Ive learned to run like no one is watching.So if you see me at race, and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling(蹒跚)

41、the weekend, about news events and American idioms.Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words.

48、0分） Even when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. There are 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 coul

49、d.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 or any unproductive distractions. Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and

50、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 ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited

51、, 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 cancell

52、ing 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 insanely busy,

53、 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 by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time,

54、 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.1、If someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.Aa schedule without gapsBbrea

55、ks and distractionsCthe limited timeDthe limited energy2、According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.Awork without any restBfocus on many things at a timeCfind some more time in a dayDdo some exercise regularly3、After a few weeks off, what was the change of the wri
