After studying the daily habits of 177 self-made millionaires over the course of five years, Thomas C. Corley found that they avoid one costly habit: procrastination (拖延症).

“It prevents even the most talented individuals from realizing success in life,” he writes in his upcoming book, “Change Your Habits, Change Your Life.”

This goes hand-in-hand with author Napoleon Hill’s claim that the wealthiest people are also the most decisive people.

Out of the 500 millionaires Hill studied in the early 20th century, “Every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions quickly,” Hill wrote in his 1937 classic, “Think and Grow Rich.”

One of the major causes of procrastination is lack of passion, Corley emphasizes: “We simply like to do the things we like to do and we put off the things we do not like to do.”

“According to Gallup, only 13% of employees are ‘engaged’ in their jobs, or emotionally invested in their work,” Corley writes.

“Whether you realize it or not, procrastination is a big reason why you are struggling financially in life. It damages your credibility with employers and fellow colleagues at work. It also affects the quality of your work and this affects the business you or your employer receive from customers, clients, and business relationships.”

The good news is that anyone can overcome procrastination — and it’s simpler than you may think. He also notes that “the voice of procrastination screams just as loud and clear in the minds of those who excel in life as it does in the minds of those who do not.”

How do they silence it? They rely on “to-do” lists to get things done. They create firm deadlines, and they meet with “accountability partners” to ensure they’re sticking to their goals and deadlines, Corley says.

Nearly everyone is susceptible to procrastination — but fighting against it can make all the difference.

1.According to the passage, millionaires______.

A. usually succeed through their own efforts

B. are only passionate about making money

C. don’t hesitate when making decisions

D. create both long-term and short-term goals

2.What can people do to overcome procrastination?

A. Do whatever they like to do.

B. Avoid things they are unwilling to do.

C. Be fully prepared for emergencies.

D. Accomplish things on schedule.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “excel”?

A. struggleB. stand outC. thinkD. work hard

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

A. Fighting procrastination

B. How to become a millionaire

C. Research on a bad habit

D. The importance of making “to-do” lists

It was the day after Halloween when my grandmother was admitted to the hospital with the worst headache she’d ever had. While posing in our costumes the night before, we knew something was wrong, just not how wrong.

Grandma’s house was the central gathering place of my family. Sunday lunches, birthday dinners, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — all were our traditions, with her as hostess. While my parents were busy running their small business, there were many nights when Grandma fed me and put me to bed in her spare room, until they came to get me. I spent my summers at Grandma’s and I went everywhere with her. I couldn’t imagine a time when she wouldn’t be around me.

Then November 1,1991 began her month-long stay in the hospital—she suffered from a rare infection (感染)called nocardia asteroides. After being born in the year of the Great Depression, living through World War II, raising three kids, and being widowed at the age of 48, Grandma never expected to live into her seventies. The infection in her brain seemed to confirm that she wasn’t long for this world. But that’s not the end of her story. A team of doctors successfully removed the abscess(脓肿), and Grandma even made it into a local medical journal. Her doctor called her “the brain lady”.

Grandma celebrated her 85th birthday in March this year. In the almost 23 years since her recovery, she’s seen two of her four grandchildren get married and welcomed three great-grandsons. Although they damage something in her house, she loves it when my two boys come over. And while I know they make her day, seeing her love blossom for another generation makes my day too. Happy Grandparents’ Day to my amazing grandmother!
