【題目】Easy Ways to Get Over Your Laziness

Laziness appears for very specific reasons. Maybe we don’t know how to do the task. 【1】. Maybe we are just plain scared and our mindset needs adjustment. Whatever the cause, if laziness is interfering with your productivity, you must learn to overcome it. Here are several ways to overcome your laziness so you can reach your goals.

Make sure you’re not overwhelmed(不堪重負(fù)的).

Sometimes we freeze up when we’re overwhelmed by everything we have to do--we freeze up and don’t do anything at all. 【2】. If you have too much on your plate and no idea how you’re going to get it all done, it may be that you’re not lazy but overwhelmed.

Check your motivation.

Similarly, if you’re not motivated it is very easy to slip into what looks like laziness. 【3】. If it’s hard for you to stay connected to what motivates you, make up a list that you can consult when you need an extra push.

【4】.

Your environment and the people around you matter. Are you in a space that makes it easy to stay organized and productive? Do the people around you spend more time complaining than following their passions? If you surround yourself with people who love what they do, and are creative and motivated, their enthusiasm will rub off on you. Make sure that your space gives you everything you need to work well.

Value your time.

【5】. Look at your to-do list and prioritize（優(yōu)先）—you can do it in your head, on paper, or on a computer or phone-based planner. Just knowing where you are makes it harder for deadlines to sneak up on you and easier to work productively, even if it’s in short bursts.

A.Look at your surroundings.

B.To be productive we need to be motivated.

C.Make the most of the time you spend working.

D.So select just one thing at a time, do it, and ignore the rest.

E.Maybe we feel overwhelmed by everything we have to do.

F.We may procrastinate（拖延）because we are not sure what to do next.

G.Do you have realistic expectations on how much you are truly able to accomplish?

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。生活中因?yàn)楦鞣N原因我們會有懶惰行為。文章介紹了四種克服懶惰的方法。

【1】第一段第一句話指出懶惰產(chǎn)生的原因有很多。接下來分說幾種可能的原因。E選項(xiàng)“我們也許會因?yàn)楦鞣N事情而感覺不堪重負(fù)”切題。E項(xiàng)以Maybe開頭，在句式和意義上與空格前后兩句成并列關(guān)系，都在具體介紹懶惰的原因。故選E項(xiàng)。

【2】該段標(biāo)題指出第一種方法就是不要讓自己不堪重負(fù)。要在自己的能力范圍內(nèi)行事。G項(xiàng)“你真正能完成多少事情，你對自己的能力有真實(shí)的預(yù)估嗎？”呼應(yīng)本段主題。故選G項(xiàng)。

【3】該段小標(biāo)題指出本段在講動力的問題。空格前一句話“如果沒有動力的話，我們很容易陷入懶惰”，空格處要承接上文，“要做到高效我們需要有動力�！�B項(xiàng)切題，與本段主題呼應(yīng)。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】由下文第一句話“Your environment and the people around you matter”可知，本段在講周圍的環(huán)境和人很重要。A項(xiàng)“觀察自己周圍的環(huán)境”切題，精煉地概括了本段內(nèi)容。故選A項(xiàng)。

【5】本段小標(biāo)題建議我們要重視時(shí)間規(guī)劃�？崭窈笠痪湓挕�Look at your to-do list and prioritize(優(yōu)先)”是在告訴我們要查看任務(wù)清單，善于安排做事順序。那么空格處應(yīng)該與下一句銜接，是在提出問題。F項(xiàng)“我們之所以會拖延是因?yàn)槲覀儾恢�道接下來該做什么”切題。故選F項(xiàng)。

七選五的解題技巧之一是答案要與其所在段落主題呼應(yīng)，保持一致。如第三小題所在段落在講動力的問題，所以選項(xiàng)答案與動力相關(guān)。第四小題，段落標(biāo)題要能概括本段主題內(nèi)容，即周圍環(huán)境的問題。
