How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to 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 your 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 task to task.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each 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 contributes to laziness.3. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as 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 immediately.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 task.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 lift your spirits.
A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for the children.
On the broad landing between Miss Havisham’s own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out,I saw a garden chair—a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind.It had been placed there since my last visit,and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room,and across the landing and round the other room,which,from that day on,became my regular job.
As we began to be more used to one another,Miss Havisham talked more to me,and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe,my sister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything,in the hope that she might offer some help.But,she did not; on the contrary,she seemed to prefer my being ignorant.Neither did she ever give me any money—or anything but my daily dinner—nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.
Estella was always about,and always let me in and out,but never told me I might kiss her again.Sometimes,she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes,she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes,she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes,she would tell me energetically that she hated me.Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper,or when we were alone,“Does she grow prettier and prettier,Pip?” And when I said yes,Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily.Also,when we played cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella’s moods,whatever they were.And sometimes,when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do,Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness,saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope,break their hearts and have no mercy!”

B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.
C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.
D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.
3.What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?

C. Warmhearted. D. Indifferent.
4.Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because .
A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip
B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods

Cloning has the potential to change society. For some,it’s a welcome development designed to make our lives easier. For others,it represents a threat to the health and balance of society,especially from a moral perspective(角度). Looking at these cloning pros and cons,it’s important to consider the scientific,financial,and social aspects of cloning processes.
From a scientific perspective,cloning can be considered major progress. Scientists aren’t limited by population. It’s also possible to clone pieces of living things.
However,cloning changes the natural order of life and death. Why should scientists have to treat an animal well in the lab if they can just make more? As a result,scientists may become lazy or careless with the living things they work on.
Cloning is a major business. Medical research groups have invested millions of dollars in making cloning possible. As a result,they can make big profits from selling cloning services to hospitals and the public. However,the wealth they achieve doesn’t mean that cloning itself is a profitable trial. For example,while a company may clone an organ,its price may be too high to afford. As a result,only rich people and governments could use cloning products.
As a whole,cloning for society can be debated for hours. On one hand,you have religious groups,who say that cloning is wrong. On the other hand,you have many people who are looking forward to making clones of themselves so that the clone can serve as a worker and leave the original person to enjoy a life of relaxation and wealth.
1.We can conclude from the first paragraph that ________.
A. opinions about cloning vary from person to person
B. more people think little of the benefits of cloning
C. cloning has the potential to change society for better
D. people should think of cloning in a more scientific way
2.Why do some people think cloning has a bad effect on scientific experiments?
A. More money may be spent on cloning other living things.
B. Scientists will become careless with their experiments.
C. Cloning may disturb the balance of nature and wildlife.
D. Scientists may ignore the living things they work on.
3.What is the disadvantage of cloning products put into the market?
A. More fake cloning products will crowd into the market soon.
B. Only a limited group would have access to cloning products.
C. Patients have to buy cloning products from hospitals or governments.
D. Scientists may pay attention to quantity of cloning products rather than quality.
