14.How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(36)AMany people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(37)GSome people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(38)FComplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.

点评 解题策略
1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案.在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案.
2)从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等.其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等.尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法.
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.
