模拟练习（二）写作指导
一、概写原文
下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Surfing the Net when you should be finishing a work report, changing
clothes when you have a train to catch, or perhaps even lying in bed when
you've promised yourself you'll work out. Sound familiar? You aren't
alone. We all procrastinate (拖延) sometimes, especially when it comes
to things we aren't really fond of.
A study showed that we spend about 218 minutes procrastinating every
day, which amounts to 55 days of lost time each year. We might not think
these figures particularly worthy of worry, but when we look at the
overall impact of procrastination on our lives, it's a different
story. Not only does this cost financial loss, it also affects peace
of mind. In general, people who continually put things off are unhappier,
as well as being less wealthy and healthy.
So why do we do it? "When we avoid taking action, We're really avoiding
pain," explains psychiatrist (精神病学家) Phil Stutz. For most of us,
pain avoidance isn't limited to one situation. It applies to almost
anything that's painful. Most of us try our best never to leave a comfort
zone. That's why we sacrifice something much more valuable: time. "Our
time on earth is limited," Stutz adds. "Every moment is an opportunity
we'll never have again. Procrastinators act as if they have all the time
in the world. But deep down, they know they're wasting parts of their
life. The trouble is, most of them don't know how to free themselves."
One way he says we rid procrastination is by overcoming the pain of
avoidance using daily visualization (想象). "Picture the pain you're
avoiding as a black cloud in front of you," Stutz says. "Notice how you're
tired of the ways this pain has held you back in life, and tell yourself that you're determined to conquer it. Then it's time to get through the
cloud and to the other side--where you're free." Experts insist:
Procrastinators can change their behavior, it takes a lot of self-work
but in the end, It's worth the effort. And start today, not tomorrow.
