Corley found that they avoid one costly habit: procrastination (拖延症).‎ ‎“It prevents even the most talented individuals from realizing success in life,” he writes in his upcoming book, “Change Your Habits, Change Your Life.”【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ This goes hand-in-hand with author Napoleon Hill’s claim that the wealthiest people are also the most decisive people.‎ Out of the 500 millionaires Hill studied in the early 20th century, “Every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions quickly,” Hill wrote in his 1937 classic, “Think and Grow Rich.”‎ One of the major causes of procrastination is lack of passion, Corley emphasizes: “We simply like to do the things we like to do and we put off the things we do not like to do.”‎ ‎“According to Gallup, only 13% of employees are ‘engaged’ in their jobs, or emotionally invested in their work,” Corley writes.‎ ‎“Whether you realize it or not, procrastination is a big reason why you are struggling financially in life. It damages your credibility with employers and fellow colleagues at work. It also affects the quality of your work and this affects the business you or your employer receive from customers, clients, and business 【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】relationships.”‎ The good news is that anyone can overcome procrastination – and it’s simpler than you may think. He also notes that “the voice of procrastination screams just as loud and clear in the minds of those who excel in life as it does in the minds of those who do not.”‎ How do they silence it? They rely on “to-do” lists to get things done. They create firm deadlines, and they meet with “accountability partners” to ensure they’re sticking to their goals and deadlines, Corley says.【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ Nearly everyone is susceptible to procrastination – but fighting against it can make all the difference.【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ ‎1.

This theory had been widely accepted by scientists. But one question remains: how do these animals manage to do that?【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ ‎ After more than 150 years, scientists are finally able to answer that question-it is all down to a gene (基因) called “doublesex", according to a study published on March 6 in the journal Nature.‎ ‎ In fact, scientists have long known that genes are responsible for this useful ability. But until the new study, scientists hadn't been able to find out which genes in particular were responsible.‎ ‎ Scientists at the University of Chicago compared the genetic structures of the Common Mormons that changed their wing patterns with those of ones that did not. And all the results pointed to a single gene, “doublesex”.‎ ‎ This was much to the scientists' surprise. They used to expect that something as complex as this would be controlled by many different genes. For example, one gene would control the color of the upper part of the wing, one would do so for the lower part.‎ ‎ However, the “doublesex” gene doesn't quite do everything by itself. Instead, it acts like a switch-it “tells” other genes to change the wing patterns. Isn't that clever?‎ ‎ Scientists believe that this special ability of the “doublesex” gene on Common Mormon was developed throughout the long history of evolution. “The harmless species gains an advantage by resembling something predators (捕食者) avoid,” Sean Carroll, a scientist told Nature. “it was obvious evidence for natural selection. ”【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ ‎1.How do scientists find the truth of butterfly changing wing patterns?‎ ‎ A.

By analyzing the result.‎ ‎2.Which of the following ideas is accepted by scientists?‎ ‎ A. The‘ doublesex’ gene does do everything by itself.‎ ‎ B. The ‘doublesex’ gene is poisonous.‎ ‎ C. The ‘doublesex’ gene ‘tells’ other genes to change the wing patterns.‎ ‎ D. The ‘doublesex’ gene could only control the color of the upper part of the wing.‎ ‎3.What is the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. How Common Mormons stay safe ‎ B.
