山西省长治二中2018-2019学年高二上学期英语第一次月考试卷

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    It's an unquestioned truth of modern life that we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally do everything we want. But this idea has been completely backward. We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.

    Do we really have no time? “I don' t have time" often means” It's not a priority(优先事项)". Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time; Actually it's a matter of choice.

    How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into the next year's performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on next year.

    Scientists find the really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call the "low opportunity cost" time. Most of us do not sit there on Friday afternoon saying, "I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now." But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time on Friday afternoon, and make a list of three-category priorities: careers, relationships and self.

    It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in time we've got.

A. it's that we are too busy with it.

B. it's that we don't want to do it.

C. When do we plan our priorities?

D. Make sure there's time for the important things.

E. We don't build the lives we want by saving time.

F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.

G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.
