Getting ahead is as simple as tidying your desk.According to a leading expert, having a cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind, but the act of tidying up can help you be more successful. The advice comes from Jayne Morris, the residentlife coach for NHS Online, who said it is no good just moving the mess around. In order to clear the mind, unwanted items must be thrown away to free your inner world, she said.Ms Morris, who claims to have coached celebrities to major business figures, said:“Clearing clutter from your desk has the power to transform your business. How? Because clutter in your outer environment is the physical sign of all the clutter going on inside of you. Clearing clutter has a chain effect across your entire life, including your work. Having an untidy desk covered in clutter could be stopping you achieving the business success you want. She is sure cleaning up will be helpful even though some of historys biggest achievers lived and worked in messy conditions.Churchill was considered untidy from a boy throughout his life, from his office to his artists studio,and the lab where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin was famously untidy.Among the recommendations is that simply tidying a desk at work and an overflowing filing cabinet(陈列柜) will instantly have a positive impact on your inner world. Anything that is no longer used should not be put into storage but thrown away completely.Keeping something in the loft, garage or other part of the house, does not help because it is still connected to the person by tiny energetic li.nes, Ms Morris. claims.She said, The things in your life that are useful to you, that add value to your life, that serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy that refreshes you and enriches your life. But the things that you dont ever use and dont need anymore have the opposite effect on your energy.Things that no longer fit or serve you, use up your energy. 18 .

According to Ms Morris, an untidy desk probably means thatAyou are quite a failureByou are in a messy mindCyou are toe tired to deal with itDyou have achieved the business success21 . Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ALess untidy, more successful.BHow to improve your inner world.CCleaning up makes you less intelligent.DBeing bigger achiever needs more effortNowadays there are different ideas about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social development. However, others say that competition is bad and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death events. In their mind what they really want is going for success, the development of many other qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost on the way to success, others take an opposite opinion. Many people are strongly against competition. Among them, most are young people who have suffered from such pressure from their parents. They seem to look for failure by not trying to win or achieve success. _, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” They dont want to admit（承认）that if they have really tried and lost, they would mean more.Clearly, this belief(信念) is the same as that of those who try to prove（证明）themselves. Both come from the wrong belief that self-confidence depends on how well one does by comparing with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. If such fear begins to be unimportant, we can have a better knowledge of competition.22 . For some people who like competition, winning is really_.AtroublesomeBunfriendlyCimportantDopposite23 .
