One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to manage time. He gave such an interesting example that his students would never 26 .
He put a wide-mouth jar(罐) on the table. Then he 27 some rocks and carefully placed them into the jar, one at a time. When 28 rocks would fit inside, he 29 , “Is this jar full?”
Everyone in class shouted, “Yes.” “Really?” The teacher pulled out a bag of small stones. He put 30 small stones in and shook the jar. The small stones went 31 into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group 32 , “Is this jar full?”
“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” the teacher replied. He brought out a box of sand and 33 some sand on the jar and it went between the rocks and small stones. Again he asked the 34 question, “Is this jar full?
“No,” the class shouted. Once more the teacher said, “Good.” He poured a cup of water into the jar 35 it was full. The he asked, “What is the point here?” One student 36 his hand and said, “The point is that if you try really hard, you can 37 put more things in.”
“No,” the teacher replied, “that’s not the 38 . What I want to tell you is that if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you will never get others in at all. 39 are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Time with your friends, your education or your dreams? Remember to put the 40 in first, or you’ll never get others in at all?”

(答案→)C
解析：本文讲述一个教师通过具体的实验演示，启发学生如何科学地安排时间：重要的 事情要先做，次要的小事可以稍后做。
【小题1】下文提到老师通过一个的实验演示如何科学的安排时间，给学生上了一堂生动的课，学生深受启发，因此是难忘的。故选forget.
【小题2】他把一个宽口罐子放在桌子上.然后拿出一些石头小心地放入其中。Ａ分发Ｂ拿出Ｃ拿走； 带走；Ｄ收起来； 放好，根据语境，故应选Ｂ
【小题3】no more修饰名词=not any more,当填到不能再填入更多石头的时候，他问“这个罐子满了吗?”
【小题4】从后文“Is this jar full?”可知是老师发问，故此处填asked
【小题5】老师拿出一小包小石块并把一些小石头放进罐子里。Some和any均可以表示“一些”，但any 用于否定句和疑问句中。
【小题6】小石头从上往下放进罐子的空隙中，故用down,up表示“往上”，out表示“往外”
【小题7】从第一二可知，老师先前问了学生一次，所以该处用once again又一次，再一次， 就相当于again，说明动作是第二遍
【小题8】联系上文，“放入石头用动词put,故此处“放入沙子”也应使用put
【小题9】从一二三可知，老师问了同样的问题：这个罐子满了吗？
【小题10】考查连词。他把一杯水倒入罐子里直到充满了罐子，故用till
【小题11】根据上下文语境，一个学生举起手回答,raise/put up one’s hands某人举起手
【小题12】如果你努力尝试（往里面放东西），你总是可以放进更多。
【小题13】根据上文老师提问“道理（point）是什么”，此处同样应填point，老师回答说 “那不是这个道理
【小题14】什么在你的生活中是那些‘大的石块’呢?用what提问，故选B
【小题15】从本段第二行put the big rocks in first可知选C。记住把你最重要的事（big rocks）放在第一位否则一事无成。
