Abut 30 years ag, an acustic neurma（听神经瘤） was fund inside my bdy. The remval f the neurma caused my temprary balance issues and permanent hearing lss in ne ear. Apart frm this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neurma came back years later. It had t be remved again. Otherwise it wuld threaten the rest f my brain. When I awke frm the secnd peratin, I had strke-like symptms. The whle right side f my bdy almst stpped functining, and still des.

When we ignre small tasks deliberately, they balln frm tiny checklist items int big annyances. It culd be a quick email r sme bring paperwrk-smething that will nly take a few minutes and yet, smehw, fr sme reasns, yu keep n putting it ff.
This is prcrastinatin（拖延症）. Peple wh prcrastinate tend t delay tasks n purpse until the last minute, r past due date, althugh they're fully aware f the negative results. Typically, prcrastinatin is caused by the lack f the ability t rganize and plan hw t divide time between different activities, but emtins can als be a factr, says Fuschia Siris, a prfessr at the University f Sheffield.
It's easy t understand why we prcrastinate n big tasks. They can be physically r mentally demanding and require lts f time and energy. Hwever, small tasks can lead t a particularly annying frm f prcrastinatin. This culd be smething as simple as making a phne call t a stranger. Yu are s unwilling and afraid that yu might mess it up. This makes wrry sit in yur mind, reduces yur ability t slve the prblem and then leads t prcrastinatin. "We dn't prcrastinate n tiny tasks because they slip ur mind; rather, we make a cnscius chice t put ff smething that might aruse dubt, fear r feelings f incmpetence, says Siris.
Anther reasn is that small tasks ften dn't have hard deadlines. S, it's easier t have an avidance reactin because, unlike the big tasks, there's nthing t push us.
S, hw t get small things dne? Siris suggests we shuld mve ur attentin frm emtins t actins. “Smetimes, things are clured by ur emtins, ” he explains. Once yu actually begin a task, yu might find it less stressful than yu thught when yu were prcrastinating. And since a tiny task wn't take lng, rather than scheduling it, just get cracking. Dn't let tiny things becme big mnsters.
28. What can we knw abut peple wh prcrastinate?
A. They manage t finish n time.
B. They underestimate the cnsequences.
C. They might put ff wrk unintentinally.
D. They might have time management prblems.
29. Why des the authr mentin "making a phne call" in paragraph 3?
A. T make a cmparisn with big tasks.
B. T shw small things can be physically demanding.
C. T prvide an example f vercming prcrastinatin.
D. T prve prcrastinatin can result frm negative feelings.
30. What d the underlined wrds "get cracking" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Make a plan. B. Set a deadline.
C. Take immediate actin. D. Adpt a psitive attitude.
31. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Why D We Put ff Small Things?

Last mnth, a part f the Negr River in the Amazn rainfrest reduced t a depth f just 12. 7 metres, its lwest level in 120 years, due t the lack f rainfall. In Lake Tefé, abut 500 kilmetres away, mre than 150 river dlphins were fund dead, nt because f the lw water levels, but prbably because the lake had reached temperatures clse t 40 C.
"The Amazn rainfrest in nrthern Brazil is experiencing a tugh time and it is the sum f three things, says Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil's Natinal Institute. "The first is defrestatin, which is turning rainfrest int a drier, htter place, she says.
"Additinally, El Nini climate pattern has begun and it makes things wrse, "adds Gatti. El Niñ is a phenmenn which ccurs every tw t seven years. During El Niñ, winds that usually blw frm east t west alng the equatr（赤道） are weakened r even turn the ther way rund. This leads t the change f rainfall in Suth America, causing dry air in the nrth, where the rainfrest lies, and damp air in the suth. As a result, cuntries in the suth are currently greeted by heavy rains, while the Amazn is experiencing the lwest rainfall levels frm July t September in 40 years.
The third factr is the unusual warming f the water in the nrthern Atlantic Ocean. The warming f these waters causes the Inter Trpical Cnvergence Zne（热带辐合带）, a regin f intense clud and rain frmatin, t shift nrth. The ITCZ takes the strms with it, away frm Brazil, and causes less rainfall than usual.
Althugh it is hard t predict when the next drught might strike the Amazn, studies shw that climate change is messing with the timing f El Niñ. "The tendency is that we have strnger and mre frequent crises, Gatti says. This culd be a disaster fr the Amazn rainfrest, already hit by defrestatin and a warming, drying climate. "The frest's tipping pint is cming clser-and it's cming quick.
32. What phenmenn des the authr describe at the beginning f the text?
A. The climate change and fld.
B. The extreme drught and heat.
C. The severe pllutin and extinctin.
D. The wildlife death and defrestatin.
33. Accrding t Gatti, why des El Niñ make things wrse?
A. The east wind brings ht air.
B. The west wind causes heavy rain.
C. The high temperature has decreased damp air.
D. The wind directin has affected the rainfall pattern.
34. What can be inferred abut the Inter Trpical Cnvergence Zne frm paragraph 4?
A. It prduces rainfall in Brazil.
B. It carries cluds t rainfrest.
C. Its mvement wrsens the drught.
D. Its frmatin raises the water temperature.
35. What is Gatti's attitude t the future f the Amazn rainfrest?
A. Cncerned. B. Unclear. C. Psitive. D. Objective.
