Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Are you expecting better results in your life? Do you want to achieve more in your career and relationships? __1__ Here I'd like to share something you should change in your life to get what you want.
Change your priorities (优先顺序)
This is important if you want to live a balanced life. Many people are successful in their career but don't have good relationships with their companions or families because of wrong priorities. They put things like money and reputation above their relationships. Don't let it happen to you. __2__ Change your motivation
Motivation is the reason why we do things. __3__ You can significantly change the way you do things simply by changing your motivation.
The way to change your motivation is to upgrade your motivation to higher levels. For example, if your motivation to work is money, you can upgrade it to helping others.
Change your habits
Is there any bad habit that holds you back? __4__ For instance, perhaps you have the habit of rising late. But — since many people agree that early morning is the most productive time — that means that you lose the most productive time of the day. You can get better results simply by replacing the old habit with a new habit of rising early.
__5__ Your inputs determine your outputs. There is no way you can get high-quality outputs if you feed your mind with low-quality inputs. So watch your inputs carefully. What programs do you watch on TV? What books, magazines, or blogs do you read? Get rid of the low-quality inputs and
replace them with high-quality ones.
A.Change your inputs B.Change your outputs
C.It gives us the power to move and work. D.If so, we must change the way we do things. E.You should put relationships as your top priority.
F.If the answer is yes, then you should replace it with a good one.
G.Take one new habit you want to build and do it every day for at least 30 days.
语篇解读:文章就促进事业和人际关系的发展提出了几点建议,认为人们应当在生活中做出适当的改变。
1.选D 根据设空前的问句以及设空后的“share something you should change”可知,D项符合语境,If so承接了前句的问题,又引出了后文的should change。
2.选E 根据“Change your priorities(优先顺序)”标题中的priorities和这一标题下内容的中心词relationships及设空前的“They put things like money and reputation above their relationships. Don't let it happen to you.”可知,本段建议改变你的优先顺序,不要让金钱和名誉之类的事情凌驾于与家人和朋友的关系之上,故E项符合语境。
3.选C 根据“Change your motivation”标题中的motivation可知,这一标题下的内容强调内在动力,故C项“它赋予你前进和工作的力量”符合语境。
4.选F 根据小标题“Change your habits”及设空前的“Is there any bad habit that holds you back?”可知,这一标题下的内容强调坏习惯的改正,由此可知,F项符合语境,“If the answer is yes”恰好回答了前句的问题。
5.选A 本空为最后一段的小标题,观察前面的小标题格式可知,A、B两项符合;根据本段中的“So watch your inputs carefully.”及“Get rid of the low-quality inputs and replace them with high-quality ones.”可知,本段强调的是inputs,故选A项。
