【答案与解析】本文讲述了合理利用时间的重要性，人的一生除去睡觉、娱乐和抚养孩子，剩下的时间其实是很少的，因此我们应该合理地利用这些有限的时间，不让自己后悔。

1. C。familiar意为”熟悉的”，此处指时间对于我们每个人来说都是极为熟悉的，ordinary意为”平常的”，particular意为”特殊的”。

2. D。此处指我们有时把时间视为就像是真实存在着的东西一样，treat意为”视为；对待”。

3. D。这句指的都是我们是如何对待时间的，treat太笼统，可以排除，save time意为”节省时间”，故答案选D。

4. A。没有时间我们将失去一切，然而并不是我们中的所有人都知道如何最好地使用时间，两句间表轻微转折，故使用连词however。

5. B。由We can find people committed to working and studying all the day around us，可知整天工作和学习的人应该是很少甚至完全不去玩乐和逛街的，seldom意为”很少，几乎不”。

6. C。花时间做某事应使用动词spend，pay指花钱买东西，waste意为”浪费”，cost意为”花费，价值”。

7. A。acute意为”敏锐的”，这里是说他们对于时间的短暂有着敏锐的感觉，shortness 意为”短缺”，符合此处语意。length意为”长度”，sufficiency意为”充足，足量”，happiness意为”快乐”。

8. B。因为他们将几乎所有的时间花在学习上，所以看起来像是时间的奴隶，同时从后面几句对这种人的看法可知，此处应为表贬义的词，故答案为B。

9. A。从laugh at them和We also treat them as monsters, and look down upon them可知，此处是指瞧不起这种人，故应为foolish，意为”愚蠢的”。

10. C。这里指没必要像他们一样学习和工作，need指”必要，必需”。

11. B。worry 意为”使烦恼”，surprise意为”使惊奇”frighten意为”使惊吓”，fear意为”恐惧”。我们以为时间是很充足的，但其实确是很短暂的，这个答案应是会使我们感到惊奇。

12. D。根据常识判断，人生一半以上的时间应该是用来睡觉的。

13. C。此处指花时间来养育孩子，bring up意为”教育，培养”，符合此处语境。grow up意为”成长”，stay up意为”熬夜”，send up意为”发射，长出”。

14. A。energy意为”精力，精神”，此处指等我们退休之后，人老了，就没有足够的精力去做一些重要的事情了。intelligence 意为”智力”，strength意为”力量”，ability意为”能力”。

15. D。由also可知，此处应为short的同义词。四个选项中，limited意为”有限的”，符合要求。

16. B。梦想成为现实，应使用动词come。come true意为”实现，达到”。

17. B。联系前文We sometimes say they are ___9___ and laugh at them，可知此处是指不要再嘲笑他们，故答案为B。

18. D。结合前文if we don’t treasure it highly可知此处应为highly，意思是非常珍惜时间。

19. C。比较几个选项，set off 意为”出发”，cut off 意为”切断，断绝”，put off意为”推迟，拖延”，fall off意为”下降，跌落”，此处应指将今天的工作拖延到明天，故答案选C。

20. A。此处应为追上时间的脚步，catch up 意为”追上”，符合此处语境。hurry up意为”赶快”，set up意为”建立”，pick up意为”捡起；获得”。
