Conquering Procrastination (拖延癥)

Procrastination, the habit of putting tasks off to the last possible minute, can be a major problem in both your career and your personal life. 1. . Therefore, it takes deliberate strategies to avoid becoming our own worst enemy by procrastinating on our intended actions.

Don’t give in to feeling good. 2. . For example, a task at hand makes us feel anxious or overwhelmed, so we give in to feeling good, seeking immediate emotional relief, and we walk away, leaving the task for tomorrow. To cope with this, stay for a minute — don’t walk away. Acknowledge the negative emotions, but get started anyway. Progress on a goal provides the motivation for another step forward.

3. . We’re most likely to procrastinate on tasks that lack structure. This means that in addition to making your task specific, it’s important to reduce the uncertainty about how to continue — and, when it’s time to act, to reduce available distractions (分心的事物) as well. Shut off your e-mail, separate yourself from others as much as you can, and make sure the environment around you is working to strengthen your willpower and focus, not to weaken your efforts.

Make the most of the willpower muscle. A great deal of recent research clearly indicates that willpower is like a muscle. You can exhaust it more quickly than you might imagine and, when you do, you lose your ability to self-regulate your behavior. One immediate method to strengthen your resolve in order to keep you on task is to remind yourself of your values. 4. .

Beating procrastination isn’t rocket science, but it is psychology. Procrastinators can change their behavior — but doing so consumes a lot of mental energy. 5. . It can be done with highly organized cognitive (認(rèn)知的) behavior treatment.

A. Its side effects include losing opportunities, rushed work, stress, anger, and guilt.

B. Do not perform several tasks at a time.

C. This process of self-recognition strengthens our weakening willpower.

D. When self-regulation fails, it’s often because short-term emotional repair comes before our long-term goals.

E. And it doesn’t necessarily mean one feels transformed internally.

F. It means doing more enjoyable things in place of less enjoyable ones.

G. Reduce uncertainty and distractions.

BEIJING — China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits” for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.

Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(偽造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.

“It has harmed education equality,” the ministry said.

Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.

The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges.

The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.

Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.

But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,” said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.

A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”

Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,” he said.

1.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performance

B. students who win awards in Olympic competitions can't get extra credits in 2011

C. the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smaller

D. he extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges

2.What does the underlined word “geek” probably mean?

A. a winner B. a smart learner

C. a competitor D. a dull student

3.Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?

A. Xiong Bingqi B. Chen Lei

C. Dong Wen D. Yuan Guiren

4.What might be the best title for the text?

A. “Extra credits” policy in China to be adjusted

B. Promotion of national Olympic competitions

C. Advice on the national college entrance exam

D. Chinese government to push education reform

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015-2016學(xué)年河北衡水冀州中學(xué)高二上月考五A卷英語(yǔ)卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制藥), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(協(xié)調(diào)), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (樣本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence(違法犯罪行為). Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. the introduction of driving skills

B. the damage of drinking to your body

C. the effect of drinking on driving

D. the process of alcohol being absorbed

2.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.

A. alcohol B. absorption

C. blood D. process

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.

4.A driver suspected of (被懷疑) drink driving ________.

A. should provide specimens for testing

B. will be forbidden to drive for 3years

C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points

D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000
