单选题If you work under a car when repairing it, you often get very _____.A waxyB slipperyC stickyD greasy

资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But l've also learned that if you don't have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they'll simply never get done. And that means you won't make the progress that's really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it. You aren't cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead are likely certain times when you are at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That's normal. Maybe for you, it's bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrive in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identity that when you feel your most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion-it isn't optional. That way you're guaranteed to have a regular, designed period when you can at least on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it's the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first-we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and forces if you're going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods l've found is to put physical barriers between us. I'll work from a conference room or even from home on accession in order to get some literal space from people needing "just one quick thing. "

What can be inferred from paragraph 3 ?

A.You have to be readily available in the office.
B.People cannot work in a vacuum.
C.People in the office love helping others.
D.Sometimes we have to decline colleagues' requests.

Harmless Revenge

Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just the
same,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-
tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can
provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.
Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive
to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that
leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all
be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and
will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male
or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave
a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend
will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won't leave his home for a month.
When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be
just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal
begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to
eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is,
point to a raisin and yell,"Bugs!"They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car,and head for
McDonald'a.That night,you'll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.
A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone.The object is simply to let other people know that
they are beginning to bother you.

As a harmless revenge,you might come first and get a raise by________.
A:making your colleagues come late
B:getting up earlier than your colleagues
C:destroying your colleagues' cars
D:pleasing your boss

You cannot be__________careful when you drive a car.

A.very
B.so
C.too
D.enough
