Passage 1.

第一段。

So I started to think, guess what?

于是我开始思考，你猜怎么着？

Everybody's busy.

每个人都忙。

I'm busy, you're busy, everybody's busy.

我忙，你忙，每个人都忙。

So you being busy doesn't make me sympathetic at all, because busy is the state of the world.

所以你忙并不能让我产生任何同情，因为忙碌是这个世界的常态。

So I'm launching a campaign to stop people complaining about being busy.

所以我发起了一场运动，来阻止人们抱怨忙碌。

It may sound harsh, but the truth is nobody cares.

这听起来可能很刺耳，但事实是没人在乎。

In a busy world, being busy doesn't stand out, nor does it mean productive, creative, accomplished or professional.

在一个忙碌的世界里，忙碌并不突出，也不意味着高效、有创意、有成就或专业。

Steve Maraboli once said, When someone tells you they are too busy, it's not a reflection of their schedule, it's a reflection of your spot on their schedule.

史蒂夫·马拉博利曾说过，当有人告诉你他们太忙时，这并不是他们日程的反映，而是你在他日程中位置的反映。

Donna Lynn Hope has also remarked, Busy doesn't mean better.

唐娜·林恩·霍普也曾说过，忙碌并不意味着更好。

I have never envied a busy person, the one who likes to point out their busy lives to others.

我从未羡慕过一个忙碌的人，那种喜欢向别人指出自己忙碌生活的人。

The reality is nobody's too busy, it's just about priorities.

现实是，没人太忙，这只是优先级的问题。

So the next time someone asks you how you are, maybe respond differently.

所以下次有人问你过得怎么样时，也许可以换个方式回应。

In my experience, the I'm busy response is really covering up the fact that they're not actually accomplishing their real purpose.

根据我的经验，‘我很忙’的回应实际上掩盖了他们没有真正实现真正目的的事实。

And being busy is the lie they tell themselves about why they can't achieve it.

而忙碌是他们告诉自己为何无法实现的谎言。

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

问题16到18基于你刚才听到的段落。

Passage 2.

第二段。

More and more people are taking up extreme sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, mountain biking and many more.

越来越多的人开始从事极限运动，如单板滑雪、滑板、山地自行车等。

Why are these sports becoming so popular?

这些运动为何如此受欢迎？

One thing that extreme sports do better than perhaps anything else is to help you stop being afraid.

极限运动比其他任何活动都更能帮助你克服恐惧。

It may sound strange to say that their main function is to induce fear.

说它们的主要功能是引发恐惧，这听起来可能有些奇怪。

But after a time, your fear response to other things in life will be dramatically reduced.

但过一段时间后，你对生活中其他事物的恐惧反应将大幅减少。

After all, if you can jump out of a plane or off a bridge, then you can face anything else easily.

毕竟，如果你能跳出飞机或从桥上跳下，那么你就能轻松面对其他任何事情。

When doing extreme sports, you have to become more focused.

在从事极限运动时，你必须更加专注。

You'll be pushed to your limits, and if you aren't focused, you'll make dangerous mistakes.

你将被推到极限，如果不专注，就会犯下危险的错误。

Learning to be this focused when enjoying extreme sports will help you to be focused at work, keeping you more productive and ultimately more successful.

在享受极限运动时学会这种专注，将有助于你在工作中保持专注，提高效率，最终更加成功。

It's great to stay fit and healthy, but standard exercise routines and sports only work the same muscles repeatedly.

保持健康是好事，但标准锻炼和运动只是反复锻炼相同的肌肉。

With extreme sports, you'll be working entirely different muscles, and that means you get an all-over workout.

而在极限运动中，你会锻炼完全不同的肌肉，这意味着你能进行全身锻炼。

Extreme sports also burn a lot more calories than other sports.

极限运动也能比其他运动消耗更多热量。

Skateboarding, for example, can burn as many as 500 calories per hour.

例如，滑板每小时可以消耗高达500卡路里。

Basketball burns around 300 in the same time.

而篮球在同一时间内大约消耗300卡路里。

When you find that you can overcome the physical or mental challenges involved in extreme sports, you'll feel superhuman, and your self-confidence will be at an all-time high.

当你发现自己能克服极限运动中的身体或心理挑战时，你会感到超人般的强大，自信心将达到前所未有的高度。

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

问题19至21基于你刚刚听到的文章。

Question 19. What may sound strange to say about extreme sports?

Question 20. Why should one be highly focused when doing extreme sports?

Passage 3.

段落3。

Most of us have been in teams or organisations where we've had conflict with the people that we're working with around the ideas or decisions that we're discussing.

我们大多数人曾在团队或组织中与共事者围绕讨论的想法或决定发生冲突。

Conflict is natural.

冲突是自然的。

We all bring different life and work experiences to the table.

我们都带来不同的生活和工作经验。

We all have different personality preferences and tendencies.

我们都有不同的性格偏好和倾向。

We're not all going to have the same ideas on how to approach policies, programmes or problems.

我们并非都会对如何处理政策、项目或问题持有相同想法。

But too often, we get caught in this place where conflict is perceived to be negative, something we want to avoid so that we can maintain the harmony of our workplace.

但太多时候，我们陷入冲突被视为负面、我们想要避免以维持工作场所和谐的境地。

This could be because some people want to avoid conflict at all costs.

这可能是因为有些人不惜一切代价想要避免冲突。

After all, they still have to work together.

毕竟，他们仍需共事。

But this kind of artificial harmony isn't the answer.

但这种人为的和谐并非解决之道。

Productive conflict is a vital part of teams and organisations that want to push forward and do more.

建设性的冲突是希望前进并做得更多的团队和组织的重要组成部分。

Without conflict, we're often stuck in this artificial harmony where people don't express potentially innovative ideas for fear that they may start conflict with others.

没有冲突，我们常常陷入人为的和谐，人们因害怕引发冲突而不表达潜在的创新想法。

But if you're in a place where you have a basis of trust, conflict can be extremely productive.

但如果你处在一个有信任基础的环境中，冲突可以极具建设性。

It can lead to increased innovation and greater trust on teams.

它能带来更多的创新和团队中更大的信任。

It may be an uncomfortable process, but good leaders and healthy teams recognise that productive and healthy conflict is an important part of how they function.

这可能是一个不舒服的过程，但优秀的领导者和健康的团队认识到，建设性的冲突是他们运作方式的重要组成部分。
