2、d subheading(1-5). There are two extra examples which you do not need to use. Lisa McGonagle has a husband, three kids and a public relations business in Boston. Her hectic life speaks volumes about what time management means to her. As she puts it: “I“m running all the time. “ The same may apply to

3、 you. And that makes time management central to the health and growth of your life, profession and business. Truth should be known: Not everyone has a genuine handle on the effective use of time. So you“re not alone. Here are some suggestions that may help you get time on your side: 【C1】Don“t overbo

4、ok. This may seem unusual to people who try to crowbar as much as possible into every workday. The problem is: Things rarely go according to a prearranged agenda. That means a lot of time falling through the cracks chasing down appointments, unreturned phone calls and other items that simply aren“t

5、going to happen. 【C2】Prioritize ruthlessly. The secret to booking your time effectively boils down to knowing what“ s important and what can wait. But it“s critical to use the sharpest knife possible in trimming the essential from the secondary. 【C3】Learn how to say no. One of the biggest land mines

6、 to effective time management is recognizing you don“t have to agree to everything and with everyone. Use your priority criteria to identify requests that simply aren“t worth your time. 【C4】Organize. Bringing your time into line isn“t just a matter of scheduling. The mechanics of how you operate can

7、 be every bit as important. That means organizing most every element to allow as smooth a workflow as possible. 【C5】Use technology. Although personal habits and practices can do wonders for time management, don“t overlook technology as yet another weapon to make the most effective use of your workda

8、y. A“Don“t try to plan on doing too many things,“ says McGonagle. “Assume that only 50% of the things you plan on doing today will actually get done. If you don“t, you“ll just waste valuable time trying to find out why things didn“t happen. “ B“Be grateful for what goes right and learn from your mis

9、takes,“ says Kurth. “Act as if they were scenes in a movie that you get to retake. “ CFor instance, Microsoft Business Contact Manager lets you organize a wide array of customer and product particulars, allowing quick and easy access. “Sticky notes are one of the worst things in the world,“ says McG

10、onagle. “You should live by your database. That way, nothing is ever forgotten. “ D“I“ve learned that saying no to one thing opens the door to saying yes to something else,“ says Kurth. “That can mean anything from cleaning my desk to getting a good night“s sleep. “ EPart of effective time managemen

11、t is knowing when to shut things down. Turning off a cell phone or other wireless means of communication establishes boundaries. In short, it helps you balance your personal and professional time. F“Learn to ask questions that help you determine the level of urgency,“ says Krista Kurth, co-author of

12、 “Running on Plenty at Work“. “Negotiate longer lead times whenever you can and don“t give into the “instant-and-immediate answer“ syndrome. Treating everything as top priority is draining and depleting. “ G“Everything in your business should be set up using logical systems so anyone needing anythin

15、xes. AFor those couples who have children, building a family and “being“ a family requires communicating well. Otherwise, they are just a group of people sharing the same residence. Many legally defined families do not or cannot communicate, and end up dysfunctional. Is it any wonder? No group can f

16、unction effectively as a unit without its members communicating with each other. BOver ten millions Americans are addicted to alcohol. Most of them live in a constant state of severe emotional distress. Most of them are involved in a steady uphill battle to maintain their families, friends and jobs.

17、 Most of them are destroying their minds and bodies. Most of them have children. CHowever, functional families now seem to be the exception rather than the rule. Divorce, drugs, violence or apathy tears too many families apart. In fact, some sources suggest that nearly every family has at least one

18、dysfunction “in the closet“. The unavoidable truth, however, is that when families break up, individuals are often forced to cope with the complexities of life on their own, quickly discovering how difficult success is in life without the stable foundation of a family. DDespite all its power and str

19、ength, the family unit remains one of the most vulnerable human connections. In America, where over 50% of marriages with children end in divorce, where threats to human safety such as drugs and gangs seem to be everywhere, the family is struggling to function as a refuge. It is quite literally unde

20、r attack by a society that seems to tempt members of the family to go down other paths. “Family values“ is not just another slogan. It is probably the major concern of American society. EThe idea is not new, but it deserves repeating: “Families are the building blocks of society.“ It would therefore

21、 come as no surprise when political, civic and religious leaders adamantly promote “family values. “ They know that families who stick together and function as a unit form the foundation of the larger community. They also realize that productive members of society tend to come from strong, intact, “

22、functional“ families. Moreover, we all know the important role family plays in building strength, confidence and stability in each of its members. FImproving communications within the family is the best way to turn around problems. Building family communications is the classic “win/win“ situation: e

23、very member of the family is more secure with one another and ready to deal with the world outside. In addition, society itself improves with more family units achieving stability. GPerhaps the greatest problem leading to family dysfunction and marital break-up involves communicating honestly, openl

24、y and lovingly before having children. The couple gets to know one another better and establishes a mature, trusting relationship that will improve after children are born. However, this is a rare case. Most often, partners withhold vital information(fail to reveal feelings about certain issues or m

25、atters, for example)and are virtual strangers to each other. Of course, this is a most unpromising start to communication within the family. Common knowledge argues that couples should never stay together “for the sake of the children“, but a communicationally dysfunctional couple should not even co

For Questions 1-5, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box. The first and the la

27、st paragraphs have been placed for you in Boxes. AThe problems faced by missing and runaway children and their families have received national attention, resulting in a network of programs and services. Police offer the primary service in the recovery of children. Parents or other family members sho

28、uld report all children believed missing or runaway immediately to police. Swift action is important to a child“s safety and recovery. BRunaways usually leave home voluntarily and tend to be teenagers. There are many reasons why children run away from home. Most runaways feel misunderstood, unloved

29、or angry with their parents. They find life at home unbearable and believe that living elsewhere will be better. Some runaways actually are “thrown out“ of their homes. Parents of these “throw away“ children often do not want the financial burden of childrearing or cannot handle difficult adolescent

30、 behaviors. CFamilies of missing and runaway children face many problems. Parents of missing children feel guilty or responsible for their child“s abduction. They also can suffer from fear and anxiety about what may happen to their missing child. Parents of runaway children also may experience the s

31、ame or similar concerns. Not knowing the whereabouts or condition of a child can create stress for all family members. DPrevention is the best strategy for keeping children from the ranks of the missing and runaway. Understanding what to do to recover missing and runaway children also is essential.

32、EOther programs and services also are available. Many businesses and organizations display pictures of missing children. “ Hotlines“ provide a means for runaway children to communicate with their families. “Safe houses“ and shelters are available to runaways. Several programs provide free rides to r

33、unaways who wish to return home. The growing national concern about missing and runaway children mirrors the seriousness of the problem. Unfortunately, however, the number of missing and runaway children continues to rise. FBetween two and three million American children are missing or run away each

34、 year. Around three-quarters of a million are classified “missing children“ and about two million are “runaways“. The precise number of American children in these two categories is unknown. Some missing children turn out to be runaways and some runaways are missing children. Parents do not always re

35、port their runaway children. GMissing children are lost or victims of abduction. They tend to be younger than runaways, usually under 14 years of age. Strangers kidnap less than 20% of these children. Family members, most often the non-custodial parent, abduct the majority of missing children. Separ

36、ated or divorced parents who do not have legal custody may “steal“ their own children. Children who are the victims of abduction, either by strangers or by family members, are likely to suffer emotional damage because of the experience.

37、ng to read a list of headings and a text about some tips for getting work/life in balance. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph(1-5). There are two extra headings which you do not need to use. ALearn to Better Manage Your Time BFind a New Job CShare the Load

38、 DSet Priorities ENegotiate a Change with Your Current Employer FDon“t Sweat the Small Stuff GSlow Down Here are some tips to help you achieve a better balance in your life. Take a moment to read and reflect on these tipsand then get your life in balance! 1 Progressive employers recognize the value

39、of good employees, and many are willing to find ways to help current employees deal with short-term or permanent changes caused by family situations. The changes can include flextime, job-sharing, telecommuting, or part-time employment. Your first step is to research your employer“s policies and met

40、hods of handling previous requests. Then go to your boss armed with information and a plan that shows how you will be an even more valuable and productive employee if you can modify your current work situation. Find a New Career. Some careers are simply more stressful and time-consuming than others.

41、 If you need more time for yourself or your family, now may be the time to explore careers that are less stressful and more flexible. 2 Rather than a career change, perhaps you simply need to take a less stressful job within your chosen career. This change may involve working with your current emplo

42、yer to identify a new position, it may involve a full job-search, or it may involve temping or becoming a consultant or starting a freelancing or other home-based business. 3 Life is simply too short, so don“t let things pass you in a blur. Take steps to stop and enjoy the things and people around y

43、ou. Schedule more time between meetings; don“t make plans for every evening or weekend, and find some ways to distance yourself from the things that are causing you the most stress. 4 Even though we may sometimes feel we“re the only ones capable of doing something, it“s usually not the case. Get you

44、r partner or other family members to help you with all your personal/family responsibilities. Taking care of the household, children, or parents should not be the responsibility of just one person. 5 It“s simpler said than done, but learn to let things go once in a while. So what if the dishes don“t

45、 get washed everyday or that the house doesn“t get vacuumed every week. Learn to recognize the things that don“t really have much impact in your life and allow yourself to let them goand then not beat yourself up for doing so. Explore Your Options. Get Help. If you are feeling overwhelmed with your

46、family responsibilities, please get help if you can afford it. Find a sitter for your children, explore options for aging parents, and seek counseling for yourself. In many cases, you have options, but you need to take the time to find them. Simplify. It seems human nature for just about everyone to

47、 take on too many tasks and responsibilities, to try to do too much, and to own too much. Find a way to simplify your life. Change your lifestyle. Learn to say no to requests for help. Get rid of the clutter and baggage in your houseand your life. In the end, the key word is balance. You need to fin

48、d the right balance that works for you. Celebrate your successes and don“t dwell on your failures. Life is a process, and so is striving for balance in your life.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_考研英语（阅读）-试卷 46答案解析(总分：60.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：6，分数：60.00)1.Section II Reading Comprehension（分数：1
