16、0.00)Procrastination (犹豫不决) is a disease of the mind. 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-confidence and are likely to experience anxiety. The research has shown, what is mo

17、re, 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 Canada is reported to have serious problems with procrastination. “when we say s

18、erious 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 of the population.“ In a society driven by achievement, it is little w

19、onder 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. In exchange for $ 19.95, Dr. Jerome Murray will send out an audio-cas

20、sette called “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination.“ Dr. Murray promises that if you follow his step-by-step rules you will be empowered to “turn self-defeat into self-realization“. “Since the start of the 1990s, procrastination has been taken more and more seriously,“ said Dr. Robe

21、rts, 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.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main topic of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Dont hesitate to giv

25、husiasm.C.Procrastination has been taken more and more seriously.D.Turn self-defeat into self-realization.Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets 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 at

26、mosphere 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 decides to teach a bird, training a parro

27、t 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. In fact, a parrot will overeat. Still

28、 another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain-along 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

29、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 time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrots native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly value

30、d gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated 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

32、 being uncontrolled or fierceD.the quality of being gentle or trained(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 ve

33、ry cold areas(5).The writer ( ).（分数：2.00）A.likes the parrotB.dislikes the 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 w

34、orld 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 hospital I rent a set of rooms in Vincent Square for which I pa

35、id 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when T 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

36、 milk. I could be 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 (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 migh

37、t 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 during my last year at the hospital and it was success

38、ful. 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 realize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.（分

Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting h

43、is 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 addition,

44、life is always presenting new things to the children-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 done w

45、rong. 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 brea

46、ks 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 building up for himself his own position in society.（分数：10.00）(1).People can experience happiness if they
