Five Ways to End Procrastination (拖延症)
Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today. Waiting until later is one of life's guilty secrets, but procrastination is linked to poorer health, work and relationship outcomes. Here are five ways to try to remedy (纠正) procrastination.
1.A five-minute start
Five minutes is nothing—it's just three hundred seconds. It's the length of a song or a TV commercial. Pick up a project you've been putting off and spare just 300 seconds of your time to do it. 16 After a while, the momentum (动力) of beginning the task will push you forward.
2.Set goals and rewards
During the day, set goals and rewards. Each time you achieve a goal, you earn the reward: a short break, a funny YouTube video or something else. 17 Make sure you select a time to review your progress and adjust your targets accordingly.
3.Be good to yourself—me today versus me tomorrow
Sometimes, when you find yourself buried in work, you are upset with yourself for not having started earlier. Imagine a conversation, between—you today and—you tomorrow. 18
4.I was there—witnessing accountability (责任)
19 Consider going on a diet: Is there more pressure if you don't tell a soul, or if you announce it to all your friends, with strict rules to follow if you are invited to dinner? It seems an obvious way of making you feel guilty, but it can also be highly effective.
5.Set creative punishments—negative consequences
Make the consequences of inaction so unbearable that you have no choice but to get busy now. You could write a note to someone that you don't like. Give the note to a friend with strict instructions to mail the note if you do not achieve your goal. The more you dislike the other party, the stronger the motivation to get the task done.
Procrastination is a silent killer of dreams. 20 By understanding and fixing your procrastination, you'll discover you jump-start many areas of your life.
A.Everyone suffers from it.
B.Once the five minutes is up, stop and reassess.
C.Everyone likes to have a dream of procrastination.
D.Going public with a goal increases your support and accountability.
E.What is the future of my life with the intention of putting off my tasks?
F.If—you tomorrow could chat with—you today, what would he say?
G.It's important that the goals are realistic and the rewards are in proportion(按比例).

第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
这是一篇说明文。文章主要提出了五种纠正拖延症的方法。
16.B 前文Pick up a project you've been putting off and spare just 300 seconds of your time to do it.(挑选一个你已经推迟的项目,只花300秒的时间去做它)与B项Once the five minutes is up, stop and reassess.(一旦这5分钟结束,就停下重新评估。)承接自然,选项中的five minutes就是前文的300 seconds,故选B项。
17.G G项It's important that the goals are realistic and the rewards are in proportion(按比例).(目标要现实、奖励按比例是很重要的。)符合该段小标题Set goals and rewards(设定目标和奖励)的话题,故选G项。

19.D D项Going public with a goal increases your support and accountability.(公开你的目标会增加你的支持和责任。)符合该段小标题I was there—witnessing accountability(责任).(我在那儿,见证责任)的话题,accountability是关键词,故选D项。
20.A 前文Procrastination is a silent killer of dreams.(拖延症是沉默的梦想杀手)与A项Everyone suffers from it.(人人都是受害者。)承接自然,选项中的it就是前文的Procrastination,故选A项。
