【题目】请阅读下面的文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章

Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or at other places, tend to have higher scores on standardized tests. In a review of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic performance investigators found that the more children moved? the better their grades were in school, particularly in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes for senior three students should be reduced or even cancelled. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away study time. With standardized test scores in the US dropping in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be consequently exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood flow to the brain, memory, attention and creativity, which are essential to learning.

(写作内容)

1. 用约3个单词概述上述信息的主要内容;

2. 谈谈你是否赞成高三学生应该减少体育课时间,并用2-3个理山或论据支撑你的观点。

【题目】How to Overcome Procrastination (拖延症)

If you've ever put off an important task, you know it wouldn’t be fair to describe yourself as lazy. This is just procrastination.

“Procrastination” is derived from the Latin verb procrastinare — to put off until tomorrow. But it's more than just voluntarily delaying. 1. It means doing something against our better judgment.

We must realize that procrastination is about emotions, not productivity. 2. Nor are we able to overcome it only by learning ways of self-control. It has to do with managing our emotions in a new way.

3. This is what researchers found. Students who were able to forgive themselves for procrastinating when studying for a first exam ended up procrastinating less when studying for their next exam. They concluded that self-forgiveness might guarantee future success. It allows students to move pass their improper behavior and focus on the next exam without burden.

Another choice is to make your temptations (诱惑) less attractive. 4. We can put obstacles between ourselves and our temptations to create a sense of frustration or anxiety. If you keep checking your social media, say, your WeChat, delete those apps from your phone for a while.

Researchers also suggested that we make the things we want to do as easy as possible for ourselves. 5, sleep in your exercise clothes.

A.That may be easier said than done

B.One choice is to explore our curiosity

C.If you feel like running early in the morning

D.So we can’t just download a time management app

E.One option is to forgive yourself when you procrastinate

F.Procrastination also came from the ancient Greek word akrasia

G.It’s still easier to change our surroundings than changing ourselves
