25、behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100 Thing Challenge”.With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism，Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items. He cut down his possessi

26、ons to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes. He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate-family-shared and household items did not count as personal items. He also grouped together some basic things such as unde

27、rwear and socks.

29、time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.”Brunos project has also inspired others to live minimally, many of whom post their own 100 Thing Challenge updates on YouTube. “The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisingly easy”，says Bruno, “Im not saying th

One of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get aroundExperts say one possible solution to the traffic problem in Los Angeles would be to makepeople want to use the public transportation system of buses i

36、nstead of their own cars. People say the buses should be made easier, faster, less costly and more dependable than driving a car.One suggestion is to reduce the cost of riding the bus. People who usually drive their cars could save a lot of money on gas and parking costs. Also, Los Angeles could mak

37、e the buses easier for people to use. The buses could travel to more places in the city. And there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive in.

44、 college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it.

45、acks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this d

48、kes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的）in a society that thinks of swift action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral

49、good.Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it.
