问题     You are going to read a text about the tips on work-life balance, followed by a list of evidences. Choose the best evidence from the list A-G for each numbered subheading(1-5). There are two extra examples which you do not need to use.
    Lisa McGonagle has a husband, three kids and a public relations business in Boston.
    Her hectic life speaks volumes about what time management means to her. As she puts it: "I’m running all the time. "
    The same may apply to you. And that makes time management central to the health and growth of your life, profession and business. Truth should be known: Not everyone has a genuine handle on the effective use of time. So you’re not alone.
    Here are some suggestions that may help you get time on your side:
    【C1】Don’t overbook.
    This may seem unusual to people who try to crowbar as much as possible into every workday. The problem is: Things rarely go according to a prearranged agenda. That means a lot of time falling through the cracks chasing down appointments, unreturned phone calls and other items that simply aren’t going to happen.
    【C2】Prioritize ruthlessly.
    The secret to booking your time effectively boils down to knowing what’ s important and what can wait. But it’s critical to use the sharpest knife possible in trimming the essential from the secondary.
    【C3】Learn how to say no.
    One of the biggest land mines to effective time management is recognizing you don’t have to agree to everything and with everyone. Use your priority criteria to identify requests that simply aren’t worth your time.
    【C4】Organize.
    Bringing your time into line isn’t just a matter of scheduling. The mechanics of how you operate can be every bit as important. That means organizing most every element to allow as smooth a workflow as possible.
    【C5】Use technology.
    Although personal habits and practices can do wonders for time management, don’t overlook technology as yet another weapon to make the most effective use of your workday.
    [A]"Don’t try to plan on doing too many things," says McGonagle. "Assume that only 50% of the things you plan on doing today will actually get done. If you don’t, you’ll just waste valuable time trying to find out why things didn’t happen. "
    [B]"Be grateful for what goes right and learn from your mistakes," says Kurth. "Act as if they were scenes in a movie that you get to retake. "
    [C]For instance, Microsoft Business Contact Manager lets you organize a wide array of customer and product particulars, allowing quick and easy access. "Sticky notes are one of the worst things in the world," says McGonagle. "You should live by your database. That way, nothing is ever forgotten. "
    [D]"I’ve learned that saying no to one thing opens the door to saying yes to something else," says Kurth. "That can mean anything from cleaning my desk to getting a good night’s sleep. "
    [E]Part of effective time management is knowing when to shut things down. Turning off a cell phone or other wireless means of communication establishes boundaries. In short, it helps you balance your personal and professional time.
    [F]"Learn to ask questions that help you determine the level of urgency," says Krista Kurth, co-author of "Running on Plenty at Work". "Negotiate longer lead times whenever you can and don’t give into the ’instant-and-immediate answer’ syndrome. Treating everything as top priority is draining and depleting. "
    [G]"Everything in your business should be set up using logical systems so anyone needing anything can find it when they need it," says Peggy Duncan, an Atlanta-based personal productivity authority. "Eliminating clutter and the chaos it causes will give you a gift of 240 to 288 hours every year. "
【C3】
选项
答案D
解析 本段的主旨是要根据重要程度对需要做的事情进行安排，对无关紧要的事情学会说“不”。本题的关键词是“拒绝”。选项D则指出拒绝一方就等于同意另一方，在面对不同的选择时要学会拒绝。与前文相呼应，故为正确选项。
