1.解析:选G 根据上文“When a week flies by quickly, maybe you can't help asking yourself, “What did I do last week Where did the time go” Life seems to be out of control and soon, before we know it, we'll become old and wonder what we've achieved.(当一周飞快地过去时,也许你会忍不住问自己:“上周我做了什么?时间都去哪儿了?”生活似乎失去了控制,很快,在我们意识到这一点之前,我们就会变老,并想知道我们取得了什么)”结合后文介绍了规划生活的方法,故G选项“事实上,如果我们学会规划生活中的每一周,我们都能拥有一个成功的人生”符合语境,故选G。
2.解析:选B 根据上文“The first thing you should do is write down what is most important to you in your life. For example, what are your deepest values(你应该做的第一件事是写下你生活中最重要的东西。 例如,你最重视的是什么?)”以及后文“What do you imagine yourself being and doing 10 years from now(你想象10年后自己是什么样子,在做什么事?)”可知,本句与前后文并列,都是在就生活中最重要的东西进行设问。故B选项“是什么让你每天都充满希望?”符合语境,故选B。

What's more, make sure that you understand things will come up suddenly.(把它们都写在你的日程表里。重要的是,你已经制定了适当的计划,比如去杂货店或为你的工作或学习做一些事情。更重要的是,确保你明白事情会突然出现)”可知,本句是在说明制定计划的过程,后文them指代F选项中considering what needs to get done。故F选项“在家里一个安静的地方坐下来,考虑需要做些什么”符合语境,故选F。
4.解析:选E 根据后文“You'd better print out your schedule and make it able to be seen throughout the week. Furthermore, at the end of each day, think of what you enjoyed doing. This will help you be thankful to each day and finally live a more meaningful life.(你最好把你的日程表打印出来,让大家都能看到。此外,在每天结束的时候,想想你喜欢做什么。这将帮助你感激每一天,并最终活得更有意义)”可知,后文提到把日程表打印出来,让大家都能看到,可见是在建议要时常回顾自己的计划,故E选项“一旦你制定了一个计划,每天都去看看是很重要的”符合语境,故选E。
5.解析:选A 根据上文“In a word, when you are at work, be at work.(总之,当你在工作的时候,专心工作)”以及后文“To live a successful life, you have to stay focused on what is in front of you!(想要成功的生活,你必须专注于你面前的一切!)”可知,上文假设的情景是工作,后文则提到专注眼前,即处在什么样的状态,就专心于什么,上文提到工作,本句应当是提到在家的时候,故A选项“当你在家的时候,请不要拘束”符合语境,故选A。
