Use the text below to answer the question.                                                                                   You can’t predict everything. Even when you give yourself extra time, some tasks might take longer than planned. Unexpected events can come up and slow you down. Your bike could break on your way to pick up your sister, or you might misplace the notes you need to finish your homework. It’s important to have a schedule and to stick to it whenever you can. It’s also important to be flexible when you need to. Be ready to change and adjust your plan so that a small surprise doesn’t disrupt your whole day.                                                                                    According to the passage, you should have a plan
a)

but be ready to change it if needed.

only when you need to pick up your sister.

6.
Use the text below to answer the question.Time management isn’t just about planning to get tasks done; it’s about doing them! To be productive, try to avoid distractions and focus on the task at hand. If you’re doing homework, for example, stay away from your phone. That way you can fully concentrate. It might be tempting to multi-task, or do more than one thing at the same time. But research has found that people who regularly multi-task can’t recall information or pay attention as well as those who complete one task at a time.Which of these people is multi-tasking?
a)
Suzanne finishes washing and drying the dishes. Then she calls her father.
b)
Elmo is studying for his math test at his desk.
c)
James is writing his teacher an email while talking to his friend on the phone.
d)
Vivi takes a walk around her neighborhood before dinner.
7.
After you list all your tasks and estimate how long each task will take, you need to prioritize and rank things in order of importance. Which tasks matter the most? There many things to consider. You might think about your goals for the future. Maybe you want to beat your personal record at your next swim meet. That means you’ll have to practice a lot. You might also consider deadlines. When is that swim meet? This week? If so, you’d want to give swim practice priority over something that isn’t quite as soon or a task that won’t help you reach a personal goal.Prioritizing is about balance. Not everything has to help you accomplish a goal. And just because a goal is long-term, doesn’t mean you should forget about it. “Pencil things into” your schedule for the future, so you don’t lose sight of fun events or long-term goals.Which of these can help you prioritize your tasks?
a)

your goals

b)

deadlines

c)

fun events

d)

all of the above

8.
Another way to prioritize is to think about the consequences, or the effects, of your behavior. What might happen if you don’t spend time on a certain task? For example, what if you don’t spend enough time studying for a geography test? You might get a bad grade on the test, which will affect your overall grade for the class. What if you don’t spend a half-hour playing video games after school? You might miss out on your gaming time, but there probably won’t be any other significant consequences. Thinking through the possible outcomes can help you determine what’s most important to get done first.Which of these questions would you ask yourself when considering the consequences of your behavior?
a)

What would happen if I skipped baseball practice?

b)

How long will baseball practice be today?

c)

Who is coming to baseball practice?

d)

What time is baseball practice?
