26、Although we’re often told that procrastinating (拖延) in college is harmful and that leaving our assignments to the last minute can lead us to feel more stressed, I like to wait before starting any assignment, since I tend to overthink and want to make it perfect. When I procrastinate, it’s not out of laziness, but rather, a desire to be efficient.
In an op-ed, Adam Grant, a professor of management and psychology, explored the connection between performance and procrastination habits, and cited an experiment conducted by one of his former students. In the study, procrastinators’ ideas were found to be 28% more creative than the ideas of those who didn’t procrastinate. As it turns out, procrastination might help generate creative ideas — which may explain why some students perform well at the last minute.
While procrastination might work well for some students, it may lead to increased levels of anxiety for others. One college student, Amanda, says, “If I procrastinate or struggle with assignments, it affects my mental health by making me feel trapped and anxious.” Not only can procrastination cause anxiety for students, but trying to finish an assignment in a hurry can also negatively impact their grades — and lead them to make small, careless mistakes — which can lead to even more anxiety.
It’s important to point out that there’s a difference between casual procrastination and chronic (长期的) procrastination. Chronic procrastination, distress over academics, or lack of motivation can often lead to more serious mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. If you struggle with managing schoolwork to the point where it affects your grades and interpersonal relationships over a long time, you might have to visit your school counselor or the academic resource center.
Everyone has different styles of working and managing their time, and when it comes to procrastinating in college, it’s always good to reflect on whether it’s helping or hurting. Figuring this part out can take a while, so make a note of how you’re completing your assignments and start writing down how you feel. Prioritize self-care whether you start your assignment the week before its due date or the day before.

27、Traveling the world is a dream for many people, but negotiating airports isn't always pleasant. No one likes to stand in a long line waiting to check in for a flight. Fortunately, Taoyuan International Airport makes the process a breeze.
To better serve travelers, the airport launched its In-Town Check-In service, located in section A1 at Taipei Main Station. It helps passengers save time by offering them a way to check their baggage before arriving at the airport. Passengers can choose to use online or smartphone check-in. At the In-Town Check-In, passengers simply scan a QR code from their phone to print baggage tags, which they affix (黏上) to their bags. Now passengers' bags are ready for the Self Baggage Drop service provided in section A1. Check-in. This way is convenient and hassle-free.
Passengers who wish to check in at the airport can also use the airport's convenient kiosks(小亭).Using the kiosk is quite similar to checking in on a smartphone.

31、根据汉语提示补全短文。

Some of these slogans may also appeal to (迎合) our emotions. For example, a slogan may connect a fine china 【6】(茶壶) it aims to promote with our pride in having good taste. You will hear a variety of slogans any time you watch TV. Think about your favourite one. What makes it special? And what message does it try to 【7】(被传达)? A slogan which communicates an idea effectively can【8】(使增长) sales and even becomes part of popular culture. That is the power of memorable slogans.
Another technique advertisers often employ is to link their company or product to a “【9】(品牌)【10】(大使)”-a famous actor, a sports star, or even a fictional character. Think of a popular fast-food restaurant. Does it have a 【11】(品牌大使)? Is the 【12】(品牌大使) popular among potential customers? The more we like the brand ambassador, the more we will be attracted to buy the product.
