　　今天带来的听力是非常成功人士的5个习惯，同学们可以学习一下~

　　[00:00.00] From VOA Learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.

　　[00:05.67] Having success and being able to meet one’s goals requires knowledge, a sense of direction, hard work and resources.

　　[00:17.52] Some people might add to that list luck, connections and perhaps a strong belief in yourself.

　　[00:28.19] We accomplish our goals one step at a time, doing a little each day.

　　[00:36.27] So, using your day effectively is important.

　　[00:41.15] On many websites -- from Forbes magazine and Fast Company to health and physical fitness sites -- productivity experts share advice on how to achieve your career and life goals.

　　[00:58.78] Most of the experts agree on one thing: Starting your day on the right foot is most important.

　　[01:09.11] Collected from these websites, here are five ideas on how to start your day off right.

　　[01:19.05] 1. Get up an hour early.

　　[01:22.63] People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day.

　　[01:29.72] For starters, they’re awake!

　　[01:32.92] And some studies show that our willpower and attention span are strongest in the morning.

　　[01:41.29] In fact, the morning may be the most productive part of your day.

　　[01:47.01] In American English, we like to say, “The early bird gets the worm.”

　　[01:53.51] Here, if you’re a bird, the worm is the reward.

　　[01:58.82] So, this expressions means that people who rise up early have a head start and, therefore, are more likely to succeed.

　　[02:10.34] Inventor, philosopher and writer Benjamin Franklin would probably agree.

　　[02:17.27] Americans like to use Franklin’s memorable expressions.

　　[02:23.45] One of them is “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

　　[02:32.19] Of course, there are exceptions.

　　[02:36.25] People who are “night owls” do their best work and their best thinking at night.

　　[02:44.16] 2. Drink a glass of water with lemon juice.

　　[02:50.39] While your coffee is being prepared or waiting for your tea water to heat up, drink a glass of water with lemon juice.

　　[03:02.63] Why? Health experts say that drinking a combination of lemon juice and water first thing in the morning jump-starts the body’s metabolism.

　　[03:15.96] Not only does it jump start your body’s cells, but this kind of drink keeps them moving throughout the day.

　　[03:27.21] 3. Don’t answer email or jump into social media as soon as you get up.

　　[03:35.30] Your coffee or tea is ready.

　　[03:39.06] So, you decide to look at your email quickly or open up your Facebook account.

　　[03:46.76] Well, don’t.

　　[03:48.08] This is a great way to forget about the day ahead.

　　[03:52.86] We’ve all done it.

　　[03:55.62] You see a Facebook post from a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.

　　[04:01.47] He is angry about some political issue and the heated discussion pulls you in.

　　[04:09.25] Before you know it, an hour has passed, you’re angry with lawmakers and it’s not even nine in the morning yet!

　　[04:19.64] You hurry out the door so as not to be late for work.

　　[04:24.28] This is not the best way to start your day.

　　[04:28.92] 4. Exercise!

　　[04:33.32] Some people may disagree with this one.

　　[04:37.29] Exercising in the morning may not be for everyone.

　　[04:42.02] Some people like to exercise after work or at night.

　　[04:47.74] Physical fitness experts and trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for most people.

　　[05:02.12] By the day’s end, you may not have the time or energy to exercise.

　　[05:08.04] How many times have you finished work and said to yourself, “I’m too tired to exercise! I’ll do it tomorrow.”

　　[05:17.68] Exercising in the morning prevents that from happening.

　　[05:22.68] 5. Think about your day ... at night.

　　[05:28.43] Meditate, visualize -- whatever you call it -- take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that have happened.

　　[05:40.87] Give thanks, if you want.

　　[05:43.76] And spend a little time to think about tomorrow.

　　[05:47.92] Some people who talk about “living in the present” may criticize this.

　　[05:54.20] But it may you help to prepare if you take a few minutes to think about what you need to do the next day.

　　[06:04.21] Also, know that your day will probably change.

　　[06:08.57] You probably won’t have time to do everything you planned.

　　[06:12.30] But that’s fine. If you did one thing, that means you are one step closer in reaching one of your goals.

　　[06:22.24] And if you follow this advice, at least you’ve already gotten your exercise out of the way!

　　[06:30.39] And that’s the Health & Lifestyle report.

　　听力小技巧

　　1. 有数字的题：在听数字时，听到的第一个数字往往不是答案，答案是在第二个或经过运算而得出的。有些题需要你用加法、减法或乘法运算之后才能得出答案。

　　2. 对话时第二个人重复第一个的话时，有两种可能：一种表示反对，一种表示强调。

　　3. 常识推理。选项中有时会有不用听说话内容就能进行判断的错误选项，学生可以根据自身所了解的知识或生活常识进行排除。

　　听力应试技巧是建立在平时“多读、多听、多说”的基础上的，所以还是要求学生有扎实的英语基本功，有较丰富的词汇量及较多的英语短语储备。
