【解析】本文主要介绍了快速完成工作的五个方法，主要有自我欺骗，多休息几下，使用奖励，团队配合等。

1.根据后文“So,try this: add something to  ...as long as you can”可知在自己的计划内完成一件事，你会得到很大的鼓励，尽管是一件很小的事。G项A feeling of having made progress will inspire you符合语境，故选G。

2.根据前文“Find yourself checking your cellphone or reading the Internet?”发现自己在检查手机还是在上网。可知在工作很多，快完不成的时候这样做，你可能会感到内疚，B项Don't feel guilty（不要感到内疚）符合语境，故选B。

3.有小标题“Use rewards.”（使用奖励）可知本段主要讲的是可以用奖励来激励自己，反观选项，E项Rewards are wonderful motivators与小标题相对应，故选E。

4.根据后文“Most of us spend too much of our day sitting.It's bad for our health and bad for our concentration.Take a walk or do some jumping in a free meeting room—anything to get you refreshed and your brain working again.”我们大多数人一天都坐着过多的时间，这对我们的健康有害，对我们的注意力也不好。可知我们不应该一直都坐着，要多运动。A符合语境，故选A。

5.根据后文“but also you'll feel more connected to your co-workers while doing it.”not only...but also 不仅...而且...,D项的not only与下文的but also 对应，故选D。

【名师点睛】：

七选五阅读填空是新课标英语高考的新题型。文章多数是说明文，考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。在做这种题型时我们要注意以下解题技巧：

1.句式对接

如本文的第4小题，通读文章，我们很容易发现每条方法的第一句话，也就是主题句都是祈使句。第二个方法主要讲的是要多运动，一直坐着对身体不好，反观选项，A为祈使句且内容符合题意，故选A。

2.词汇衔接：也就是利用上下文所重复的关键词，即词的复现原则进行判断，其中包括同义词，原词和反义词的复现。要注意空前后的名词、代词、和动词，寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。如本问中的第3小题，E项中的Rewards与主题句中的Rewards就属于原词的复现，这样我们就很容易找到正确的选项。
