Conquering Procrastination (拖延症)

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 kee 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 (认知的) 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.

【题目】There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over in general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?

If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

1Teachers differ in their opinions about ________.

A. the difficulties in teaching spelling

B. the necessity of teaching spelling

C. the complexities of the basic writing skills

D. the role of spelling in general language development

2The expression "play safe" probably means “_______”.

A. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

B. students will have more confidence in writing

C. students will be able to express their ideas more freely

D. students will learn to be independent of teachers
