How to not be a slave to technology
Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, shared four of his most important tools for applying technology more productively, and building a work life that supports—rather than wastes—your energy.
Build daily rituals (习惯). Build highly specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until it becomes as automatic as brushing your teeth at night. The best way to prioritize (优先考虑) what's important to us and make sure we actually do the things we care about is to create highly specific habits.
Take a “first things first” approach to your mornings. Ninety-five percent of people have more energy early in the morning than they do as the day wears on, and they also have fewer distractions(干扰). So if that's the case, why wouldn't you do the most important thing when you have the most energy
Use technologies selectively. If you expose yourself to different forms of technology continuously, they will pull you in the way a drug would, even when you know it is not serving you well. Keep technological temptations (诱惑) away when you find yourself getting too distracted—or as Schwartz puts it: “ ”
Many of us live our lives in a gray zone—were not fully focused on work when were working, and during our leisure time, we're not fully relaxed. This leaves us feeling distracted. Schwartzs advice Applying less than your full focus doesn't just make you less productive; distraction keeps you from being fulfilled by and connected to your work. Distraction is the enemy to meaning.
A. Be intentional with your energy.
B. Do the most important thing first every day.
C. Taking breaks throughout the workday is a nice thought.
D. If you're trying to lose weight, don't have cup--cakes in the fridge.
E. We've crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information coming at us.
F. When you're working, you're really working; and when you're relaxing, you're really relaxing.
G. The only way to ensure that things that aren't urgent but are important happen is to develop habits.

At first I was paid in candy I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.
By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear ” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas.
The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn't need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

According to a report in theScientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins Mexico.The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza, Tulum and Palenque arewearing away very quickly indeed. These sites are the remains of the buildings builtby the Mayas between 250 BC and AD900, and the spectacular ruins of civilizationare visited by thousands of tourists every year.
The acid rainis said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Car exhaustgases are also a problem. Local volcanic eruption make the problem even worse. Nevertheless,with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could besolved and the rate of dissolving reduced.
Mexico's currentlack of funds is also partly due to oil. The country has rich oil field and a fewyears ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico was selling large quantities of oil tothe USA and earning a lot of money.

A. However, the Mexican governmentdoes not have enough money to do the work, and needs to spend what money it hason the Mexican people.
B. That is enough to have causedsome of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already.

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen areromantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these juststereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character？And if there is, can it affect howa nation succeed or fail
At least one group of people is certainthat it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt thattheir efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒). 7．
Jealousy is sometimes known as the"green－eyed monster"and the UK is its home.
Scientists at Warwich University inthe UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gaveeach an imaginary amount of money.
8． Those given a little were given thechance to destroy the large amount of money given to others—but at the cost of losingtheir own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
9． But there is also opposite evidence.The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported thatthe UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people whoare supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyoneelse in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
“It is not really success that theBritish dislike," says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the Universityof Manchester Institute of Science and Technology." It's people using theirsuccess in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots."
10． They set out todo things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 11． It hardly seems worth following their example.If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want tobe like them.
A. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.
B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.
C. Some were given a little, others a great deal.
D. is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.
E. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were "unloved, unwantedand misunderstood"．
F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.
G. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.
12．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。
In 2015, motorcyclist Robert Jan kicked off a three-monthsolo(独自的) ride from the Netherlands to India.
One day when he was watching a TV showabout a man documenting his travels across countries, Robert decided he wantedto do something similar. About a decade later, he got his driver's license. Two years after that, Robert began asolo motorcycle trip from his home in the Netherlands to India. He traveledmore than 10,000 miles in just under three months.
Robert, who is today a 30-year-old graphic designer (平面设计师), began planning the trip in September2014, shortly after his graduation from Willem de Kooning Academy. He secured the necessary paperwork,got cash, and supported the adventure through a graphic design job. He and hisblue motorcycle—which he nicknamed Perry—took off in late August of 2015.
He met fellow travelers along the wayand slept outside, all the while writing about his experience on his blog, Going Eastwards.
But the three-month adventure also came with its challenges.Sometimes, he would go miles without spotting a much-needed gas station, andmoney eventually grew scarce(不足的). In the end of November, Robert finallyreached Mumbai, India. There, he shipped his bike back to Houten in theNetherlands and put himself on a plane back home.
“Took 81 days to get there,” he posted on Instagram, “backwithin 18 hours.”
A. And in 2013, hebought his first motorcycle.
B. From a young age,Robert has been an adventurer.
C. By the time hearrived, all the beds were occupied.
D. They helped Robertget the motorcycle out of the freezing cold water.
E. Riding through 14countries, Robert met a diverse set of people and landscapes.
F. Closer to the endof the trip, the motorcycle broke down—but a local helped him out.
G. He spent the nextseveral months reading stories of motorcycle adventurers like Paul van Hoff andGordon G. May.
13．Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence canbe used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Therefore, many teachers have been shifting the focus of activity from teacher to learners. B. Meanwhile, those who are teacher-centered should work to engage and involve students. C. In the traditional approach to teaching, most class time is spent with the teacher lecturing and the students watching and listening. D. This approach emphasizes a variety of different types of methods that shift the role of the instructors form givers of information to facilitators of student learning. E. Inductive methods include inquiry - based learning, case-based instruction, problem-based learning, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching. F. The thinking that teaching is either teacher-centered or learner-centered breaks the inseparable connection and is harmful to both students and teachers.
Instructor-centered or Learner-centered
Whether in the East or West, the chiefbusiness of traditional education is to pass to the next generation the skills,facts, and standards of moral and social conduct that adults consider to benecessary for the next generation's material and social success.
The students work individually onassignments, and cooperation is discouraged. The result of this emphasis onwhat instructors do is that students may become passive learned and do not takeresponsibility for their own learning. Educators call this traditional method "instructor-centeredteaching".
In contrast, "learner - centeredteaching" occurs when instructors focus on student learning. It is anapproach to teaching that is increasingly being encouraged in higher education. These methods include active learning, in which students solveproblems, answer questions, formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain,debate, or brainstorm during class; cooperative learning, in which studentswork in teams on problems and projects under conditions that assure bothpositive interdependence and individual account ability; and inductive(归纳法)teaching andlearning, in which students are first presented with challenges and learn thecouse material in the context of addressing the challenges.
Although learner-centered methods haverepeatedly been shown to be superior to the traditional teacher-centeredapproach to instruction, the best teaching, according to Parker Plamer, theauthor of The Courage to Teach, is not one or the other, but a combination ofboth.
Learner-centerdteachers still need to lecture because teachers are the definitive contentexperts in the classroom and the knowledge and experiences of teachers can beextremely helpful to students. They must recognize that students canlearn from each other and that the deepest learning happens when students havethe opportunity to practice and obtain feedback.

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody else's life If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.
If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost ”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.
For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn't have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn't have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person Or adventurous Or loving, or realistic Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.
Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.
Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it's important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i.e. yourself.

Scientists at Warwich University inthe UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gaveeach an imaginary amount of money.
8． Those given a little were given thechance to destroy the large amount of money given to others—but at the cost of losingtheir own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
9． But there is also opposite evidence.The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported thatthe UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people whoare supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyoneelse in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
“It is not really success that theBritish dislike," says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the Universityof Manchester Institute of Science and Technology." It's people using theirsuccess in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots."
10． They set out todo things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 11． It hardly seems worth following their example.If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want tobe like them.
A. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.
B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.
C. Some were given a little, others a great deal.
D. is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.
E. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were "unloved, unwantedand misunderstood"．
F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.
G. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.

In 2015, motorcyclist Robert Jan kicked off a three-monthsolo(独自的) ride from the Netherlands to India.
One day when he was watching a TV showabout a man documenting his travels across countries, Robert decided he wantedto do something similar. About a decade later, he got his driver's license. Two years after that, Robert began asolo motorcycle trip from his home in the Netherlands to India. He traveledmore than 10,000 miles in just under three months.

He secured the necessary paperwork,got cash, and supported the adventure through a graphic design job. He and hisblue motorcycle—which he nicknamed Perry—took off in late August of 2015.
He met fellow travelers along the wayand slept outside, all the while writing about his experience on his blog, Going Eastwards.
But the three-month adventure also came with its challenges.Sometimes, he would go miles without spotting a much-needed gas station, andmoney eventually grew scarce(不足的).

A. Therefore, many teachers have been shifting the focus of activity from teacher to learners. B. Meanwhile, those who are teacher-centered should work to engage and involve students. C. In the traditional approach to teaching, most class time is spent with the teacher lecturing and the students watching and listening. D. This approach emphasizes a variety of different types of methods that shift the role of the instructors form givers of information to facilitators of student learning. E. Inductive methods include inquiry - based learning, case-based instruction, problem-based learning, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching. F. The thinking that teaching is either teacher-centered or learner-centered breaks the inseparable connection and is harmful to both students and teachers.
Instructor-centered or Learner-centered
Whether in the East or West, the chiefbusiness of traditional education is to pass to the next generation the skills,facts, and standards of moral and social conduct that adults consider to benecessary for the next generation's material and social success.
The students work individually onassignments, and cooperation is discouraged. The result of this emphasis onwhat instructors do is that students may become passive learned and do not takeresponsibility for their own learning. Educators call this traditional method "instructor-centeredteaching".
In contrast, "learner - centeredteaching" occurs when instructors focus on student learning. It is anapproach to teaching that is increasingly being encouraged in higher education. These methods include active learning, in which students solveproblems, answer questions, formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain,debate, or brainstorm during class; cooperative learning, in which studentswork in teams on problems and projects under conditions that assure bothpositive interdependence and individual account ability; and inductive(归纳法)teaching andlearning, in which students are first presented with challenges and learn thecouse material in the context of addressing the challenges.
Although learner-centered methods haverepeatedly been shown to be superior to the traditional teacher-centeredapproach to instruction, the best teaching, according to Parker Plamer, theauthor of The Courage to Teach, is not one or the other, but a combination ofboth.
Learner-centerdteachers still need to lecture because teachers are the definitive contentexperts in the classroom and the knowledge and experiences of teachers can beextremely helpful to students. They must recognize that students canlearn from each other and that the deepest learning happens when students havethe opportunity to practice and obtain feedback.
