26、In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.
A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:
Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.
Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.
Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.
【1】With a plan of action, you can ______.
A. work harder
B. do the wrong things more rapidly
C. avoid doing wrong things
D. get nowhere faster
【2】Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.
A. waste a lot of time
B. find the things you need easily
C. become a top manager
D. save seven and a half hours per week
【3】The text mainly tells us ______.
A. how to avoid wasting time
B. we should get our batteries all charged up
C. how important time management is
D. some time management mistakes
27、Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921,the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s, the main crop, potatoes, were affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
【1】What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?
A.How the Irish fought against the English.
B.How Ireland gained independence.
C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.
D.How two “Irelands” came into being.
【2】What can we learn about Ireland from the text?
A.Food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population.
B.People are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside.
C.It is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker.
D.Different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments.
【3】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Life in Ireland
B.A Very Difficult History
C.Ireland, Past and Present
D.The Independence of Ireland
28、 China Train Guide
Quick Guide on China Train Travel
If you're looking for an affordable and comfortable way to get around China, train travel is the way to go. Getting train information and cheap train tickets has never been easier. Online train ticket booking makes it easy for travelers to look through China's train timetable, compare train fares, and look for ticket availability.

Train tickets can be booked online a minimum of 35 minutes and a maximum of 60 days before departure.
How to choose train types

G trains (high-speed trains, standing for gāotiě) are China's bullet trains-the fastest trains with a maximum speed of 400 km/h. Tickets for these trains are the most expensive.
How to buy train tickets

---Online train ticket booking with a travel agency (up to 60 days before departure).
---At the train station/local ticket agency with your passport (up to 58 days before departure).
How to read train tickets
When reading your train ticket, please take note of the Chinese characters and Pinyin printed next to your departure / arrival city. Directions (North, South, East, and West) appear in Pinyin (Bei, Nan, Dong, and Xi), not English.Please make sure you are going to the correct train station.

29、The Latest and Greatest Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
At this point, we know that we’re facing a climate crisis. CO₂ levels are at their highest in 650,000 years, which is why we’ve heard a lot about our “carbon footprint.”
【1】 Essentially, your carbon footprint is the amount of CO₂ emissions(排放) resulting from each of your daily activities, as well as the products you consume. Whether you realize it or not, it affects the environment. So, how can we reduce our carbon footprint? 【2】
Change to smart light bulbs(灯泡)
You’ve probably already made the change from traditional light bulbs to energy-efficient LED bulbs. That’s a great first step, but you can do one better by changing to smart LED bulbs. 【3】 These bulbs can wirelessly connect to the Internet and most importantly, your smartphone, enabling you to turn on the lights or change the color easily.
Use a notebook computer instead of a desktop computer
Consider getting a notebook instead of a desktop, because it uses less energy. Specifically, notebooks use up to 80 percent less electricity than desktops, using between one-fifth and one-third as much energy. 【4】 Notebook computers are an additional 20 percent more power efficient when running on AC adapter(适配器) power over battery power.
Rethink your transportation strategy
Not everyone has the option of walking, biking, or taking public transportation to work, but if you do, those are the best ways to reduce your transportation-related carbon footprint. 【5】 If this is the case, you may want to consider using an electric car. While only a few years ago these cars seemed imaginary, they’re now pretty standard, and electric charging stations are getting more common.
Taking these very workable steps is a good start. Doing your part to protect the planet can be as easy as making small, strategic changes to your everyday routine.
A.What makes them smart?
B.Besides, an added benefit exists.
C.But, what exactly is a carbon footprint?
