gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.why arent you completely efficient? its because time isnt the limiting factor. if it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks. instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally slow down on tasks throughout the day.the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.you might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. the reason its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.i first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. i was very busy, but at that time i still exercised regularly. i had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and i still found time to exercise. however, after a few weeks off, due to illness, i stopped exercising. i was not busy, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. despite this free time, i found it hard to find time to exercise. it seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. how can i explain this odd experience? i believe you have known it. 60. if someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _. a. a schedule without gaps b. breaks and distractionsc. the limited time d. the limited energy61. according to para.4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.a. work without any rest b. focus on many things at a timec. find some more time in a day d. do some exercise regularly62. the writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.a. prove what the real limiting factor is b. show us how busily he needs to workc. explain how important a healthy body is d. tell us what an odd experience he has63. what is the best title of the passage?a. are you really lack of time? b. how can you work efficiently?c. what makes your energy limited? d. when should you do exercise? cskating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic, there s nothing like it. follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time stand straightthe first thing that you need to do is, stand straight. if you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees. dont worry; this happens to allconfidence is what you needthe most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. how can you achieve this? by practice. just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slope every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort. while going backwards, just get used to the feeling of moving backwards. one of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance, then scissor(做剪式运动) your skates. keep practicing this till you are confident about it.maintain speedconfident now? great! now the next step is to maintain your speedwhile rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling（滑浆）, that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke（滑动）. now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process. make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling. now, try the same thing using the other foot. again keep doing this till you are confident enoughincrease your speed nowonce you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed. try some of your own tricks now. scull with either foot or with both at the same timescull and be awarewhile you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other. you can do that simultaneously（同时，一起）with both feet. concentrate on what you are doing but dont get so involved that you dont see where you are going. if you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone64. which is the right order of ice - skating backwards?a. increasing your speed b. being able to scull with one footc. being about to stand straight d. trying some different tricksa. cadb b. cbda c. acbd d. cbad65. in order to keep balance when skating backwards you should _.a. skate in a scissor gesture b. use both your feet to scullc. skate forward first and then backwardd. put most of your weight on the skate with which you are sculling66. in the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _.a. skating and keeping cautious are both importantb. one must be brave to learn to ice - skate backwards c. its difficult to concentrate when ice - skating backwardsd. its a common thing to hit someone when ice - skating backwards67. the purpose of the text is _.a. to compare different ways of ice - skating backwardsb. to introduce the culture of ice - skating backwardsc. to explain advantages of ice - skating backwardsd. to offer some advice on ice - skating backwardsdto extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. they must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. the law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers. since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. if the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. the cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. this is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. a blanket may be used do cover a small fire.a third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.the method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. fires have been grouped in three classes. fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called class a fires. these materials usually help keep the fire on. such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.68. if a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?a. sand b. water c. a blanket. d. an extinguisher.69. to cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of_ .a. separating the fire b. reducing the heatc. removing the fuel d. cutting off the oxygen70. in choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about_ .a. when it breaks out b. how it comes aboutc. what kind it is d. where it takes place71. what would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?a. another class of fires b. another type of extinguishersc. how fires break out. d. how fires can be prevented.eolaf stapledon wrote a book called first and last men，in which he looked millions of years ahead. he told of different men and of strange civilisations（文明），broken up by long “dark ages” in between. in his view，what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the first men. in 2，000 million years from now there will be the eighteenth or last men. however，most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. but the next hundred？the next thousand？the next million？thats much more difficult. when men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago，how could they even begin to picture modern life？yet to men of 50,000 years from now，we may seem as primitive（原始的）in our ideas as the stone-age hunters do to us. perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels，or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. these words，which i have just made up，have to stand for things and ideas that we simply cant think of.so why bother even to try imagining life far in the future？here are two reasons. first，unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history，we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. if we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy（贪婪）or quarrelsome，our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.second，by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future，we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. for example，if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming，we can think of trying it now. so set your imagination free when you think about the future.72. a particular mention made of stapledons book in the opening paragraph _.a. serves as a description of human history b. serves as an introduction to the discussionc. shows a disagreement of views d. shows the popularity of the book73. the text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that_ .a. human history is extremely longb. life has changed a great dealc. it is useless to plan for t
