It's 4：35 p．m． You feel like the bottom of a marathoner's shoe． Flat and sore． It's been a day of fighting anxiety， racing to meetings， staying awake， endless work， and trying to get stuff done．1.It causes you unwilling to stay for one more minute at the office． But how to improve your productivity of your entire work on the end of the day？

The biggest step in this end-of-day process is to respond to as many emails as possible in thirty minutes of time． The majority of emails hit your inbox during workday hours． By responding to 80% of these or so， you can effectively reduce tomorrow's workload．2.If you can get this done before tomorrow begins， you'll be ahead of the game．

If you use your computer or mobile phone for scheduling your day or taking notes， you'll want to keep them on． But please close whatever programs are allowing email or chat messages to ruin your end-of-the-day productivity． Before turning off your computer， you should also exit your Internet browser， and close the web pages you had opened． If you start your new day by seeing that articles you were reading， you are starting in the wrong frame of mind．3.

It's important to plan your day before it starts．4.A day that starts without a plan is like an engine that needs to warm up before it's safe to drive． Perform your planning the day before， because a day planned in advance allows you to jump in fully prepared， fully planned， and fully ready to get stuff done．

Your office space is known as an "environmental factor．"5.As Inc．com reported， dirty office can actually ruin your job performance． Then tiding up your office， you will become more productive． It's just that simple． By doing so， you feel good with a peaceful slate of mind， a sense of refreshment and energy， which will be enough for the following day．

A．Each day deserves a fresh start．

B．So it is important to have a cleaner．

C．The condition of it changes the way you think and work．

D．You can be less effective when finishing dealing with them．

E．Write down everything that's on your mind that you need to do．

F．You are so upset and disappointed about your whole day's productivity．

G．This is one of the biggest gains you can make towards your productivity．

高一英语七选五困难题查看答案及解析

It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure，even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

1. Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.

A. look ahead to see where there’s a turn

B. direct the driver when necessary

C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

2.Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A. To be saved in case of an accident.

B. To get information when in danger.

C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.

3.Orienteering activities can______________.

A. make people work fast

B. help people organize other activities

C. help people stay healthy

D. make people get prepared for sports

4.The text mainly talks about____________.

A. the fun of exploration

If you are afraid of the dark，it’s not a big deal．It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid After all，animals do too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist．“It’s a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”

Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways．A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell．A　 small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches．

Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect．The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red—eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.

In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leaves．The leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over ponds．After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs.

Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching．If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.

If hatching early helps protect red—eyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don’t always hatch sooner．It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger．Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too．Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strong．This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water．

1.It can be inferred from the passage that fears　　　　 .

A. help animals grow bigger and stronger

B. are less common among young animals

C. help animals move a lot to fit the environment

D. are more or less important in order for animals to survive

2.We are told in the passage that tree frogs　　　　　 .

A. face danger both inside their eggs and in the water

B. will grow fast if they fall into the water later

C. are surprisingly clever when inside their eggs

D. stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened

3.Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule？Because

A. They like falling into the water early

B. They want to grow into adult frog

C. They sense a hungry snake is about to attack

D. Frog embryos can grow strong

4.What is the best title of the passage ？

A. What is Fear　　 B. Why do we feel afraid

C. You feel afraid，animals do too　　 D. Fear is a good thing

5.What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule．

B. How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them．

C. Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way．

D. How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.

Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room? Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Find your answers in Time Magazine's 25 "Best Inventions". Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you.

Talking Gloves

Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the "helping hand" you need. Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words.

Google Glasses

Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses. With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.

Indoor Clouds

It's not virtual.That's a real world. Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning—the temperature, humidity（湿度）and lighting all had to be just right. Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in the air with the machine. But it only lasted for a short while.

Wingsuits

The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.Well, not exactly flying, but gliding（滑翔）through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.

1.Who will probably be the users of “Talking Gloves”?

A.Disabled people B.Normal people.

C.Trained people. D.Working people.

2.How can users of Google Glasses surf the Internet?

A.By moving the mouse. B.By tapping the keyboard.

C.By moving the eyeballs. D.By pressing the button.

3.Which of the following can help you fly?

A.Talking Gloves. B.Wingsuits.
