六级标准听力测试模拟一Section B答案解析(3)

　　Passage Three

　　Through the years of being an advisor at the university, I’ve often been requested to give suggestions about how to handle “information anxiety”. Now let me give you some advice. First of all, what is “information anxiety”? Well, as you know, we are bombarded daily by books, magazines, newspapers, television, and radio. We are hit with bills, letters, and reports. All of this can cause quite a lot of anxiety. It’s because we are living in the “information age” that we get this bombardment of information everyday. So today let me give you some organizing tips that should make your life easier.

　　First of all, when you get your mail, open it and sort it right away. Get rid of all junk inserts, and then sort the mail into four categories: to do, to pay, to read, and to file.

　　Be realistic about your reading. Check the magazines you subscribe to on a regular basis. If you find yourself falling behind in your reading, let some of those subscriptions go. And if you are one of those people who like to clip out articles to read later, then do some screening first and be sure to clip only the most important articles for reading later.

　　You should have a filing system, but don’t use your files as a dumping ground. Make it a rule to clean out your files and papers at least once a year, more often if possible.

　　Spend five or ten minutes each day cleaning up your desk and prioritizing your work for the next day. The following day will get off to a much better start if your desk is organized and you are not faced with overwhelming piles of paper. Don’t use the top of your desk as a storage area. It should be a work area, with plenty of room to work.

　　Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　33. According to the speaker, what should the listeners do when they first get their mail?

　　【解析】选[A]。根据文中的First of all, when you get your mail, open it and sort it right away可知，speaker建议listeners一收到邮件便马上进行分类整理，选项[A]正确。

　　34. What should people do with their magazine subscriptions?

　　【解析】选[D]。文中提到，If you find yourself falling behind in your reading, let some of those subscriptions go。本句是说如果订的东西没有时间看，就应该放弃订阅其中的一些，选项[D]与此相符，为答案。

　　35. How often does the speaker suggest that the listeners clean out their files?

　　【解析】选[C]。根据文中的Make it a rule to clean out your files and papers at least once a year可知，本题答案为[C]，即至少要一年整理一次文件。
