22、Don’t put it off, do it now!

Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.

“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.

Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system.

Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it more likely a task will be completed. The benefit is that you’ll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to do—telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.

Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful, becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.

【1】What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1?

A. It is something many people can’t help.

B. It is an excuse people often use in public.

C. It is caused by the technology in people’s life.

D. It is more common when people have small jobs to do.

【2】In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should ______.

A. attempt to overcome their natural tendencies

B. take the advice of others in the same situation

C. be aware that their problem is relatively small

D. find out more about the way they make decisions

【3】Why does Dr. Steel recommend making “pre-commitments” in Paragraph 4?

A. They are an alternative to impossible goals.

B. They make challenges feel more manageable.

C. They are an effective way of impressing others.

D. They allow people to achieve their aims sooner.

【4】What does the author do by saying the underlined sentence?

A. Encourage the reader to develop plans effectively.

B. Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly.

C. Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized.

D. Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a task.

23、How to Study Without Burning Out

You’ve signed up for classes, you’ve learned your way around the virtual course system—and now, you have to make sure you survive all the way to graduation. Laptop or paper notes? And does music help while you are studying? 【1】

Get a planner and actually use it.

You’ll have a lot going on in college, and managing your time is an important skill to master. 【2】 Write everything down: your classes, your work shifts, assignments and meetings. Let your schedule help you find time to complete smaller tasks and keep track of bigger deadlines.

Don’t just put information into your brain.

【3】 When you reread and highlight, you’re only focused on getting information in, not doing any retrieving (回忆). Research shows that when we engage in the process of clearly retrieving, we actually organize concepts and create a better structure for what we’re understanding. So through the process of retrieving, we help make sense of what we’re trying to learn.

【4】

Students who lack sleep show many of the same symptoms as students diagnosed (诊断) with attention disorders. Emotional problems can also throw off a student’s focus and prevent learning. If you’re really sleepy or if you’re really struggling emotionally, there’s not a lot of motivation to get up and go to class or do your work or put the effort in what needs to be done.

Let go of the shame around mental health problems.

Mental health issues are continual among college students. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. One out of two Americans over their lifetime will have a diagnosable mental health disorder. They’re highly treatable. 【5】

A．Take care of yourself.

B．It’s not something to be scared about.

C．Think of learning as a two-way street.

D．Here’s what to do if you do feel crushed.

E．Use your planner to control your schedule.

F．And have you got ready for your graduation?

G．Work out to get rid of your mental problems.
