听力原文：M: United World Colleges. Can I help you？
W: Yes, I'd like some information about the college, please.
M: What would you like to know？
W: My name's Julia Harris and I have a friend in Spain who's interested in applying for a place at one of the colleges. There are one or two questions that she'd like me to ask you.
M: Go ahead.
W: Thanks. What language is used for most lessons？
M: Well, the main language of instruction in all the college is English. But at Pacific College in Canada some subjects are taught in French.
W: Right. Is it expensive to go to one of the colleges？
M: Students' parents don't have to be rich, if that's what you mean. There are scholarships for all colleges, but we do ask the parents to pay what they can afford. It's ＄2400 per year.
W: Good. Now she wants to know something about getting into a college. Does she have to get high marks in her examinations？
M: Ah, yes, well she will have to do well, but academic ability is not the only thing that's important. We also look at personal qualities.
W: What sort of things do you mean？
M: Maturity, the ability to get along well with people from different countries, that sort of thing.
W: I understand what you mean. The last question is about her other interests. Can she take painting or modern dancing, for example？
M: Yes, probably. It depends on the staff at the college she enters. Each college has its own special activities, such as theatre studies or environmental work, in which students can take part.
W: Good. I think that's all. Thank you very much for your help.
M: You're welcome. Goodbye.
W: Goodbye.

At the root of the problem is an inability to regulate behavior. and control impulses—say, drinking more than you had intended when you sat down at the bar. "If you're quite impulsive then you're unable to protect one intention from another," says Timothy A. Pychyl, the leader of the Procrastination Research Group who is also a psychologist and co-author of the study. Things can get worse when tasks are impersonal or out of one's control. "Most assignments are not things that students initiated themselves," he says. "They can lack meaning for that reason."
Giving a procrastinator a hand-held organizer probably won't change habits in the long term. "It's not about time management," Dr. Pychyl says. "Some people will buy a day planner, fill it in and say that's it for today. It becomes part of the procrastination itself."
Such tardiness is not unusual. In one survey, 70 percent of the students confessed to academic tardiness. Some favorite excuses are computer failure, leaving a paper at home and the death of a grandmother.
Procrastinators have many problems, except that ______.

听力原文： People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the animal welfare group, begins a global boycott of KFC to seek an improvement in the lives and deaths of 700 million chickens who become the chain's fried meals every year. The group plans to start a campaign pressing the chain to change how chickens are raised in large farms in the United States and around the world. Among the suggestions are to improve the diets of hens and to gas chickens to sleep before they are slaughtered.
This is not the group's first campaign to improve chickens' lives—it has won concessions from McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. But it is the, group's first effort to focus on restaurants worldwide.
With fat people trying to sue fast-food restaurants for helping to cause their obesity, the group hopes to tap into the growing public criticism of a fast-food diet as well as the concern over farm animal welfare. Instead of following the slow path of pushing for changes in regulations, the group wants restaurants to enforce immediate changes by telling farmers they will not Buy chickens raised and killed under current conditions.
"If people knew what happened to those chickens, raising them in their own filth and then dumping them on an assembly line to have their throats cut when they're still alive, they wouldn't go to Kentucky Fried Chicken," a spokesman for the group, Bruce Friedrich, said.
Officials of the KFC Corporation declined a request for an interview and would not respond to the accusations from the group. Instead they issued a statement. "KFC is committed to the well being and humane treatment of chickens and we require all of our suppliers to follow welfare guidelines developed by us with leading experts on our Animal Welfare Advisory Council," the statement said. "Our suppliers ensure strict compliance with our guidelines."
Ian Duncan, a member of the advisory council and chairman of animal welfare in the department of animal and poultry sciences at the University of Guelph in Canada, said the animal welfare group may have a point. "I've been doing research into chicken welfare since 1965 and change has been slow, very slow," Mr. Duncan said in a telephone interview. "PETA is very extreme and they exaggerate, but maybe that's what it takes," he said. "I used to be very much against them, but I can see they are getting things done."
How many chickens become the KFC chain's fried meals every year？
