As the new semester begins，millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper-or，more likely，how best to delay that paper．
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it．They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space，eating snacks，surfing the Internet，watching videos and looking at their pretty peers sitting around them，who，most likely，are doing nothing either．
Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate，they write micro blogs about their fears，asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue．But this does nothing to solve their problems．
According to a recent report by the BBC，95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are procrastinators，complicating their lives with their continual delaying of tasks．
Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior，but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong．Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure．Pelling says this is nonsense，as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time．
She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel flustered and ashamed，inconveniences others，and annoys loved ones．
Fortunately，social seientists have made tireless efforts to understand this behavioral shortcoming and offer strategies to control it．Piers Steel，a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation，believes humankind is“designed”to procrastinate．Nevertheless，he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand．
The first one is obvious：Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically．
The second is clever：Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time，they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.
小題1:What does the underlined word“Procrastination” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．A bad habit of putting work or tasks off．
B．A thief who steals time and money in college.
C．A college student who learns nothing．
D．A study way of doing nothing in the library.
小題2:Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A．College students can have their papers written if they delay them．
B．Many students don’t know what to do in the library．
C．Students can’t solve their procrastination by writing micro blogs．
D．20％of the procrastinators make their life complicated．
小題3:According to Rowan Pelling，we can learn that procrastinators .
A．can find reasonable excuses for their behavior
B．a(chǎn)re able to work best under pressure
C．a(chǎn)re more likely to avoid mistakes at work[]
D．may upset themselves and their loved ones more frequently
小題4:Which of the following may Piers Steel support?
A．Human beings are not born to be procrastinators．
B．Complete your tasks or work step by step．
C．Give your trusted friend money and ask him to help you finish your tasks．
D．You can’t control procrastination but you can avoid it．
小題5:What’she best title of the text?
A．Who steals my time?
B．The solutions to procrastination
C．I’ll do it tomorrow，I swear!
D．Don’t do nothing!

Hacking our senses to boost learning power
Some schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?
It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?
There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (聲學(xué)) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores. “Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on children’s performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.
Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is — and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people’s creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises — such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling — at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.
Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it’s hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you’re hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound — even listening to a Stephen King novel — then you do better. It doesn’t matter about the music,” he says.
So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful choices. Yet this isn’t the only sense being used to affect learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells — grapefruit scents for maths, lavender for French and spearmint for history.
小題1:The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to ________.
A．create some sense of humour to please the readers
B．provide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadays
C．hold the readers’ attention and arouse their curiosity to go on reading
D．declare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key to those questions
小題2:What does the conclusion of the studies of noise conducted by Bridget Shield and Julie Dockrell suggest?
A．Peaceful music plays an active role in students’ learning.
B．Not all noises have a negative impact on children’s performance.
C．We should create for school children a more peaceful environment.
D．Children with special needs might be exposed to some particular sounds.
小題3:Ravi Mehta’s experiment indicates that ________.
A．students’ creativity improves in a quiet environment
B．we may play some Mozart music while students are learning
C．a(chǎn) proper volume of background noises does improve creativity
D．noise of coffee-shop chatter is better than that of construction-site drilling
小題4:Towards the positive impact of appropriate background sound and smell on students’ learning and creativity, the author’s attitude is ________.
A．a(chǎn)mbiguousB．doubtfulC．negativeD．supportive
小題5:Which of the following is most likely to follow up the research findings?
A．Experts’ research into other senses that can improve students’ grades.
B．More successful examples of boosting learning power by using music.
C．Suggestions for pumping lots of pleasant smells into school campuses.
D．Debates on whether noises can really have positive effect on students’ performance.

Picture a library without books? Well, I can’t. Ever since I was little I would go to the library and take out numerous books. From picture books to beginning chapter books to YA books, books have always been a part of my life. Unlike many people today, I don't own a Kindle or a Nook or any type of e-reader. I prefer the old-fashioned book. There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages that I find comforting. In today's 21st century, books may become obsolete. For me that's something I find scary.
I am a fan of the old TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone. One episode（一段情節(jié)）is about a librarian who has become obsolete. Though this episode aired in 1961, the writer of the series, Rod Serling was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future.
In fact, in San Antonio, Texas the first-ever bookless library in the country opened. The library is full of iMacs, tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2. 3 million. The library offers around 10,000 e-books. So the question is, is this what the future will soon be? Mary Graham, vice president of South Carolina's Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce states, "This is the future…If you're going to be building new library facilities, this is what you need to be doing."
It is our generation that will be the guinea pigs（試驗品）of increasing technology like this. Is this a good or bad thing? Well, digital libraries may help the environment by not using paper; however, I feel like something will always be lacking with a digital book. A digital library is just the beginning.
With all of this new technology, people seem to be more absorbed in their own world. One of my biggest complaints is when I am with my friends and they can't seem to get off their smart phone and talk to me. To make plans with a friend and then have them stuck on their phone the whole time is extremely rude. Not only is it disrespectful, but it reflects the direction of where human interactions are heading. Though social media is great, it also is addicting and has negative effects.
Often when I go on Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself. I'll see many of my 800 Facebook friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college. Additionally, our society is becoming increasingly lazy. For instance, instead of doing mental math, people use their phone to solve 89 + 74. It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills.
It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions. With new technology being created every day, we need to learn how to use it alongside our great minds. After all, inventions are supposed to benefit society not harm it. In the day of technology, who knows what's next?
小題1:The underlined word "obsolete" （Paragraph l）is closest in meaning to     .
A．outdatedB．complexC．expensive D．meaningless
小題2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2_______?
A．The episode still enjoys great popularity nowadays.
B．Rod Serling liked making predictions about the future.
C．The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode.
D．The episode airing in 1961 was the most entertaining of the TV science-fiction series.
小題3:What can we learn about the library in San Antonio, Texas?
A．It is the first-ever library in America.
B．It is of no practical use although it costs so much.
C．It holds an exhibition of much electronic equipment.
D．People can read e-books there with the help of the new facilities.
小題4:Which of the following will the writer probably disagree with_______?
A．Great as social media is, it does have some negative effects.
B．With the increasing use of social media, something will actually be lost.
C．Through social media, people can develop educational and social skills around.
D．As a result of social media, people may communicate less with the people around.
小題5:The tone of the passage is best described as       .
A．OptimisticB．SkepticalC．SupportiveD．Objective

LONDON（Reuters）—Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．
“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said．“The food is free of pesticides（農(nóng)藥）, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty．” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business．

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth. Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. Imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜譜) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Syudy your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.
小題1: Imitation proves useful when you        .
A．know you are unique
B．lose the balance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
小題2:  To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.
A．forget daily fear and pain
B．choose the right example
C．a(chǎn)sk others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
小題3:.Acording to the author. The world moves on because of those who are          .
A．desperate to intruence others with their knowledge
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．willing to accept others’ ideas
小題4: The trouble a creator faces is          .
A．the lack of strong motivation
B．the absence of practical ideas
C．how to search for more materials
D．how to use imagination creatively
小題5: What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To highlight the importance of creatively.
B．To criticize the characters of role models.
C．To compare imitation with creation.
D．To explain the meaning of success.
