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 scientists 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.

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.

2.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

3.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．

4.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!

What’s black and white and read all over? Not newspapers, at least not anymore. In fact, if you’re like most young people, you probably don’t read the newspaper at all.

In one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18 to 34-year-old said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local TV news and 44 percent visit Internet news sites daily. As people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less.

“There’s a revolution (革命) in the way young people get news,” says media consultant Merrill Brown.

Just a generation (一代人) or two ago, the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. Now, nearly every home has at least one TV set. There’s high-speed, wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.

You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. Thanks to new technology, if you want to know what’s going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one.

So newspapers face a very big challenge. Raised on MTV and video games, today’s kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, quick information, and the chance to interact (互動(dòng)) in real time, even when they’re reading about serious problems.

If newspapers can’t find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely.

Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end, lack (缺乏) of interaction. With Web pages, on the other hand, there’s more freedom. You can look through the things you’re interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other people’s opinions on a topic, or start a blog to express your own views.

1.This passage is mainly about ______.

A. the disappearing newspaper B. different news sources

C. the future of the Internet D. the new technologies

2.From the survey, we can see that ______.

A. TV has become the major source of news

B. newspapers are no longer the major source of news

C. more than half of the 18-to-34-year-old visit news sites daily

D. new technologies have replaced the traditional one

3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the disadvantage of newspapers?

A. High price. B. Lack of changes.

C. Slow speed. D. Lack of interaction.

4.The author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers is ______.

A. attractive B. bright

C. hopeless D. uncertain
