17、 garden. When she saw the lovely roses planted, she smiled. Still, it was too bad that Rachel wasnt there. The next day, Amy watered her roses and walked to Miss Browns backyard, where she sat reading. “What else did Rachel do?” asked Amy. “She wrote poems in her flower garden,” Miss Brown answered.

18、 “One of her poems even won a prize in a school competition.” Amy closed her eyes. “How good it would feel, but I dont know how to write poems,” she said.

24、.(B)The top-selling album (唱片), Songs of the Humpback Whale, was made public in 1970. This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales, and it helped save thousands of whales lives. The album might never have been made without a sound engineer named Frank Watling

25、ton. In the 1960s, Watlington was making underwater recordings when he noticed some strange, deep sounds. He realized they were coming from whales. Watlington played the recordings for a pair of scientists named Roger and Katy Payne. When they listened, they fell in love with these beautiful voices

26、at once. Katy Payne studied music as well as animals, and she was greatly surprised by how the whales communicated using sounds like an opera (歌剧) singer. She also noticed another interesting fact: the sounds had clear patterns. According to scientists, an animal sound with a repeating pattern is ca

27、lled a song. Some scientists even compared these singing animals to musicians. The Paynes thought that other people should also hear the beauty of the whales songs. So Roger made the recordings into an album. At the time when the album came out, whales were often caught, killed and traded for money.

28、 Some kinds were even in danger of dying out. Most people had never thought that whales could communicate through songs. But after hearing the album, they began to think differently. The album led people to take action to save whales. Musicians began using whale songs in their music, and whales were

39、comfortable. More often than not, David leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet or watches TV instead, waiting until the last minute. “But the longer I wait,” says David, aged 15, “the more I worry.” Everyone procrastinates (拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to

40、avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. “Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning,” says Professor Peter Stone. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going

41、 to bed.” One big cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others expectations,” Stone adds. Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a

42、certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better.” No matter what the cause is, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleep

43、lessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems. For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If youve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you mov

44、ing. Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 pm, you might set a timed dimmer switch (渐暗开关) at 10 pm. When the lights are dimmer, youll start going to bed. It works for most people. Finally, reward yourself every time you make progress. For example
