四川省成都市外国语学校2019届高三上学期英语开学考试试卷
Recently, I've been following a simple rule that is helping me crush procrastination(拖延症) and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time. There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule.
Part 1—If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now.
For example, washing your dishes immediately after your meal, tossing the laundry in the washing machine, taking out the garbage, sending that email, and so on.
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.
Part 2—When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.
Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not. But, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less.
It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals, but I beg to differ. The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life. I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started.
The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time, but each time. It's not about performance, it's about consistently taking action.
I can't guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you. Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds. Use this time to get one thing done. Go.
A. I call this little strategy the "2-Minute Rule".
B. And that's the purpose behind this little rule.
C. Here's what you need to know to stop procrastinating.
D. Once you start doing something, it's easier to continue doing it.
E. But, I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it.
F. The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing.
G. It's surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less.
A. What makes a quality eye contact? B. How does eye contact affect interaction? C. The requirement varies from culture to culture. D. Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry! E. Don't fake a smile, or people will doubt your sincerity. F. Always smile while interacting with others, especially with a new friend. G. Besides, it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings. |
Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways, from clothing to posture, and from talking style to body language. Below are several tips for you to begin with:
●Physical appearance matters. We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly. If it is a business setting, be aware of the dress rule or culture. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} A thumbs-up here does not mean the same elsewhere. So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
●{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
A fake (假的) smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression. It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris (虹膜).
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with. Consequently, they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Well, try to identify the color of the others' irises. Get it? That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave? Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
A. Also, it makes your posts more understandable to your readers. B. Welcome comments from your blog readers. C. There are benefits of daily blogging but if it becomes tiring, forget about it. D. Don't be scared of making mistakes. E. Mistakes can be reduced with the help of your readers. F. You need to read to be able to write fluently. G. Prepare an outline of your post. |
I've been keeping an English blog for many years. These practical tips have helped me over the course of my blogging.
●Read quality books, blogs, journals, etc. which are written in English. Blogging is not always about writing. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Reading also improves your English comprehension, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and writing.
●Practice helps, so continue writing. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Trying to make a perfect post (帖子) free from grammar and spelling mistakes is good but you're not making use of your time efficiently (有效地).
●{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Think about the main points you want to raise. I prepare an outline of my post and a list of the points I want to talk about. Doing this has helped me stay on track and focus on my main points. The outline and the list of points I want to write about serve as my guidelines when I'm writing.
●When writing, use simple words and sentences. Using simple sentences makes your job as a blogger easier. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Always remember this: The aim of your writing is to get your message across and the only way to become an effective writer is successfully conveying your message to your readers.
●Write your posts ahead of time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} To free yourself from the pressure of making a post on daily basis, which might affect your writing, consider making your posts ahead of time.
