閱讀理解

　　I shall never forget the night，a few years ago，when Marion J．Douglas was a student in one of my adult-education classes．He told us how tragedy had struck at his home，not once，but twice．The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter．He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days．”

　　This double bereavement was almost too much to bear．“I couldn’t take it，” this father told us，“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax．My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone．”At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped．He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice(大鉗子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter．” The tension of grief(悲傷)－if you have ever been paralyzed(使癱瘓)by sorrow，you know what he meant．

　　“But thank God，I had one child left－a four-year-old son．He gave me the solution to my problem．One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no mood to build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything．But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in．Building that toy boat took me about three hours．By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking．In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring．So I determined to keep busy．”

　　“The following night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done．Scores of items needed to be repaired．Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention．During the last two years I have completed most of them．I am busy so that I have no time for worry．”

　　No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war．When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy．I have no time for worry．”

(1)

The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _________．

[　　]

A．

having lost a loved one

B．

having lost a valuable article

C．

having lost a profit-making business

D．

having lost a well-paid job

(2)

Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because _________．

[　　]

A．

he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family

B．

he was suffering from sleeplessness disease

C．

he couldn’t get out of mental pressure

D．

he felt tired of adult-education classes

(3)

Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because _________．

[　　]

A．

he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them

B．

he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them

C．

the items had actually been broken and needed attention

D．

repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind

(4)

At the end of the passage，the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to _________．

[　　]

A．

prove that he followed Churchill’s example

B．

support his student’s solution to his problem

C．

show that he was successful in his career

　　　　　　　　Getting to Now: How to Beat the Procrastination Habit

　　I am a procrastinator(拖拉者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniques I've been using to try to force myself to get to now:

　　Set aside blocks of time to do things. When I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. “　1.　,” I said. “Something always comes up.” She wasn’t impressed. “J.D.,” she said, “You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride.” The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.

　　　2.　. Often I’ll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done — mending the fence, for example. “　3.　,” I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment,which I usually do.)

　　Use a timer to bring you back to reality. Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer. 　 4.　. One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off, 　 5.　: Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?

　　Do not multitask. I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.

　　A. I’m always lost in thought

　　B. it brings me back to reality

　　C. If it comes to mind, then do it

　　D. I don’t have the time

　　E. it serves as an instant reality check

　　F. Do it right away if you are asked to do something

　　G. I need to write that down so I can remember it
