4. Paragraph 5____
(Think of your filing system not as a rigid1 tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs.) A good filing system is both mentally and physically2 flexible. (Everyone’s needs are different, says Denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: “where would I look for this?”) Create main headings for your filing system, such as Investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth3, and file individual folders4 under the main headings. Never overstuff your files.
4.C. 分析:段落中反复出现的filing system暗示答案选项应该是B或C,而段落的第2句话:A good filing system is both mentally and physically flexible.(一个好的文件归档系统能够灵活的适应精神上(工作)和身体上的需要)正好与C呼应,而段首句的内容(你的文件归档系统能够满足你不断变化的需要)也是与C更加呼应,因此判断C是答案。
a) they are useless
b) in paper chase
c) that it is easily reached
d) that different people have different requirements
e) they are not comfortable
f) in investing in coupons5
5. Stephanie Denton is expert ___.

f in investing in coupons
8. “Mentally flexible” indicates the fact ___.
D。分析:比较剩下的被选项判断D(不同的人有不同的需求)合适。也可以借助原文:A good filing system is both mentally and physically flexible. Everyone’s needs are different, says Denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: “where would I look for this?”该题考察前后句句意的承接(观点句+解释分析句)。
