三、
Last week, my younger brother visited me for five days. To ensure I could spend as much time with him as possible, I worked extra hard during the weekend before he arrived.
It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient.
During the week, I put in a couple of hours in the mornings to handle pressing issues and then spent the afternoons and evenings going out with him. Once again, I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working.
This made me think of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
I realized then that I'd given myself more time than necessary for work, and as a result, I ended up spending a lot of time delaying needlessly and entertaining myself online.
How might things change for me, I wondered, if I chose to commit to more social and recreational activities, made them priorities and was motivated to finish work quicker
I realize not everyone has flexible work schedules, but I believe we could all create more time for ourselves if we were motivated to cut out the choices that don't match our strongest desires and intentions. Maybe it's being absent-minded in front of the TV or searching the web.
I believe what English musician John Lennon said is true: Time that you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.1 don't think there's anything wrong with using technology if we've consciously chosen to do it.
However, we owe it to ourselves to get out in the world and explore different possibilities—to be playful, curious, engaged and just to be.
Perhaps it would be easier to do that if we asked ourselves: How can I be more effective Can I minimize what I am currently doing How can I start using the time I've created in a way that will excite and inspire me

答案：1-4 BCDC
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第二段“It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient.(当我有强烈的动力去提高效率的时候,我能完成多少事情让我感到惊讶)”以及第三段中“Once again, I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working.(我再一次惊讶地意识到,如果我有意识地选择在工作时更有效率,那我能有更多空闲时间)”可知,作者对于自己能在更短的时间内完成工作感到惊奇,故选B。

四、
答案：stands; a; going; strongest; ourselves; than; to find; directly; failure; in
解析：①考查时态。句意:自信通常被看作是一堵经得起时间考验的砖墙,但通常,它更像是一把火,一把必须注入高质量燃料才能继续燃烧的火。分析句子可知,“that 1 (stand) the test of time”为定语从句,修饰先行词wall,结合主句中is,所以此处用一般现在时。故填stands。
②考查冠词。句意同上。根据下文“ one that must be fed with quality fuel ”,one为代词指的名词fire,所以fire表示泛指,因此用冠词a,故填a。
③考查非谓语动词。句意同上。keep doing,意为“继续做某事”,为固定结构,所以此处填going。故填going。
④考查形容词最高级。句意:即使是最强壮的人也会被生活击倒。根据设空前的定冠词the及设空后的名词man,可知此处要用形容词最高级。故填strongest。

⑥考查连词。句意:那么,如果信心更像是一把火,而不是一堵墙,那我们怎么能重新点燃它呢 根据上文“more”可知,空格处表示上下文的比较,所以用连词than。故填than。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意:它可以是生活中有价值的新机会,即使它们是自我导向的,即使它们是在经历了人生挫折或失败等可怕的经历后直接到来的。It + is/was +adj. + to do sth. 为固定句式,其中it为形式主语,不定式短语为真正的主语。所以此处用不定式。故填to find。
⑧考查副词。句意同上。根据设空前的动词come可知,此处要用副词修饰副词。故填directly。
⑨考查名词。句意同上。结合设空前名词setback,可知此处用名词与其并列,故填failure。
⑩考查介词。句意:要记住的重要一点是,新的机会总是存在的。keep in mind意为“记住”为固定短语,所以空白处填介词in。故填in。
