¡¾´ð°¸¡¿Mrs. Wilson,I¡¯m going out shopping, and won¡¯t be back until about 5:00 pm. I have taken with me the two books you asked me to return to the City Library. At about I o¡¯clock this afternoon, Tracy called, saying that she couldn¡¯t meet you at Bolton Coffee tomorrow morning as she has something important to attend to. She felt very sorry about that, but said that you could set some other time for the meeting. She wanted you to call her back as soon as you are home. She has already told Susan about this change.Li Hua

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakes.

For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.

However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.

Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(Á×ËáÑÎ)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.

A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top player of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island or Nauru started to look like the moon.

In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.

Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem¡ªtheir phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately$433, 600, 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.

¡¾1¡¿What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?

A. Rich and powerful

B. Modern and open

C. Peaceful and attractive

D. Greedy and aggressive

¡¾2¡¿The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .

A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining

C. farming activity D. whale hunting

¡¾3¡¿Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?

A. Its leaders misused the money

B. It spent too much repairing the island

C. Its phosphate mining cost much money

D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.

¡¾4¡¿What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?

A. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously

B. The phosphate mines were destroyed

C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans

D. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿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 form 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 other students sitting around them, who, most likely are doing nothing either.

Paralyzed (ʹʧȥ»îÁ¦) 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 break the spell (ħÖä).

According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world¡¯s population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who don¡¯t delay. 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 non sense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.

Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent£¨¹ýʧµÄ£© in a society that thinks of speedy action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.

Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is ¡°designed¡± to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.

¡¾1¡¿Which behavior belongs to procrastination?

A. Never dream away the time.

B. Always complete the tasks ahead of time.

C. Never put off till tomorrow what should be done today.

D. Always wait to work until the ¡°good mood¡± or ¡°good time¡±.

¡¾2¡¿According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. Procrastination makes people waste their time.

B. Speedy action is considered as a moral standard in the society.

C. procrastinators usually complete their tasks perfectly.

D. Procrastination is common among people.

¡¾3¡¿What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. Ways to handle the study pressures.

B. Introduction to the book The Procrastination Equation.

C. More examples to illustrate procrastination

D. Measures to deal with procrastination.
