If you find yourself procrastinating regularly, you’re probably stuck in a habit of procrastination. Try the following methods to break it. 2 Understanding the underlying emotions causing your procrastination is the first step to changing your habit. So take a moment to dive deep into your own thoughts about your work. Are you procrastinating because you hate doing it? Or do you want to do well so badly that you’re afraid to start? Forgive your past self The next step is to let go of the anxiety and stress you may have built up from past procrastination. Sometimes, we store a lot of guilt due to missed deadlines or bad test scores. 3 . So, forgive yourself for past procrastination and let go of old mistakes. Stop your habit in its tracks If you recognize that you’re procrastinating again, take a deep breath, reevaluate your situation, and put yourself back on the right track. And as soon as you’ve noticed this procrastination, use that moment to work on whatever it is you need to do right away. 4 . Take baby steps Taking the first step to work on a project is almost always the most difficult part. 5 . After taking the first step, you’ll probably build up enough energy to take the next, and the next. Continue splitting up (分解) your goal, project, or task into its smallest parts so you only have to think of one thing at a time. A．Recognize why you procrastinate B．Analyze what takes your attention away C．Oh, it’ll be fine if I save this for tomorrow D．Take action immediately to stop the habit cycle E．But once you get going, it’s much easier to keep going F．You have to start with one small thing — not the whole thing G．These guilty feelings crowd our heads and make focusing difficult Passage 2 The secret to truly enjoying life lies in making small changes to everyday lives. Taking care of yourself and connecting with others are just some of the ways you can live a happy life. We’ve made an extensive list of practical tips. 6 Put yourself and your happiness first. While making a decision, choose the things that will make you the most pleased. 7 When you focus on your passions and interests, you’ll feel more optimistic and energized. And allow yourself to be involved in the small things that can keep your spirits up, such as going for a short walk each day. Reward yourself for making progress and continuing to grow. Make sure to celebrate even the smallest signs of progress and growth rather than only praising yourself for the successes. Give yourself an encouraging gesture or word occasionally. 8 Or, be sure to reward yourself with small breaks throughout the workday. 9 Rather than bottling up all of your thoughts and keeping them to yourself, let others know when you need something. Doing so can help you become more confident and feel like you have control over your life. When you speak your mind and live life on your own terms, you’ll be more content. Turn off the news every now and then. Consuming too much negative news can lead to stress. While it’s great to keep up with current events, the news can have a bad effect on your happiness levels if lots of negative things have happened recently. 10 If you still want to read, avoid potentially stressful topics. A．Be honest about your wants and needs. B．Don’t be afraid to seek out new experiences. C．They’ll help you enjoy your life to the fullest. D．Also, make taking care of yourself a top priority.

You may like the Humanities track but see the Sciences track to be more employable when you graduate. However, your first choice may not end up being what you like after a year. Be self-aware to think if you can still go through or shift to another track that will be better for you in the long run. Be decisive on things before it is too late. 13 A basic rule of physics is that you cannot be at two places at the same time and a basic rule of time management is that you cannot do everything all at once. You may regret not going to some activities in exchange for another, but that is life—a series of hard decisions that are equally as important as the other. Take notes and organize everything Having many subjects every day and many commitments weekly is hard. 14 . That is why it is important to take notes and have a physical copy of your lessons or meetings, which you can go back to. Ask for help In SHS, you will face many challenges in life and school.

Once we start having difficulty reading the newspapers and getting migraines (偏头痛), then we begin to wonder whether all those late nights sitting in front of our computers were really such a great idea. 16 Eat well. What you eat has a great impact on your eyes. You’d better have a balanced diet, which includes plenty of fish and leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and eggs. These contain nutrients such as vitamins C and E. 17 A healthy diet also helps prevent obesity and diabetes, which may affect your eye health badly. Take care of our glasses. If you’ve been wearing glasses from early childhood, you were probably taught how to take care of them, but you may have grown lazy and stopped paying attention to taking care of your glasses. 18 Wipe the lenses with a soft, cotton cloth everyday, and wash the glasses with warm water and gentle soap to remove the bacteria once every two weeks. When you lay them down, make sure they’re facing upwards, and always keep them in a hard case when you aren’t using them. 19 You already know this one, but it bears repeating — stop staring at your computer screen or TV all the time. You need to take short breaks every half an hour, just a minute of looking away, or closing your eyes. Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses can make you look pretty cool. 20 Find sunglasses that are stylish and comfortable and keep them close by at all time during summer. A．And that’s a mistake. B．Don’t overuse your eyes. C．They are essential for eye health. D．Have your eyes checked regularly. E．Wearing fancy sunglasses is thought to be a good choice. F．They can also protect your eyes from the glare of the sun. G．Follow the following suggestions to keep your eyes healthy. Passage 5 Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls. 21 Here’s how you can create a new chapter in your life. Draw a Line Mentally Life is going to throw a lot of problems your way, so you need to be mentally prepared for each and every situation. 22 In order to be better than before, you need to leave that guilt and shame in the past and emerge as someone new. The secret here is to never stop trying. Once you stop trying, you are already defeated. Learn From Others It is an effective approach to find people that have gone through the same trials as you have. 23 They can assist you better since they know the hardships. Always seek out people who are truly free of their issues, as they will be able to help you genuinely. Do What Actually Works 24 Don’t follow the path to anger and destroy what is good for you. Actively engaging in battles and struggles can be challenging, but being stuck in pain and self-resentment will be even harder. Picture your goals in your mind and take sensible steps towards them with each passing day. 25 Let nothing stand in your way. A．What truly matters is how you react to them. B．You can learn from their experiences and successes. C．Live in reality and make wise choices for yourself. D．Find those who have successfully overcome similar challenges. E．In such situations, drawing a mental line can be helpful. F．Nothing should prevent you from achieving your dreams and goals. G．It is essential to stay positive and focused on what brings you joy. Passage 6 Confidence helps us take risks and push ourselves to excellence.It can also inspire more trust in other people and open doors that would remain closed otherwise.Here are a few ideas on how to build up your confidence. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Try to remember that you’re only human. 26 . Try to forgive yourself for things you did in the past so you can move on. If you’re having trouble forgiving yourself for something, try asking if you’d forgive a friend for the same mistake. 27 . Make a list of your positive qualities. It might seem silly, but sit down and write out a list.Start with five things that you like about yourself and try to add something to the list every day. For example, you could write, “I’m kind, I’m loving, I’m passionate about art, I’m creative, and I’m a good friend.” 28 , try asking your loved ones what they like about you to get you started. 29 . Negative people tend to lower your confidence. Instead, spend time with friends and family members who inspire you and push you to be your best self. You’ll know someone is good to be around if you feel excited and happy to hang out with them. Learn a new skill. 30 . If you’ve never tried playing chess before, play a few online games to get the hang of it. If you aren’t the best cook, try making a dish you’ve never had. By doing so, you can improve your confidence slowly and steadily.

But, it’s often in the most difficult moments, in the ashes of defeat, that we find our greatest opportunities for growth. 31 This guide will look into the common challenges associated with learning from failure and how to overcome them. ● Dealing with emotional stress and burnout Failure often comes with a heavy emotional burden. 32 The first step in overcoming this challenge is acknowledging these emotions. It’s okay to feel disappointed — but don’t let your failure define you. Instead, view it as a temporary setback, not an endpoint. ● Maintaining focus and vision After a failure, it’s easy to lose sight of your original vision. But maintaining your focus on your long-term goals is critical. Take a step back, reflect on your vision, and rearrange your strategies accordingly. Yes, you might need to adjust your plans or timelines, but don’t let failure ruin your overall vision. 33 ● Continuous learning and skill development The greatest lesson from failure is the opportunity to learn. Develop a growth mindset and invest in continuous learning — attend workshops, read books, or take online courses. 34 Analyze your mistakes, draw lessons, and use those insights to refine your strategies. With each failure, you’re beginning with more experience. ● Accepting failure as a pathway to success 35 It’s merely a detour on the road to success. It offers an incomparable opportunity for growth and innovation. By addressing these challenges with the right mindset, you can transform your setbacks into comebacks and transform failure into your stepping-stone towards success. A．Don’t forget that failure itself is a teacher. B．Learning from failure can be complicated. C．To strike this balance, make data-driven decisions. D．Failure is not the opposite of success — it’s a part of it. E．You can adapt to changes and avoid the same mistakes. F．You kicked off this journey for a reason — hold onto that. G．Feelings of inadequacy, stress, and fear can quickly lead to burnout. Passage 8 The storms in our lives often leave behind gifts if we open our eyes to see them. As the skies clear and you start to emerge from the loss, look for the silver linings. 36 Going through difficulties requires courage and determination. You have to dig deep and find the strength you didn’t know you possessed to overcome the challenges. 37 That self-knowledge and confidence in your abilities will serve you well going forward. Coming out the other side of trouble sometimes gives you a fresh outlook. Priorities shift. 38 You have a deeper appreciation for life’s simple moments and clarity about what matters. Use that insight to guide your choices and cherish each day. 39 The old way of doing things no longer works, so you must rebuild and reimagine your life. Though change is hard, it opens up possibilities for new growth and exciting adventures. Look at this as a chance for a fresh start. You can pursue new dreams or make along-wished-for switch in your situation. The future is unwritten. Your struggles and pain have given you understanding for what others maybe going through in their own lives. You now recognize the suffering of people around you and desire to help ease their burdens. Use your experience to be there for friends and family members facing difficulties. 40 Your sympathy can make a real difference. A．Dramatic changes often lead to transformation. B．They’re there if you are bent on searching for them. C．Offer a listening ear and share your story with them. D．Storms shape us, but the silver linings make us suffer. E．What seemed important before now pales in comparison. F．Now you know you have the inner power to weather storms. G．This new perspective removed previous doubt about yourself. Passage 9 A student named Bruce sent me an email. He said, “My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams. 41 . Why do adults connect everything with school grades?” The following are my tips about his problem: I understand your problem, and this must be frustrating to hear. Studies are important in a young person’s life. 42 . However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school. For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. 43 . However, if you feel that your parents are putting you under too much pressure, then be honest and tell them how you feel. This way in the future when you have more exams, they will be less likely to put you in such an awkward situation, in which your results directly determine how they treat you. 44 if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive (产生反效果的) for your exam performance. It may be a long time since your parents were at school so they may find it difficult to understand your situation. I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came. 45 , instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result. As a general rule for exams, try to make sure you have a schedule that allows you time to relax. I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused. Be honest with your parents. At the end of the day, you are still fortunate enough that you have the chance of a trip after the exams are over. A．But if I don’t, they will cancel the trip B．Don’t expect much from them C．I always found it best to focus on the task at hand D．Your parents want to reward you for your hard work E．I feel full of confidence and so open to possibilities F．They may think differently about how they offer motivation G．Try and let this potential reward motivate you if you can $$ Unit 1 七选五练习 目录 精练篇 1 Passage 1 1 基础篇 4 Passage 1 4 Passage 2 6 Passage 3 7 拔高篇 10 Passage 4 10 Passage 5 12 Passage 6 14 Passage 7 16 Passage 8 18 Passage 9 20 精练篇 Passage 1 How to Design a Small Garden 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. 46 .

Taking care of yourself and connecting with others are just some of the ways you can live a happy life. We’ve made an extensive list of practical tips. 6 Put yourself and your happiness first. While making a decision, choose the things that will make you the most pleased. 7 When you focus on your passions and interests, you’ll feel more optimistic and energized. And allow yourself to be involved in the small things that can keep your spirits up, such as going for a short walk each day. Reward yourself for making progress and continuing to grow. Make sure to celebrate even the smallest signs of progress and growth rather than only praising yourself for the successes. Give yourself an encouraging gesture or word occasionally. 8 Or, be sure to reward yourself with small breaks throughout the workday. 9 Rather than bottling up all of your thoughts and keeping them to yourself, let others know when you need something. Doing so can help you become more confident and feel like you have control over your life. When you speak your mind and live life on your own terms, you’ll be more content. Turn off the news every now and then. Consuming too much negative news can lead to stress. While it’s great to keep up with current events, the news can have a bad effect on your happiness levels if lots of negative things have happened recently. 10 If you still want to read, avoid potentially stressful topics. A．Be honest about your wants and needs. B．Don’t be afraid to seek out new experiences. C．They’ll help you enjoy your life to the fullest. D．Also, make taking care of yourself a top priority. E．Invest your time and resources in improving yourself. F．Even just skipping it for a day or two might help ease your worry. G．Buy yourself a treat whenever you cross something off your to-do list. 【答案】6．C 7．D 8．G 9．A 10．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何真正地享受生活的几点实用建议。 6．上文“Taking care of yourself and connecting with others are just some of the ways you can live a happy life. We’ve made an extensive list of practical tips. (照顾好自己和与他人建立联系只是你过上幸福生活的一些方式。我们列出了大量实用技巧)”介绍照顾好自己并与他人建立良好关系只是你可以过上幸福生活的一些方式，我们列出了广泛的实用技巧，故空处内容应与这些技巧有关，因此C项“它们会帮你最大程度地享受生活”符合语境，故选C。 7．上文“Put yourself and your happiness first.

Doing so can help you become more confident and feel like you have control over your life.

Once we start having difficulty reading the newspapers and getting migraines (偏头痛), then we begin to wonder whether all those late nights sitting in front of our computers were really such a great idea. 16 Eat well. What you eat has a great impact on your eyes. You’d better have a balanced diet, which includes plenty of fish and leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and eggs. These contain nutrients such as vitamins C and E. 17 A healthy diet also helps prevent obesity and diabetes, which may affect your eye health badly. Take care of our glasses. If you’ve been wearing glasses from early childhood, you were probably taught how to take care of them, but you may have grown lazy and stopped paying attention to taking care of your glasses. 18 Wipe the lenses with a soft, cotton cloth everyday, and wash the glasses with warm water and gentle soap to remove the bacteria once every two weeks. When you lay them down, make sure they’re facing upwards, and always keep them in a hard case when you aren’t using them. 19 You already know this one, but it bears repeating — stop staring at your computer screen or TV all the time. You need to take short breaks every half an hour, just a minute of looking away, or closing your eyes. Wear sunglasses.

But, it’s often in the most difficult moments, in the ashes of defeat, that we find our greatest opportunities for growth. 31 This guide will look into the common challenges associated with learning from failure and how to overcome them. ● Dealing with emotional stress and burnout Failure often comes with a heavy emotional burden. 32 The first step in overcoming this challenge is acknowledging these emotions. It’s okay to feel disappointed — but don’t let your failure define you. Instead, view it as a temporary setback, not an endpoint. ● Maintaining focus and vision After a failure, it’s easy to lose sight of your original vision. But maintaining your focus on your long-term goals is critical. Take a step back, reflect on your vision, and rearrange your strategies accordingly. Yes, you might need to adjust your plans or timelines, but don’t let failure ruin your overall vision. 33 ● Continuous learning and skill development The greatest lesson from failure is the opportunity to learn. Develop a growth mindset and invest in continuous learning — attend workshops, read books, or take online courses. 34 Analyze your mistakes, draw lessons, and use those insights to refine your strategies. With each failure, you’re beginning with more experience. ● Accepting failure as a pathway to success 35 It’s merely a detour on the road to success. It offers an incomparable opportunity for growth and innovation. By addressing these challenges with the right mindset, you can transform your setbacks into comebacks and transform failure into your stepping-stone towards success. A．Don’t forget that failure itself is a teacher. B．Learning from failure can be complicated. C．To strike this balance, make data-driven decisions. D．Failure is not the opposite of success — it’s a part of it. E．You can adapt to changes and avoid the same mistakes. F．You kicked off this journey for a reason — hold onto that. G．Feelings of inadequacy, stress, and fear can quickly lead to burnout. 【答案】31．B 32．G 33．F 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讨论了如何从失败中学习和克服挑战，给出了具体的建议和方法。 31．根据前文“Failure is a bitter pill to swallow, isn’t it?

But maintaining your focus on your long-term goals is critical. Take a step back, reflect on your vision, and rearrange your strategies accordingly.

With each failure, you’re beginning with more experience.(分析你的错误，吸取教训，并利用这些见解来完善你的策略。每经历一次失败，你都会有更多的经验)”可知，此处是在讲述从失败中学习，所以A项“Don’t forget that failure itself is a teacher.(不要忘记，失败本身就是一位老师)”符合此处主题，引出下文。故选A项。 35．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“It’s merely a detour on the road to success.

He said, “My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams. 41 . Why do adults connect everything with school grades?” The following are my tips about his problem: I understand your problem, and this must be frustrating to hear. Studies are important in a young person’s life. 42 . However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school. For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. 43 . However, if you feel that your parents are putting you under too much pressure, then be honest and tell them how you feel. This way in the future when you have more exams, they will be less likely to put you in such an awkward situation, in which your results directly determine how they treat you. 44 if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive (产生反效果的) for your exam performance. It may be a long time since your parents were at school so they may find it difficult to understand your situation. I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came. 45 , instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result. As a general rule for exams, try to make sure you have a schedule that allows you time to relax. I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused. Be honest with your parents. At the end of the day, you are still fortunate enough that you have the chance of a trip after the exams are over. A．But if I don’t, they will cancel the trip B．Don’t expect much from them C．I always found it best to focus on the task at hand D．Your parents want to reward you for your hard work E．I feel full of confidence and so open to possibilities F．They may think differently about how they offer motivation G．Try and let this potential reward motivate you if you can 【答案】41．A 42．D 43．G 44．F 45．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者给一个学生一些建议，告诉他如何处理好父母把一切都与学校联系起来这件事情。 41．根据前文“My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams.(我父母答应我，如果我在期末考试中取得好成绩，就带我去加州迪斯尼乐园)”以及下文“Why do adults connect everything with school grades(为什么成年人把一切都与学校成绩联系起来呢？)”可知，一个叫布鲁斯的学生觉得父母总是把一切与学校的成绩联系起来，所以他的父母答应他，如果他在期末考试中取得好成绩，就带他去加州迪斯尼乐园，如果考的的不好，就不会带他去。A项“但如果我考不好，他们会取消这次旅行”符合语境。故选A。 42．根据前文“Studies are important in a young person’s life. (学习在年轻人的生活中很重要)”可知，作者认为学习在年轻人的生活中是很重要的，所以父母会很重视你的的学习，会因为你努力学习而想要奖励你。D项“你父母想奖励你的努力学习”符合语境。故选D。 43．根据第二段最后一句话“However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school.(然而，太多的压力可能会对你的情绪甚至你在学校的表现产生负面影响)”以及空前“For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. (目前，最好有一个积极的态度)”可知，作者认为父母会很重视自己孩子的学习，但是有时候也会给孩子太多的压力，从而影响孩子的情绪。所以首先你需要有一个积极的态度。G项中的reward呼应第二段中的reward，作者建议年轻人应该以积极的态度面对这个奖励。G项“如果可以的话，试着让这种潜在的奖励激励你”符合语境。故填G。 44．根据空后“ if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive for your exam performance.(如果你向他们解释你的烦恼，以及额外的压力如何对你的考试成绩产生反作用)”可知，父母在你告诉他们自己感觉很有压力的情况下会有自己不同的想法。F项“他们可能会对如何提供动力有不同的想法”符合语境，而F项中的they指的是parents。故选F。 45．根据前文“I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came.(我记得那些日子，我为了考试而没完没了地学习，在重要的日子到来之前忧心忡忡)”以及空后“ I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused.(我发现这对我保持专注非常有用)”可知，作者在用自己上学时候的经验给年轻人建议，C项中的人称I和前后人称一致。根据空后“instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result(而不是担心任何结果的未来后果)”可知，担心考试的结果是没用的，不如专注于手头的任务，G项“我总是觉得专注于手头的任务是最好的”符合语境。故选C。 $$
