题目
资料:Procrastination comes in many disguises. We might resolve to tackle a task, but find endless reasons to defer it. We might prioritize things we can readily tick off our to-do list- answering emails, say- while leaving the big, complex stuff untouched for another day. We can look and feel busy. while artfully avoiding the tanks that really matter. And when we look at those rolling, long untouched items at the bottom of our to-do list, we can't help but feel a little disappointed in ourselves.
The problem is our brains are programmed to procrastinate. In general, we all tend to struggle with task that promise future upside in return for efforts we take now. That's because it's easier for our brains to process concrete rather than abstract things, and the immediate hassle is very tangible compared with those unknowable, uncertain future benefits. So the short-term effort easily dominates the long-term upside in our minds--an example of something that behavioral scientists call present bias.
How can you become less myopic about your elusive tasks? It's all about rebalancing the cost benefit analysis: make the benefits of action feel bigger, and the costs of action feel smaller. The reward for doing a pestering task needs to feel larger than the immediate pain of tacking it.
To make the benefits of action feel bigger and more real:
Visualize how great it will be to get it done. Researchers have discovered that people are more likely to save for their future retirement if they're shown digitally aged photographs of themselves. Why? Because it makes their future self feel more real-making the future benefits of saving also feel more weighty.

What is the best title for this passage?

A.How to beat procrastination
B.Our brain and procrastination
C.Benefits and costs of procrastination
D.The perils of procrastination

第3题:

Our dream is the song of our soul. Life without one is reduced to a hollow existence. But life with a dream is filled with meaning and purpose.

Most of us have a dream, or heart's desire. But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. Whenever we say, I can’t, we set the switch to OFF. Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. Simple, isn't it? Just because I believe I can do something doesn't mean there won’t be any problems. But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.

Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing. Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment. As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released. What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance. But we won’t reach this stage until we decide to stop talking and start acting. Unless we commit ourselves, self-doubt will ferment and block our way.

Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone's day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of aprominent person? Of course not. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.

No dream is too small; no dream is too big, so hold on to your dream. Langston Hughes tells why, Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.So,what are you waiting for? Follow your dream!

(1)According to the author, dreams ___________.

A、refer to dreams in our sleep

B、refer to dreams in the daytime

C、gives meaning and purpose to our life

D、enables life to be a hollow existence

(2)What are the stages in following a dream?

A、Setting the switch of our dream on, making a commitment, and releasing the power.

B、Setting the switch of our dream on, committing ourselves, and following the dream.

C、Believing we can do it, committing ourselves, and acting.

D、Believing we can do it, acting and making a commitment.

(3)What does the dream of the author's aunt illustrate?

A、To illustrate we should commit ourselves and start acting.

B、To illustrate our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.

C、To illustrate her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson.

D、To illustrate we all have the power to follow a dream.

(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A、Whether the switch of your dream is ON or OFF is left entirely to yourself.

B、If we believe we can do it, there won’t be any problems.

C、We will find what we look for.

D、The author's aunt's dream was not any less significant than that of a prominent person.

(5)The passage mainly tells us that __________.

A、a dream gives meaning and purpose to our life.

B、if dreams die, life will become meaningless.

C、we should follow our dream which will make a difference to us and other people.

D、a worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing.
