完形填空

    One night in November, Itzhak Perlman gave a concert in a theatre. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that becoming a violinist is not a small 1 for him. He had to walk 2 the help of two walking sticks as a result of the disease he caught as a child. People sat 3 while he made his way to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went 4 Just as he finished the first few parts of the music, one of the strings(弦) on his violin 5 . We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead , he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then 6 the conductor (指挥) to begin again. The orchestra(管弦乐队) began and he played with such strong feeling and purity as they had never heard before.

    Of course, everyone knows that it is 7 for a violinist to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman didn't want to accept that.

    When he finished, there was a terrible 8 in the room. And then people rose and cheered from every corner of the theatre.

    Perlman was excited. He smiled and said, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to 9 how much music you can still make with what you have left."

    So, suppose our task in this fast-changing world is to make music. At first we should try our best with all that we have. And then, 10 it is no longer possible, try to play it with what we have left.

Living Like Franklin(像本杰明 · 富兰克林那样安排作息帮助我成为了一个更高效的人)

Benjamin Franklin, a writer, printer, politician, scientist and inventor, certainly knew how to get things done quickly. I recently learned about his daily schedule. And in an effort to be more productive, I have tried to follow it.

I started by getting up at 5 every morning. However, I always found myself tired during the day. After six days, I decided to rise at 6 a.m. and spend two hours — one hour less than Franklin — planning my day. Franklin's day didn't seem to include any exercise. I'm used to exercising in the morning, so I added "workout" to those two hours. At 8 a.m., I sit down to work.

Working continuously for four hours was a challenge. I realized that I was less able to fully focus on my work after 10 a.m. Slowly, I found a fix by dealing with harder tasks, like writing, in the first half of these four hours. I use the remaining two hours for easier tasks like researching.

Taking a two-hour break at noon to eat and read seemed wasteful to me. I rarely spent more than 30 minutes eating lunch. During the first week, I kept watching the clock to find out when I could return to work. Finally, I decided not to eat and read at my desk. Now, I'm used to taking a longer lunch break, and I've seen the benefits.

At 2 p.m., I start working non-stop for another four hours. Again, the order in which I complete my tasks is based on my energy level. At 6 p.m., I force myself to call it a day. I spend the rest of the day having supper and relaxing. I go to bed at 10 p.m.

Every morning, Franklin would ask himself, "What good shall I do today?" And he would end the day by asking himself, "____?" At first, I thought this was silly. But answering those two questions daily has helped me to make the most of my day.

I've learned a lot by following Franklin's schedule. I think I'm using my time more wisely now.
