请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Everyone procrastinates.We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates.Putting things off – big or small – is part of being human.But procrastination does have consequences.When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-schedule。
An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for.You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like.Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due.Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan.By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.
The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper.You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later.In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects.
Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time.You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change.It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule.Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.
You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal.Reward yourself for your small successes.Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.
As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation.You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically.But you can change the behavior, bit by bit.If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.
1.From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.
A.usually have sleeping problems
B.tend to be unrealistic in daily life
C.spend more time in doing exercise
D.often fail to notice untimed activities
2.Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?
A.“Now I have more time for fun.”
B.“I can start my big project later.”
C.“I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”
D.“I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”
3.According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their _.
A.interests in doing things differently
B.determination to try out new things
C.inability to manage time properly
D.lack of concentration on a project

Greenspace facilities (设施) are contributing to an important degree to the quality of the city environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-proved statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the importance of greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people are using these spaces. As to this subject I shall within the scope (范围) of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation (娱乐) which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation far from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
1.The importance of greenspaces in the city environment _____.
A. is still unknown
B. is paid little attention to
C. is accepted on the base of scientific proof
D. has been recognized
2.For many years town and country planning has _____.
A. brought living areas and places of entertainment close together
B. separated recreation facilities far from home
C. improved recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
D. enabled people to reach the best standard of living
3.According to the author, greenspaces should be designed _____.
A. to reduce the number of recreative activities
B. to attract more and more people
C. for people to use more conveniently
D. for people to do recreative activities at the street door of the house
4.The main idea of this passage is that _____.
A. attention must be paid to the improvement of recreation
B. greenspace facilities should be used better to improve the quality of life
C. the city environment is providing more recreative activities
D. we should try our best to raise our living standard

My friend had mentioned the other day that her father had a lot of children's toys he was looking to give away.She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first.I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter,which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford.

As I was looking around I did feel guilty,but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty.Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back.I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.
