21、★How to Be Productive in a Challenging Environment
A lot of organizations deal with challenges like maintaining productivity and quality of work.【1】 In this article, we’ll share with you a few essential tips on staying focused at work.
Prepare a to-do list
Half the battle is won once you prioritize(优先处理)your tasks. Make a list of what needs to be done. Plan your day through these lists and set realistic deadlines to accomplish each one of them.【2】
Schedule your work.
Don’t overstretch yourself with your work.【3】To avoid burnouts, take a walk to renew your brain, allowing it to concentrate better. Though breaks are essential for a healthy workday, you must learn to take them with a pinch of salt. Frequent breaks can be addictive and can affect your work.
【4】
Nowadays, being online on various social media platforms is a trend. Several notifications (通知)pop up every now and then, commanding your attention. If you are constantly attending to such notifications, how are you supposed to do meaningful work? While working on an important project, put your phone on silent or switch it off. If you really want to stay updated with your social media accounts, you can set specialized time slots to check your phone.
Cut outside noise.
Until you do away with noise, you won't be able to focus. Limiting auditory distractions is crucial in increasing attention span. You can use noise-canceling headphones for that.【5】In case that doesn’t solve the problem, choose remote work for a day or two to regain your lost focus.
Keep on practicing these positive habits and you’ll surely see a noticeable improvement in your productivity level at work.
A．Avoid distractions.
B．Take regular exercise.
C．Rather, refresh yourself when necessary.
D．Changing your working environment may have unexpected benefits.
E．When you start prioritizing, you won’t just be focused but efficient, too.
F．If you still can’t concentrate, move to a quieter place, such as a conference room.
G．Managers are pressed to motivate their team members while boosting their productivity.
22、I was appreciating my family photos on my computer, admiring my two beautiful babies when I found a disturbing scene: my laptop was in almost all the pictures．There was my daughter, 8 months old, playing at my feet while I was typing on the couch．There was my son, with a big transformer, on my left arms．
I’d heard about the Internet addiction before, but I always thought it was something only limited to playing too much World of Warcraft (a computer game) day and night．Now, it seemed my Internet-habit is slowly but surely crossing the line．Sometimes I find myself up at midnight, surfing the Web while my family are sleeping．I read news, keep up with friends and write my blog … just for something to do．
It turns out that I’m not the only mama who is addicted to the computer．These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction．There’s a movement among psychiatrists (doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder．And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9 percent try to hide their —unnecessary Internet use from their loved ones; 8 percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems．
You’re likely not the kind of addict who doesn’t bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay up for more online time．You may have noticed, though, that going online has become a necessary part of your life, which, at least, means a box of clothes go unwashed．It may also mean you’re missing much time with you baby – something you probably do care about．

A．the author was busy taking care of her babies
B．the author’s job had something to do with computers
C．the author was not good at taking photos of her babies

A．Many women still can control their online time．

C．Going online has become a necessary part of women’s lives．
D．Many people don’t realize that they are addicted to the Internet．
23、 It was Thanksgiving Day a few years ago. My daughter was sitting on the couch watching the parade. My dogs kept lifting their noses to sniff the turkey slowly cooking in the oven. And my sons and I were secretly getting a piece of pumpkin pie with cream to hold us until dinner was done. As we lifted our forks I said, “Life is short! Eat dessert first!” Then I smiled as we ate our pie with delight and gave the outside part to the dogs.
Later I decided to take my oldest dog, Snoopy out for a walk. As we slowly walked through the ankle deep leaves I let my mind wander to memories of Thanksgivings past. I could see my grown children as babies sitting in their high chairs covered in mashed potatoes. I remembered all of those years spent visiting their grandparents and all of the special foods they made. There was sausage stuffing, noodles and cheese, and fried potatoes. There was turkey and delicious desserts made with love. And there was the three day nap (小睡) you wanted to take after dinner.
Even more than the food were the memories of joy that stuck in my mind and stayed in my heart. There were the smiles and hugs, the shared stories and laughter, the love so freely given at this time of the year. I went back inside with all of them flowing through me. I felt both glad and sad at the same time. I was happy for all the blessed times we had shared over the years and sad that they had flown by so fast. Most of all, though, I felt at peace and thankful to God for this wonderful life we are given here.
The truth is the more you love, the more thankfulness fills your heart. The more you love, the more joy you create in your life. Make the most of each day you are given here then. Be thankful for the glorious gift of life. Be the blessing you were meant to be and make every day Thanksgiving Day.

24、• 94% of 3-and 4-year-olds have been spanked(打屁股) at least once during the past year, according to one study.
• 74% of mothers believe spanking is acceptable for kids ages 1 to 3, says another study.
• 61% of parents take spanking as a "regular form of punishment" for young children, according to a different study.
Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child's leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child's level and taking a more child-friendly approach can help as well.
【1】According to one study, how many parents are in favour of spanking?
A. None.
B. Most.
C. Few.
D. All.
【2】Under what circumstances the parents will spank the children?
A. Parents are very tired.
B. The courts give the parents the right.
C. Parents want to teach the children to hit someone.
D. Children do something wrong.
【3】Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude towards spanking?
A. Agreeable
B. Unconcerned
C. Unfavorable
D. Interested
【4】From this passage, we can conclude that .
A. parents should try their best not to spank their children
B. good children always do the right thing
C. parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong
D. children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked
