Question

When you are an entrepreneur (企業家) ，there is always something to do when it comes to starting and running a business. As a chief cook and a bottle washer,the challenge is how to choose the most important one to treat in a workday.

For the new year,below are a few tried-and-true measures,plus a few new ones.

1. Take time to focus on the day.

It's hard to stay focused once the day gets started,so it is key to schedule a few minutes a day to just be quiet and focus on what needs to be done. Quiet time in the morning is a good way to start the day. Hot yoga is a great way to still my mind and focus.

2. Review your goals of the day.

Think about and commit to paper or document digitally the goals you want to accomplish that day or in the next week. I'm a big believer in creating a todo list. My team starts with a list I call "The week ahead" where I outline the things to be accomplished for the week.

To be more organized,taking notes on a Postit is one way,but there are many electronic organizer options. As you complete each task,mark it off the list. It's a great way to see how much progress you make in a day,a week or a month.

3. Stay up to date on your industry.

While it is important to stay up to date on the current events around the world,it is just as important to stay up to date on the current events in your industry. Read at least one article related to your business. Follow a publication so that its latest information comes up on your timeline.

4.         .

Check your website and all your social media buttons daily and make sure they are operating properly. Nothing is worse than a potential client trying to find you online and your site is down. If you have a blog,try to write anywhere from two to three times a week―a way for your customers to know your brand. Meanwhile,glance over other people's blogs,and if you like what you read,then share it on dif?ferent socialmedia platforms.

5. Connect and reconnect to your network.

With everyone concentrating on staying connected via the social media,it is good once in a while to pick up the phone and say hello. Spend a few minutes on the phone setting up a time to meet for coffee or lunch. If you've been to conferences,met a few people and collected business cards,then reach out to those people again.

I haven't used them strictly,but I plan to in 2015.

本文是一篇說明文。作者敘述了自己打算在2015年每天都要做的事情，其中一些早已經過實踐的檢驗，還有幾項是新舉措，從而成為一名更好的創業者。

1. D細節理解題。結合下文的"…the challenge is how to choose the most important one to treat in a workday."可知作者的用意是要強調分清主次，故選   D.

2. C推理判斷題。結合上文的"Think about and commit to paper or document digitally the goals…”和下文的"…but there are many electronic organizer options."可知?Postit應該是一種紙質的便利貼，故選(：。

3. C段落大意題。第四點主要是說"每天檢查你的網站和所有社交媒體按鈕""如果你有博客，盡量每周更新兩至三次" "閱讀其他人的博客"。由此可知第四點的主題是"使用社交媒體"。故選C項。

4. B細節理解題。結合第五點可知要想擴大社交圈，就應該同別人保持聯系，故選B項。
