问题     I have worked with so many people over the years that have made me wonder how on earth they can work at their desk when everything that was in their drawers and in their filing cabinets has ended up in piles on top of their keyboard. One co-worker of mine couldn’t remember what colour the top of his desk was! I had to say something, but when I did, he told me that he knew where everything was and needed all that paperwork for different projects he was working on.
    Some study suggests that about 15% of our time is wasted on looking for misplaced files and paperwork at the office. People get really defensive when you tell them that their desk is a mess. They say that they don’t have time to clean up, as they are too busy. And if they would file 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. Take every piece of paper on your desk one by one and file them. Make sure that everything you need to do with these papers 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 your computer organiser so that when Monday comes, your computer will send you a reminder that you need to work on your budget today. Then file that paper in a folder named "budget". Put that folder away—not on your desk!! But in your filing cabinet. Proceed this way with every bit of information that clutters your desk. Do not get distracted by a form that reminds you that you need to do something. Instead, jot it down on your "to-do" list or in your organiser. You won’t forget it as it has been written down. File it and move on. Keep focused. Only do one thing at a time for the moment and that is to organise and clean your desk.
What did the author most probably say to his co-worker?
选项 A、The author told him to put away the unnecessary paperwork.
B、The author asked him for the paperwork he was working on.
C、The author advised him to remember where everything was.
D、The author suggested he deal with the projects one by one.
答案A
解析 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，把不必要的文件清理干净，由此可见，本题应选A。本段主要针对“办公桌上乱七八糟”这个话题，B、D都与此主题无关，不能选；C并没有谈到“办公桌”、“文件”等关键问题，与主题关系不密切，也不能选。
