自己;故选C.
38.D.推理判断题.根据文章第四段"If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks(emails,reports),one-on-one meetings,and processing data,set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks"可知如果是一个典型的工作日,每天留出特定的时间来完成各种任务,可推测前文为安排你的工作日.故选D.
39.F.推理判断题.根据文章第五段"The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed,but is bad for their colleagues"如果谁试图去独自做一切,不仅使自己超载和过度紧张,而且影响同事.可推测前文应为学会哪些任务可以被授权,哪些需要个人关注;故选F.
40.B.推理判断题.根据文章第六段"Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves"可知不要对自己要求过高,工作过于努力,大部分压力都是我们自己产生的,可推测后文应为是我们为自己设定了不合实际的目标或标准.故选B.
点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.
