20．Getting to Now：How to Beat the Procrastination Habit
I am a procrastinator（拖拉者）．I always have been．I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit．Here are some techniques I've been using to try to force myself to get to now：
Set aside blocks of time to do things．When I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year，she asked me why I didn't exercise more often．"（36）D，"I said．"Something always comes up．"She wasn't impressed．"J．D．，"she said，"You have to make time．Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride．"The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate．
（37）C．Often I'll be sitting on the back porch reading a book，and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done-mending the fence，for example．"（38）G，"I tell myself．Wrong!What usually happens is that I forget to write it down，and even if I do，I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end．The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it．（Assuming，of course，that I have the time at that moment，which I usually do．）
Use a timer to bring you back to reality．Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a day dreamer．（39）A．One way to keep on track is to use a timer．I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer，but not as often as I should．I set it for 48minutes．When it goes off，（40）E：Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing？
Do not multitask．I often start many things at once，but I never actually do any of them．In order for me to get something done，I need to focus my attention on it．Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow．
A．I'm always lost in thought
B．it brings me back to reality
C．If it comes to mind，then do it
D．I don't have the time
E．it serves as an instant reality check
F．Do it right away if you are asked to do something
G．I need to write that down so I can remember it．
1．Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
    From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability，money and time．（16）B． Money is a topic I'll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1．Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat．So think ahead of the coming week．When will you have time to cook？Do you have the right materials already？（17）G．
2．Make your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread？（18）C．  It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So sav e yourself the effort for a future meal．
3．（19）A． This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．
Hopefully that gives a good start．（20）F． And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things．
B．Ability is easily improved．
C．Make three or four instead．
D．Understand your food better．
E．Cooking is a burden for many people．
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden．
G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on．
18．（26）Gand you probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so，however．Any one can become a better student if he or she wants to．Here's how：
  Plan your time carefully．When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time．First your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc．Then decide a good，regular time for studying．（27）BA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you realize what is happening to your time．
Find a good place to study．Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials．No games，radios，or television．When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject．
Make good use of your time in class．（28）AListening carefully in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．
Study regularly．When you get home from school，go over your notes，review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material．（29）EIf you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you'll remember it longer．
Develop a good attitude towards tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be over worried．
（30）CYou will probably discover many others after you have tried these．

A．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says．
B．Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment．
C．There are other methods that might help you with your studying．
D．Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class．
E．This will help you understand the next class．
F．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard．
G．Maybe you are an average student．
5．-Jack，go to the front door and have a look．Is the pizza man knocking at the door？
-It ____ be the pizza man，mum．We didn't order any lunch food．（　　）
A．mustn'tB．won'tC．can'tD．shan't
15．It's puzzling，isn't it？No matter where you try to tickle  （使人发痒）  yourself，even on the soles  （脚底）  of your feet or under your arms，you just can't．
To understand why，you need to know more about how your brain works．One of its main tasks is to try to make good guesses about what's going to happen next．While you're busy getting on with your life，walking downstairs or eating your breakfast，parts of your brain are always trying to predict the future．
Remember when you first learned how to ride a bicycle？At first，it took a lot of concentration to keep the handlebars steady and push the pedals （踏板）．But after a while，cycling became easy．Now you're not aware of the movements you make to keep the bike going．From experience，your brain knows exactly what to expect，so your body rides the bike automatically．Your brain is predicting all the movements you need to make．
You only have to think consciously about cycling if something changes---like if there's a strong wind or you get a flat tyre．When something unexpected happens like this，your brain is forced to change its predictions about what will happen next．If it does its job well，you'll adjust to the strong wind，leaning your body so you don't fall．
Why is it so important for our brains to predict what will happen next？It helps us make fewer mistakes and can even save our lives．For example，when a chief fireman sees a fire，he immediately makes decisions about how best to position his men．His past experiences help him foresee what might happen and choose the best plan for fighting the fire．His brain can instantly predict how different plans would work out，and he can rule out any bad or dangerous plans without putting his men at risk in real life．
So how does all this answer your question about tickling，kids？Because your brain is  always predicting your own actions，and how your body will feel，as a result，you cannot tickle yourself．Other people can tickle you because they can surprise you．You can't predict what their tickling actions will be．

32．We can infer from Paragraph 4thatC．
A．it's nothing serious to get a flat tyre．
B．weather changes can be predicted by brain．
C．prediction can be changeable and adaptable．
D．it's dangerous to cycle in the strong wind．
33．The phrase"rule out"in Paragraph 5probably means"D"．
A．make rules of

A．The Secret of Cycling．
B．Why Can't I Tickle Myself？

19．She doesn't like Miss Anderson，so she always avoids ______ alone with her．（　　）
A．leavingB．being leftC．to be leftD．to leave
10．Is there a"success personality"-some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably （必然地） to achievement？If so，exactly what is that secret success formula（公式），and can anyone develop it？
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success，inquiring into the attitudes of 1500distinguished people selected at random（随意）from Who's Who in America．Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers．Here is one of the most important，that is common sense．
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed．Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality．And 61percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success．
To most，common sense means the ability to present sound，practical judgments on everyday affairs．To do this，one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters．A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way："The key ability for success is simplifying．In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important．"
Is common sense a quality a person is born with，or can you do something to increase it？The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed．He owes this to learning how to debate in school．Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others，learning from their-and your own-mistakes．
Besides common sense，there are many other factors that influence success：knowing your field，self-reliance，intelligence，the ability to get things done，leadership，creativity，relationships with others，and of course，luck．But common sense stands out．If you develop these qualities，you'll succeed．And you might even find yourself listed in Who's Who someday．
Secrets to success
Finding of the （66）research/studyTop achievers have some common （67）qualities，one of which is common sense．
The most important quality79percent of the people surveyed （68）think/speak highly of common sense．And 61percent say their success （69）69．arises/results from this quality．
