英语六级阅读强化练习原文
Some study suggests that about 15% of our time is wasted on looking for misplaced files andpaperwork at the office. People gel really defensive when you tell them that their desk is amess. They say that they don't have time to clean up. as they are too busy. And if they wouldfile certain items they would forger cowork on it and would therefore miss the deadline.
Hence. first things first. get yourself some folders and a black marker. Take every piece of paperon yourdesk one by one and file them. Make sure that everything you need to do with thesepapers is written down on a "to-do" list or even better in your computer organiser. For example.if you have to work on your budget next Monday, write down "work on budget" in yourcomputer organiser so that when Monday comes, your computer will send you a reminder thatyou need co work on your budget today. Then file that paper in a folder named "budget". Putthat folder away-not on your desk!! But in your filing cabinet. Proceed this way with every bitof information that clutters your desk. Do not get distracted by a form that reminds you thatyou need to do something. Instead. jot it down on your "to-do" list or in your organiser. Youwon't forget it as it has been written down. File it and move on. Keep focused. Only do onething at a time for the moment and that is to organise and clean your desk.

A) 桌面的颜色这样的事情太琐碎,很难记得住
B) 人们总是忙于办公室工作
C) 人们总是乱放文具
D) 杂乱无章的办公室让人无法忍受
[C]题干是首段第2句的内容,是针对该段首句“抽屉及文件柜里的东西最终在他们的键盘上堆积成山”的进一步形象说明,可见作者以此暗示“人们总是胡乱堆放文具”,因此C为本题答案。

B) 作者让他把正在做的文书工作绐自己。
C)作者建议他要记得东西摆放的地方。
D) 作者建议他做事情要一件一件地来。
[A]根据首段末句那位同事的回答可以推断作者对他说的内容应该是:整理办公桌,把不必要的文件文具清理干净,由此可见,本题应选A。本段主要针对“乱七八糟的办公桌”这个话题,B、D都与此主题无关,不能选;C与主题关系不密切,也不能选。
3. 有些人认为留在桌面上的文件_____________。
A) 有电脑的作用
B) 是一个项目的副产品
C) 提醒自己还有什么工作要做
D) 证明了他们的工作有多么忙
[C]第2段末句中的if...they would forget表明有些人把文件堆放在桌面上以防忘记要做的事,因此本题应选C。A.B均无原文依据;D中的busy一词在第2段倒数第2句提及,但这一句与下一句没有逻辑上的因果关系,故不能选。

C) 记录公司的预算
D)保存对未来的工作任务有用的东西
[D]末段提到了整理桌面文件的步骤,还举了具体的例子,如要做预算报告,先将任务记录在计算机整理器中,然后将资料归人“budget"档案,以备今后使用,因此,budget收藏的是在将来可能有用的资料,即D项所述。
