36、ugh time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “Thats irrelevant(无关的). Whats important is the quality of your work.”9If you analyze the matter, you can

37、 identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course，the matter of “time” ， which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, its not how hard one works but the quality of the product thats important.That led me to a new idea: th

38、e quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office：“Dont work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you cant get more time, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to

39、get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”， the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you

40、use in study，chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.1From the passage, we know that the author is probably _Aa poet Ban educator Ca novelist Dan engineer2What does the underlined sentence “You have as much ti

41、me as the president.”mean?AThere are twentyfour hours in the day for everyone.BThe president always has more time than students.10CStudents dont have enough time to do all their schoolwork.DStudents can get everything done well as the president.3According to the passage, working smarter is to _Awork

42、 harder and harder Bget your time fixedCget more time Dimprove the quality of the work【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。人们经常抱怨时间不够用，但每个人每天所拥有的时间是相同的。仅仅工作努力还不够，最重要的是提高工作质量。对于聪明的学生而言，这就需要改善学习技巧，主要是阅读和写作技巧。1解析：选 B。推理判断题。根据第一段中“My students”可推知，作者是一名教师。故选 B项，意为“教育工作者” 。A 项意为“诗人” ；C 项意为“小说家” ；D 项意为“工程师” ，都不符合作者身份。2解析：选 A。句

43、意理解题。阅读第一段和第二段可知，学生们抱怨时间不够，作业完成不了。作者认为，时间不够不是做不完作业的理由，因为学生和总统一样，每天都有 24小时的时间，但总统每天要处理很多事。由此可知，答案为 A项。3解析：选 D。推理判断题。根据第六段第一句“If you cant get more time，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work.”可知，我们不能获得更多时间，所以唯一能做的就是提高工作质量。由此可知，明智地工作就是提高工作质量。故选 D项。E(2017河南开封一模)Gwendolyn Brooks was the
