9.You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive,and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn't check your email first in the morning.While this advice is good and well-documented,there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well.(71)E
1.Work when there is a distraction(分心) around
Your environment doesn't have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done.Let's say that you are working from home and you have kids.Let's also assume that you don't have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work.Naturally,you could decide to do work during the quiet hours.(72)D.
2.Drink coffee before taking a nap(小憩)
(73)F Then take a caffeine nap.Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one's personal productivity.Drink a cup of coffee,take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed.
3.(73)B
It's so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity.I'm talking about trains and when I travel alone,I look forward to getting work done there.In fact,I have done a lot of work during my trips when I'm moving from one place to another.
4.Close the curtains(窗帘)
Closing the curtains can improve your productivity.I might do some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me.Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window (and the people and moving cars as well),the movement might catch my attention,so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains.(75)A

A.Focus on one thing at a time.
B.Work in a train.
C.Have a mobile Internet access with you.
D.Try these tips and see how they work for you.
E.But not all of the tasks have to be done then.
F.That way I can put all of my attention to my work.
G.Want to improve your afternoon productivity?
8.For most of us,interviewing is terrifying.You have to highlight(突出) your strengths; make your past a story for future success; and develop a connection with various interviewers-all while trying to decide if you would enjoy the company.(36)DHere are the top three tips:
1.Know your interviewers
Interviews are between people,not companies.And while people hire based on skills and knowledge,they also hire individuals with whom they feel a connection.To help make this connection,know who you will be interviewing with and understand their journey.(37)FBut,don't overdo this.
2.Practice your answers
This may sound like common sense,but know the key points you want to communicate. (38)EYou cannot predict the exact questions,but there are basics that all companies will want to know:what you've done in the past,what you hope to do in the future,and how you will add value at the company.So practice.Answer briefly.Don't be afraid of silence.(39)CIt shows you're thoughtful and a clear thinker.It's also important to ask questions if there are several ways to understand a question or if you're unsure-it shows you're listening.
3.Follow your passion
Only interview for positions that you're truly passionate about-you'll do your best work at these companies.You can show your passion in the questions you ask and the examples you provide.(40)BAt some points,the person interviewing you was sitting in your chair.Employees want to work alongside people that energize them and share their love for what they do.It's the hardest thing to fake and the easiest way to stand out.

A.Look for a job that inspires you.
B.Everyone loves to work with passionate people.
C.Think about your answers and provide clear responses.
D.Interviewing is all about selling yourself and success.
E.Before your interview,think about what they might ask you.
F.Find your connection points and bring them up naturally in the conversation.
G.The key is to show you worked through the challenge by finding a creative way  around it.

6.Dad had a green comb (梳子).He bought it when he married Mum.Every night,he would hand me his comb and say."Good girl,help Daddy clean it,OK?"
I was pleased to do it.At age five,this dull(无趣的) task brought me such joy.I would excitedly turn the tap (水龙头)on and brush the comb carefully.Satisfied that I'd done a good job.I would happily return the comb to Dad.He would smile affectionately (亲切地)at me and place the comb on his wallet.
Two years later.Dad started his own business,which wasn't doing so well.That was when things started to change.Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to.Mum and I became mad with him for placing our family in trouble.With time,an uncomfortable silence grew between us.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me and carefully placed his comb on his wallet.But this time,I noticed something different.Dad had aged.He had wrinkles(皱纹)next to his eyes when he smiled,yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before,the smile of a father who just wanted a good life for his family.
