One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to best use their time. He gave an example those students would never forget.
He pulled out a big bottle and put it on the table. He also took out about a dozen rocks and carefully put them into the bottle, one rock at a time. When no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this bottle full?”
Everyone in the class shouted, “Yes.” The teacher replied, “Really?” He pulled out of a bucket of very small rocks. He poured some small rocks in and shook the bottle. The small rocks went down into the spaces among the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this bottle full?”
“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” he replied. He brought out a bucket of sand and poured the sand in the bottle and it went into all of the spaces left among the rocks. Once more, he asked the question “Is this bottle full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said. “Good.” Then he poured a cup of water in until the bottle was full. The he asked, “What is the idea here?” One student put up his hand and said, “The idea is, no matter how busy your life is, you can always do more things if you try really hard!”
“No,” the teacher replied, “ that’s not the idea. The idea is if you don’t put the big rocks at first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Family, friends, your education, or your dreams. Remember to put these big rocks at first or you’ll never get them in at all.”

阅读下面材料，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
一天，一位老师正在和一群学生谈论如何最好地利用他们的时间。他举了一个那些学生永远不会忘记的例子。
他拿出一个大瓶子，把它放在桌子上。他还拿出大约一打石头，小心地把它们放进瓶子里，一次放一块石头。当再也装不下石头时，他问道：“这个瓶子满了吗？”
班上的每个人都喊道：“满了。”老师回答说：“真的吗？”他从一个桶里拿出一些非常小的石头。他倒了一些小石头进去，然后摇晃瓶子。小石头掉进了大石头之间的空隙里。然后他又问大家：“这个瓶子满了吗？”
“可能没有。”其中一个人回答。“很好！”他回答道。他拿出一桶沙子，把沙子倒进瓶子里，沙子填进了石头之间所有剩下的空隙里。他又一次问了这个问题：“这个瓶子满了吗？”
“没有！”全班喊道。他又一次说：“很好。”然后他倒了一杯水进去，直到瓶子满了。然后他问道：“这里的寓意是什么？”一个学生举起手说：“寓意是，不管你的生活有多忙碌，如果你真的努力尝试，你总是可以做更多的事情！”
“不，”老师回答说，“那不是寓意。寓意是如果你一开始不把大石头放进去，你就永远也放不进去了。你生活中的大石头是什么？家人、朋友、你的教育，或者你的梦想。记住先把这些大石头放进去，否则你就永远也放不进去了。”
