If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.
Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal(敘舊)with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities(優(yōu)先考慮的事)in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.
60.The author mainly discusses ______in this passage.
A.how to spend our spare time
B.how to balance friendship and work      
C.whether we should keep friendship
D.whether we should invite friends to dinner
61.Which of the following doesn’t indicate a good relationship?

B.You have someone to have close talks with.

D.You feel depressed with others in life.
62.What does the underlined word “delegated”(para.7)probably mean?
A.replaced           B.a(chǎn)ppointed       C.defeated   D.handled
63.The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that_____.

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

I’m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.

1. Take Care of Your Body

Life is “unfairly” biased(偏向的) towards people who “l(fā)ook good,” like it or not. So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best.    71   You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.

2.    72  

No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door”. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.

3. Think long-term.

In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. You have to think long-term; you have to see the “big picture.”   73 

4. Realize the Power of Focus

Focus, focus, focus…   74   If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions.   75  Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical to their goals.

A. The importance of saving.

B. If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.

C. Save Your Money.

D. Nothing is more critical than focus.

E. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goal.

F. I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.

G. It’s critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first.
