Steps to Take to Become a Morning Person
Seek out as much natural light as possible.

Ease in gradually.
____32____ You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. But for some people — like those who need to drive long distances — those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.
____33____
A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise. ____34____
Plan something to look forward to.
____35____ “Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a. m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”
A．Reschedule your bedtime.
B．Wind down in the evenings.
C．The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
D．There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising.
E．To tempt you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special.
F．Being exposed to artificial light in the late evening could interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
G．They also recommend rethinking the curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment.
During the process of learning English, we students are bound to run across a variety of difficulties. When I was in senior high school, vocabulary was the biggest headache for me. There were always a sea of new words for me to cope with. Apparently, I couldn’t interpret the hidden meaning of a complex sentence,much less a well-written text. Worse still, I couldn’t memorize the new words.___36___Hopefully, he offered me some important suggestions, which have helped me out. Here are some practical tips I’d like to share with you.
Read more.___37___Be consistent. As well as improving your vocabulary, you’ll also keep updated and backdated, your general knowledge will increase, and you’ll be an intelligent, well-rounded person.
___38___Dive in. Read entries for words you aren’t yet familiar with. This requires the ownership of a quality dictionary to make it more interesting, so look for a dictionary that has lengthy explanations on the origins and uses of words, as these will go a long way to help you remember the word and enjoy using your dictionary.
Try to guess the words in context. When you see an unfamiliar word, do not skip over it impatiently. Try to puzzle out its possible meaning in the context of the sentence, then look it up in the dictionary and confirm its definition.___39___
As for memorizing the words, figure out the spelling rules and classify them in chunks.
Learning is endless. To be a lifelong learner definitely requires a lot. ___40___Creating habits to help us learn and use the most accurate words in our language will make it easier to communicate, write, and think.

How to Organize Your Digital Files
Searching for a file on your computer is a whole lot easier than digging through a pile of papers, yet it’s far from being a perfect system. Lately, it’s been hit-or-miss for me. ____41____ I hope some of these tips will help you.
Use “resources”, “in progress”, “final”, and “scrap” folders for projects.
There are plenty of ways to title your subfolders for projects, but one of the most intuitive(使用简便的) is to have folders for stages of your project. ____42____
The “resources” folder is for things like images, documents, and other items that are needed to complete your project. ____43____“Final,” as you might imagine, is for the project files once the project has been approved and is done. “Scrap” is for anything you want to save from the project that doesn’t belong in the “final” folder.
____44____
It’s near impossible to find a photo quickly when you have thousands of photos all named something like “20211108_0978234.jpg.” So for photos, I like to have a date structure and folders for key events or categories, such as: 2021 ＞01 (for the month)＞2021-01 Mom and Dad 50 Anniversary LA．This way, you can either browse your photos by year and month or search for folders that include “Mom”, “Dad”, “Anniversary”, or “LA．”
Use tags.
In addition to creating a folder structure that works for you, consider tagging files. ____45____ Say, for example, you want to see all of your photos for all of your holiday celebrations. You can set up a tag for “holidays.” And then to narrow down the results, you can search using the tag.

Do you remember what it is like to be a kid ____46____Wake up. Get dressed. Brush your teeth. Eat your breakfast. Get in the car. Go to school. Sometimes kids listen to the instructions, but sometimes they don’t. And when they don’t, that can be very depressing for parents. So how can parents get their kids to act accordingly
One strategy widely recommended by children’s health professionals is to engage your child in “special time”. For at least 5 minutes a day, join your child in activities like playing with dolls-anything that doesn’t have a right or wrong way to play. Don’t ask questions or give commands. ____47____It gives your child a chance to interact with you without the stress of having to follow directions, which in turn strengthens the bond between you.
Research has shown that this kind of playtime can be helpful in treating disruptive (捣乱的) conduct in children. According to a 2017 review of literature, special time has long been regarded as an “effective prevention for many emotional and behavioral difficulties” since it was developed in the 1970s. ____48____
If you’re ready to try special time with your child, keep these in your mind. Repeat back some of what they say. If they say “and it crashes,” you’re going to say “and it crashes.” The repetition shows your child you understand them and that you’re listening. ____49____. Rather than saying “good job,” because kids hear that all day long, say “I love the way you stack (堆) those blocks high.”
____50____But give it a week or two, and you’ll find that your child won’t want it to end. The best way to find out if something is good or successful is to test it yourself.
A．This is your child’s time to be in charge.
B．So much of the day is directed by adults.
C．Show enthusiasm while playing with your child.
D．The practice often feels awkward for adults at first.
E．Give your child specific praise as you play together.
F．It increases the closeness between your child and you.
G．It’s also been shown to boost concentration and social skills in children.

The most obvious benefit is that the more you cook basic ingredients, the less processed food you’ll end up eating. As we know, processed food is often short of nutrients and can hide several questionable ingredients____52____
Another less obvious benefit is that cooking can lower stress levels. We know any type of creativity lowers stress and benefits overall health. This certainly includes making food. Planning a recipe, chopping produce, adding seasoning,making adjustments — these are all parts of the creative process of cooking. ____53____ , and then enjoy the creativity of cooking while you’re at it!
____54____Sharing housework evenly can improve a couple’s marital happiness. And for parents, giving kids regular chores has several benefits. It may be a difficult task to get them to happily complete their chores but, nevertheless, doing housework and other tasks can give them higher self-belief, make them more responsible, and enable them to better deal with frustration and delayed satisfaction. ____55____ Then they build a positive circle.

B．The same goes for most fast food options

G．Dividing housework among family members leads to a better life
Being “outdoorsy” can stir up images of big beautiful national parks, snowy slopes or thick forests. ___56___. They don’t require the time, money or physical mobility of a big trip. Here are some steps you can take to get closer to nature.
Think of time in nature as a “multivitamin”—it’s best to take it every day. ___57___. If you’re spending hours staring at a computer screen, you might feel pretty exhausted afterward. But if you get breaks or even micro restorative moments by getting outside, you recover some energy to use that mental muscle so you can do things that are hard to do.
Find the people who enjoy the same activities. It takes some of the pressure off trying to explore the outdoors alone. ___58___In a world where we’re constantly flooded with images of what an “outdoorsy person” should look like, finding your people might feel like a challenge.
___59___. You can bring the outdoors into your world. We are a part of nature, and nature is a part of us-regardless of where we are.
Need a quick break from your “work screen time” for some “fun screen time” There’s a nature fix for that: Check out the Find That Lizard game on your phone, where you have to find a lizard camouflaged (伪装) in its natural environment. ___60___You can barbecue in your yard or the park, or open a window to get some fresh air.

Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes ____62____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smell leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell. ____63____ That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth.
____64____ When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food is not connected with reward in our brain and therefore has little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____65____
A．But wait a minute before you order.

Over the past century, science has made lots of advances in understanding the meanings of body language. Here are some of the most useful findings.
Open palm(手掌)
Have you noticed how someone swears to tell the truth in a court of law He usually puts one hand on a religious book and raises the other hand into the air, palm facing whoever he is speaking to. He does this because an open palm has been associated with truth and honesty throughout our history. ___71___ . So we cannot be a threat to anyone.
Finger pointing
If someone is closing their palm and pointing with their index finger, then he is trying to display power, though it doesn’t always work out. Psychologists say, the pointed finger is used like a symbolic stick with which the speaker tries to beat his listeners. ___72___ .
Forced smile
Researchers say, smile is all about the lines around the eyes. ___73___ . If he is trying to force a smile, you won’t see the lines and the facial expression tends to be very awkward. Making a genuine smile-also known as a Duchenne smile-is nearly impossible to do on command. So look for a lack of lines around the eyes to detect a forced smile.
___74___
In the same way that real smiles shape the lines around the eyes, worry, shock or fear can cause people to raise their eyebrows in discomfort. So if someone praises your new hairstyle or clothes with his eyebrows raised, he or she may not be sincere.
Crossed arms

Late-night eating has long been connected to a higher risk for obesity or overweight, which can pose all kinds of risks to your heart.
____76____ A recent study found that when meals are delayed by four hours — say eating at 10:30 PM rather than 6:30 PM and keeping all other lifestyle factors the same, people burn fewer calories, have stronger appetite, and experience changes in fat tissue that promote weight gain, according to the study’s author.
The study was rather small, featuring only 16 overweight or obese people. ____77____ In the weeks before, they maintained a regular sleep schedule and stuck to identical diets and meal times at home. Each participant reported on their hunger and appetite, and provided data needed. Besides feeling hungrier, burning fewer calories, and showing changes in fat tissue, late eating also impacted the hunger-regulating hermones (荷尔蒙) ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is the hormone that tells you when to eat, while leptin tells you when you’ve had enough. ____78____
The solution may be relatively simple. Keeping your eating schedule in line with your body’s natural clock makes sense. ____79____ It can minimize weight gain and reduce the risk for high blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors. Besides, try eating a big breakfast, slightly smaller lunch, and small dinner with healthy snacks throughout the day. ____80____ So pay attention to portion (食物的一份) sizes and what you’re eating.
A．Of course, not everyone’s natural body clock is the same.

Hybridization occurs in both plants and animals. ____87____ What’s more, many plants that people eat, from strawberries to carrots, corn and potatoes, have been created by hybridization.
Cross-breeding(杂交)sometimes occurs when animals’ normal territory overlaps(部分重叠). ____88____ The grolar bear is a hybrid that happens when grizzly and polar bears mate. As the environment warms, grizzlies in Alaska and Canada wander further north, bringing them into contact with polar bears.
Artificial mixing often happens in zoos, where different species that don’t normally meet in the wild can be introduced to each other. Ligers(lion and tiger hybrids)are unlikely to occur in nature, because the only place that their habitats overlap is the Gir Forest in India. ____89____ Mixed species are more likely to be born with health issues than other animals. Most hybrids born in zoos are infertile, which means they are unable to have babies. However, many cross-breeds born in the wild, like the grolar bear, can have their own babies.
____90____ “It’s part of the evolutionary process,” he says. Fertile hybrids can lead to the creation of a new species and increase the variety of living things.
A．Wildlife conservation is of significance.
B．Did you know hybridization is a biological process

Sara Anderson once said,” It takes great courage to faithfully follow what we know to be true.”

Moral courage is essential not only for a noble life, but a happy one. Without moral courage, we have no control over our lives. Our fears destroy our spirit and make us trapped in depression.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了 5 个建立信任的小建议，包括积极倾听、表达自己的担忧、循序渐进、不要预先假设以及适当冒险。
1．本段的小标题为“Listen with care(仔细倾听)”，因此本段主旨为倾听他人在建立信任中的重要性。联系下文“As they open up to you, you’ll feel more confident about conveying your inner thoughts in return.(当他们向你敞开心扉，你会更自信地传达你的内在想法作为回报。)”中的“in return”可以看出来这表明信任的双向特征，因此选择C选项“Trust is a two-way connection(信任是一种双向的联系)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
2．本段小标题为“Communicate your worries(表达你的担忧)”，本段主旨为跟新朋友表达自己的难处和担忧。联系下文“We subconsciously apply these to a new friendship.(我们下意识地把这些应用到一段新的友谊中。)” 中的“these”需要对应前文的复数形式的名词，D选项“Our ability to trust is influenced by our learning and experiences(我们的信任能力受到我们的学习和经验的影响)”中的“learning and experiences”对应恰当，说明了我们会下意识地将过去经历应用于新的一段友情，符合语境。故选D。
3．本段小标题为“Take your time(慢慢来)”，主旨为建立信任要慢慢来。结合后文的“After all, a trustworthy friend doesn’t push others to go all in at the very beginning. (毕竟，一个值得信赖的朋友在最开始并不会强行让他人付出全部。)”，后文中的“push”对应E选项“A milder start with new friends will make them feel more comfortable(和新朋友相处时温和一点会让他们感觉更舒服)”中的“a milder start”，相反的对照进一步说明一个温和的开始会让朋友们觉得更舒服，因此后文在进一步解释本句，符合语境。故选E。
4．对比其它小标题，应选择祈使句。本段首句为“Set aside your doubts for a while.(先把你的怀疑放在一边。)”，同时结合本段中“It can be easy to fall into a trap thinking that this new friend is going to disappoint you in some way that you’ve experienced before. (你很容易陷入一个陷阱，认为这个新朋友会以你以前经历过的某种方式让你失望。)”，表明了很容易让之前的经历让你预判这个新朋友会使你失望。因此本段主旨为不要让你过去的事情形成预设和偏见，因此选择A选项“Don’t assume(不要想当然)”符合本段的内容和结构要求。故选A。
5．本段标题为“Take a risk(冒点险)”，本段想要阐述建立信任需要迈出第一步，承担走出舒适区的风险。联系上一句的“Put yourself into a situation where you need to put a little faith into the other person.(让自己置身于需要对他人抱有一点信心的环境中。)”说明了本句需要出现“a situation”的具体场景，因此F选项的“You can book an activity to spend time together or arrange to go somewhere new(你可以预定一个活动来共度时光，或者安排去一个新的地方)”符合语境。同时，联系后一句的“Breaking the ice can be challenging, but if you both step outside of your comfort zone a little, trust will be rooted in this new friendship easily.(打破坚冰是很有挑战性的，但是如果你们都稍微走出自己的舒适区，信任就会很容易在这段新的友谊中扎根。)”中的“the ice”为特指，因此本句中需要出现具体的“the ice”，因此选择F选项“You can book an activity to spend time together or arrange to go somewhere new(你可以预定一个活动来共度时光，或者安排去一个新的地方)”跟后文的“breaking the ice”联系紧密，符合语境。故选F。

In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.(你可以强迫自己每天在你想要的时间起床，知道在过渡期间你会感到疲劳，但在几周内就会自然地开始早睡。但对于一些人来说，比如那些需要长途驾驶的人，转换到新时间表后最初几天的疲惫是不安全的。在这种情况下，马丁建议逐渐进入早起鸟的生活。她说：“我建议人们换半小时，等几天，再换半小时，等几天，然后再换半小时。”)”可知，本段主要说明了开启早起的具体方法，故D选项“有两种方法来开启你的早起之旅”符合语境，故选D。
33．根据本段内容“A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night—so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise.(固定的就寝时间并不像每天起床时间一样重要，但确保睡眠充足仍然很重要。大多数人每晚至少应该睡7个小时，所以当你过渡到新的作息时间时，你可能需要一点点地提前就寝时间。专家建议，至少在睡觉前一小时开始，减少你接触强光的时间)”可知，本段主要说明了确保晚上的睡眠充足，空处为本段小标题，应体现晚上放松来确保睡眠质量的观点。故B选项“晚上放松一下”符合语境，故选B。

(当你有数千张照片都命名为“20211108_0978234.jpg”时，几乎不可能很快找到一张照片。因此，对于照片，我喜欢为关键事件或类别设置日期结构和文件夹，例如：2021＞01（月份）＞2021-01妈妈和爸爸50周年纪念洛杉矶)”可知，本段讲述如何设置储存照片的文件夹。B项“对于照片，请为文件夹使用日期结构和关键字。”适合作本段的标题。B项中的photos在下文中得到了复现。故选B。
45．根据大标题“Use tags.(使用标记)”以及“In addition to creating a folder structure that works for you, consider tagging files.(除了创建适合您的文件夹结构外，还可以考虑标记文件)”可知，本段所给建议为标记文件。空处表明使用标记的好处。A项“使用标记，可以跨文件夹连接多个文件。”符合语境。A项中的With tags和前文中的consider tagging files想呼应。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了几种父母可以让孩子按照指令采取相应的行动的方法。
46．上文“Do you remember what it is like to be a kid (你还记得小时候作为孩子是什么样子吗 )”为问句；下文“Wake up. Get dressed. Brush your teeth. Eat your breakfast. Get in the car. Go to school. Sometimes kids listen to the instructions, but sometimes they don’t. (醒来。穿好衣服。刷牙。吃你的早餐。上车。去上学。孩子们有时会听从指示，但有时不会。)”讲述了作为孩子，一天中按照指示所做的具体事项。B项“So much of the day is directed by adults. (一天中的大部分时间都是由成年人指挥的。)”既是上文问句的回答，呼应下文的“Sometimes kids listen to the instructions, but sometimes they don’t.”。故选B。
47．上文“For at least 5 minutes a day, join your child in activities like playing with dolls-anything that doesn’t have a right or wrong way to play. Don’t ask questions or give commands.

(这给了你的孩子一个与你互动的机会，而不必有听从指示的压力，这反过来又加强了你们之间的联系。)”为上文建议的意义和好处。A项“This is your child’s time to be in charge. (这是你孩子做主的时候了。)”中“This”指代上文的建议，且与下文同为意义和好处。故选A。
48．上文“Research has shown that this kind of playtime can be helpful in treating disruptive (捣乱的) conduct in children. (研究表明，这种游戏时间有助于治疗儿童的破坏性行为。)”为研究结果，说明这种游戏时间的好处。G项“It’s also been shown to boost concentration and social skills in children. (它还被证明可以提高
