(2012·长郡一模)One day, an expert in timemanagement was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point __1__, he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a widemouth jar and set it on the table. Then he carefully placed about a dozen fistsized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the __2__ and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar __3__?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
“Really?” Then he reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel(沙砾,石子), dumped some in and __4__ the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.
He reached under the table and __5__ a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. __6__ he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim.

In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you'll fill your life with __11__ things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff.
