Script:

One day an expert on the subject of time management was speaking to a group of business

students and, to stress a point, used an illustration I'm sure those students will never forget. After I

share it with you, you'll never forget it either.

As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for

a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he

produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.

When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar

full?"

Everyone in the class said, "Yes."

Then he said, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then

he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down

into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar

full?" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he

replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the

sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the little stones. Once more he

asked the question, "Is this jar full?"

"No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and

began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked,

"What is the point of this illustration?"

One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is,

if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!"

"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you

don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."

Scripts:

Throughout the day, energy rises and falls. At its peak, you're likely to perform 30 to 40

percent faster and more accurately, than at its lowest, says Lynne Lamberg. So by synchronizing

your schedule with your natural energy supply ,it will help you use it more efficiently.

She also says, alertness is highest and concentration the most and early

afternoon—the best time to crunch numbers or write a report. You should dive into the hardest

tasks first, and your extend high-energy mornings with a late lunch. Many people are still going

strong until 1 or , so why break the momentum?

During mid-afternoon, you might attend to some routine tasks, such as paying bills or sorting

through a pile of junk mail. Work that involves physical activity, such as running down the hall to

-

photocopy a memo, or talking to other people (that includes phone calls)—will keep your energy

level from dropping way down.

When full alertness returns—around —you might do a few small projects that give you

a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Send off an important letter. Or plan and prioritize

for the next day.

The dark side of your cycle is equally important: For daylong energy we need a good night's

sleep. On average, Americans get about seven-and-one-half hours, although some need more and

others get by on less. We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock

and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.

Listening 3

Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments

natural resources cities nuclear war

Ex2: T F T T F

Script:

(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers? Does the news always seem bad? To many

people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London. Unlike many

scientists, he believes that the world will be a better place in the future. His book, What a

Wonderful Life, will be on sale, and Globe sent Reporter Catherine Brown to talk to him. Here is

part of their conversation.)

Catherine Brown: What changes will we see in the next few years?

Alexander Dubois: Today, work is the most important part of many people's lives.

In the future, machines will do much of our work. This means

that we'll have more time to think about how to live happily.

Catherine Brown: What developments will there be in medical science?

Alexander Dubois: The day will come when we will eliminate killer diseases such

as diphtheria and typhoid. Also, there will be fewer babies

born with birth defects because doctors will be able to operate

on children before they are born.

Catherine Brown: And what about natural resources? Will there be an adequate

supply of coal, oil and gas?

Alexander Dubois: Of course! Research shows that there are sufficient resources

for the next 20,000 years within one kilometer of the earth's

surface.

Catherine Brown: Will cities continue to grow and become more and more

overcrowded?

Alexander Dubois: No, they won't. People will return to smaller communities

where they can really know their neighbors and participate in

community life.

Catherine Brown: Aren't you worried about the possibility of nuclear war?

Alexander Dubois: Yes, I am. I expect there will be a nuclear war in the future,

but it won't end our world. Life will continue.
