“Running a house is a lot like running a business.” says Stephanie Denton, a professional organizer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. To get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and other materials, Denton suggests the following tips:
Create a space in which you can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. If you can’t devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file cabinet for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.
When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to implementing a workable filing system is to eliminate paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you’ll never have an opportunity to use or even read.
Set aside two days a month to pay bills. If a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggest a more convenient date. Keep two manila folders at the front of your system for current bills –one to correspond with each bill-paying day –and file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the invoice never arrives or gets misplaced.
Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. 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?” Create main headings for your filing system, such as Investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth, and file individual folders under the main headings. Never overstuff your files.

1。 Paragraph 2 ___
Create（創(chuàng)造） a space（空間） in which you can always（總是） do your paperwork（文書工作）.This is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. If you can’t devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in（購買） a rolling file cart （移動文件推車）to store（存儲） active（活躍的， 經(jīng)常使用的） paperwork and a two-drawer（兩個抽屜的） file cabinet（廚柜） for family（家庭） records（記錄）. Store（存儲） the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.
1．A． 段落中出現(xiàn)了兩次rolling file cart，所以首先重點(diǎn)注意D，但涉及到rolling file cart的句子并沒有說到“如何投資購買”的問題，所以判斷D是干擾項(xiàng)。由于段落一開頭說到“找一個適合你做文字工作的空間”， 該句就是所在段落的主題句。
提示：如果段首句是表達(dá)要求或建議的祈使句或觀點(diǎn)句，或概括總結(jié)句，則該句往往就是所在段落的主題句.

2。Paragraph 3____
When in doubt（懷疑）, throw it out（扔掉）. The first step to implementing a workable filing system is to eliminate（除去，淘汰） paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you’ll never have an opportunity to use or even read.
