Many parents have the experience of watching their children put off important schoolwork or studying until it is a stressful situation. In fact, procrastination (拖延症) isn’t just unpleasant.
1. Here is some bad influence of procrastination:
Everything takes longer than it needs to.
The most obvious problem with procrastination is that it wastes time. 2. Dinner that can be finished within half an hour takes one hour. Often, children who procrastinate do everything school-related at the last minute-or worse-they run out of hours in the day and waste away all their time.
Children keep themselves from being a better person.
What children don’t realize when they repeatedly procrastinate is that they are not reaching their potential (潜力). The time they waste instead of spending doing what they need to do is the time when they could improve themselves. 3..
Procrastination puts children in the bad situation of having something to do and not enough time to do it. 4. In the end, this can cause children to feel disappointed (失望的) in themselves.
5.
If a child keeps waiting until the last minute to study and do homework, how can he or she earn a good grade? In the long run, children simply cannot reach goals they set for themselves.
A.It can be very harmful.
B.It prevents children from achieving success.
C.There are many reasons why children procrastinate.
D.That will surely lead to stress for children and their parents.
E.Homework that could be done within an hour takes a whole night.
F.They could have got more knowledge or developed more interests.
G.Procrastination is a habit which is quickly formed and hard to break
"When I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, an engineer who designed the world's first ocean plastic cleanup system.
Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme. It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat created the Ocean Cleanup, an environmental non¬governmental organization, and put his plan for an ocean cleanup device into action.
After years of research and develop¬ment in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-meter-long C-shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device. A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt（挡板）attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.
Right now, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is 3 times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.
"It remains to be seen whether this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused," Slat said. "We are starting to see a young generation that gets it and is excited about a sustainable （可持续的）future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?"
1.The underlined word “match” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A.compare B.equal
C.measure D.cover
2.Why did Boyan Slat create the Ocean Cleanup?
A.To collect ocean plastic waste.
B.To help to invent System 001/B.
C.To protect the living environment of fish.
D.To do research on the ocean environment.
3.What can we know about System 001/B?
A.It can collect and recycle garbage at the same time.
B.It can only gather ocean waste which floats on the water.
C.It aims to clear up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.
D.It is an ocean-cleaning device which has already been put to use.
4.What does Slat want to tell us according to the last paragraph?
A.Young generations care less about the environment.
B.The future ecology of the oceans is deeply worrying.
C.People should work hard to decrease plastic pollution.
D.It's quite difficult to repair the damage to the environment.
Last weekend in Washington, D.C. 30 young researchers from across the nation were preparing for a competition. In a sense, all were winners already. After all, each had to beat out hundreds of others for the chance to arrive in the final. But only one competitor would take home the top prize: an educational award worth $25,000. Finally, Alaina Gassler, 14, won the top prize.
Alaina was one of the 30 finalists from 13 states who competed in the ninth yearly Broadcom MASTERS competition. Alaina and the other finalists had to be in sixth, seventh or eighth grade to attend the competition. What’s more, their research had to be judged within the top 10 percent of all projects. As usual, those projects all fell within the fields of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. Fifteen of the finalists took home major awards. For the first time this year, 60g% of the finalists were women.
Alaina developed a system whose goal is to improve driving safety. “Congratulations to Alaina, whose project has the possibility of reducing the number of traffic accidents,” said Maya Ajmera, president of Science and the Public, the organization that created the competition.
Alaina goes to school in West Grove, Pennsylvania. “I didn’t think I’d win an award this big.” she said. For her project, Alaina developed a system that could reduce blind spots for drivers. Such areas can hide objects or other cars from a driver’s view, and thus easily lead to accidents.
Alaina’s system depends on a camera fixed on the front part of the passenger-side window. It can monitor (监视) things a driver can’t see. The camera records a video of what it’s seeing and at the same time sends it to a projector (投影仪) fixed over the driver’s head. That projector plays the video on a screen, which is fixed on the passenger-side roof support. In this way, the blind spots are decreased.
1.What do we know about the competition?
A.It encourages teamwork. B.It is meant for college students.
C.It encourages theory exploration. D.It is a fierce national competition.
2.What is special about this year’s competition?
A.More winners stand out. B.More girls perform better.
C.All of the projects are more useful. D.Half of the competitors are awarded.
3.How does Alaina Gassler feel about her prize?
A.Surprised. B.Satisfied. C.Encouraged. D.Puzzled.
4.What plays the biggest role in Alaina Gassler’s system?
A.The projector. B.The monitor. C.The camera. D.The screen.
While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences. One man stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First the man walked up to his oldest son. He cupped his face in his hands and said, “You’re already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach!”
Then he went to his youngest son. They gave each other a long, loving hug. Then I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” With his eyes turning away and his face becoming redder, his son replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!”
While this was happening, a baby girl was moving excitedly in her mother’s arms. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!” And then he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over.
After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and said, “I’ve saved the best for the last!” He walked forward to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing.
It seemed that they just got married, but I knew by the age of their kids that they had been married for long. I pondered it for a moment and couldn’t help asking. “Wow! How long have you two been married?”
“Been together fourteen years in total, and been married twelve of those.” he replied. “Well then, how long have you been separated?” I asked. The man smiled, “Two whole days!”
Two days? I was shocked. Judging from the greeting. I had thought they’d been separated for at least several months. I said almost immediately, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!”
The man suddenly stopped smiling. He said something that left me a different person. He told me, “Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he gave me his wonderful smile again. They left together happily.
