A military train carrying soldiers has derailed south of Egypt's capital Cairo, killing at least 19 people and injuring more than 100, officials say.

The train was travelling to an army camp in Cairo when it came off the tracks in the Badrashin area of Giza.

It is not yet known what caused the accident.

Egypt's roads and railways have a poor safety record. Last November 50 children died after a train crash into their school bus.

Both the transport minister and the head of the railway authority were forced to resign (辞职) as a result of the crash, which took place in November near Manfalut, 350km south of Cairo.

Investigations later showed the barriers (栅栏) at the crossing were not closed because the signal operator had fallen asleep.

Monday's incident occurred as the army train was heading from Upper Egypt into Cairo.

Reports say more than 1,300 passengers were aboard the train when the accident happened shortly after midnight.

The passengers wounded in the accident have been taken to hospitals, the governor of Giza said.

　 An eyewitness told BBC Arabic that he saw two dozen dead bodies at the scene of the accident.

　 The latest incident could increase the pressure on the government to deal with the safety of trains, the BBC's Said Shehata reports from Cairo.

　 Four years ago, some 18 people were killed and dozens injured in an accident crash between two passenger trains in the Giza area.

　 And in 2002, a train caught fire in Cairo, killing 373 people.

56. The underlined word “derail” in the first paragraph means “_________”?

　　　　　　　　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. “　1.　,” 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.

　　　2.　. 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. “　3.　,” 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 daydreamer. 　 4.　. 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 48 minutes. When it goes off, 　 5.　: 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
