问题     One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point clear, he used an illustration.
    As he stood in front of the group, he said, " Okay, time for a quiz. " He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he【C1】______ placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
    When the jar was filled to the【C2】______ and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, " Is this jar【C3】______ ?" Everyone in the class said, "Yes. "
    "Really?" Then he reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel(沙砾，石子) , dumped some in and【C4】______ the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space【C5】______ the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. " Probably not. " One of them answered. " Good!" he replied.
    He reached under the table and【C6】______ a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the【C7】______ left between the rocks and the gravel.【C8】______ he asked the question. " No!" the class shouted. " Good!" Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in【C9】______the jar was filled to the brim.
    Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" It is such a seemingly easy question that one【C10】______ student raised his hand and said, " It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always【C11】______ some more things in it.
    " No, " the speaker replied, " The truth it teaches us is that you will【C12】______ get them in at all if you don’ t put the big rocks in first.【C13】______ the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and value for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with【C14】______things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself what are the ’ big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your【C15】______ first. "
【C4】
选项 A、delivered
B、shook
C、dropped
D、held
答案B
解析 根据后面的句子“causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the…”可知使沙子漏下去了。deliver传送；shake摇晃；drop扔，丢；hold拿着，举着。只有摇晃能使罐子中的沙子漏下去，故选B。
