精编优选练(二十一)阅读七选五1 (限时:35分钟) A Rushing doesn't get the job done. Before you even start your day, you have more to do than you know you can accomplish, so you start the race. You madly dash through traffic, tasks, meetings and more. 1 But, you're going to try to cram (把……塞进) as much into your day as possible. Yet, is going faster always the answer? Sometimes slowing down is exactly what you need to do to get more done. Here are some ways to slow down and still get more done in your day: Practice patience. Rushing isn't always the answer and it doesn't feel good. 2 Try a little patience. Many of the things you are stressing about aren't worth it and many problems resolve themselves with just a little patience. 3 Talking with others often leads to answers and productive outcomes. Go and see the person you need to connect with instead of just endlessly sending emails. Plan. Saying you don't have time to plan is simply an excuse. 4 Planning can help you identify your priorities (首要事情) and avoid scheduling conflicts as well. Using a plan, you will be more relaxed during your day. Slow your pace. Haste (匆忙) often does lead to waste. 5 Try slowing things down and being more conscious of the task at hand.Besides, make sure that your energy doesn't burn out too early in your day. A.Think more. B.Spend time with others. C.You know that you can't possibly do it all. D.If you are always in a hurry, it will result in unneeded stress. E.You need to put your work first before you take on the work of others. F.The truth is that planning is an effective way to save your time in your day. G.Mistakes, rework, and missed objectives can be the results of going too fast.

Ava learned that many of the residents (住户) there receive few visitors. 1 “I asked my mom if I could visit them,” she says. Soon, Ava and her mom became volunteers at Birchwood Health Care Center. That was six years ago. 2 She enjoys hanging out with Mary, Shirley and other residents during her twice­monthly visits.“I paint their nails,and I talk to a lot of them,” she says. Sometimes she helps lead craft (手工艺)projects. Other times they play card games. “It's good for the residents to see little kids,”Ava says. “That makes them really happy.” 3 She has raised money for the nursing home by making refrigerator decorations and selling them at a craft fair.She has also collected used puzzles from garage sales and donated them to Birchwood. Ava wrote a book called The Squirrel Family. In the book,two squirrels raise a family and eventually move into a place called Birchwood where they live happily. 4 Ten stores in her city agreed to display the books, along with a can to collect money. Ava's project raised about $750. Birchwood used that money to buy furniture for the residents. Ava says she enjoyed the look of “pure joy” on a resident's face after a hug from her. That's why she started visiting Birchwood — to bring happiness to others. 5 “It's really fun,” she says. “They have good stories, and I enjoy my time there.” A.She decided to take action.

This article will offer some tips for starting and keeping one. ◆Make it a rule to write down things you are thankful for per day. 1 This will make writing the journal more challenging as time goes on, but that's how your awareness and thankfulness will grow. You'll find new things to be thankful for that you hardly noticed before. ◆Write about extended material things in your life. 2 For example, if you love to paint, you may be grateful for the paints that you have. Or,if you like music,you may be grateful for your CD collections.
