What do you think people should do with them? Why? →To pull down the old buildings and set up new modern ones to keep up with the pace of the society. →New uses should be given to old special buildings. It’s a great way to save the architecture from the past. Step 8.

        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. “  ,” 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.

    . 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. “  ,” 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.    . 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,    : 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

  When you are at odds with someone close to you, the One-Minute Drill can show you how to express your feelings effectively-and how to listen more skillfully.All it requires is two individuals who are committed to improving their relationship.

  Set aside at least ten minutes, and then sit facing each other.Decide who will be the Talker and who will be the Lastener.It makes no difference, because later you will change roles.

  How to perform the One-Minute Drill

  For approximately 30 seconds, the Talker can say anything he or she wants.Your job will be to express your thoughts and feelings.You can discuss problems you've had a hard time talking about.Remember to limit yourself to about 30 seconds.When the Talker finishes, the Listener will summarize what the Talker just said, as well as how the Talker was feeling inside, as accurately as possible.

  The Talker now gives the Listener a grade between 0 and 100 percent to indicate how accurate the summary was.If the rating is 95 percent or more, you can change roles; the new Talker can continue with the same topic or move on to something entirely new.

  However, if the grade is below 95 percent, the Talker should point out what the Listener missed or got wrong, and repeat the process until the overall rating is 95 percent or more.Then you can change roles and repeat the exercise for as long as you both like.

  How it works

  Thirty seconds of emotionally charged information is sufficiently challenging for anyone.Express your feelings in strong, clear, direct language, but as your partner will be listening attentively, you won't need to shout, exaggerate or put your partner down.

  The Listener should sit and listen respectfully without interrupting.Look into your partner's eyes, but avoid using negative body language.If you like, take a few notes.

  So the Talker might say:“When I come home from work, I feel tired and I need some quiet time.But you tell me I'm supposed to spend time with the kids.This makes me feel frustrated.I work hard and I'm exhausted at the end of the day.I feel like I deserve a little time to relax, not listen to more demands.”

  In response, the Listener might summarize like this:“You just told me that you feel exhausted when you come home at night because you've been working hard all day.When l tell you l want you to spend time with the kids, you feel frustrated and ticked off because you're tired and you need time to relax.You see me as very demanding, and you're probably feeling like I don't appreciate you.”

  The first time you attempt the One-Minute Drill, you may get a low score.Don't worry, because you'll get up to speed quickly.Once you've tried this exercise a few times, you'll find that you can nearly always get ratings of 95 percent or better on the first or second try.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

  Being a good student doesn't mean you have to drop all social activities and dive into your books.It is still possible to have a healthy social life while getting good grades.  1  .Here is how you can achieve it:

  Decide for yourself at the start of the term that you won't let your schoolwork sweep you away.  2  

  Write down your weekly schedule on a piece of paper.Chances are, you'll have small gaps between classes during the week and more free time at the weekend.Make sure that every time you find yourself in one of those between-class gaps you use the time efficiently.  3  .

  Set aside at least one large amount of time each week as free time.Keep in mind the law of diminishing returns(收益递减).Past a certain point more hours studying will be of little benefit.  4  .Protect both your free time and your school time carefully.If one starts to infringe(侵犯)on the other that is just the beginning of a long, slippery downhill slope(斜坡).

    5  .This way, you can co-ordinate(协调)your free time with theirs.

  Whenever possible, find social activities that take you off campus and away from your schoolwork.

A.Balance is the key.

B.Encourage your friends to follow a similar plan.

C.It is very important to be determined about this.

D.Try not to affect other's time and just focus on your own.

E.You're better off spending this time with friends.
