There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads(广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back…” “Easy and funny…” “Our records and tapes help you master English in a month”. Of course, it never happened quite like that.
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.
So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts and takes much time. Good teachers, record, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.

文章大意：本文主要介绍了拖延症症状及针对不同的拖延症患者提出的不同的解决方案。

【推荐1】阅读下面短文，将所缺信息还原，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

Procrastination (拖延症) is a way of thinking that lets one put off doing something that should be done now. It’s like a voice inside your head that keeps coming up with ideas for things to do right now other than studying: “I can study anytime, but tonight is the only chance I have to do...” or “ 1 ”

There are different possible solutions for procrastination. Different solutions work for different people.

Procrastination is usually a habit. 2 Every time you overcome the feeling of procrastination, the habit becomes weaker.

Make plans for study by using a daily or weekly planner. 3 Being aware of the time and what you need to do today can help you get organized.

4 Form a study group with those who are motivated (有积极性的) and won’t procrastinate along with you. You’ll learn good habits from them while getting the work done now.

Get help. If you really can’t work to your plan, or if you’re always putting things off until the last minute, go to experts. 5 They can help you find ways to overcome this habit.

A．Study in a group.

B．Accept that and work on breaking it.

C．Carry it with you and look at it often.

D．They have lots of experience with this problem.

E．I should really get this room cleaned up before I study.

F．Procrastination is something that will most likely never go away.

【推荐3】At some point we are required to wear a tie, but how do you tie a tie? To answer that question, I’ve drawn up a step—by—step instruction to an easy tie knot(结) to help you.

Four—in—Hand knot is the easiest to learn. It’s a small knot that is most suitable for casual(非正式的) situations, since it doesn’t look like you need to spend too much time in front of the mirror seriously tying it. You can just quickly put on a tie and go out the door. Also, if you’re ever in a hurry, this is the knot to know.

● 1. Begin by crossing the wide end over the narrow end.
● 2. Fold the wide end under the narrow end.
● 3. Pass the wide end over the narrow end again.
● 4. Take the wide end up and through the circle around your neck.
● 5. Take the wide end through the knot in front. Tighten(变紧) the knot and pull it up to your collar.

It’s important for men to learn this basic knot themselves. Just use this easy step—by—step instruction on tying a tie and practice it. It’s really not that hard. You just need to practice it a lot.

1. The Four—in—Hand knot is the most suitable when you have a ______.

A．job interview

B．business meeting

C．family picnic

D．graduation ceremony

2. Picture ______ is the right one for the 4th step.

A．
