not do to increase our daily result. Time Management is not necessarily working harder, but quicker and
smarter. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are the top four Time
Management mistakes we should all avoid to help us to increase our daily success.
a). Start your day without a plan of action. If so, you will have worked hard but may not have done
enough of right things. Time Management is not doing the wrong things quicker. Time Management is
doing the right things.
b). Work with a messy(杂乱的) desk or work areas. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends one and a half hours per day looking for things. If you have ever visited the
office of a top manager, who is working with a clean desk environment, you will find that the manager
works effectively(有效地).
c). Don"t get enough sleep. Studies show that nearly 75% of us complain on a regular basis, all
throughout our days, that we are tired. For most people, they get the quantity of sleep, but they lack the
quality of sleep. Their days are filled with so much stress that they are out of control, working harder but
maybe not smarter, that it"s difficult to get a full night"s sleep.
d). Don"t take a lunch break. Many do not take a lunch break, working through that period in the
hopes that it will give them more time to produce results. Studies have shown it may work just the
opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, we start to feel tired. A lunch break, even short,
gives us a chance to get our energy back again.

C. People can"t get a full night"s sleep mainly because of too much stress.
D. The longer a lunch break is, the more efficiently people will work.
B. Good order leads to great success.
C. A year"s plan starts with spring.
D. No rest, no work.
the television have been devised (发明;想出) in the UK.
The shoes- named Square Eyes- contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to
record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to
a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day"s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British
teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel
University in London, UK. "We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out," she
says. "And I wanted to tackle that with my design."
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically
switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily
amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than
two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely(精确
地)one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers(计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps
by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through
shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. "It is possible, but it would
be a lot of effort," she says. "That was one of my main design considerations."

And when men do talk, they"d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer"s
vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.
Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It"s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion
built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he"s operating in the
work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.
When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is
questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we
surveyed recently told us that they don"t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
It"s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they"re on the witness stand. They"re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even
understand themselves.
An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he"s more likely to open up.

So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you
keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter
people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you"re
unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you
can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in
listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If
you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you
normally don"t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can
make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don"t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you"re not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false
face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness,
sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
B. he is angry
C. he is not afraid

B. Arms tell more than legs
C. Facial expressions tell the truth
D. One simple movement lets slip secrets of mind
We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy.
It works your muscles and makes your heart work hard so as to send blood to your muscles. So,
exercise makes your heart and muscles strong. Exercise also makes you feel refreshed. If you exercise
a couple of times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.
Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many
people don"t have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from dawn till dusk,
so they don"t have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in
front of computers. They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively.
Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, the majority of
people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive
to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is unfavorable in two ways.
First, these people don"t have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four
hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention.
It makes a person worn out. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don"t have the desire to
take exercise after work.
Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. Doctors
say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to
get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don"t see a difference right away, they
will lose heart and stop exercising.
And the sad truth is that "clothing mismatches" on the job can ruin the day of the person who is
wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)-and the people with whom he or she works.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for
office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to
remember that no matter what your company"s attitude is, you are working in a business
environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening
wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than
for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A
senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will
be judged by your appearance.
This is never more apparent than on "dress-down days", when what you wear can say more
about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you
wear on dress-down days than on "business professional " days. Thus, when dressing in "business
casual" clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the "real" definition
of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear on
business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one
way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going
and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the
beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make
the man-and the woman. When you"re in doubt, it"s safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more
traditionally than the situation demands.

D. Improper dress will make a person uncomfortable.
B. People are usually more careful about dressing.
C. We can"t judge a person"s taste by his clothes.
D. People"s clothes don"t receive much attention.
B. Think about how others will dress if invited to a dinner.
C. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.
D. Ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.
