【题目】Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

1But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m. try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.2

Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 3If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.4

5

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 4 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

【题目】 Though sometimes we may lose our ability to do something we love, passions don’t have to end. Suzelle Poole of Dallas, Texas is living proof of that. The 79-year-old has been dancing for more than seven decades.

Suzelle started ballet when she was just 7 years old, and her devotion only grew stronger as her talent increased in the following years. In fact, Suzelle was so talented that she went to perform all around the world! Like most professional ballerinas (芭蕾舞女),Suzelle expected a short-lived career. “When I was about 26,1 knew I only had a few years left,”she said. It’s simply the nature of the art form because the movements are so hard on people’s bodies. But Suzelle’s body didn’t wear out at 26 — or even 56! At one point, she broke her arm but she was dancing again by the following week.

Nowadays she focuses on teaching the next generation of ballerinas at the Royale Ballet Dance Academy, where she and her students regularly perform for senior residents in assisted living facilities.

Suzelle has become such an inspiration that CBS News reporter Steve Hartman and his 5-year-old daughter Meryl recently traveled to Dallas to interview her. Steve’s little girl couldn’t wait to meet and dance with the woman she wants to become.

During the interview, Suzelle shared a piece of wisdom: “Ballet helps everything,” she said. “If you’re not feeling very well, you go to a ballet class, and you feel better after.” Meryl nodded knowingly. She also added, “Ballet could always cheer me up whenever I feel depressed.”

It’s no wonder Suzelle has no plans to hang up her pointed shoes. Why would she give up something that brings her so much joy?

1Why did Suzelle at her 26 think her career would end soon?

A.The nature of the body didn’t allow lasting performance.

B.The audience didn’t like her performance.

C.She injured her arm in a training course.

D.She had to look after her family.

2Why did Steve Hartman take his daughter Meryl to meet Suzelle?

A.To help Meryl with her problems.

B.To make Meryl experience a reporter’s work.

C.To inspire Meryl to pursue her dancing dream.

D.To realise Meryl’s dream of dancing with famous people.

3In Suzelle’s opinion, ballet dance ___________.

A.benefits people’s mental health

B.should be taught at primary school

C.is less attractive to the young

D.raises people’s interest in art

4What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Suzelle will go to find other joy of life.

B.Suzelle will carry on her ballet career.

C.Suzelle will put away her ballet shoes.

D.Suzelle will devote herself to art teaching.
