Procrastination(犹豫不决) is a dia of the mind. A scientific study in recent years has shown that it is a clo relative（：相对的亲属亲戚⽐较的）of sadness（悲哀）and attention disorder; that procrastinators tend to（趋向于）be the result of low lf-confidence（消沉的⾃信⼼）and are likely to experience anxiety（焦虑） The rearch has shown， what is more，that the illness has become quite common. Susan Robert， a behavioral psychologist who has written a book called Living With Procrastination， says that about a quarter of the adult population of the United States and Canada is reported to have rious problems with procrastination. “when we say ‘rious’ we mean people for whom procrastination caus great discomfort and suffering. We’ve found that such people are more troubled by daily life than others，that possibility of anxiety is much higher among them than in the rest of the population.”
In a society driven by achievement， it is little wonder that not being able to work at full steam will bring people sadness. Surely，in the land of opportunity， this anxiety has produced an industry of experts
offering solutions. Many books and specialist solutions have appeared. In exchange for ＄19.95， Dr. Jerome Murray will nd out an audio-castte（盒式录⾳磁带） called “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination.”Dr. Murray promis that if you follow his step-by-step rules you will be empowered to “turn lf-defeat into lf-realization”. “Since the start of the 1990s， procrastination has been taken more and more riously，” said Dr. Roberts， who has been treating patients troubled by the condition for more than 20 years. “It is now recognized as a true mental health problem and is being en more as a psychological problem and less as a moral issue.”
犹豫不决是⼀种精神疾病。近些年来的⼀项科学研究已经证实了它和悲伤、注意⽆序密切相关。犹豫不决趋向于是不⾃信的结果，⽽且有可能处于焦虑状态。
研究结果显⽰，⽽且，这种疾病已经变得⾮常普遍。Susan Robert，是⼀位⾏为⼼理学家，曾经写了⼀本书名叫“Living with Procrastination”。书上写到美国，加拿⼤⼤图额四分之⼀的成年⼈报告已经患了严重的犹豫不决的问题。“当我们说‘严重’的时候，我们意思是⼈们对于那些犹豫不决的⼈产⽣了不舒服和痛苦的感觉。我们已经发现这样的⼈在⽇常⽣活中⽐其他⼈更容易有⿇烦。那种焦虑的可能性也⽐其他亲⼈要⾼很多。”
在当今这个成就驱动的社会，⼏乎不⽤想，不能在很⼤的压⼒下⼯作将使⼈们伤⼼。当然，在机遇上，
这种焦虑已经产⽣了⼀种⾏业，就是专家专门提供解决⽅案。许多书和专家的解决⽅案已经出现了。以19.95美元作为交换，Jerome博⼠将发出⼀个⾃动装置，叫做“保护你的将来谨防拖延时间之贼”。Murry博⼠承诺如果你⼀步⼀步的跟随他的规则，你将充满能量能够“把⾃我攻击转变成⾃
我认识”。“⾃从20世纪90年代犹豫不决已经越来越严重了”，Robert博⼠⼀直在治疗这些情况的病⼈，已经有20多年了。他说：“现在⼈们认为它是⼀种真正的精神健康问题，⽽且越来越把它看作是⼀种⼼理问题，⽽不是道德问题。”

Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America for good reasons. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk， can be easily cared for， and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner， a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition， a parrot can be trained to say “Pretty boy”or “Polly wants a cracker，”and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird， training a parrot takes much patience， but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot’s popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example， even a spoiled parrot does not need a hou-sitter for the purpo of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact， a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food， including eds， nuts， corn， and grain—along with an apple， banana， or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Bec
au the parrot can live in almost any environment， it makes a fine，tame companion for many people. In addition， becau it can be easily trained， it is a delightful performer. At the same time， its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot’s native home， the jungle. Thus， the parrot，once a highly valued gift prented to kings and noble families， is now appreciated by a growing number of people.

In my long life I have en many changes in our habits and customs and conditions in general. I think that you might be interested if I told you some of them.
The world I entered at the age of eighteen when I became a medical student was a world that knew nothing of such advanced things as planes，films， radios or telephones. It was a very cheap world. Prices were stable. When I entered St. Thomas’ hospital I rent a t of rooms in Vincent Square for which I paid 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when I came back at half past six. I only had to pay for the breakfasts and dinners twelve shillings a week. For four-pence I lunched at St. Thomas’ on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I could be able to live very well, pay my fees，
buy my necessary instruments， clothe mylf， and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn (当掉) my microscope for three pounds.
I spent five years at St. Thomas’ hospital. I was a bad student，for my heart， as you might have guesd， was not in it. I wanted， I had always wanted to be a writer， and in the evenings， after my dinner，I wrote and read. Before long， I wrote a novel called “Liza of Lambeth”，which I nt to a publisher and was accepted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and it was successful. It was of cour an accident，but I didn’t know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so， three days after I graduated from the school of medicine， I left for Spain to write another book. I did not realize， at that time， that I was taking a great risk.

心理剧疗法了我很多的乐趣。⽽我能以3磅的价格当掉我的显微镜。我在托马斯的医院呆了5年。我是⼀个坏学⽣，对于我的内⼼，正如你可能已经猜到的，并不在学习上这⽅⾯，我想要的是,⼀直想要成为⼀个作家，在午夜或者晚餐过后，我写作然后品读。不久，我写了⼀部名为“莉莎的朗伯斯”的⼩说，我发给⼀个出版商，结果他接受了它。这部⼩说它在我离开医院的最后⼀年之中很成功的发⾏了。当然这是个意外，但是我不知道为什么，我觉得我可以负担得起放弃医学以写作作为我的职业。因此，在我从医学院毕业后的三天，我前往西班⽛去写另外⼀本书。在那时，我并没有发觉，我正承担着⼀个很⼤的风险。

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-up， and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains， and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in uless regrets.
我们是如此频繁地听到，孩⼦们希望长⼤⽽⽼⼈们希望再年轻⼀回。每⼀个年龄段都有它的快乐与痛苦，最幸福的⼈不是浪费时间去做⽆谓悔恨的⼈，⽽是懂得享受岁⽉所给予他⼀切的⼈。
Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents， he is fed， looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition， life is always prenting new things to the children—things that have lost their interest for older people becau they are too well-known. But a child has his pains： he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things， or being punished for what he has done wrong.
⼉童时代是没有责任负担最轻松的时期。如果⼀个孩⼦有⼀对好⽗母，那么⽆论他做什么都会被抚养被照顾被疼爱。他⽆需回报他得到的⼀切，这也是在他以后的岁⽉⾥所不可能再有的。另外，⽣活的道路让他们感受到很多新鲜的东西，那些新鲜的东西让他们对⾃⼰过于熟悉的渐渐⽼去的亲⼈失去了兴趣。但作为⼀个孩⼦也有他⾃⼰的烦恼——不能⾃由地去做⾃⼰想做的事，他会被⼀遍⼀遍告知不要去做某些事情，或者会因为做错事⽽被惩罚！
When the young man starts to earn his own living，he can no longer expect others to pay for his food，his clothes，and his room，but has to work if he wants to live comfortably（舒服）. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he ud to as a child，he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he ud to break the laws of his parents，he may go to prison. If，however，he works hard，keeps out of trouble and has good health，he can have the great happiness of building up for himlf his own position in society.
当年轻⼈开始过⾃⼰的⽣活，他再也不能指望别⼈⽀付他所需⽤的⾷物、⾐服、他的房间, 如果他想过的很舒服就要去⼯作。如果他像⼩时候⼀样花太多的时间去玩，他就要挨饿。如果像过去违背⽗母规定那样违反社会法律，，他可能会去坐牢。但是，如果他努⼒⼯作，不断⾛出困境，具有良好的健康，在社会中他可以有⾃⼰建⽴⾃⼰的地位和莫⼤的幸福。
56. People can experience happiness if they __B_____.
文昌院（如果……⼈们可以感到幸福）
