Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon -especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. Shewas half-kidding,but Medha didn't take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.

She temporarily has her app-development ambitionson holdbecause she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.

Recently，as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team，I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him．His team was facing adversity（逆境）on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters，and Nathan's team was trailing（落后）for three quarters of the game．As for me，I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day．During my drive home，I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities．This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son．

New Yorkis among the slowest cities during rush hour in the world, according to a report published in January.
Crossing midtown by car is soul-destroying. The average speed is 4.7 miles per hour, not much quicker than a quick walk. But relief is in sight. On April 1st, state lawmakers agreed to introduce road charges, makingNew Yorkthe first big American city to do so. By next year vehicles will have to pay to enterManhattansouth of60th Street.
The details of the new rule, including how much drivers will have to pay, how they will pay and how often they will pay, haveyet to be decided. A “traffic mobility review board" will be set up to work all this out. New Yorkers living in the fee zone who make less than $60,000 a year will be exempt (获豁免) . Other drivers, including motorcyclists, the city' s civil servants, disabled drivers and the trucking industry, all want discounts or exemptions, which might not be a good sign.
If done right, road pricing could be expanded beyondManhattan.New Yorkcan learn from other cities.Singapore, for instance, which has had pricing for decades, adjusts prices regularly. It can also learn from mistakes.London, which rolled out its pricing in 2003, is only starting to charge on-demand car hires like Uber. Stockholm exempted too many vehicles, which caused a drop in revenues (收入) .
Other cities considering road charges, includingLos Angeles, Philadelphia Portland,San FranciscoandSeattle, are watchingNew York. "We really have t1o make a good example," says Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute, aNew Yorkthink tank.
12. What does the report find?
A.New Yorkhas terrible road traffic.
B.New Yorkoften introduces new laws.
C. New Yorkers prefer walking to driving.
D. New Yorkers face an increased cost of living.
13. What can be inferred about the new rule from paragraph 2?
A. It faces some potential problems.
B. It has clear and detailed fee standards.
C. It favors New Yorkers living in the fee zone.
D. It fails to win a traffic mobility review board s approval.
14. What doLondonandStockholmhave in common?
A. They learn a lot fromSingapore.
B. They have greatly increased revenues.
C. They charge on-demand car hires heavily.
D. They are bad examples of placing road charges.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How much does it cost to drive intoManhattan?
B.New Yorkapproves road pricing forManhattan
C. Drivers fear crossingManhattansouth of60th Street
D. Who will be exempt from road charges inManhattan?

How to Beat the Procrastination Habit
I am a procrastinator (拖延症患者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniquesI've been using:
Set aside blocks of time to do things.
When I was talking with my wellness (健身) coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. "___16___," I said. "Something always comes up." She wasn't impressed. "J.D.," she said, "You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride." The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.
___17___. Often I'll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done－mending the fence, for example. "___18___," I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I thinkof it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment, which I usually do.)
Use a timer to bring you back to reality.
Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer.___19___. One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off,___20___：Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?
Do not multitask.
I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.
A.I'm always lost in thought
B.it brings me back to reality
C.If it comes to mind,then do it
D.I don't have the time
E.it serves as an instant reality check
F.Do it right away if you are asked to do something
G.I need to write that down so I can remember it
