24、 Bruno and his family did a major house cleanup and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store. “After all were done, I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff”， says Bruno, “It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I
25、behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100 Thing Challenge”.With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism，Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items. He cut down his possessi
26、ons to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes. He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate-family-shared and household items did not count as personal items. He also grouped together some basic things such as unde
27、rwear and socks. Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book, The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul.Since completing the experiment, Bruno has continued to live by the motto: reduce, refuse, and rearrange and ma

29、time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.”Brunos project has also inspired others to live minimally, many of whom post their own 100 Thing Challenge updates on YouTube. “The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisingly easy”，says Bruno, “Im not saying th

34、he city. This heavy traffic causes delays and lots of pollution from cars that are using their engines but not moving anywhere. Many cars going nowhere is called a “traffic jam.”While many cities in the United States have traffic problems, some of the worst are in Los Angeles, California. Los Angele
35、s is a big city with a large downtown area. One of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get aroundExperts say one possible solution to the traffic problem in Los Angeles would be to makepeople want to use the public transportation system of buses i
36、nstead of their own cars. People say the buses should be made easier, faster, less costly and more dependable than driving a car.One suggestion is to reduce the cost of riding the bus. People who usually drive their cars could save a lot of money on gas and parking costs. Also, Los Angeles could mak
37、e the buses easier for people to use. The buses could travel to more places in the city. And there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive in. These changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car.Other experts have said that the best way to eas
38、e traffic problems is to charge people money to drive on the freeways. These charges, or tolls, would be for the most crowded roads. The tolls would be in effect during the times of day when most people drive to work and home again. These times in the morning and late afternoon are called “rush hour
39、”. People would try to avoid driving on these roads, which would decrease the amount of traffic. Also ，the money collected from these tolls could be used to improve the roads and public transportation system.36.The passage mainly discusses _.A.different means of transportation of the United StatesB.

44、 college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating sn
45、acks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this d
46、oes nothing to break the spell(魔咒).According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the worlds population are always procrastinating.

Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mista
48、kes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的）in a society that thinks of swift action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral
49、good.Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he s
