3、 was working on. Some study suggests that about 15% of our time is wasted on looking for misplaced files and paperwork at the office.

4、certain items they would forget to work on it and would therefore miss the deadline. Hence, first things first, get yourself some folders and a black marker.

6、paper in a folder named “budget“. Put that folder awaynot on your desk! But in your filing cabinet. Proceed this way with every bit of information that clutters your desk.

12、 the Great Depression. It doomed them as the Silent Generation, and a generally dull lot: cautious and obedient, uninterested in striking out in new directions or shaping the great issues of the daythe outwardly efficient types whose inner agonies the novel “Revolutionary Road“ would analyze a decad

13、e later. “Youths ambitions have shrunk,“ the magazine declared. “Few youngsters today want to mine diamonds in South Africa, ranch in Paraguay, climb Mount Everest, find a cure for cancer, sail around the world or build an industrial empire. Some would like to own a small, independent business, but

14、most want a good job with a big firm, and with it, a kind of suburban idyll(田园生活).“ The young soldier “lacks flame,“ students were “docile notetakers.“ And the young writers talent “sometimes turns out to be nothing more than a byproduct of his nervous disposition.“ “The best thing that can be said

15、for American youth, in or out of uniform, is that it has learned that it must try to make the best of a bad and difficult job, whether that job is life, war, or both,“ Time concluded. “The generation which has been called the oldest young generation in the world has achieved a certain maturity.“ Tod

16、ay we are in a recession the depth and duration of which are unknown; Fridays job loss figures were just the latest suggestion that it could well be prolonged and profound rather than shorter and shallower. So what of the youth shaped by what some are already calling the Great Recession? Will a publ

17、ication looking back from 2030 damn them with such faint praise? Will they marry younger, be satisfied with stable but less exciting jobs? Will their children mock them for reusing tea bags and counting pennies as if this paycheck were the last? At the very least, they will deal with tremendous inst

18、ability, just as their Depression forebears did. “The 30s challenged the whole idea of the American dream, the idea of open economic possibilities,“ said Morris Dickstein, an English professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. “The version you get of that today is the loss o

19、f confidence on the part of both parent and children that life in the next generation will inevitably be better.“ How todays young will be affected 10, 20 or 40 years on will depend on many things.

24、es much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue. The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the betteror worsepart of my life.

25、 Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars. Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have

26、 certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wea

27、lth and well-being. Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.

28、this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the asso

29、ciated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problemtoo much fat and a lack of fiberthan a weight problem. The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung

30、 health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get(or already are)thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from pa

31、ying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory(虚荣).(分数:10.00)(1).In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that_.(分数:2.00)A.the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtueB.looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC.being thin is viewed as

32、a much desired qualityD.religious people are not necessarily virtuous(2).Swept by the prevailing trend, the author _.(分数:2.00)A.had to go on a diet for the greater part of her lifeB.could still prevent herself from going off the trackC.had to seek help from rich distant relativesD.had to wear highly

36、el. This week, the New York-based Conference board said its consumer confidence is about half of what it was this time last year. As people struggle to deal with job losses and dwindling retirement funds, their outlook of the countrys economic situation remains pessimistic during the biggest consume

37、r spending time of the year. Claire Rusk, a shopper in Alexandria, Virginia, says she is changing her holiday spending habits this year because of the economic crisis, even though her nine-year-old son expects Christmas as usual. “His list is longer than ever, so I was listening to how you tell him

38、that his list better be shorter this year,“ she said. Rusk says the crisis is forcing her to think hard about her purchases. “Im just going to be more careful. Im going to make a list. Im not going to randomly shop,“ she noted. “I usually just go out and shop, but Im going to have a plan before I go

39、 out this year.“ And Rusk is not alone.

42、“Im a little concerned, but it is just before Thanksgiving, so Im hopeful that things will pick up just after Thanksgiving.“ Birkett says her gift shop has not felt the effects of the economic crisis as much as other store owners she knows because it is close to Washington D.C. and benefits from tou
