问题     I have worked with so many people over the years that have made me wonder how on earth they can work at their desk when everything that was in their drawers and in their filing cabinets has ended up in piles on top of their keyboard. One co-worker of mine couldn’t remember what colour the top of his desk was! I had to say something, but when I did, he told me that he knew where everything was and needed all that paperwork for different projects he was working on.
    Some study suggests that about 15% of our time is wasted on looking for misplaced files and paperwork at the office. People get really defensive when you tell them that their desk is a mess. They say that they don’t have time to clean up, as they are too busy. And if they would file certain items they would forget to work on it and would therefore miss the deadline.
    Hence, first things first, get yourself some folders and a black marker. Take every piece of paper on your desk one by one and file them. Make sure that everything you need to do with these papers is written down on a "to-do" list or even better in your computer organiser. For example, if you have to work on your budget next Monday, write down "work on budget" in your computer organiser so that when Monday comes, your computer will send you a reminder that you need to work on your budget today. Then file that paper in a folder named "budget". Put that folder away—not on your desk!! But in your filing cabinet. Proceed this way with every bit of information that clutters your desk. Do not get distracted by a form that reminds you that you need to do something. Instead, jot it down on your "to-do" list or in your organiser. You won’t forget it as it has been written down. File it and move on. Keep focused. Only do one thing at a time for the moment and that is to organise and clean your desk.
By mentioning his co-worker couldn’t remember the color of the desk top, the author implies that______.
选项 A、the color of the desk top was too trivial to remember
B、people were always kept too busy with office work
C、people always misplaced their files and paperwork
D、disorganized office was hard to tolerate
答案C
解析 题干是首段第2句的内容，是对该段首句“抽屉及文件柜里的东西最终在他们的键盘上堆积成山”的进一步举例说明，作者举这个极端的例子意在暗示“人们总是胡乱堆放文件(以至文件遮住桌面)”，因此C为本题答案。
