Question

【題目】Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格內(nèi)填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~，使其內(nèi)容通順，每空格限填一詞，首字母已給):

If you have ever had trouble doing things you should do or would like to do, you have experienced procrastination(拖延癥). When you procrastinate, instead of working on important meaningful tasks, you find yourself performing meaningless activities.

If you are a procrastinator, perhaps you spend lots of time watching TV, playing video games, checking Facebook, eating, cleaning or walking back and forth through the room. Afterwards, you feel powerless and have the f【1】 of guilt and trouble. Once again, you end up doing nothing. Sound familiar?

L【2】 people don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, however, want to actually do something but can’t force themselves to s【3】.

Another fact about procrastination is that it is d【4】 from relaxation. Relaxing recharges you with energy. But procrastination makes you not energetic. The less energy you have, the greater the chances of you putting off your responsibilities, and, once more, you will achieve nothing.

My dad always used to say, “Peter, you need to learn how to give yourself orders.” I would always answer, “I tell myself what to do, I just don’t listen.”

Most likely, failure of the ability to listen to o【5】 is the main reason. The scientific name of this ability is self-regulation.

Self-regulation is the ability to actively control your emotions. The more developed this ability is, the more often you will do what you tell yourself to do. Good news is it is possible to have self-regulation by t【6】. You need to begin by setting the bar as low as possible. Creating habits isn’t about quantity; it’s about small steps and regular repetition.

Once you learn a new habit, you can exercise your willpower muscle(肌肉). As you s【7】 raise the bar, your willpower will gain strength day by day.

Gradual changes are more pleasant than sudden, great changes. Therefore bigger success can be made.

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要介紹了拖延癥的一些表現(xiàn)，并指出為了克服拖延癥，可以進(jìn)行自我管理，自我管理要從小目標(biāo)開(kāi)始，逐步的變化比突如其來(lái)的大變化更令人愉悅。

【1】句意：然后你會(huì)覺(jué)得無(wú)力，并有罪惡和麻煩的感覺(jué)。

題干中“guilt and trouble”都是感覺(jué)的一種，結(jié)合首字母f可推出用feeling表示“感覺(jué)”。故答案為feeling。

【2】句意：懶人不做任何事情，且感覺(jué)良好。

結(jié)合題干中“don’t do anything”及首字母L可推出此處用Lazy表示“懶惰的”。故答案為Lazy。

【3】句意：然而拖延癥患者確實(shí)想要做些事情，但是不能強(qiáng)迫自己開(kāi)始。

結(jié)合句意“然而拖延癥患者確實(shí)想要做些事情，但是不能強(qiáng)迫自己___”及首字母s可推出此處用start表示“開(kāi)始”，不定式符號(hào)to后接動(dòng)詞原形。故答案為start。

【4】句意：另一個(gè)關(guān)于拖延癥的事實(shí)是，它與放松不同。

根據(jù)下文中“Relaxing recharges you with energy. But procrastination makes you not energetic.”可知拖延癥不同于放松，結(jié)合首字母d可知此處用different表示“不同的”。故答案為different。

【5】句意：大概，沒(méi)有聽(tīng)從我們自己的能力是主要原因。

根據(jù)下文中“The scientific name of this ability is self-regulation.”可推出此處是說(shuō)“聽(tīng)從我們自己”；結(jié)合首字母o可知要用ourselves表示“我們自己”。故答案為ourselves。

【6】句意：好消息是通過(guò)訓(xùn)練擁有自我管理能力是可能的。

結(jié)合下文中“You need to begin by setting the bar as low as possible.”及首字母t可推出此處是說(shuō)通過(guò)訓(xùn)練擁有自我管理能力，用train表示“訓(xùn)練”，by后接動(dòng)名詞形式training。故答案為training。

【7】句意：隨著你慢慢增加目標(biāo)，你的意志力講一天天增加力量。

根據(jù)上文中“it’s about small steps and regular repetition”及下文“day by day”可推出此處是說(shuō)“慢慢增加目標(biāo)”；結(jié)合首字母s可推出用副詞slowly表示“緩慢地”，修飾動(dòng)詞raise。故答案為slowly。
