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.
【小题1】 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
1.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.【小题2】
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).You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
【小题3】 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
3.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.Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail.【小题4】 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
4. 【小题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.
When you're working, work.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.If you have an office door, close it. |
| D.If you work like this, you'll usually save time. |
F.I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns—and, therefore, temporary results. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are five ways to make that happen.
Take exercise. 【小题1】 . Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all help you look and feel good and keep weight off.
【小题2】 One reason people get less exercise these days is that they spend too much time watching TV, looking at the computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.
Watch out for unhealthy drinks. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. 【小题3】
Eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals. 【小题4】 And when you fill up on friuts and vegetables, you’re less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.
【小题5】 People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.
| A.Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscles. |
| B.So go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda. |
| C.They’ve also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. |
| D.Don’t skip breakfast. |
F. It is bad for your eyes to spend too much time watching TV.
G. Reduce screen time.
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
| A. Tricks of dishonest advertisers |
| B. Types of advertisement readers |
| C. Customers’ opinions on advertisers |
| D. Functions of advertising |
| AB. Interactions between the advertisers and the customers |
| AC. Benefits one may get from reading honest advertisements. |
When you see a clever advertisement in a newspaper, do you say to yourself, “Ah, that’s good. I’d like to have one of these”? Or do you say, “What lies are they telling this time? It can’t be very good or they wouldn’t have to advertise it so cleverly”? Both of these people exist: the fist are optimists; the second pessimists and realists.
【小题2】
Advertisements can be extremely useful if they are honest: if, let us say, you have broken you pen and you want to buy another, the first thing to do is to look at as many advertisements for pens as you can find. That will help you to choose the model, color and price that suits you. Advertisements save a lot of time and trouble in a quick and simple way. If the advertisements are true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy from the same firm nest time and advise their friends and acquaintances to do the same.
【小题3】
Some advertisers hope to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them. They know that no customers will buy from them a second time or recommend the products to their friends. Other advertisers make claims for their products which they know perfectly well to be incapable of verification, like advertising that a certain toothpaste contains a particular substance knowing that this substance is in fact neither beneficial or harmful to the teeth. Such advertisements do not tell downright lies, but their advertising is deliberately misleading.
【小题4】
If there was no advertising, fewer goods would be sold, so the cost of each article would be higher. The more you advertise, the more cheaply you can afford to sell your products. Advertising also encourages makers to improve their goods continually. One manufacturer of soap-power claims that his products does not harm housewives’ hands, and quotes the opinions of prominent doctors to prove this. All other soap-powder manufacturers are forced to make their products harmless too.
【小题5】
As advertisers become more and more expert at their work, they appeal to all the human emotions in the effort to increase sales: love of a bargain, fear of ill health, the desire to show off and many others. But more and more customers are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertising. This is producing a deliberately modest advertisement that is intended to disarm the customers’ suspicions by giving an impression of absolute sincerity, or even of deliberate understatement.
