Ways to Build Resilience (恢复力)
Being resilient isn’t about avoiding misfortune, but rather how we respond to it. Resilience means doing well in the face of risk or difficulty. ___6___Being resilient can help you manage stress, lower your chances of depression, and has even been proven to make people live longer. To build resilience, the experts suggest the following:
Start with reaching out for support. Lack of social support can lead to decreased resilience. While it’s easy to let go of important relationships in our busy lives, ___7___Good relationships are a pillar (柱子)of rock for resilience and are a source of support when the times get tough. And cultivating your sense of humor is also a plus. ___8___Humor helps you to gain perspective during hard times. It also improves your sense of well-being through an increase in dopamine (多巴胺)levels in your brain, and can ultimately increase your overall health.
___9___ Having goals and dreams increases resilience. A lack of purpose and goals reduces resilience and may leave you open to being taken advantage of, manipulation (操纵), and poor life choices; it reduces your sense of control over your life, which can easily lead to depression and anxiety.

A．it is vital to make room for them.

Easy ways to reduce your food waste
Shop smart.
Most people tend to buy more food than they need. To avoid buying more food than you need, make frequent trips to the supermarket every few days rather than doing a big shopping trip once a week.___11___This will help you reduce impulse buying (冲动消费) and reduce food waste as well.
Store food correctly.
Improper storage leads to a massive amount of food waste. Many people are unsure how to store fruits and vegetables, which can lead to their eventually going bad. For example, potatoes, tomatoes, and onions should never be refrigerated. ___12___
Don’t be a perfectionist.
The consumer demand for perfect fruits and vegetables has led major supermarkets to buy only picture-perfect produce from farmers.___13___It’s such a big issue that major supermarkets have started offering“ugly”fruits and vegetables at a discount in an attempt to reduce waste.
___14___
Although going out to lunch with co-workers may be enjoyable, it is also costly and can contribute to food waste. A helpful way to save money while reducing food waste is to bring your lunch to work with you. If you tend to have unfinished home-cooked meals, pack them up for a satisfying and healthy workday lunch.
Understand expiration (到期) dates.
“Sell by”and“Best by”are just two of the many confusing terms companies use on food labels to let consumers know when a product will most likely go bad. The truth is, most food that has just passed its expiration date isstill safe to eat.“Sell by”is used to inform sellers when the product should be sold or removed from the shelves.“Best by”is a suggested date for consumers to use their products by. ___15___
A．Pack your lunch.
B．Get creative in the kitchen.
C．These items should be kept at room temperature.
D．This leads to tons of perfectly good food going to waste.
E．Additionally, try making a list of items that you need to buy and stick to that list.
F．Neither of these terms means that the product is unsafe to eat after the given date.
G．Not surprisingly, industrialized countries waste more food than developing nations
How to Love Yourself
Sometimes it seems easier to love others than it does to love yourself, but self-acceptance is an important part of developing healthy relationships with others.____16____. It also means living your own life as honestly as you can. Luckily, with a little practice and patience, you can learn to love yourself, too.
Know the dangers of a lack of self-love. A lack of self-love can lead you to make harmful choices. It can lead to a harmful dependence on others for validation, which makes people set aside their own needs in order to gain others’ approval.____17____
Discard your negative filter.____18____Too much focus on negative or less favorable events in your, life can make these events seem disproportionately (不成比例地) important. If you find yourself complaining that everything that happens to you is bad, try to find a little evidence to the contrary. It is very unlikely that everything is really bad.
____19____. Some people have trouble accepting anything less than perfection from themselves. If you find yourself pursuing perfectionism and feeling negatively about yourself when you are less than perfect, take three simple steps. Stop your current line of thinking, then focus on the effort that will be required to work toward a goal, and then steadily apply the required effort.
Celebrate and reward yourself. This is the fun part of self-love: rewarding yourself!____20____celebrate it with a nice dinner at your favorite fancy restaurant. Think of all of the hard work you do every day, and find a reason to reward yourself with something nice. Buy yourself the new book or video game you’ve had your eye on.

To be successful or fulfilled, we should plan steps and attach deadlines. Researches show that goals can get you to work harder, focus more and perform better.____21____Worse still, they can make you more likely to cheat, and less likely to thrive.
For most of us, goals are outcomes. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they’re constantly anxious about the results of what they do. In fact, focusing on the outcome may make you even less likely to meet it.____22____It may be to learn to focus on process and forget the outcome entirely.
____23____That relates to the other risk of goalsetting: its focus. Research also shows that if they don’t really know how to complete the task, give them a goal that early on messes up their performance.
As an analysis outlines, when people were given performance-oriented goal, they acted in more competitive, selfish ways. Of course, it’s human nature to have aims, but we also may want to change our whole approach. Imagine the goal as a journey, which is about enjoying the movement, the particular challenges and the landscapes.____24____
So instead of focusing on where you want to be, set a goal based on the experience you want to have along the way. If you really want to find fulfillment, you have to do something else too. Give yourself over to your work, but let go of the outcome.____25____But it can be freer and more fulfilling.
A．Goals in themselves aren’t bad.
B．But they also can kill your creativity.
C．So instead of focusing on your goal, what is the key
D．In other words, prioritize the journey not just the destination.
E．As a result, the people who focus less on their goal are more likely to meet it.
F．Research shows that tough, specific goals get better results than easy, vague ones.
G．That means living with fewer goals, and with purpose, direction and openness instead.
Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech ahead of time, you’ll have felt the social ban against communicating with yourself in words.
___26___ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a narrative (叙述)of our experience.
Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her frustrations (沮丧). ___27___ We do a lot of it when we are young—perhaps one reason for our shyness about continuing with it as adults.
As children, according to a Russian psychologist, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others. ___28___
We internalize (内化) the private speech we use as children—but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. ___29___ You’re bound to see an athlete or two encouraging themselves with a tart (刻薄的) phrase or scolding (责骂) themselves after a bad shot.
___30___ The to-and-fro between different points of view means our thoughts can end up in expected places. Both kinds of self-talk—the silent and the vocal (有声的)—seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking.
A．But there’s no need for embarrassment.
B．If you want proof, turn on the sports channel.
C．As we grow older, we make it part of our nature.
D．Psychologists refer to this as private speech.
E．Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
F．The effect of our words gives a valuable perspective on our actions.
G．Conducting a self-dialogue is good for solving problems and working through ideas.
More people are watching birds today than ever before; its popularity as a hobby has been growing rapidly over the past few years. But why do people take up bird-watching ____31____
It’s year-round. Unlike many hobbies, birding is non-seasonal. ____32____ Spring is the best season for birds to migrate and nest; in summer, you can see and hear young birds and observe local breeding birds before they’re gone again; fall migration brings its own excitement and changes in bird populations; in winter, you can enjoy feeding birds and watching the birds that over-winter in the area.
It’s economical. The degree of your involvement is up to you.
____33____ No expensive equipment is necessary to enjoy watching birds. All you need may be a good field guide and a proper binocular (双筒望远镜). Anything more is optional.
____34____The more you learn about birds, their needs, and the challenges many species face, the more concerned and involved you’re likely to become in supporting wildlife habitat conservation and restoration efforts. This involvement can be on many levels, from making sure your own property poet birds and other wildlife to educating others about the needs of bird populations.
It often leads down other paths. Watching birds in many cases causes involvement in other interests. ____35____ Many people also develop an interest in wildflowers or dragonflies(蜻蜓). An increasing number of bird watchers travel to see birds. There are bird and nature festivals and bird-watching tours to birding hotspots all over the world. Birding, therefore, could turn you into a world traveler!
A．It involves walking in nature.
B．It might change with the seasons.
C．It promotes habitat conservation.
D．And so is the cost of being involved.
E．Bird watchers these days are often butterfly watchers, too.

___37___ She was robbed on the train and pushed outside of the train. She lost her belongings and legs in that accident, which was very painful for her. ___38___She struggled a lot and one day she met with Bachendri Pal, who was the first Indian woman to climb Mount Everest, and she told Pal that she also wanted to climb Everest. She is successful. Now, she is the first female disabled athlete that has climbed Mount Everest. If she lost hope then India would never ever get such a lady that makes her country proud.
You need to believe that you can do anything for the world because IMPOSSIBLE itself says I'M POSSIBLE. If it is in your mind, it is in your range. ___39___ Always be optimistic and seize the opportunity which is coming around. Sometimes it happens that failure can demotivate (使失去动力)you, make you inferior (较差的)but it doesn’t mean that you do not have the ability to move forward; it’s your choice that you want to fight it or you become a pessimist.
Do as I say, and we should fight until the last breath because you’ll never know what will happen. ___40___ Remember that fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
A．But she didn’t lose hope.
B．Arunima Sinha is an exception.
C．So keep a good state of mind.
D．Take Arunima Sinha for example.
E．Because life works in a very mystical way.
F．Face challenges bravely when difficulty comes.
G．So if you want to do anything, just put effort into completing it.
I plan to remember this year’s vacation season with just two words: NEVER AGAIN. Never again, that is, will I take all my technology along.____41____Instead of long evenings of crossword puzzles of board games, we checked our Twitter feeds and updated our Facebook pages. That is the problem with the Internet: unless you’re equipped with massive self-control, you use it if it’s there.
For several years, I kept my Internet addiction under control by using inconvenient technology: a laptop which is old and not in good condition and a slow dial- up connection.____42____The magical iPad signaled silently from the picnic table: Once that attractive touch screen lights up, who can resist
____43____I’m a late adopter. As early as 2008, Nicholas Carr, a famous writer, was warning that broadband Internet was reducing our attention spans and making us stupid. Even before that, in 2000,Harvard’s Robert Putnam warned that television—and, more broadly, staring into any kind of screen —had reduced the amount of time families spent in social interactions.
____44____I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips; I love having the world’s newspapers on my electronic doorstep. It’s also nice to have an app that identifies the constellations when you hold the iPad up to the night sky. But then, you have to remember to put the screen down and simply drink in the stars.
And that’s the point:____45____It’s our fault instead of the Internet, for failing to control the urge to browse. So now I have one more thing to look forward to next summer: More time reading old novels; more time playing crossword puzzles and chasing frogs.
A．The Internet has ruined summer vacations.
B．Access to the Web is unquestionably a wonderful thing.
C．I’m not the first to get lost across this problem, of course.
D．People should not rely simply on the Internet to provide them with other information.
E．It’s important not to let the convenience of the Internet get in the way of simpler beauties.
F．Although the Internet is often useful, it can become addictive and prevent human interaction.
G．But this year, the combination of a new iPad and very good Wi-Fi turned out to be disastrous.
If you’re anything like the average American, you probably check your smartphone more than 50 times per day as a 2018 study found. ___46___ In fact, The University of Arizona found back in 2012 that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, largely because toilet seats are typically cleaned more frequently while personal electronics are largely overlooked.
As the novel coronavirus continues to spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization are advising the general public to wash hands often and disinfect(消毒) frequently touched objects and surfaces. ___47___
But cleaning your phone can be tricky, considering many of the standard cleaning products you’d typically use for disinfection could potentially damage your mobile device. You may want to wipe down your phone’s screen with some rubbing alcohol or a disinfectant wipe. ___48___ These phones have a coating on them to prevent oil or grease from your hand from sticking on the phone. Using alcohol or those types of everyday solutions directly on a phone, on its glass can harm it. ___49___
That lines up with the advice Apple and Samsung offer which warn not to use cleaning products. ___50___ If you need to disinfect your smartphone, consider looking into a UV light to kill the bacteria.
A．You should avoid using alcohol.
B．But in doing so, you risk damaging your device’s screen.
C．That means keeping your phone clean is important as well.
D．You should still be cautious wvhen exposing them to liquids.
E．Instead, use a micro fiber cloth and dampen it lightly with soap and water.
F．And each time you do, your mobile device picks up more bacteria from your hands.
G．Both companies say wiping your phone down with a soft cloth is the best way to clean it.
As digital devices have taken over society, “keyboard activity” is now often recommended as a substitute(替代物) for early handwriting, a new study notes. ____51____.
“Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” notes Audrey Vander Meer, the new study’s leader, who works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. ____52____. The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible, she notes. She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.
____53____. Her new findings prove this. This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity, “gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains.
Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memories of each letter. ____54____. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters. All of these use and connect more areas of the brain.
Along the way, these processes appear to “open the brain up for learning”, says Vander Meer. ____55____. She expresses her worries.
Vander Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates “visual note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be “interlinked (互连的) by boxes, and arrows, and supplemented by small drawings”.
A．Young kids should learn several basic drawing skills.
B．It is believed that typing may be easier for young children.
C．Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard.
D．It has to be done by hand, not necessarily typing on a keyboard.
E．So learning through only one format—digital—could be harmful.
F．She measures brain activity to better understand learning and behaviors
G．It is also necessary for us to use our eyes to watch what shapes we are writing.
Some people seem to be born happy. Nothing seems to get them down. However, some people seem to have everything going well but they still do not seem to be happy. ___56___

Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We usually compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. ____63____ We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.
Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing our mind is partly wondering somewhere else. ____64____

Some people say house dust is mostly human skin cells, but it’s only a little bit true. ____71____, but there are many other components(成分)on top of your ceiling fans. These include paint, hair, building materials, bacteria, viruses, insect body parts, etc.
That list is based on the Canadian House Dust Study, in which researchers collected dust samples from 1,025 Canadian homes. The proportions(比例)of the components vary from household to household. A house near a busy road, for example, is likely to harbor a high level of outdoor pollutants from car exhaust(废气). ____72____.
The commonly-cited statement that 70% to 80% of house dust is human skin cells is likely not true for most houses. ____73____, and 40%came from dirt and other materials from outside. That indoor 60%included everything from organic fibers to building materials, not just dead skin cells.
People do drop lots of skin cells as they go about their business. ____74____. Not all dead skin flakes(剥落)off onto your home’s floors. Many run down the drain(下水道)in the shower, and others are contained by clothing and end up being washed out in the washing machine.
____75____. One study found that higher levels of cholesterol and squalene (oils found in dead skin) in dust were associated with lower levels of ozone(臭氧)indoors. Ozone is a pollutant that can cause lung discomfort. Ozone reacts with these oils, thus reducing indoor ozone by between 2% and 15%.

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. ____81____ Furthermore, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that ____82____ But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like ____83____ “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. ____84____
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that ____85____
A．television enriches children’s daily life.
B．it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.
C．Watching television is good for their brain development.
D．Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
E．television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
F．Instead, they learn both specific and hidden meanings from what they see.
G．parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading.
Does your dog always want to go wherever you’re going and most of the time, this behavior is welcomed ____86____However, if you find your dog doing this too often or if it’s accompanied by other troubling behavior like eating less, going outside less often or interacting less with other family members, there could be potential issues.
____87____Usually, it’s simply out of loyalty and the close relationship that’s been created with its owner, because he or she is the one that provides care and comfort and keeps it safe. However, sometimes, your dog wants to follow you possibly due to something negative.____88____
Dogs are emotional animals and may feel anxious for some reason sometimes. It may take much time and training to help your dog work through what’s causing the problem____89____You’ll have to work with your dog consistently or hire a professional trainer.
One way to stop your dog from following you might be putting it in a secure and reliable area.____90____If your dog spends all of its time with you and you alone, it may express a dislike for being away from you or interacting with other humans or dogs.
A．You and your dog must have a similar lifestyle.
B．You may think it’s because it loves and trusts you.
C．There are many reasons why dogs follow their owners.
D．For example, it could be ill, bored, nervous or stressed.
E．Keep in mind that the behavior won’t be cured overnight.
F．Another trick might be to make sure your dog socializes enough.
G．This could be especially true if dogs can take care of themselves.
How to Give Feedback that People Will Listen to
If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing. ____91____ Receiving feedback from peers can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this
First, if you spot a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them. ____92____
When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. ____93____ Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It’s less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes “interesting” than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor. Feedback should also look toward the future. ____94____ Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.
____95____ If someone said that you were boring in your speech, would you know how to fix it Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice.
Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego (自我) under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don’t take it personally—it can only help you give better advice next time!
