试题分析: 有计划，有安排是学习和生活中的重要技能，在本文中作者教育我们做任何事情都要有组织性和计划性。计划安排在学习方面就是指把笔记本放到你经常放作业的地方；在家庭生活中就是指把日常需要的东西放在每天去拿的同一个地方。

1. 考查上下文理解和判断能力。作者开头提出being organized 这一话题，然后通过For schoolwork, it means ……—these are the main parts of organization．进一步介绍being organized 的意思，由此判断E选项内容“What does it mean to be organized?”可以起到连接上下文的作用，答案选E。

2.考查上下文理解和判断能力。根据本段中For home stuff,being organized means……; It means keeping your schoolbag……可知本段内容是介绍“being organized ”在家庭事物中指什么，而G选项不仅从句式结构上和上下文一致，而且内容符合语境，故答案选G。

3.考查上下文理解和判断能力。从前句内容Planning is part of being organized, too．可知本段是介绍Being organized 在计划中的所指的意思，而A内容Planning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it．（计划意味着决定你将要做的和什么时候做）可以承接上文，引起下文，故答案选A。

4.考查上下文理解和判断能力。根据空前后内容可知此处是关于对事情的记录，当做完某件事以后要从单子上勾掉，由此判断C选项Add new things as you get assignments“当有新的任务时要在单子上做出补充”， 内容符合上下文，故答案选C。

5.考查上下文理解和判断能力。下文讲述做好计划安排会节省时间，根据空后But 可以判断空上内容应该和后面构成转折关系，故判断F选项It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff．符合语境，答案选F。
