四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
Do you often find yourself rushing to finish a report right before the deadline? Or maybe you always leave
your Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve. If so, you are a typical procrastinator.
Procrastinators are people who tend to put off doing tasks until the very last minute. Trying to avoid their
fear of failure, procrastinators actively look for distractions. They also lie to themselves by saying things like
“I’ll feel more like doing this tomorrow.” Thus, instead of getting things done, they usually end up falling
behind schedule.
With a few simple steps, however, procrastination can be overcome. Make a list of the tasks you have to do;
this helps you organize your time and your mind. You can also split up these tasks into smaller parts to make
them easier. Set realistic goals and give yourself plenty of time to complete each task. When the task is
completed, reward yourself with a treat. A reward can be a great way to motivate yourself to work harder.
As the saying goes, “Procrastination is the thief of time.” If you can stop procrastinating and take charge of
your life, you’ll be more confident than ever before.
