happened to pass by,could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music.After a long talk,they became good friends.Since Boya had to return to his state,they agreed to meet again in the next year.Unluckily when getting back to visit Ziqi,Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease.Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqis tomb（墓）,he played again the music he had played when they first met.People were deeply moved when they heard the music because they thought they heard the rivers and mountains crying.When finishing playing,Boya broke his guqin into pieces.From then on,Boya never played again.People in the Song Dynasty（朝代）built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang,Hubei Province in memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi,which became an important part of the local culture.The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui,also known as High Mountain and Flowing Water,was performed during the G20 Summit（峰会）in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province in 2016,which was developed from this story.The musical performance won praise from guests,because it not only showed the beauty of traditional Chinese culture,but also expressed Chinas wishes to develop

instead,waiting until the last minute.“The longer I wait,the more I worry.”says David,aged 15.Everyone procrastinates（拖延）because they want to feel good now.The way to do that is to 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 that young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed.“The most important cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure,of not meeting others expectations（期待）,”Stone adds.Some people usually feel confident about procrastination.They think they could do things better.But researchers disagree.“I did a study several years ago,asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time,”says Stone.“They did worse than non-procrastinators(people who dont procrastinate):they made more mistakes and they took longer.But they thought they did better.”No matter what the cause is procrastination is not going to be good for you.For example,bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness,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 exercise,just put on your walking shoes.A little bit of progress will get you moving.Next,find something to help you remember to take action.If you want to go to bed at 10:30 p.m.,you might set a timed dimmer switch（渐暗开关）at 10 p.m.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,after youve run 3 km,enjoy your favorite ice-cream.But be careful:it wont work the other way around.11.How does the writer lead into the topic of procrastination in Paragraph 1?ABy raising a question.BBy listing numbers.CBy giving an example.12.What is the most important reason for peoples procrastination?AProcrastinators can do jobs better.BThey hope to finish the top tasks first.CProcrastinators fear to lose and let others down.13.From Stones study we can know that _.Aprocrastination does no good to people Bdoing cleaning is a good way to procrastinate Cprocrastinators work better than non-procrastinators 14.The underlined word“reward”in paragraph 4 probably means _.A奖励 B打击 C提升 15.What can be the best title for this passage?AA day of a procrastinator.BSay goodbye to procrastination.CWant to feel good now?Procrastinate!二、阅读还原 5 选 5
