Many days seem to bring numerous tasks and responsibilities. All of which apparently must be tackled right away. You spend a day putting out files, but by the end of the day, you haven’t accomplished any of the really important things you set out to do. In desperation, you draft a to-do list, but most days, you can make little progress with it.
When you look at the list each morning, a big fat cloud of doom is right at the top. Those difficult, complex, important tasks, that are so crucial to get done, and so easy to avoid. Plenty of us create a to-do list to address feelings of being overwhelmed, but we rarely use these tools to their best effect. They wind out being guilt-provoking reminders of the fact that we’re over-committed and losing control of our priorities.
According to Timothy Pychyl, a professor of psychology at Carlton University in Ottawa, people often draw up a to-do list, and then that’s it. The list itself becomes the day’s achievement, allowing us to feel we’ve done something useful without taking on any real work. In fact, drawing up the list becomes a way of avoiding the work itself. Too often, the list is seen as the accomplishment for the day, reducing the immediate guilt of not working on the tasks at hand by investing energy in the list, says Pychyl. When a list is used like this, it’s simply another way in which we-lie to ourselves.
选项
A、Analyze them rationally.
B、Draw a detailed to-do list.
C、Tm to others for help.
D、Handle them one by one.
答案
B
解析
According to the speaker, what do many people do to cope with their daily tasks?
本题为考查转折关系及极端化表达。文中提到“You spend a day putting out files,but by the end of the day,you haven’t accomplished any of the really important things you set out to do.”(你花出一天时间来处理文件,但是在一天结束后,你发现你打算处理的真正重要的事情却一件都没有做),之后又提到“In desperation,you draft a to-do list,but most days,you can make little progress with it.”(在绝望中,你写下了一个“待完成”列表,但是大多数时间,你很难借由这个列表取得进展)。所以B项是正确答案。
