[2024·吉林省吉林大学附属中学高三一模]Like many writers, I'm a supreme expert at prcrastinatin (拖延症). When I ught t be wrking n an assignment, with the clck ticking twards my deadline, I'll sit there watching pintless interviews r cat vides n YuTube.
Accrding t traditinal thinking—I, alng with my fellw prcrastinatrs, have a time management prblem. By this view, I haven't fully appreciated hw lng my assignment is ging t take and I'm nt paying enugh attentin t hw much time I'm currently wasting n vides. With better scheduling, I will stp prcrastinating and get n with my wrk.
Increasingly, hwever, psychlgists are realizing this is wrng. Experts in the UK have prpsed that prcrastinatin is an issue with managing ur emtins, nt ur time. The task we're putting ff is making us feel bad—perhaps it's bring, t difficult r we're wrried abut failing—and t make urselves feel better in the mment, we start ding smething else, like watching vides.
One investigatin t inspire the emtinal view f prcrastinatin was published by researchers at Case Western Reserve University. They first prmpted peple t feel bad (by asking them t read sad stries) and shwed that this increased their tendency t prcrastinate by ding puzzles r playing vide games instead f preparing fr the test they knew was cming. Subsequent studies by the anther team als shwed lw md nly increases prcrastinatin if enjyable activities are available as a distractin.
This fresh perspective n prcrastinatin is beginning t pen up exciting new appraches t reducing the habit. An apprach, which is based n Acceptance and Cmmitment Therapy, seems especially suitable. It argues that priritizing chices and actins that help yu get clser t get things dne can keep yu away frm the unpleasant feelings. S the next time yu're ging t prcrastinate, make yur fcus as simple as “What's the next actin?”. Fcusing n this nestep questin takes yur mind ff yur feelings and nt easily achievable actin. “Our research and lived experience shw very clearly that nce we get started, we're typically able t keep ging. Getting started is everything.”
5.Which is true accrding t the traditinal view f prcrastinatrs?
A.They are usually irrespnsible peple.
B.They have difficulty in cncentrating.
C.They enjy watching vides while writing.
D.They can get wrk dne with better schedules.
6.What can we knw frm Paragraph 4?
A.Prcrastinatin bsts yur mds.
B.Prcrastinatrs prefer puzzles t sad stries.
C.Testtakers can nt escape bad emtins.
D.Negative emtins prmte prcrastinatin.
7.Why fcusing n ne simple questin is suggested?
A.It shrtens the prcess.
B.It inspires the wildest imaginatin.
C.It may relieve unpleasant feelings.
