Americans find it difficult to think about old age until they are propelled into the midst of it by their own aging and that of relatives and friends .

美国人感到在他们置身于自己的老年或亲朋好友的老年之中以前要考虑老年时的状况是很困难的。

Aging is the neglected stepchild of the human life cycle .

衰老过程是人类生命周期中被忽视的非亲生儿。

Though we have begun to examine the socially taboo(忌諱) subjects of dying and death , we have leaped over that that long period of time preceding death , we have leaped over that long period of time preceding death known as old age .

虽然我们已开始研究有关临终和死亡这个为社会所忌讳的题目，但是我们却跳过了死亡来临之前、称为老年的那一段漫长的时间。

In truth , it is easier to manage the problem of death than the problem of living as an old person .

其实对待死亡的问题比对待老年时生活的问题要更容易

Death is a dramatic one-time crisis while old age is a day-by –day and year –by –year confrontation with (對抗)powerful external and internal forces , a bittersweet coming to

terms with one’s own personality and one’s life .。

死亡是富有戏剧性的一次性危机，而老年则一天天一年年都在与强大的内外力量抗争，是一种苦乐参半的逐渐适应自己的个性和生活的过程

Those of us who are not old barricade(阻止) ourselves from discussions of old age by declaring the subject morbid , boring or in poor taste .

我们之中那些未老的人阻挠我们讨论老龄问题，宣称这一话题是病态的、枯燥的、粗俗的。

Optimism (樂觀)and euphemism(委婉) are other common devices .

其他常见的回避这个问题的方法有在谈论时用乐观的词语和委婉说法。

people will speak of looking forward to their “ retirement years “ . The elderly are described respectfully as “ senior citizens “ , “ golden agers “ , “ our elders “ , and one hears of old people who are considered inspirations and examples of how to “age well “(不顯老) or “gracefully “(老而莊重).

人们会说到期待“退休年龄”的到来，老人被尊称为“年长的公民”，“金龄人”，“我们的长者”，而且人们听说有的老人在怎样能“不显老”或“老而庄重”方面成为鼓舞力量和榜样。

There is the popularly accepted opinion that Social Security and pensions provide a comfortable and reliable flow of funds so the elderly have few financial worries .

还有一个人们普遍接受的看法，说社会福利和养老金源源不断地提供宽裕的可靠的收入，因此老人很少有经济上的担忧

Medicare has lulled(麻貔) the population into reassuring itself that the once terrible financial burdens of late-life illnesses are now eradicated .

对老人的国家医疗照顾制度诱使所有的人们放心地认为，晚年疾病造成的那一度可怕的经济负担已被连根消灭了。

Advertisements and travel folders show relaxed , happy , well-dressed older people enjoying recreation (消譴), travel and their grandchildren .

广告和折页旅行指南展示了轻松快乐、衣着考究的老人享受着娱乐、旅游和儿孙之乐

If they are no longer living in the old family home , they are pictured as delighted residents of retirement communities with names like Leisure World and Sun City , with lots of grass , clean air and fun .

。。假如他们不再住在原来的家里，他们就被描绘成退休老人社区的快活的居民，这些社区

有着像悠闲世界、太阳城一类的名字，绿草如茵、空气清新、其乐无穷。

This is the American ideal of the “golden years “toward which millions of citizens are expectantly toiling through their workdays .

这就是千百万公民辛劳地度过他们的工作日时心中期待着要实现的那个美国“金色岁月”的理想。

But this is not the full story . A second theme runs through the popular view of old age .

但这并不是全部情况。在人们对老年的流行看法中还贯穿着另一个调子，

Our colloquialisms （口語）reveal(說明) a great deal : once you are old you are “fading fast “很快枯荽, “over the hill “走下坡路, “out to pasture “靠邊站, “down the drain “徒勞無功, “finished “完蛋了, “out of date “過時了, an “old crock “老廢物, “fogy “老古板, “geezer “怪老頭兒, or “biddy “長舌婆.

我们的口语用词很说明问题：你一旦老了，便“很快枯萎”，“走下坡路”，“靠边站”，”徒劳无功”，“完蛋了”，“过时了”，是个“老废物”，“老古板”，“怪老头儿”或“长舌婆”。

One hears children saying they are afraid to get old , middle-aged people declaring they want to die after they have passed their prime , and numbers of old people wishing they were dead .

人们听到孩子们说他们害怕变老，中年人声称他们愿意在壮年过后就死去，而许多老人但愿自己早已死去。

What can we possibly conclude from these discrepant差異性points of view ?

从这些互相矛盾的看法中我们能够得出什么样的结论呢？

Our popular attitudes could be summed up as a combination of wishful thinking and stark terror .

可以把流行在我们之中的态度归纳为痴心妄想和赤裸裸的恐惧的结合。

We base our feelings on primitive fears , prejudice(偏見) and stereotypes(墨守成規) rather than on knowledge and insight .

我们将感情建筑在原始的恐惧、偏见和墨守成规上而不是建筑在知识和远见之上。

In reality , the way one experiences old age is contingent upon (與什麼有關)physical health , personality 性格, earlier-life experiences早年經歷, the actual circumstances of late –life events 晚年生活具體情形( in what order they occur , how they occur , when they occur )

and the social supports one receives :

事实上，一个人老年经历如何是因下列因素而异的：身体健康状况、性格、早年经历、晚年事件的具体情形（这些事件发生之先后顺序、情形及具体时间）及他得到的社会支持；

adequate finances , shelter(住處), medical care , social roles , religious support , recreation文化如樂 .是否有足够的金钱，住处，医疗，社会任务，宗教支持，文化娱乐。

All of these are crucial 至關重要的and interconnected elements which together determine the quality of late life .

这一切至关重要而又相互关联的因素共同决定个人晚年生活的质量。

Old age is neither inherently miserable (痛苦的)nor inherently sublime(卓越的)---like every stage of life

老年既不是天生就是痛苦的，也不是天生就是美满的，正如生命中每一阶段一样，

it has problems , joys , fears , and potentials .

它有难题、欢乐、恐惧和潜力。

The process of aging and eventual death must ultimately be accepted as the natural progression of the life cycle , the old completing their prescribed life spans and making way for the young .

年老的过程及最后的死亡必须最终作为生命周期的自然进程被人们所接受，老人结束他们各自的寿数，为年轻人让路。

Much that is unique in old age in fact derives from the reality of aging and the imminence (迫近)of death .

事实上，老年独特之处多是由于衰老这一现实及死亡之逼近。

The old must clarify and find use for what they have attained in a lifetime of learning and adapting ;

老人必须分清并加以利用自己毕生学习和适应的收获，

they must conserve strength and resources where necessary and adjust creatively to those changes and losses that occur a part of the aging experience .

他们必须在必要时，保持精力和物力，并创造性地加以调整，使自己适应于衰老过程中必定会经历的变化与损失。

The elderly have the potential for qualities of human reflection and observation which can only come form having lived an entire life span .

老人有着人类更好地进行回顾与观察的潜在能力，而这是只有在度过整整一生之后才能得到的。

There is a lifetime accumulation of personality and experience which is available to be used and enjoyed .

在一生中所积累形成的品格与经验可以从中受益匪浅。

But what are an individual’s chances for a “ good “ old age in America , with satisfying final years and a dignified death ?

但是在美国，个人能有“美好”的老年，度过令人满意的生命的最后岁月并庄严地死去，这个可能性究竟有多大?

Unfortunately , none too good .

不幸的是，不大。

For many elderly Americans old age is a tragedy悲劇, a period of quiet despair 絕望, deprivation (剝奪), desolation(凄涼孤寂) and muted rage .

对许多美国老年人来说，老年是个悲剧，是沉默绝望，各方面被剥夺、凄凉孤寂、无言的愤怒的时期，

This can be a consequence of the kind of life a person has led in younger years and the problems in his or her relationships with others .

这种情况可能是一个人过去某种生活和他或她人际关系上存在的问题造成的后果，

There are also inevitable personal and physical losses to be sustained , some of which can become overwhelming壓抑and unbearable無法忍受的 .

同时还要承受无法避免的失去亲人或丧失身体机能的痛苦，有些可能会使人难以自拔，无法忍受。

All of this is the individual factor , the existential element .

这些都是个人的因素，人的生活的一个部分。

But old age is frequently a tragedy even when the early years have been fulfilling and people

seemingly have everything going for them .

但即使在早年，生活非常充实而日似乎一帆风顺的人，晚年也常常是个悲剧。

Herein lies what I consider to be the genuine tragedy of old age in America

这里就存在着我们认为的美国老年的真正悲剧

–we have shaped a society which is extremely harsh to live in when one is old .

——我们制造了一个老人极难在其中生活的社会。

The tragedy of old age is not the fact that each of us must grow old and die but that the process of doing so has been made unnecessarily and at times excruciatingly painful痛苦, humiliating 屈辱, debilitating (虛弱)and isolating(孤獨) through insensitivity(冷漠) , ignorance愚昧and poverty .

老龄的悲剧并不是在于我们每个人正常变老和死亡，而是在于这过程被冷漠、愚昧和贫困搞得充满了不必要的，有时是难忍的痛苦屈辱、虚弱与孤独。

The potentials for satisfactions and even triumphs in late life are real and vastly underexplored

晚年生活中取得满足甚至成功的可能性是确实存在的，而且还远远没有发掘出来。

For the most part the elderly struggle to exist in an inhospitable world .

老人大都为生存在一个冷淡的世界上挣扎着。

Are things really that bad ? Let’s begin by looking at the basic daily requirements for survival .

事情确实如此糟糕？让我们首先看一看生存必须的基本日常需求吧。

Poverty or drastically lowered income收入大幅度下降and old age go hand in hand .

贫困或收入的大幅度下降与老年携手而至，

People who are poor all their lives remain poor as they grow old . Most of us realize this .

一生贫困的人们老后仍然贫困，我们大多数人都认识到这一点。

What we do not realize is that these poor are joined by multitudes of people who become poor only after growing older .

我们没有认识的是穷困者的队伍中加入了大批仅仅在进入老年后才变穷的人。

When Social Security becomes the sole(唯一) or primary（主要）income , it means subsistence –level styles for many , and recent increases do not keep up with soaring 高漲的costs of living .

当社会福利成为仅有的、主要的收入时，这对许多人就意味着仅能勉强维持生活，而且新增加的福利金赶不上高涨的生活费用。`

Private pension plans often do not pay off , and pension payments that do come in are not tied to inflationary彌補decreases in buying power.

各种非官方的养老金制度经常不能支付全部应付金额，而得到的养老金数

目又不能弥补由于通货膨胀而造成的购买力下降。

Savings can be wiped out by a single unexpected catastrophe .(大災難)

只要一个意想不到的灾祸就可以将积蓄化为乌有。

In January , 1971, half of the elderly , or over 10 million people , lived on less than $75a week , or $10 per day . Most lived on far less .

在1971年1月，有半数即1000万以上的老人每周靠不到75美元即每天10美元生活，多数人的钱比这还要少得多。

Even the relatively well –off are not assured of an income that will support them .

即使是相对宽裕一些的人也不能保证得到能维持他们生活的收入。

It has been estimated that at least 30per cent of the elderly live in substandard housing .

估计至少有30％的老人住在不合法定标准的房屋中，

Many more must deprive themselves of essentials to keep their homes in repair .

更多的人为了保持房子适于居住进行维修而不得不牺牲一些必需品。

The American dream promised older people that if they worked hard enough all their lives , things would turn out well for them .

美国梦给老人这样的期望，只要他们一生努力工作，一切终会好的。

Today’s elderly were brought up to believe in pride , self-reliance and independence .

今天的老人在成长过程中受到的教育是信奉自尊、自立、自主。

Many are tough , determined individuals who manage to survive against adversity . But even the tough ones reach a point where help should be available to them .

许多都是能在逆境中生存下来的坚韧不拔而又有主见的人物，但即使是坚韧不拔的人们也会需要得到帮助。

Age discrimination in employment is unrestrained , with arbitrary retirement practices and bias against hiring older people for available jobs .

就业方面的年龄歧视是不受任何限制的，规定退休的具体做法很任意。在雇佣人时对上年纪的人有歧视。

Social Security penalized the old by reducing their income checks as soon as they earn more than $2,400 a year .

一旦老年人工作一年挣得2400美元以上，社会福利便用减低福利金的办法来惩罚他们。

Job-training programs don’t want the elderly ( or the middle-aged , for that matter ) , so there is no opportunity to learn new skills .

职业训练项目不愿接收老年人（连中年人也不要），因此没有机会学新技能。

Employers rarely make concessions for the possible physical limitations of otherwise valuable older employees , and instead they are fired 解雇, retired or forced to resign .

雇主对于那些除了可能有体力上的局限外其它方面很有用的年长职工很少进行照顾，而是将他们解雇，要他们退休或强迫他们辞职。

It is obvious that the old get sick more frequently and more severely than the young , and 86 per cent have chronic(慢性) health problems of varying degree .

显然老年人比青年人容易生病，病起来也更严重，而且86%的老人有不同程度的慢性疾病。

These health problems , while significant , are largely treatable可以治and for the most part do not impair the capacity to work .

这些疾病固然应加以注意，但大量的疾病是可以治疗的，而且多数并不损害工作能力。

Medicare pays for only 45 per cent of older people’s health expenses ;the balance must come from their own incomes and savings , or from Medicaid , which requires a humiliating

(羞恥的)means test .

国家医疗制度只支付老年人医疗费用的45％，余下部分得从他们自己的收入或积蓄中支付，或由医疗补贴计划来支付，但为此必须接受令人羞辱的家庭经济情况调查。

A serious illness can mean instant poverty .

一场重病可能意味着顷刻之间变得一贫如洗。

Drugs prescribed outside of hospitals , hearing aids , glasses , dental care and podiatry (足科)are not covered at all under Medicare .

There is prejudice against the old by doctors and other medical personnel who don’t like to bother with them .

医生和其他医务人员歧视老年人，不愿为他们操心。

municipal hospitals in turn funnel them into nursing homes小型疗养所, mental hospitals精神病院and chronic-disease institutions 慢性疾病without the adequate 充分diagnostic診斷and treatment effort which might enable them to return home .

由于寂寞、糊涂、耳聋眼花，他们是狡诈的挨门挨户推销商品的人和骗人的广告的主要受害者，买下有毛病的助听器，报名上舞蹈课，参加毫无

老年妇女比老年男子遭遇更惨。

Women have an average life expectancy of seven years longer than men and tend to marry men older than themselves ;

妇女的平均估计寿命比男子长7年，她们一般倾向于和比自己年长的男子结婚，

Others who worked all their lives typically received low wages , with lower Social Security and private retirement benefits as a result .

Until 1973 , housewives who were widowed received only 82.5 per cent of their husband ‘s Social Security benefits even though they were full –time home –makers .

直到1973年为止，死去丈夫的家庭妇女，尽管她们专职全天工作持家，却只能领取去世丈夫的社会福利金的82．5％。

However , patterns方式of immigration by Asian-Americans to this country , the cultural barriers , language problems and discrimination歧視they have faced have all taken a toll of their elderly and their families .

特别是华裔老年男子，不允许他们带家眷到美国来，也不允许他们与别的人种通婚。

自考英语二怎么学

自考英语二怎么学 自考英语二怎么学 1 英语(二)词汇记忆方法 英语二词汇要求达到3800词，词组750.有的同学问是不是就只要背下册书的词汇就行了，回答是不够的，肯定是不够的，因为词汇没有说只考下册，上册也要背。但是有人说我短期内怎么记住这些大量的词汇呢?大家词汇学习第一个应该是有一定的时间，因为有的同学说一个星期或者两个星期教给你方法能够记住几千，他这个方法有点儿像变魔术，不太现实，我觉得词汇是一个积累。因为从心理学角度来讲学词汇有两个方向，一个方向是要把词汇学习的时候印象深刻，一个词能够像串葡萄似的串出一串来，比如同义词、反义词、近义词，应该把有关联的词相互记忆。第二，词汇一定得重复，从心理学角度学词必须这样。 2 英语(二)学习重点 英语是一种语言，任何语言都是由词和句子构成的，所以光会了词，不会把这些词组成句子是不行的，因此怎么组成句子呢?得知道组成句子的规则，还有一些习惯用法，你必须要了解这种语言的文化，所以说学英语光学词是不行的，因此是除了学词以外还得学词的用法以及文化，习惯用法就是一种文化，死背根本记不住。为什么记不住?背的这个词应该是灵活的，怎么灵活呢?这个词首先要知道词性是什么，做个句子，学了一个词不会做句子造一个短语，还要大声的念，李阳疯狂英语为什么风靡全国，就是要把词大声地念出来，这样从耳朵里能够听进去的，对大脑的刺激比眼睛里看见的要强得多，所以学习词汇的一个技巧要大声念，要组一个词或者组一个短语，这样记忆比光看两遍、写几遍要好得多。

3 英语(二)考前冲刺方法 最好的方法应该是做冲刺的题目，所谓冲刺的题目就是要做一些题目跟考试的真题一样的，每一部分都是给自己做测试，做模拟题，比如要设定时间是2个半小时，考试是2个半小时，你就要用2个 半小时做模拟卷然后做考试题，因为考试的真题都有答案，最后对 一下答案看得多少分。 4 英语(二)考试如何安排考场时间 考试时间安排，总有最后的翻译题来不及做的这种情况，所以我跟大家讲主观性题目，我刚才说了有30%，一定要留出足够的时间，至少三分之一的时间来做。有一部分比较难的，就像完形填空，那 个只有10分，但是有大部分同学在那儿花的时间太多了，完形填空 一段文章是比较难的，把10个空填进去，如果耗费了很多时间不值得。因为完形填空一般的同学语法知识比较差的话，做不好这道题。但是像第一个题目词汇结构题，如果有一定的语法知识这道题应该 是可以拿到分的。再有阅读理解题，也是30分，有的同学最后来不 及把文章仔细看，就随便乱选了很容易选错，所以把三分之一的时 间一定要留给阅读理解，还有三分之一的时间留给主观性题目就是 翻译题。 注意事项 备考英语(二)最大的资本就是课本，考生最少要留一个月时间，把课文从头到尾复习一遍，力求吃透课本知识。 重复学习法当感到知识已经掌握得的差不多的时候，再重复学一次。这一次也许会获得更深的印象和更多的体会。 换位思考法在自学中，不要老是把你自己当成是“学生”，处于被动地位，而要不断的把自己摆放到“先生”的位置上，采取主动，产生不同的想法来。

英语（二）模拟试题 Section I Use of English Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET . (10 points) Facebook has been 1 with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a 2 settlement with the giant social network over 3 that it had misled people about its use of their personal data. The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which 4 over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader 5 by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid 6 of social networks in America. The regulator’s findin gs come at a 7 moment for Facebook, which is said to be preparing for an initial public offering next year that could value it at around $100 billion. To 8 the way for its listing, the firm first needs to resolve its privacy 9 with regulators in America and Europe. 10 its willingness to negotiate the settlement 11 this week. Announcing the agreement, the FTC said it had found a number of cases where Facebook had made claims that were “unfair and deceptive, and 12 federal law”. For instance, it 13 personally identifiable information to advertisers, and it failed to keep a promise to make photos and videos on deleted accounts 14 . The settlement does not 15 an admission by Facebook that it has broken the law, but it deeply 16 the company nonetheless. In a blog post published the same day, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s boss, tried to17 the impact of the deal. First he claimed that “a small number of high-profile mistakes” were 18 the social network’s “good history” on privac y. The FTC is not relying on Facebook to police itself. Among other things, the company will now have to seek consumers’ approval before it changes the way it shares their data. And it has agreed to an independent privacy audit every two years for the next 20 years. There is a clear pattern here. In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular 19 audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy. The intent seems to be to create a regulatory regime that is tighter than the status quo, 20 one that still gives social networks plenty of room to innovate. 1.

Do not write your address. （分数：2.00） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：Dear Ken, I heard that you are moving to another dorm room this weekend. It's quite understandable because I know you are going to take the National Entrance Examination for Postgraduate and need to live and study with other graduate students. If you need my help, please call me. I am available at any time. I won't forget the days we live together. Although you are moving out, I am sure we can still play basketball together every weekend as before. This new basketball is a gift for you. I hope you'll like it. Sincerely, Li Ming) 解析：解析：这是一封向室友提供帮助的信件。室友以前跟自己同住一室，因此要写得很随和，非正式，并且要体现亲切感。第一段说明得知室友要搬宿舍，表示自己愿意帮忙。第二段表示不会忘记之前一起住的日子，以后还会常找他玩。第三段说送个小礼物给他，以示亲切。 4.Suppose your friend David just broke up with his girlfriend and was feeling sad.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might

Unit 2 The Fine Art of Putting Things Off Michael Demarest 1"Never put off till tomorrow," exhorted Lord Chesterfield in 1749, "what you can do today." That the elegant earl never got around to marrying his son's mother and had a bad habit of keeping worthies like Dr. Johnson cooling their heels for hours in an anteroom attests to the fact that even the most well-intentioned men have been postponers ever. Quintus Fabius Maximus, one of the great Roman generals, was dubbed "Cunctator " (Delayer) for putting off battle until the last possible vinum break. Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah's edicts to Pharaoh. Hamlet, of course, raised procrastination to an art form. 2The world is probably about evenly divided between delayers and do-it-nowers. There are those who prepare their income taxes in February, prepay mortgages and serve precisely planned dinners at an ungodly 6:30 . The other half dine happily on leftovers at 9 or 10, misplace bills and file for an extension of the income tax deadline. They seldom pay credit-card bills until the apocalyptic voice of Diners threatens doom from Denver. They postpone, as Faustian encounters, visits to barbershop, dentist or doctor. 3Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul. Jean Kerr, author of many successful novels and plays, says that she reads every soup-can and jamjar label in her kitchen before settling down to her typewriter. Many a writer focuses on almost anything but his task—for example, on the Coast and Geodetic Survey of Maine's Frenchman Bay and Bar Harbor, stimulating his imagination with names like Googins Ledge, Blunts Pond, Hio Hill and Burnt Porcupine, Long Porcupine, Sheep Porcupine and Bald Porcupine islands. 4From Cunctator's day until this century, the art of postponement had been virtually a monopoly of the military ("Hurry up and wait"), diplomacy and the law. In former times, a British proconsul faced with a native uprising could comfortably ruminate about the situation with Singapore Sling in hand. Blessedly, he had no nattering Telex to order in machine guns and fresh troops. A U.S. general as late as World War II could agree with his enemy counterpart to take a sporting day off, loot the villagers' chickens and wine and go back to battle a day later. Lawyers are among the world's most addicted postponers. According to Frank Nathan, a nonpost-poning Beverly Hills insurance salesman, "The number of attorneys who die without a will is amazing." 5Even where there is no will, there is a way. There is a difference, of course, between chronic procrastination and purposeful postponement, particularly in the higher echelons of business. Corporate dynamics encourage the caution that breeds delay, says Richard Manderbach, Bank of America group vice president. He notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly. The data explosion fortifies those seeking excuses for inaction—another report to be read, another authority to be consulted. "There is always," says Manderbach, "a delicate edge between having enough information and too much." 6His point is well taken. Bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal—and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made. The centralization of government that led to Watergate has spread to economic institutions and beyond, making procrastination a worldwide way of life. Many languages are studded with phrases that refer to putting things off—from the Spanish ma?ana to the Arabic bukra fil mishmish(literally "tomorrow in apricots," more loosely "leave it for the soft spring weather when the apricots are blooming"). 7Academe also takes high honors in procrastination. Bernard Sklar, a University of Southern California sociologist who churns out three to five pages of writing a day, admits that "many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page. There are all sorts of rationalizations: the pressure of teaching, responsibilities at home, checking out the latest book, looking up another footnote." 8Psychologists maintain that the most assiduous procrastinators are women, though many psychologists are (at $50-plus an hour) pretty good delayers themselves. Dr. Ralph Greenson, a professor of clinical psychiatry (and Marilyn Monroe's onetime shrink), takes a fairly gentle view of procrastination. "To many people," he says, "doing something, confronting, is the moment of truth. All frightened people will then avoid the moment of truth entirely, or evade or postpone it until the last possible moment." To Georgia State Psychologist Joen Pagan, however, procrastination may be a kind of subliminal way of sorting the important from the trivial. "When I drag my feet, there's usually some reason," says Fagan. "I feel it, but I don't yet know the real reason." 9In fact, there is a long and honorable history of procrastination to suggest that many ideas and decisions may well improve if postponed. It is something of a truism that to put off making a decision is itself a
