Five Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder
No matter how hard we work, it seems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done. Rather than working longer, consider working smarter, not harder. Here are some ways to work smarter:
Make a careful plan. Just like every organization needs a business plan, an efficient worker needs a work plan. 16.  Schedule your tasks throughout the days, weeks, and months, but do it ahead of time.
Set your goals. As a part of your work plan, you should set clear and measurable goals. Goals should state which tasks are to be completed and when they get completed. Rather than setting firm deadlines, which can lead to pressure and stress, allow a period of time to reach goals.17.
18. Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it! If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks(emails, reports), one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks.
Delegate(分派工作)effectively.19. The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed, but is bad for their colleagues, by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.
Don’t make work harder than it actually is. Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves.   20.  We feel like we should do more. Remember that tasks should be completed step by step. Focus on each step rather than on the entire project, which can help us cut down on feelings that we are overwhelmed.
A. Stick to your plan.
B. We set unrealistic goals or standards for ourselves.
C. Also, take time to reward yourself for achieving a goal.
D. Organize your workday.
E. We cannot expect to complete the tasks quickly.
F. Learn which tasks can be delegated and which need personal attention.
G. It is a well-thought-out plan to help guide and direct work activities.
【文章大意】本文介绍了五个可以让你更加聪明地工作的方法:制定一个周密的工作计划;设定目标;安排你的工作日;有效分配工作;不要加大任务难度。。
16.G 本段主要是强调计划的重要性,根据上文"Just like every organization needs a business plan,an efficient worker needs a work plan"可知,就像每个组织都需要一个商业计划一样,一个有效率的员工需要一个工作计划,前句提到工作需要计划,那么下句就是关于什么样的计划有用,故选G。
17.C 本段主要是关于设定目标,空前说不要设定一个最后期限,这样会导致压力,要允许用一段时间来完成目标。根据上文可知C项 (实现一个目标就花些时间奖励自己)能够延续上文,而且句中的关键词achieving a goal和上文中的reach goals能对应起来。故选C。
18.D 由下文daily work schedule和关键词workday可知,本段介绍如何安排日常工作。D项(组织你的工作日)能够概括本段,符合语境。故选D。
19. F小标题中的delegate与F项中的delegated相呼应。根据小标题可知,本段介绍把任务分派给他人。分派给他人任务的前提就是学会区分哪些任务是能分派给他人的,哪些是需要亲自关注的。选项F符合语境。故选F。
20.E 根据前一句Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves.(大部分压力是我们自己产生的。)以及空后一句We feel like we should do more.(我们觉得我们应该做更多。)可知B项(我们为自己设定了不合实际的目标或标准)符合语境。故选B。
