Easy Ways to Get Over Your Laziness
Laziness appears for very specific reasons. Maybe we don’t know how to do the task. 1.. Maybe we are just plain scared and our mindset needs adjustment. Whatever the cause, if laziness is interfering with your productivity, you must learn to overcome it. Here are several ways to overcome your laziness so you can reach your goals.
Make sure you’re not overwhelmed(不堪重负的).
Sometimes we freeze up when we’re overwhelmed by everything we have to do--we freeze up and don’t do anything at all. 2.. If you have too much on your plate and no idea how you’re going to get it all done, it may be that you’re not lazy but overwhelmed.
Check your motivation.
Similarly, if you’re not motivated it is very easy to slip into what looks like laziness. 3.. If it’s hard for you to stay connected to what motivates you, make up a list that you can consult when you need an extra push.
4..
Your environment and the people around you matter. Are you in a space that makes it easy to stay organized and productive? Do the people around you spend more time complaining than following their passions? If you surround yourself with people who love what they do, and are creative and motivated, their enthusiasm will rub off on you. Make sure that your space gives you everything you need to work well.
Value your time.
5.. Look at your to-do list and prioritize（优先）—you can do it in your head, on paper, or on a computer or phone-based planner. Just knowing where you are makes it harder for deadlines to sneak up on you and easier to work productively, even if it’s in short bursts.
A.Look at your surroundings.
B.To be productive we need to be motivated.
C.Make the most of the time you spend working.
D.So select just one thing at a time, do it, and ignore the rest.
E.Maybe we feel overwhelmed by everything we have to do.
F.We may procrastinate（拖延）because we are not sure what to do next.
G.Do you have realistic expectations on how much you are truly able to accomplish?
Late blight (晚疫病) is a common disease of plants such as tomatoes and potatoes, capable of wiping out entire crops on commercial-sized fields. If conditions are favorable, it can quickly spread to other plants through wet soil and wind.
In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are often the hardest hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.
But farmers may have a new weapon now. The technology, designed by researchers at North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.
Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals have accumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.
The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.
1.What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The damage caused by late blight.
B.The money put into late blight treatment.
C.The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.
D.The yearly production of small farms and growers.
2.According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected?
A.By treating the plant with special dyes.
B.By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.
C.By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.
D.By examining the land with a smartphone reader.
3.What do the researchers expect of their new technology?
A.It’ll reach farmers soon.
B.It’ll get rid of late blight.
C.It’ll be beneficial to the climate.
D.It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.
4.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce a test method of late blight.
B.To explain the causes of late blight.
C.To discuss the effects of late blight.
D.To tell the history of late blight.
