Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test？Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology？Sure you do？And who wouldn't？But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time．Here is why…
61．B The task will be still the same．It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it．As the deadline gets closer and closer，the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work．And the stress increases．Now not only do you have to write that paper，you have to do it under great pressure．
62．F Before you start，it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished．But you know what？You're probably miscalculating．Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought．Result？You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to．Things are guaranteed-100percent-to get better．
63．E If you leave your work before the night before it's due，you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor．Professors regularly give advice-or at least a few useful tips-during office hours．Unfortunately，though，they don't usually hold office hours at midnight，so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade．
64．C Ever wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due？It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue，or doing the research，for two weeks．No，not every waking moment，but at least some of the time．After all，the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking．When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute，your ideas are half-baked．And your professor will know it．
65．A If you put things off at the last minute，you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks．It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness，family problems，computer breakdowns，trouble at work，and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test．If you keep delaying，you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse （不利的） effect on your ability to complete your assignment．
分析 本篇講的是把任務(wù)推到明天這樣一個習(xí)慣的壞處，分五段分析分析了五種壞處：明天不一定會更好；你可能高估了痛苦的力量；得到幫助的機(jī)會可能會喪失；有時候想法和見解是需要時間去培養(yǎng)和發(fā)展的；時間會流逝．
解答 61．答案：B．根據(jù)后面的兩句"The task will be still the same．It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it．"可以推斷，本段談?wù)摰闹黝}把工作留給將來做不是好主意．
62．答案：F．根據(jù)前兩句"…it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished．But…miscalculating…maybe it's a small place…h(huán)ave more…more…than you though．"可以判斷，該段講的是：沒有開始的時候，會覺得工作不可能完成．但是人們會估計錯誤．做起來以后，就會覺得其實自己比想像的要強多了，自己完全能勝任的．結(jié)果就是一定能夠做成功，做得更好．
63．答案：E．根據(jù)下一句"If you leave your work…，you give up the possibility of…give advice，"以及"Unfortunately，though…so you'll be out of luck…"可以得知本句主題為：把事情放到最后一刻去做，將會放棄得到幫助的機(jī)會．
64．答案：C．根據(jù)"No，not every waking moment，but at least some of the time．"以及"your ideas are halfbaked"可知，該段主要講述"有時候想法和見解是需要時間去培養(yǎng)和發(fā)展的"．
65．答案：A．根據(jù)本段第一句"If you put things off till the last minute…"和"…you don't allow yourself time for those…"可知，如果人們習(xí)慣于將事情推到最后一刻去做，將可能發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有預(yù)留出足夠的時間完成要做的各種事情．
