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.
