We know them when we see them: The TV shows and movies we love, even though we just know they're bad. The worthless books we simply can't put down.
Yes, these are our guilty pleasures --- what some people consider the junk food in our media diets. But if we enjoy them, why should we feel guilty? As it turns out, these so-called \good for us, so long as they're enjoyed in moderation （适度）.

Perhaps the most important value of a guilty pleasure is the bond it can create between people.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项， 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever frequently put off things you should do for various reasons? If so, it is procrastination （拖延）.Procrastinators often put off doing things and leave them to the very last moment. 36 Lazy people simply don't do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can't force themselves to start.
You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven't done may cause discomfort.
37 Don't place too much pressure on yourself. \this opportunity,\small task. You can always improve your work later.
39 Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is — with each step along the way — to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don't write a book; write a page.

The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. 40 We all know that if we start, we'll eventually finish the task. A. Break a long project down into short tasks. B. So procrastination is about managing the time. C. So we should apply ourselves to overcoming it. D. However, procrastination is different from laziness. E. Focus on the negative effects of the procrastination.
