51  Many things can become distractions (分散注意力). Your ability to focus your mind, emotions, and physical movements will directly influence your success. Staying focused on the task at hand can be easier said than done. Here are some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus.

    For physical control, it helps to have a constant exercise schedule.   52   Exercising helps you gain better command of your body, and even goes beyond the body, giving you more flexibility not just physically but also emotionally and mentally.  When you feel more comfortable in your body, you increase your self-confidence, which helps you feel more relaxed.

For mental control, meditation (沉思；冥想) does the task.     53     It' s easy to get distracted by things in your background, but in order to perform well you have to maintain a high degree of focus. When you relax your thoughts it trains your mind to deal effectively with outside distractions so you can stay centered on what matters most at the moment.

54   It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting. When your emotions settle down, you gain greater awareness of the environment you' re in, and feel calm and in control.

  55   The good thing is that self-control can be developed.  Start exercising frequently, get yourself into meditation, and start to feel positive changes in your career and your life in general.

Answer 1

51--55 FBCEA

解析:

51．答案：P。開門見山，直接引出相關話題“focus”，強調它的重要性。填入F項Focus is an important part of success and achievement in general．進而引出本篇中心話題“some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus”。

52.答案：B。本段介紹第一個技巧physical exercises。上文是For physical control，讓 helps to have a constant exercise schedule．下文為Exercising helps you gain better command of you body...。填入B項There　are　many　benefits of exercising．“benefits"與上下文中的兩個“help"遙相呼應。

53．答案：C。本段介紹第二個技巧meditation。填入G項It helps block out all the noise and activities that are going on around you．與上文為“For mental control，meditation does the task�！背蔀橐惑w。

54．答案：E。上文是meditation對mental control所起的作用，填入E項Your emotions are well served by meditation as well．引出meditation對emotions的影響。既能承接上文又能與下文It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting．意思連貫，起到承上啟下的作用。   

55．答案：A。該短文的最后一段起到總結的功能，A項中的“In short”為典型的總結性的開頭語，“self-control"又與下文The good thing is that self-control can be developed．形成呼應。
