2016贵州遵义航天高级中学五模英语试题及答案(4)

   Front up to the toughest work first
   Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence. That’s fair enough. The only challenge with this approach is that you use up your primary energy at the start of any study period and so if you are dealing with the easy parts with your primary energy your batteries will be low when it comes the time to deal with the hard part. So what happens then?      39       We all do it. We really shouldn’t, though. So develop the habit of giving your primary energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy stuff last.

   Do we really have to explain this? Just turn them off for an hour. We promise the world will still be there when you log back in! Don’t text your friends, don’t chat while doing memory activities, don’t make phone calls, just focus on what you’re doing. Even if you focus on work for 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes of chatting, it’s better than 30 minutes of work while also chatting! You get that right?
A. Top students don’t just randomly sit down and complete work.
B. Positive habits decide future success.
C. Taking breaks can make you get everywhere.
D. You get tired and impatient and just give up.
E. They make plans ahead.
F. Instead, take regular breaks.
G. Get off social networking sites and turn off the phone.

As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the     41    side of this line. One day, it was time to prepare for dinner. When I held    42    the apron strings（围裙带） connecting us, Nicole, eager to    43    independence, tried to loosen my grasp.

I felt proud, though still a bit    55   .

There have been a few holes along the way.    58   , she is well-equipped and eager to   59   the future. The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the    60   we both needed.

   Last Sunday I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canifield,      61       author of the Success Principles. During his talk, Jack reached for his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and said, “Who      62       (want) it?” The audience all raised their hands,      63       (wait) to see whom Jack would choose. However, I ran to the stage and caught the bill. As I      64       (expose) to the audience, I wondered      65       I would be teased by them.
