A scientific study in recent years has shown that it is a close relative of sadness and attention di

18、sorder; that procrastinators tend to be the result of low self-confidence 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 tha

19、t about a quarter of the adult population of the United States and Canada is reported to have serious problems with procrastination. “ when we say serious we mean people for whom procrastination causes great discomfort and suffering. We ve found that such people are more troubled by daily life than

20、others, that possibility of anxieiy is much higher among them than in the rest 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

21、experts offering solutions. Many books and specialist solutions have appeared. In exchange for $19. 95, Dr. Jerome Murray will send out an audio-cassette called “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination. “ Dr. Murray promises that if you follow his step-by-step rules you will be empower

22、ed to “turn self-defeat into self-realization“. “Since the start of the 1990s, procrastination 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 heath problem and is bei

27、s in America for good reasons. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily 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 “P

28、retty boy“or “Polly wants a cracker, “and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides 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 ex

29、ample, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house-sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. 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 foo

30、d, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grainalong with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason 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 fo

31、r many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, 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 apprecia

32、ted by a growing number of people.（分数：10.00）(1).A parrot can be trained to do all the following but_.（分数：2.00）A.talkB.help its ownerC.singD.create a lively atmosphere(2).Which of the following is NOT a reason for the easy raising of the parrot?（分数：2.00）A.It eats very little.B.Its food is inexpensive

33、.C.It does not need a house-sitter.D.It does not require daily walks as dogs do.(3).The word “tameness“in the passage means_.（分数：2.00）A.the quality of being brave or unafraidB.the quality of being kind or warm-heartedC.the quality of being uncontrolled or fierceD.the quality of being gentle or train

34、ed(4).The word “jungle“probably means_.（分数：2.00）A.boundless desert with very little plant lifeB.large apartment building with pleasing surroundingsC.wild land overgrown with thick bushes and treesD.snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas(5).The writer_.（分数：2.00）A.likes the parrotB.dislikes the

35、parrotC.doesnt care about the parrotD.values the parrot highlyIn my long life I have seen many changes in our habits and customs and conditions in general. I think 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

36、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 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

37、 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-pence I lunched at St. Thomas on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary in

38、struments, clothe myself, and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn (当掉) my microscope for three pounds. I spent five years at St. Thomas hospital. 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 write

39、r, 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 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

40、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 realize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.（分数：10.00）(1).The text is a talk given by the author when_.（分数：2.00）A.he wa

41、s 18B.his first novel was publishedC.he graduated from the school of medicineD.he was at an advanced age(2).The author graduated from the school of medicine when he was_.（分数：2.00）A.18B.28C.23D.30(3).“And I could always pawn my microscope for three pounds“ means the author could always _.（分数：2.00）A.e

44、ears 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 wasting his time in useless regrets. Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life d

45、ifficult. 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 addition, life is always presenting new things to the childrenthings that have lost their int

46、erest 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 done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect othe

47、rs 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 breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to pri

48、son.
