Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
4. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people
A. The doctors eventually cured her. B. Her disease didn’t become worse.
C. She had a decent job before being ill. D. She had security about medical care.
5. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others
A. By paying for their daily debts. B. By giving away money to them.
C. By ridding them of debts from treatments. D. By purchasing medical insurance for them.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The public involvement. B. The couple’s commitment.
C. The operation of a website. D. The increase of medical debts.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre
A. Humorous and elegant. B. Influential and understanding.
C Cautious and promising. D. Enthusiastic and adaptable.
C
If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well- being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well- being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
“The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting (短暂的) of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
8. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A. It’s one- sided. B. It’s pointless.
C. It’s convincing. D. It’s pioneering.
9. Why were some participants more energized in the experiment
A. They were free from secrets. B. They were optimistic and cheerful.
C. They had shared good news with others. D. They had unrevealed positive secrets
10 What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4mean
A. Panic. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Encourage.
11. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A. Never reveal a secret casually. B. Let your imagination run wild.
C. Be creative when surprising others. D. Delay sharing a positive secret.
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
13. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分 12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___
___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.
It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.
It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___
Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.
A. The only time you can make changes is right now.
B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.
C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.
D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.
E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.
F Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.
G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.

In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
“The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting (短暂的) of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
8. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A. It’s one- sided. B. It’s pointless.
C. It’s convincing. D. It’s pioneering.
9. Why were some participants more energized in the experiment
A. They were free from secrets. B. They were optimistic and cheerful.
C. They had shared good news with others. D. They had unrevealed positive secrets
10. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4mean
A. Panic. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Encourage.
11. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A. Never reveal a secret casually. B. Let your imagination run wild.
C. Be creative when surprising others. D. Delay sharing a positive secret.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
13. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
【答案】12 A 13. D 14. D 15. C

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___
___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.
It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.
It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___
Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.
A. The only time you can make changes is right now.
B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.
C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.
D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.
E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.
F. Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.
G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. F

Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.

If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well- being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well- being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
“The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting (短暂的) of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
8. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A. It’s one- sided. B. It’s pointless.
C. It’s convincing. D. It’s pioneering.
9. Why were some participants more energized in the experiment
A. They were free from secrets. B. They were optimistic and cheerful.
C. They had shared good news with others. D. They had unrevealed positive secrets
10 What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4mean
A. Panic. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Encourage.
11. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A. Never reveal a secret casually. B. Let your imagination run wild.
C. Be creative when surprising others. D. Delay sharing a positive secret.

They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
13. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination

Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___
___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.
It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.
It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___
Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.
A. The only time you can make changes is right now.
B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.
C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.
D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.
E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.
F Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.
G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.

Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
4. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people
A. The doctors eventually cured her. B. Her disease didn’t become worse.
C. She had a decent job before being ill. D. She had security about medical care.
5. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others
A. By paying for their daily debts. B. By giving away money to them.
C. By ridding them of debts from treatments. D. By purchasing medical insurance for them.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The public involvement. B. The couple’s commitment.
C. The operation of a website. D. The increase of medical debts.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre
A. Humorous and elegant. B. Influential and understanding.
C. Cautious and promising. D. Enthusiastic and adaptable.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
C
If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well- being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well- being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
“The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting (短暂的) of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
8. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A. It’s one- sided. B. It’s pointless.
C. It’s convincing. D. It’s pioneering.
9. Why were some participants more energized in the experiment
A. They were free from secrets. B. They were optimistic and cheerful.
C. They had shared good news with others. D. They had unrevealed positive secrets
10. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4mean
A. Panic. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Encourage.
11. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A. Never reveal a secret casually. B. Let your imagination run wild.
C. Be creative when surprising others. D. Delay sharing a positive secret.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
13. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
