A scientific study in recent years has shown that it is a close relative of sadness and attention disorder; that procrastinators tend to be the result of low self-confide

20、nce and are likely to experience anxiety. The research has shown, what is more, that the illness has become quite common. Susan Robert, a behavioral psychologist who has written a book called Living With Procrastination, says that about a quarter of the adult population of the United States and Cana

21、da report having serious problems with procrastination. “when we say serious we mean people for whom procrastination causes great discomfort and suffering. Weve found that such people are more troubled by daily life than others, that possibility of anxiety is much higher among them than in the rest

22、of the population.” In a society driven by achievement, it is little wonder that not being able to work at full steam will bring people sadness. Surely, in the land of opportunity, this anxiety has produced an industry of experts offering solutions. Many books and specialist solutions have appeared.

24、rocrastination has been taken more and more seriously,” said Dr. Roberts, who has been treating patients troubled by the condition for more than 20 years. “It is now recognized as a true mental health problem and is being seen more as a psychological problem and less as a moral issue.”41.

The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easi

29、ly cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say “Pretty boy”or “Polly wants a cracker,”and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner dec

30、ides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrots popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house-sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding.

31、 In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grainalong with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely re

32、ason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same tim

33、e, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrots native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.46 A parrot can be trained to do all the following but_.Atalk Bhelp its o

34、wnerCsing Dcreate a lively atmosphere47 Which of the following is not a reason for the easy raising of the parrot?AIt eats very little. B Its food is inexpensiveCIt does not need a house-sitter.DIt does not require daily walks as dogs do.48The word “tameness”in the passage means _.Athe quality of be

35、ing brave or unafraidBthe quality of being kind or warm-heartedCthe quality of being uncontrolled or fierceDthe quality of being gentle or trained49. The word “jungle”probably means _.Aboundless desert with very little plant life Blarge apartment building with pleasing surroundingsCwild land overgro

36、wn with thick bushes and treesDsnow-covered mountain top in very cold areas50. The writer _.Alikes the parrotBdislikes the parrotCdoes not like nor dislike the parrotDvalues the parrot highlyPassage 3In my long life I have seen many changes in our habits and customs and conditions in general. I thin

37、k that you might be interested if I told you some of them. The world I entered at the age of eighteen when I became a medical student was a world that knew nothing of such advanced things as planes, films, radios or telephones. It was a very cheap world. Prices were stable. When I entered St. Thomas

38、 hospital I rent a set of rooms in Vincent square for which I paid 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when I came back at half past six. I only had to pay for the breakfasts and dinners twelve shillings a week. For four-

39、pence I lunched at St. Thomas on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I was able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself, and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn my microscope for three pounds. I spent five years at St. Thomas ho

40、spital. I was a bad student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my dinner, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel called “Liza of Lambeth”, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It came out

41、during my last year at the hospital and it was successful. It was of course an accident, but I didnt know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I left for Spain to write another book, I did not re

42、alize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.51.

45、gC. he was interesting in writingD. he could not study medicine wellPassage 4How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without

46、wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In ad

47、dtion, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has do

48、ne wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he b

49、reaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parens, he may go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of buil
