建议用时：55分钟 Ⅰ.完形填空 [2015·甘肃兰州实战演练]Many students often say that they don't have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My __1__ is often brief, “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about __2__ twenty four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an __3__ explanation of __4__ something done. __5__ in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors __6__ saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That's irrelevant (无关紧要的). __7__ is important is the __8__ of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the trick (诀窍) of “__9__”， and I have come to some __10__—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have. If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is，__11__， the matter of “time”， which we can think of __12__. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it's not how hard one works __13__ the quality of the product that's important. That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That __14__ is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: “Don't work harder.__15__.” There is a lot of sense in that idea. If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. |
