问题                         Time-saving Tips: Lists
    Making lists is relaxing. It makes you feel important—all those things to do. It dictates the shape of the immediate future: it calms you down(it’s OK, it’s on a list somewhere)and it makes you feel good when you cross something off(list-making is standard practice in the therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too.

    【B1】______Type A makes orderly lists, priorities and calmly sets to work on them. Type B waits until panic sets in, grabs the nearest envelope and scribbles all over it, sighs with relief and promptly loses it.
    【B2】______Barbara Vanilli, chief executive of a large chain of supermarkets, says, "Before I go to bed, I have to write down everything that’s going to stop me sleeping. I feel I won’t forget anything I’ve written down, so my lists are a great comfort. "

    【B3】______ Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do. Jacqueline Maddocks, head of Maddocks Publishers, says, " My male colleagues only make lists for work, whereas I have to make lists for work and for home too. It’s essential to write things down. If you’re constantly thinking ," I must remember this, " it blocks your mind. "
    【B4】______Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list, printed out each morning to be scribbled on during the day. " My electronic organizer has changed my life," she says. " Up to now, I’ve always relied on my good memory, but now that I’m working and studying, I find I’ve got too much to keep in my head. "

    【B5】______You’re not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded, time-managed life. In fact, there’s no better time than the present to get an upper hand on time and begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and paper and make a list. Fill in each blank with one of the following statements, two of which are useless. Put the letters A, B, C, D, E, E or G in each blank according to the theme development.
A. So what are you waiting for?
B. It’s all a question of what works best for you, whether it’s a tidy notebook, a forest of Post-it notes or the back of your hand.
C. The world divides in two when it comes to listing.
D. He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories.
E. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them.
F. If people get obsessed with making lists, it doesn’t work.
G. Women always think they’re better at lists than men.
【B5】
选项
答案A
解析 上文通过多个例子证明了列清单的好处，并且该空之后指出“你不会忙到把今天作为你时间安排合理的第一天的时间都没有”，可知作者是在此处呼吁读者开始养成列清单的好习惯，故A项“所以说，你还在等什么”符合语境。
