专题27 计划
Passage 1
(2022·陕西宝鸡·一模)We all have a to-do list. Like you, mine seems to be growing every day instead of becoming shorter. But now I am going to cover three areas and tell you what not to do.
____1____
You're never going to finish everything on your to-do list. ____2____ You should think about the Pareto principle. 20% of your tasks will produce 80% of your results. Concentrate on them. There are other important tasks that will need to be done but they don’t necessarily need to be done by you. Let’s say you take up consulting work at $150 per hour but you have some bookkeeping to do. ____3____ Why not pay someone $55 per hour to do your bookkeeping so you can earn $150 per hour
Don’t leave each day to chance.
Does your day fly by without you even realizing where the hours are gone Have you considered creating a morning or an evening ritual (惯例) There may be a different solution for you but I am particularly protective of my mornings—I wake up early, exercise and write. Others who keep a journal at the end of the day may plan out their next day. ____4____ It’s important to structure your day as this will help you get more done to achieve your goals.
Keep it simple! This will help you organize your tasks in order of priority (优先), and you won’t feel overwhelmed looking ahead at tasks for tomorrow, next week, or next month. Be realistic about what you can accomplish in 24 hours.
Don’t allow others to steal your time.
____5____ Stop answering every random call or accepting a meeting request that doesn’t have a specific schedule. Actively guard your time and stop the timewasters from eating into your productivity. When you do this,people will both respect you more and value your time more.A.Don’t try to do everything.
B.Either of these might work for you.
C.There’s always something added to it.
D.This work is worth maybe $55 per hour.
E.Don’t waste your time looking back on what you’ve lost.
F.Your time is valuable and you should treat it as much.
G.Finishing my to-do list has become one of my most important tasks.
Passage 2
(2021·广东茂名·三模)Set Balanced Career Goals In A New Year
The New Year is a time for a change and to set goals. As to setting new career goals and making some important career changes, here are some tips.
Reflect on your year. Take some time to consider your career in the year that just ended.
____6____ Is it due to the work itself, or something about the workplace If you like what you do, and it’s outside factors that you find limiting, it might make sense to find a new position.
Be occupied in career research. ____7____ Start to read about careers of interest. Identify two new careers to research each week, and keep a diary of your interest in each. If your goal is a new job, research companies in your industry, salaries as well.
____8____ Activate your curiosity about the work lives of friends and people in your social network. Think about the roles of colleagues, suppliers, or clients that might be a good fit for you.
Gain new skills. If you want to move to a new career, consider volunteering to gain additional experience, or taking classes to learn new skills. ____9____
Be better. If you are totally in love with what you do, aim higher, and try to be better. ____10____ The year is young enough for you to grow far better and so are your dreams.A.Check out what your friends do.

Passage 3
(2021·福建省南安第一中学二模)SMART Goal Setting
SMART goal setting is one of the most valuable methods used by high achievers today to actualize(实现)their life goals time after time. SMART is an acronym (首字母缩略词) that stands for-Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound. ____11____
Every goal ought to be specific. Being clear about your goals and expectations is the first step to reaching them. ____12____ For example, “I will start planning toward retirement” is vague. Instead, you could say. “I will start planning toward retirement by building up a nest egg.” This is more specific. When you are specific on your goal, it’s easier for you to identify all its components and work accordingly toward achieving it.
____13____ If you can’t measure something, you can’t tell if you’re performing well or if you’re off track. Setting measurable goals lets you evaluate your performance and stay on track.
Goals should be achievable and realistic. ____14____ It’s also important not to get too carried away and use far-fetched or unreachable goals as motivators, constantly chasing an impossibly high goal. Allow yourself to feel motivated by the satisfaction of achievement and real progress.
Each goal has to be time-bound. ____15____ Actually, it’s incredibly important to make your goals time-bound. The act of having deadlines set to your goals is a motivation that drives you into action. Without a deadline, it is not possible for you to know if you’re making headway with your goals.A.Your goals must be measurable.
B.That is because your goals are not specific enough.
C.It is the final letter of SMART that is often ignored.
D.When goals are too wide or vague, they are easy to miss.
E.To make your SMART goals work, use the following tips.
F.You may wonder if this is achievable in the given time frame.
G.It’s important to plan out goals that are within realistic capabilities.
Passage 4
(2021·湖北·麻城市实验高级中学模拟预测)New Year’s resolutions you should be making about time management
You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding. That’s why as a time management coach, I recommend that you do the opposite: __16__
Know less
It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone. ____17____ Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.
Resolution: I resolve to be less aware of “interesting” things so I can be interested in and present for the people around me.
Care less
This one may sound a bit unfeeling.You may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well. ____18____ What that means is that you say “No” a lot.
Here is a way:
I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day. ____19____ Being able to unplug from work in my personal time increases my ability to serve my clients well when I’m in the office.
Resolution: ____20____ Consequently, I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me.
Is it easy to do less No. But will it lead you to the best outcomes in the end Yes. You’ll thank yourself for it at the end of 2020.A.Resolve to do less.
B.Contact people face to face.
C.I have to manage my time strategically.

Passage 5
(2018·全国·一模)The following advice will show you what you can do to form an improvement plan when you find yourselves academically underperforming.
___21___ When you’re frequently receiving lower grades than you’d hoped for, you may start to feel depressed. The first step on the road to improving your grades is to turn this negativity on its head. Acknowledge that your grades aren’t what you’re aiming for, but believe that you can do something about it.
Talk to your teachers. Your teachers know you best, so it’s worth talking to them when you’re drawing up a plan of action for improving your grades.___22___ And they’ll probably have some advice on how you can go about it.
Pay more attention in class. If you often daydream in class, it’s time to start focusing on the lessons. Listen to what the teacher is saying rather than talking with friends or allowing your mind to wander. Don’t simply copy down what’s on the board without thinking about it.___23___
Start organizing your life. Clutter (杂乱) of any kind prevents our ability to operate efficiently, so another way of improving your academic performance is to get organized.___24___ Start thinking more about your time management, too.
Find the right learning style for you. If you’re academically underperforming, another possible reason could be that you haven’t found the right learning style for you.___25___ Perhaps you just haven’t found your most effective studying style yet.

So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding.” 从去年开始,你可能已经有太多的目标和太多的失望。所以当你展望2020年,添加更多的想法似乎有点令人兴奋,但也有点令人生畏。下面说这就是我建议你反其道而行之(you do the opposite): ___1___”。文中冒号起到解释说明作用,“do the opposite”对应上文提到“the idea of adding more”,与增加更多的想法相反的就是不去做多的计划,分析选项可知,可知A项Resolve to do less(决心少点)符合题意。故选A。

19.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前文“I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day” 我星期一到星期五白天都在为顾客服务。后文又提到“Being able to unplug from work in my personal time” 能够在我的私人时间里从工作中解脱出来。可知,没有必要一周七天都要工作。要用自己的私人时间。分析选项可知,D项But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7(但是我觉得没有必要一周七天,一天24小时都要为客户服务)符合题意,由此故而中间需要D项作为衔接。故选D。
