Question

13．Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test？Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology？Sure you do？And who wouldn't？But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time．Here is why…
36．BThe task will be still the same．It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it．As the deadline gets closer and closer，the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work．And the stress increases．Now not only do you have to write that paper，you have to do it under great pressure．
37．FBefore you start，it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished．But you know what？You're probably miscalculating．Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought．Result？You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to．Things are guaranteed-100 percent-to get better．
38．EIf you leave your work before the night before it's due，you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor．Professors regularly give advice-or at least a few useful tips-during office hours．Unfortunately，though，they don't usually hold office hours at midnight，so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade．
39．CEver wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due？It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue，or doing the research，for two weeks．No，not every waking moment，but at least some of the time．After all，the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking．When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute，your ideas are half-baked．And your professor will know it．
40．AIf you put things off at the last minute，you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks．It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness，family problems，computer breakdowns，trouble at work，and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test．If you keep delaying，you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse （不利的） effect on your ability to complete your assignment．

A．Time can run out．
B．Tomorrow won't be better．
C．Ideas need time to develop．
D．Your professor will be impatient．
E．You blow off your chances for help．
F．You are probably overestimating （高估） the pain．
G．The problem won't be solved．

Answer 1

分析 本篇讲的是把任务推到明天这样一个习惯的坏处，分五段分析分析了五种坏处：明天不一定会更好；你可能高估了痛苦的力量；得到帮助的机会可能会丧失；有时候想法和见解是需要时间去培养和发展的；时间会流逝．

解答 36．B．推理题．根据后面的两句"The task will be still the same．It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it．"可以推断，本段谈论的主题把工作留给将来做不是好主意．
37．F．细节题．根据前两句"…it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished．But…miscalculating…maybe it's a small place…have more…more…than you though．"可以判断，该段讲的是：没有开始的时候，会觉得工作不可能完成．但是人们会估计错误．做起来以后，就会觉得其实自己比想像的要强多了，自己完全能胜任的．结果就是一定能够做成功，做得更好．
38．E．细节题．根据下一句"If you leave your work…，you give up the possibility of…give advice，"以及"Unfortunately，though…so you'll be out of luck…"可以得知本句主题为：把事情放到最后一刻去做，将会放弃得到帮助的机会．
39．C．推理题．根据"No，not every waking moment，but at least some of the time．"以及"your ideas are halfbaked"可知，该段主要讲述"有时候想法和见解是需要时间去培养和发展的"．
40．A．细节题．根据本段第一句"If you put things off till the last minute…"和"…you don't allow yourself time for those…"可知，如果人们习惯于将事情推到最后一刻去做，将可能发现没有预留出足够的时间完成要做的各种事情．
