In an effort to inform our citizens to clear the street snow, the city adopts a snow removal plan.
Routes used by City Emergency Services come first. Secondly, connector streets will be cleared which allow citizens the greatest access to public roads. And thirdly, roads within neighborhoods will be cleared.
Snow removal and ice control will start when:
* Snow accumulates 4 inches or more.
* Weather conditions do not endanger the safety of road crew.
* Snow falls during peak traffic periods of heavy use of main streets.
Snow and ice removal will be delayed or cancelled when:
* There is severe cold, significant wind and limited visibility.
* The snowfall occurs on the weekend or a holiday and is not considered a threat to public safety. In that case, snow and ice removal may take place on the next normal weekday.
* Snow and ice may be left on roadways if melting is obvious.
Your cooperation is requested during snow removal and these suggestions may apply:
* Limit travel during storms. Travel is possible once roads have been cleared or salted by the road crew
* Avoid removing snow from your driveway into the road. Pile the snow in your yard.
* Park your vehicles in your driveways and off the road or walkwalks.
* Keep public sidewalks next to your house clear of snow and ice.
* Be responsible for removing this snow which is thrown by the snow plough(犁) from your driveways. Hopefully, you can understand this inconvenience.

To get profession instructions, we left for Beijing to visit a chief editor of Beijing Review, the famous English journal. Busy as he was, he showed me around, explaining us the amazing history of the journal and its production process. Beside, he offered us lots of tip, which were practical and valuable.

Have you ever frequently put off things you should do for various reasons? If so, it is procrastination (拖延). Procrastinators often put off doing things and leave them to the very last moment. 1.Lazy people simply don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can’t force themselves to start.
You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort. 2.
Don’t place too much pressure on yourself. “This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,” 3. Overcome this mental block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.
4. Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way — to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don’t write a book; write a page.
Focus on starting, rather than finishing. For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. 5. We all know that if we start, we’ll eventually finish the task.
A.Break a long project down into short tasks.
B.So procrastination is about managing the time.
C.So we should apply ourselves to overcoming it.
D.However, procrastination is different from laziness.
E.Focus on the negative effects of the procrastination.
F.Bring your focus from the future to what can be done right now.
G.Placing such high hopes on a project only adds anxiety and fear of failure.
