Starting a new term always feels a little bit like a beginning of a new year.Last year,as a fresher,I felt a little worried at the beginning of each term.That's why,this year,I want to start the term with a positive (积极的) mind.I have collected some ways that can really help improve my confidence.
It has been found that if we want to succeed,we should break our new plan into smaller tasks.It sounds easy,but how do we start?It is a good idea to write down things you will do every evening.Start with the most important task and then focus on smaller tasks that you are sure you will be able to complete.If you are not a fan of a paper to do list,there are so many fun apps.Sticking to the plan will stop you from doing everything at the last minute.
It is also very important to stay active.Set a goal of 10,000 steps a day or go for a run with a friend.Honestly,you don't even need to go to a gym,because there are different kinds of exercises online.You can even stretch(伸展) for 15 minutes every day.Just choose whatever works for you.Exercise can improve our ability to sleep,reduce stress (压力) and make us healthy.
Before starting the term,think of your goals—not only those towards which you are working,but also those that you've already managed to achieve.Don't feel too anxious,notice your progress and always remember to take a rest.Keep in mind that everything takes time.Take a 10 minute rest between lessons,which can be a conversation with a friend,checking the news,or taking a walk.In short,do something for yourself.

When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something,he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other.I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.All he did after work was taking care of his family.
I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat.All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.
Four years ago, my dad visited me.He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter.He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual.I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately.I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short.Several hours later that day I received a call.My father was in hospital.Immediately,I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad.By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away.Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself.All he ever wanted was my time.And now he has all my attention every single day.

Most of us lead unhealthy lives;we spend far too much sitting down.If in addition we are careless about our diets,our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving.There are some aspects (方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.I am thinking of such features (特点) of modern city life as pollution,noise,rushed meals and stress.But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils.The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other.While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park,they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling,walking,jogging and swimming.What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way,so slowly,that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good,except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape,through sport or gymnastics,you are still only half way to good health,because,according to the experts,you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation (放松).It has to do with deep breathing,emptying your mind of all thoughts,meditation,and so on.Yoga,as practiced in the West,is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation.It seems ironical (讽刺性的),though,that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
1.Pollution,noise and stress are examples of .
A.causes of unfitness
B.bad features of living in towns
C.the things we can completely do away with
D.unavoidable things in town
2.To be healthy we must .
A.keep fit and active
B.keep fit and learn to relax
C.be active and practise Yoga
D.have a sound mind
3.Our forefathers were healthy because .
A.their way of life was closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B.they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C.they spent most of the time out of doors
D.their environment was not polluted
4.What would be the best title for the text
A.How to Keep Fit
B.How to Learn to Relax
C.How to Live a Healthy Life
D.How to Practise Yoga
