As the new semester begins,millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper-or,more likely,how best to delay that paper.

Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it.They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space,eating snacks,surfing the Internet,watching videos and looking at their pretty peers sitting around them,who,most likely,are doing nothing either.

Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate,they write micro blogs about their fears,asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue.But this does nothing to solve their problems.

According to a recent report by the BBC,95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are procrastinators,complicating their lives with their continual delaying of tasks.

Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior,but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure.Pelling says this is nonsense,as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time.

She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel flustered and ashamed,inconveniences others,and annoys loved ones.

Fortunately,social seientists have made tireless efforts to understand this behavioral shortcoming and offer strategies to control it.Piers Steel,a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation,believes humankind is“designed”to procrastinate.Nevertheless,he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.

The first one is obvious:Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically.

The second is clever:Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time,they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.

1.What does the underlined word“Procrastination” in the second paragraph refer to?

A.A bad habit of putting work or tasks off.

B.A thief who steals time and money in college.

C.A college student who learns nothing.

D.A study way of doing nothing in the library.

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

A.College students can have their papers written if they delay them.

B.Many students don’t know what to do in the library.

C.Students can’t solve their procrastination by writing micro blogs.

D.20%of the procrastinators make their life complicated.

3.According to Rowan Pelling,we can learn that procrastinators .

A.can find reasonable excuses for their behavior

B.are able to work best under pressure

C.are more likely to avoid mistakes at work[]

D.may upset themselves and their loved ones more frequently

4.Which of the following may Piers Steel support?

A.Human beings are not born to be procrastinators.

B.Complete your tasks or work step by step.

C.Give your trusted friend money and ask him to help you finish your tasks.

D.You can’t control procrastination but you can avoid it.

5.What’she best title of the text?

A.Who steals my time?

B.The solutions to procrastination

C.I’ll do it tomorrow,I swear!

D.Don’t do nothing!

 

I recently ran into a friend I hadn't seen for a long while. Our conversation was lively andfull of news from both sides. Before we parted she said "You'll have to drop in sometime. "immediately sensed that if I simply " dropped in" I would take my friend by surprise, and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway, staring at me, and asking, " Oh ,err …what brings you here?"

Whatever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit? When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people-mostly relatives, but also friends-were always dropping in . My parents would put coffee on, and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it. Then the conversation would begin…The neighbor lady, a worrier, was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened. The Irish man next door had such an atcent that I remember asking what language he spoke. My Polish relatives arrived in packs…But I never heard my parents say any- thing like " We weren't expecting you" or " This isn't a good time. " Drop-in visitors had a certain right of way and became No. 1.

What happened to such visits? Actually I know the answer. Times have changed. Everybody gets busy with work. There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest. Exploding malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment.

Just the other day a former student of mine showed up. "I'm sorry for the surprise visit. " my student began. "I just wanted to see if you still lived here. I'll only stay a minute. "

My response was immediate. "No, you won't," I said. " Just come in, sit, have coffee, and we'11 talk. "I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza. And we had a lovely time. I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort.
