(2018.海口大成高级实验中学阅读短文，从后面选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项是多余的选项。 ___36___ She described all the things she had to do—one was to make her bed—from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. ___37___ Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years—and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.” ___38___ One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect. This story shows an important principle about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. ___39___ So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. ___40___ The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos. A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs. B. Above all, you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly. C. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own. D. However, she went along with my idea. E. Most people do not take time to relax themselves. F. The point is to do something for yourself every day. G. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. （2018.汕头
