【题目】 Have you ever frequently put off things you should do for various reasons? If so, it is procrastination (拖延). Procrastinators often put off doing things and leave them to the very last moment. 1Lazy people simply don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can’t force themselves to start.

You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort. 2

Don’t place too much pressure on yourself. “This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,” 3 Overcome this mental block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.

4 Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don’t write a book; write a page.

Focus on starting, rather than finishing. For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. 5 We all know that if we start, we’ll eventually finish the task.

A.Break a long project down into short tasks.

B.So procrastination is about managing the time.

C.So we should apply ourselves to overcoming it.

D.However, procrastination is different from laziness.

E.Focus on the negative effects of the procrastination.

F.Bring your focus from the future to what can be done right now.

G.Placing such high hopes on a project only adds anxiety and fear of failure.

【题目】 Traveling green takes a little extra effort at first, but it soon becomes second nature and those extra steps can enhance every trip you take. Here are our tips for going green with ease and making travel better for everyone.

1

Look for certified green hotels that use renewable energy, recycle, use environmentally friendly cleaning products and so on. Staying in smaller, locally run hotels and B&Bs is often the greenest method around, which will make your stay environmentally and socially responsible as well as being a more direct boost to the local economy.

Use public transport, bike or walk

Instead of renting a car, hop on a local bus: take a walking tour or view the countryside by bike. 2.

Eat locally

Sourced food support the region’s farmers, get a more authentic taste of the cuisine and cut your carbon footprint even more. Look out for restaurants advertising local produce or, eat local dishes at mom-and-pop-style places that will most likely use what’s produced nearby. 3.

Leave a light footprint

4. Research your destination by Internet or ask around to find out if there are water shortages, how energy is produced and if there are any resource issues to be aware of.

Don’t dump your stuff

Some less-developed areas don’t have the means to dispose of large, man-made items like old electronics or used batteries. If you leave them, they could remain in a landfill for hundreds of years after you’re gone 5. As for clothing and items that may be of use to local people, donate them to local charities or religious organizations so they can reach those most in need.

A.Choose a green hotel

B.Choose a green tour company

C.Pack your trash and take it home

D.Whatever you do, don’t eat endangered species like turtle or over-harvested shellfish

E.Take simple steps such as taking short showers and turning off lights when you don’t need them

F.For long distances consider trains, which allow to meet locals and experience a culture in a slower, more detailed way

G.We believe responsible travel can open hearts and minds, give us a broader understanding of the world, and inspire us to make a difference

My secret of staying young is simple: Keeping your mind awake and you will stay young all over. Take an interest in the world around you, and learn at least a new thing every day. Don’t think that you are ever too older to go back to school. I know a man entered a medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became famous doctor. Other man, with his children encouragement, went to a law school when he was 71 and is now an active lawyer. You may never say that staying young is easy only for those living in the future.
