IV 阅读理解(每小题2分,共24分)
I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.
57. The reason why the author hated to eat in the hotel restaurant is that the author didn’t like ______.
A. meeting strangers in the restaurant
B. being disturbed by the noises around
C. the discomfort caused by eating alone
D. being pointed at or laughed at
58. How did the waiter feel when he saw the author come in at 6:25?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Angry.
59. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ______.
A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurant
B. found it hard to balance his work and his family
C. was getting tired of his present job
D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries

Bill Jenkins worked in a big office in the city, and he used to go to the barber’s during working hours to have his hair cut, although this was against the rule: clerks (职员) had to have their hair cut in their own time.
While Bill was at the barber’s one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have his own hair cut. Bill saw him and tried to hide his face, but the manager found him.
“Hello, Jenkins,” the manager said, “ I see that you are having your hair cut in office time.”
“Yes, sir, I am,” admitted Bill calmly, “You see, sir, it grows in office time.”
“Not all of it,” said the manager at once, “some of it grows in your own time.”
“Yes, sir, but I’m not having it all cut off.”
52. Clerks in the office where Bill worked were ________.

53. Bill often went to have his hair cut during office hours because __________.
A. he didn’t have to wait long B. he had no idea of the office rule
C. he couldn’t be found by the manager

In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.
A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:
Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.
Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.
Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.
1.With a plan of action, you can ______.
A. work harder
B. do the wrong things more rapidly
C. avoid doing wrong things
D. get nowhere faster
2.Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.
A. waste a lot of time
B. find the things you need easily
C. become a top manager
D. save seven and a half hours per week
3.The text mainly tells us ______.
A. how to avoid wasting time
B. we should get our batteries all charged up
C. how important time management is
D. some time management mistakes

When my son was about five or six, I traveled a lot on business. I worried all the time about what the absence might mean to him. I knew how important it was for a boy to have his father near. When I was small, the times I loved most were the special moments I shared with my father. I cherished these special moments and, to this day, hold those memories dear. I decided to create those kinds of special times for my son.
In one of my letters home, I promised my son that I would teach him how to fly a kite and that we could go to a nearby beach and fly it as high as it would go. Through my travels I would pick up things for our kite adventure and send them to him. In my trip to Japan, I found the most beautiful blue silk with gold threads(线)woven through it. Perfect kite materials! I sent it home with a picture book that would serve as a weight.
When I got home at night, I found him sleeping sound, surrounded by all the items I had sent him for our kite. For the next week, we started to work on our masterpiece. We had our time together in the garage, after dinner. Finally, it was finished. The blue silk made it so beautiful. He was obviously eager to fly it soon. “We’ll fly it tomorrow, right, Dad?” “Yes, if the weather is right,” I explained that we needed wind to lift the kite off the ground. I was afraid that it might rain. “We’ll fly it because I’m going to pray with all my heart for the best kite weather.” He was right. I will never underestimate(低估)the power of a child’s prayer any more.
My son is a dad now, with children of his own. Though we are both busy, we still try to make time for each other. The other day, we met for coffee. While paying for our coffee, his wallet dropped on the ground and something fell out. Suddenly, a flood of memories washed over us as he put back his treasure into wallet—the blue silk with gold threads woven through it.

A. Giving special gifts. B. Spending time together.
C. Sending emails during the trip. D. Teaching a special skill.
