Question

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 

          People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the important ones. 

          One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to assess progress. Not only is this an effective way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the word day with uncertainly over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to serious problem in mental and physical health.

Tạm dịch: “They get tied down by trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the important ones. One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily” – (Họ bị rằng buộc bởi những vấn đề nhỏ và mất thời gian, và không bao giờ hoàn thành được những công việc quan trọng. Một giải pháp đơn giản thường được họ sử dụng nhiều nhất đó là lên danh sách các công việc cần được hoàn thành vào mỗi ngày).
