The United Kingdom李仕才一、閱讀理解。Below are several suggestions to help you, the workaholic, re-focus and get the best out of life. EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP! Make it a point to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Dont believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later”. Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible. STRICTLY FAMILY ON WEEKENDS! Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because its work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? “I cant work today because Im spending time with my family. ”GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you cant afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. Its always a good idea if you have crackers on your drawer to ease the hunger pangs. CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Dont bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have an eight-to-five working schedule, stick to it. WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isnt going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, its even more important that you get some exercise. MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. Its much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day. Make out a list of priorities. Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After youve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more. 【文章大意】本文對(duì)工作狂們提出如何更好地聚焦生活, 提高效率的方法及建議。1. The passage is intended for _.
