Lazy people will never achieve anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
1.Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting yow sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from project to project.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each project or task as a challenge they must overcome alone.2.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often promotes laziness3.Complete a certain number of chores and reward yourself with a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with quickly.4.Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own chores.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
5.Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help boost your mood.
A.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
B.Om way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
D.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
E.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

Living in the wild can be hard.Finding food and staying safe aren't easy.Each day,animals struggle to survive in their habitats.Not all animals get by on their own.Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals. These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships.
In a symbiotic relationship,the animals depend on each other.One animal helps the other meet its needs.Sounds good,right?Not always.Some animals are not very kind to their partners.In some cases,one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.Take ticks,for example.These insects suck blood to live.To get blood,they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.
In other relationships,animals don't treat their partners so poorly Both animals benefit from living with the other animal.

Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business.They have big customers—crocodiles.Crocs have long snouts(鼻子)filled with sharp teeth,Cleaning them is tricky.When a croc opens its mouth,the plover hops right in.The croc does not snap its snout shut.Instead,it lets the plover eat small,harmful animals attached to its teeth.The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth.
