InformationFlag questionInformation textWork Smarter, Not HarderWe all have too much work to do and too little time to do it. Managing your time is a challenge, but the secret is to work smarter not harder.First, know when to work. When are you most awake? When are you sleepy? Some people work better at night, others first thing in the morning. You should do creative work or complicated work when you are at your best. When you’re not at your best, you should do jobs which don’t need a lot of thinking, like reading emails or calling a colleague.Second, eat and sleep well to work well. Have you ever had a large lunch and felt so sleepy that you couldn’t think? It’s better to eat small amounts of food several times a day than to eat two or three large meals. A large meal at night can have a bad effect on your sleep quality and on your ability to think. It’s important to not only get enough sleep but to also get good quality sleep.Exercise is important too. In fact, exercising can make you feel more awake than having a cup of coffee. In addition, exercise makes you feel happier, and happy people work better!Finally, do the right work at the right time. Certain experts say you should do your most difficult piece of work first. After you’ve finished that, you’ll feel ready to do almost any other job on your to-do list. But other experts say the opposite; they suggest starting with something simple. Doing that will make you feel successful and ready to do your next job.Question 72Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.25Flag questionQuestion text5.1) What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text?Multiple choice 1 Question 72To help busy people organize their work better.To help people work harder to earn more money.To explain how people can become more intelligent.To say how food can make us feel sleepy.5.2) According to the writer, the best time to do more difficult work is …... .Multiple choice 2 Question 72after taking on more difficult physical tasks. early in the day after a good night’s sleeplate in the evening when it is quietdifferent for each person5.3) What may be the result of eating large meals?Multiple choice 3 Question 72You can sleep better at night.It helps you think.You can't think well.It can help you focus more.5.4) What does the writer say about exercise?Multiple choice 4 Question 72You must do it in the morning.He likes to do it after drinking coffee.It can have a positive effect on how people feel.It must be done at a specific time of the day. 5.5) When selecting which job to do, the main thing is …... .Multiple choice 5 Question 72to decide quickly and beginto do something that is not easyto choose a simple taskto choose something you like to do
