Senegal is a conservative,Muslim nation.There is much pressure from society for women not to be involved inprofessional sports.The country practices a more liberal form of Islam（伊斯兰教）.However,the

love of the sport,they changed their minds.In 2018,when Dieye returned from Morocco,she was not happy about the state of golfin her home country.She wanted to create a golf school similar to the one in Morocco.In2020,the Senegalese Golf Federation agreed to help Dieye establish a golf school inpreparation for the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics in Dakar.It will be Dieyes job to trainSenegaPs first

by a young girl in Poland.They exchanged letters in what isknown as a pen pal program when people write letters to each other without actuallymeeting.The letter,together with 17 others,was discovered this past summer when a wall wastaken down in a former post office in Vilnius.The letters,from the late 1960s and early 1970s,were likely hidden by a postal workerafter he searched them for money or valuables,Vilutis said.The senders were familymembers or pen pals from places such as Australia,Poland,or Russia.Street names and theirnumbering have changed in Vilnius,capital of Lithuania.Post office workers spent monthslooking for the people who were supposed to receive the letters-the recipients.Only fiverecipients were found.In several cases,children of dead recipients were handed a lost letter.Deimante Zebrauskaite,head of Lithuania Post,said we felt a moral duty to do this.Zebrauskaitc added,t4One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottlethrown into

deadlines are.Newresearch has found that if you want someone to help you out with something,it is best not toset 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 fortheir research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charitydonation.They were given either one week,one month,or no deadline to respond.ProfessorKnowles says although the topic of the survey was about charity,the results are true of anysituation where someone asks another person for help.The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline andhighest when no deadline was specified（明确规定）.No deadline and the one-week deadlineled to many early responses,while a long deadline appeared to give people permission toprocrastinate,and then forget.Professor Knowles wasnt surprised to find that specifying ashorter 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 deadlinewas specified.“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline,as opposed to a shortdeadline or no deadline at all,removes the urgency to act,“he says.People therefore put offundertaking the task,and since they are inattentive or forget,postponing it results in lowerresponse rates.”He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still haveled participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline.Professor Knowles hopes hisresearch 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.”7.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.8.What most likely leads to procrastination?A.No deadlines.B.Short deadlines.C.Specific deadlines.D.Long deadlines.9.Why do people procrastinate when given a long deadline?A.They oppose the deadline.B.They are unwilling to act.C.They lack a sense of urgency.D.They are too busy to remember.10.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Procrastination-the Thief of TimeB.Procrastination an Urgent Problem to SolveC Deadline-a Result of ProcrastinationD.Deadline the Key to Reducing Procrastination二、七选五Reading is essential but
