later.bi am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. i take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things id rather not be doing. i get work done, but its not always the best i can do, or the best way i could spend my time.thats why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.being a quitter isnt being someone who gives up, who doesnt see important things through to the end. i desire to be the opposite of that. the quitter i want to be is someone who gets out when theres no value in what hes doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important.a friend of mine once told me, “i knew i was an adult when i could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.” strange though it sounds, we all tend to do this. we get involved in something, realize we dont want to be a part of it, but keep on going. we say “well, ive already invested (投入) so much time in this. i might as well stick it out.”i propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. if youre reading a book, and dont like it, stop reading. cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. isnt that a better use of your time?step back for a second. lets learn how to say “no” at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things wed like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing. saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. if we do both, well start to make sure that were spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. lets be quitters together.60. the author wants to be a quitter, because he _.a. hopes to improve his personality.b. wishes to have more time for relaxationc. has found it hard to do several things at one time.d. expects to make more efficient use of his time.61. in what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?a. when you feel tired and need a rest.b. when you know a task cannot be finished.c. when you realize what you are doing is not worth the time.d. when you meet with difficulties along the way in your life.62. if you stop reading a book you hate, the author might think that _.a. its pity that you have wasted so much time.b. you are wise to cut your losses.c. you should finish a book that you have started.d. you should regret choosing the wrong book.63. the message the author tries to convey is to _.a. create more value b. live your life to the fullestc. learn to say no d. stop doing many things at once.csandpiperlounge area (客厅) with colour tv/dvd and log fire one

was twelve, i made my first adventures in the deep. later i would learn how to dive, expanding my world of exploration many times over.perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when i was in high school and i wrote a letter to the famous scripps oceanographic institution, asking how i might learn more about the sea. a kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to scripps for a summer scholarship, which i received. during one of their courses that summ
