or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. they can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. but this does nothing to break the spell(魔咒).according to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the worlds population are always procrastinating. the figures are disappointing. procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who dont delay. procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but bbc columnist rowan pelling says they are all wrong.many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的）in a society that thinks of swift action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. piers steel, a canadian social scientist and author of the procrastination equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.41.from the

appearance of the women taking part. their hair-styles and make-up look dated; their skirts look either too long or too short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous. the men taking part in the film, on the other hand, are clearly recognizable. there is nothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an entirely different age.this illusion is created by changing fashions. over the year, the great majority of men have successfully resisted all attempts to make them change their style of dress. the same cannot be said for women. each year a few so- called top designers in paris or london lay down the law and women the whole world over rush to obey. the decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial. this year, they decide in their arbitrary fashion, skirts will be short and waists will be high; zips are in and buttons are out. next year the law is reversed and far from taking exception, no one is even mildly surprised.if women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. because they shudder at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are annually black-mailed by the designers and the big stores. clothes, which have been worn, only a few times have to be discarded because of the dictates of fashion. when you come to think of it, only a women is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.changing fashions are nothing more than the deliberate creation of waste. many women squander vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. women, who cannot afford to discard clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. hem-limes are taken up or let down; waist-lines are taken in or let out; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.no one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. they are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, providing they look right. there can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shivering in a flimsy dress on a wintry day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in dainty shoes.when comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of fickleness and instability? men are too sensible to let themselves be bullied by fashion designers. do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? that is for you to decide.1. the main idea of this passage is a. new fashions in clothes reflect the qualities of women. new fashions in clothing are created solely for commercial exploitation of women.c. the top designers seem to have the right to creating new fashion.d. men have the basic quality of reliability.2. why do the general appearance of actresses look ludicrous?a. because they want their appearance in the fashion. because the top designers want them to follow the fashion.c. because the top designers want them to make fashion.d. because the top designers want them to lead the fashion.3. why are women mercilessly exploited by the fashion designers?a. they love new fashion. . they love new clothes.c. they want to look beautiful. d. they are too vain.4. what are fashion designers interested in?a. outward appearance. . comfort.c. beauty. d. durability.vocabulary1. dated 过时的2. decree 法令，命令3. dictatorial 专制的，惟我独尊的4. arbitrary 任意的，专横的5. take exception (at) 生气，发怒6. take exception to (against) 对提出异议7. dictates (pl) 意旨，命令，指令8. squander 浪费9. hem 褶边，折缝，镶边10. flimsy 薄的，没有价值的11. dainty 雅致的，讲究的12. fickle
