原文
I have worked with so many people over the years that have made me wonder how on earththey can work at their desk when everything that was in their drawers and in their filingcabinets has ended up in piles on top of their keyboard. One co-worker of mine couldn'tremember what clour the top of his desk was! J had tosay something. but when J did, he toldme that he knew where everything was and needed all that paperwork for different projects hewas working on.
Some study suggests that about 15% of our time is wasted on looking for misplaced files andpaperwork at the office. People gel really defensive when you tell them that their desk is amess. They say that they don't have time to clean up. as they are too busy. And if they wouldfile certain items they would forger cowork on it and would therefore miss the deadline.
Hence. first things first. get yourself some folders and a black marker. Take every piece of paperon yourdesk one by one and file them. Make sure that everything you need to do with thesepapers is written down on a "to-do" list or even better in your computer organiser. For example.if you have to work on your budget next Monday, write down "work on budget" in yourcomputer organiser so that when Monday comes, your computer will send you a reminder thatyou need co work on your budget today. Then file that paper in a folder named "budget". Putthat folder away-not on your desk!! But in your filing cabinet. Proceed this way with every bitof information that clutters your desk. Do not get distracted by a form that reminds you thatyou need to do something. Instead. jot it down on your "to-do" list or in your organiser. Youwon't forget it as it has been written down. File it and move on. Keep focused. Only do onething at a time for the moment and that is to organise and clean your desk.

A*** 桌面的顏色這樣的事情太瑣碎，很難記得住
B*** 人們總是忙於辦公室工作
C*** 人們總是亂放文具
D*** 雜亂無章的辦公室讓人無法忍受
[C]題幹是首段第2句的內容，是針對該段首句“抽屜及檔案櫃裡的東西最終在他們的鍵盤上堆積成山”的進一步形象說明，可見作者以此暗示“人們總是胡亂堆放文具”，因此C為本題答案。
2. 作者最可能跟同事說什麼?
A*** 作者告訴他要將不必要的文書工作擺在一邊。
B*** 作者讓他把正在做的文書工作紿自己。
C***作者建議他要記得東西擺放的地方。
D*** 作者建議他做事情要一件一件地來。
[A]根據首段末句那位同事的回答可以推斷作者對他說的內容應該是：整理辦公桌，把不必要的檔案文具清理乾淨，由此可見，本題應選A。本段主要針對“亂七八糟的辦公桌”這個話題，B、D都與此主題無關，不能選;C與主題關係不密切，也不能選。
3. 有些人認為留在桌面上的檔案_____________。
A*** 有電腦的作用
B*** 是一個專案的副產品
C*** 提醒自己還有什麼工作要做
D*** 證明了他們的工作有多麼忙
[C]第2段末句中的if...they would forget表明有些人把檔案堆放在桌面上以防忘記要做的事，因此本題應選C。A.B均無原文依據;D中的busy一詞在第2段倒數第2句提及，但這一句與下一句沒有邏輯上的因果關係，故不能選。
4. 一個“預算”資料夾是用來___________。
A*** 儲存“待做事情”清單的
B*** 記錄已經做了的事情的
C*** 記錄公司的預算
D***儲存對未來的工作任務有用的東西
[D]末段提到了整理桌面檔案的步驟，還舉了具體的例子，如要做預算報告，先將任務記錄在計算機整理器中，然後將資料歸人“budget"檔案，以備今後使用，因此，budget收藏的是在將來可能有用的資料，即D項所述。
5. 作者認為，眼下最重要的事情是_________________。
A*** 分類辦公室工作的優先順序
B*** 將文書工作歸檔來整理辦公桌面
C*** 把注意力敢在正在做的事情上面
D*** 不要再把所有東西都堆在桌面上
