【主题阅读】

一、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point    1     , 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 he    2   placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.

When the jar was filled to the   3   and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar _4 _?” Everyone in the class said , “Yes.”

“Really?” Then he   5   under the table and pulled out a bucket of" gravel(沙砾,石子), dumped some in and   6   the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space   7   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 and 8 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the   9   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 in   11   the jar was filled to the brim.

Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the    12_ of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one  13 student

raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always  14  some more things in it.”

“No,” the speaker replied,“The truth it teaches us is that you will  15    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 and   17   for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you'll fill your life with 18 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 are   19   on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your _ 20_ first.”
