51  Many things can become distractions (分散注意力). Your ability to focus your mind, emotions, and physical movements will directly influence your success. Staying focused on the task at hand can be easier said than done. Here are some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus.

    For physical control, it helps to have a constant exercise schedule.   52   Exercising helps you gain better command of your body, and even goes beyond the body, giving you more flexibility not just physically but also emotionally and mentally.  When you feel more comfortable in your body, you increase your self-confidence, which helps you feel more relaxed.

For mental control, meditation (沉思；冥想) does the task.     53     It' s easy to get distracted by things in your background, but in order to perform well you have to maintain a high degree of focus. When you relax your thoughts it trains your mind to deal effectively with outside distractions so you can stay centered on what matters most at the moment.

54   It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting. When your emotions settle down, you gain greater awareness of the environment you' re in, and feel calm and in control.

  55   The good thing is that self-control can be developed.  Start exercising frequently, get yourself into meditation, and start to feel positive changes in your career and your life in general.

A. In short, focus requires self-control.

B. There are many benefits of exercising.

C. Generally speaking, you need to practise a lot.

D. There are still some disadvantages of exercises.

E. Your emotions are well served by meditation as well.

F. Focus is an important part of success and achievement in general.

G. It helps block out all the noise and activities that are going on around you.

Answer 1

51--55 FBCEA

解析:

51．答案：P。开门见山，直接引出相关话题“focus”，强调它的重要性。填入F项Focus is an important part of success and achievement in general．进而引出本篇中心话题“some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus”。

52.答案：B。本段介绍第一个技巧physical exercises。上文是For physical control，让 helps to have a constant exercise schedule．下文为Exercising helps you gain better command of you body...。填入B项There　are　many　benefits of exercising．“benefits"与上下文中的两个“help"遥相呼应。

53．答案：C。本段介绍第二个技巧meditation。填入G项It helps block out all the noise and activities that are going on around you．与上文为“For mental control，meditation does the task。”成为一体。

54．答案：E。上文是meditation对mental control所起的作用，填入E项Your emotions are well served by meditation as well．引出meditation对emotions的影响。既能承接上文又能与下文It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting．意思连贯，起到承上启下的作用。   

55．答案：A。该短文的最后一段起到总结的功能，A项中的“In short”为典型的总结性的开头语，“self-control"又与下文The good thing is that self-control can be developed．形成呼应。
