【简答题】
完形填空。
One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the
point1, 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 he2 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the3 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, 'Is this jar4 ?'
Everyone in the class said, 'Yes.'
'Really?' Then he5 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel (沙砾,石子), dumped some
in and6 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space7 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 and8 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it
went into all left between the rocks and the gravel.10 he asked the question. 'No!' the class
shouted. 'Good!' Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in11 the jar was filled to the
brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, 'What is the12 of this
illustration?' It is such a seemingly easy question that one13 student raised his hand and said, 'It is,
however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always14 some more things in it.'
'No,' the speaker replied, 'The truth it teaches us is that you will15 get them in at all if you don't put
the big rocks in first.16 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and17 for yourself.
In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you'll fill your life with18 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 are19 on this short story, ask yourself what are the 'big rocks' in your life? Then put those in
your20 first.'
