26、Things People Do On Monday Mornings Make Them Highly Successful

Ah, Monday morning. It’s nobody’s favorite time of the week. It’s when we all have to spring out of bed and face a new week. But just because that Monday morning alarm clock is a rude awakening, that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of those early hours. Here are a few things people do to start their weeks right.

They don’t hit the pause button.

【1】 Whoever invented the pause button should be given a Nobel Prize. However, though we all like that chance to catch a few extra Z’s, repeatedly hitting the button finally does more harm than good. Do your best to get up right when your alarm goes off.

They leave behind a tidy house.

Monday can be very busy, so it is likely to leave things laying around the house or those dirty dishes in the sink all day. However, there’s an even bigger possibility you won’t want to take care of any of that stuff when you get home, either. 【2】 It’ll only take a few minutes, and you’ll thank yourself once you return later in the day.

They make a to-do list.

To-do lists are great. They keep you on track and make you responsible for getting all of the work done. Make one on your computer, one on your phone, one on a sticky note on your desk. So you’ll know what you need to get done and in what order. 【3】

【4】

It’s hard to concentrate. 【5】 Try to begin working when you know you won’t be interrupted with something else. Highly successful people can only be successful if they get their work done, so make sure you’re able to do the same.

A．Clean up after yourself.

B．Everyone loves the button.

C．They focus on the task at hand.

D．They attend to small things first.

E．Remember to cross things off the list they get done.

F．That way, you’ll be ready to face the day more quickly.

G．So rid your work space of anything that may cause you to be less concentrated.

28、We humans like to conquer.

For the same reason that soccer players want to hold the World Cup trophy(奖杯)and tennis players crave a Grand Slam win, mountaineers dream of reaching the highest peak on the planet-Mount Qomolangma, which towers about 8, 844 meters above sea level.

"Everybody wants to stand on top of the word, "Mirza Ali from Pakistan who had just "Conquered" Mount Qomolangma, told the Los Angeles Times.

However, this desire to conquer has become so strong that we have begun to travel in the wrong direction.

During this year's climbing season-from March to May-at least 11 climbers died in the Himalayas, making it one of the worst seasons on record. And the fact that many of the climbers were inexperienced is one of the major factors(因素)contributing to the tragedy, according to USA Today

"They don't train very hard. They underestimate(低估)Qomolangma, " Jangbu Sherpa, who has been working as a guide on Mount Qomolangmasince2006, told NBC News "There are lots of climbers who just want to check the box so that they can say they've been to the top of the world. "

This ignorant attitude of climbers also leads to other problems-apart from putting their own lives at risk, of course. According to Huff Post, the mountains cleaning group collected 12 tons of trash- including food wrappers(包装袋), and oxygen tanks-left behind this climbing season. This once holy(神圣的)and peaceful corner of the world has, as The Atlantic reporter Margret Grebowics put it, "lost its magic".

Perhaps what we should do now is restore meaning to the activity itself-real meaning. And for Alison Levine, a US mountaineer who reached the summit(山顶)of Mount Qomolangma in 2010, the meaning doesn't come with the summit itself, but with everything that led her up to it.

"When I did make it to the summit, what I realized is that standing on top of a mountain doesn't change you and doesn't change the world, "Levine told the NPR. "It’s really about the journey. The journey is the most important thing on any mountain. "

It's true that we humans like to conquer. But the first step of conquering anything is probably to learn to conquer our own greed(贪婪) and ignorance.

A．Critical.

B．Positive.

C．Encouraging.

D．Ashamed

29、For thousands of years, we have looked for ways to measure time. Early humans found that the regular movements of the sun, the earth ,the moon, and the stars made good ways to measure time. The rising and setting of the sun were used to distinguish (辨别) day from night.

But, eventually, people needed to tell time more accurately, or exactly. So, by using the sun’s position in the sky, they divided the day into dawn, morning, midday and evening.

Then it was noted that the sun cast a changing shadow as it moved across the sky. Time could be told more accurately by setting up a stick and marking the positions of the sun’s shadow. It was the ancient Greeks who divided each position of this “sundial (日规)” into hours.

But the sun doesn’t always shine. So, for the past 6,000 years, many other ways of keeping time have been tried. Slow-burning candles were divided into hours, and the hourglass was invented. When all the sand in the top of an hourglass has shifted to the bottom, an hour has passed.

Later, the pendulum (摆钟), with its regular back-and-forth movement of weights, was used to move the hands on a clock. Pendulums are still used in grandfather clocks.

Today, even more accurate clocks are in use, such as battery-operated quartz clocks (石英钟), digital clocks, and clocks run by electrical tuning forks and tiny atoms. These atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks ever invented. The exact time can be kept to within 1 second a century.

【1】Humans in the old days used ________ to tell day from night.

A．An hourglass.

B．Digital clocks.

C．A sundial.

D．A pendulum.

31、Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there one word more than you need

When I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.

To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)【1】 in her department. Three rounds of interviews later, this acquaintance became my boss(She’s now one of my closest friends)

Think of the parents you see in the drop-off one(下客区)at school. Your favorite waiter. The other dog owners at the park. Sociologists(杜会学家) call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects(前景) but they can also have a positive impact on our 【2】.

Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more 【3】. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have 【4】 and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities【5】from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social 【6】 becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.

Besides, having at east a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who 【7】 the job-search playing field.

Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others' circumstances. This, in turn, 【8】 empathy(同感能力）

Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---【9】 that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.

So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to【10】 pleasantries(寒暄）.
