The children want to be on the receiving end of kindness but have trouble ____224____ (hand) it out. On a daily basis, they ____225____ (trip) up by three obstacles: lack of impulse control, thoughtlessness, and difficulty with forgiveness, or letting things go.
The episode reminds me of the well-known Henry James quote: “Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.” I think of these words when I’m with my kids, or just being a human in our world, struggling to understand ____226____ kindness is learned or innate (与生俱来的), or a little bit of both. Shortly after last year’s election, I bought a book called On Kindness. The authors also present a tour of kindness through the ages, from the Stoics through today, ____227____yields one surprising truth: kindness, which seems immutable (永恒不变的) a part of the human experience as love or hate, joy or sorrow, is subject to cultural shifts, ____228____(govern) by the thinking and mood of the age.
Published back in 2009, On Kindness ends on something of a down note when it gets to our modern times. In our striving for success, we have become so individualistic, too selfish, loath to admit that we are dependent on anyone, which brings me back to my eldest son. Twenty-two years old, he is all too aware of what gets lost in growing up, and so he wrestles daily with how to promote and sustain a feeling of kindness in his classroom, for these children who are our future. His students are extremely sympathetic when one of ____229____ peers is upset. “They are very good at comforting each other,” my son recently told me. “But it’s like they _____230_____ destroy each other first.”

Boost your energy
People regularly feel worn out from working, shuttling kids to school and taking care of housework. But once in a while the weariness can quickly turn into full-on exhaustion. Doctors even have a name for it: “tired all the time,” or TATT for short.
The solution isn’t always as simple as getting more sleep ______11______ nearly a quarter of people who get seven or more hours of rest a night report that they still wake up feeling tired most days.
Doing something active when you’re feeling inactive will increase your energy, not consume the little that you have. In fact, researchers at the University of Georgia found that just ten minutes of low—or moderate-intensity exercise gave study participants a noticeable energy boost. Exercise also works its magic at the cellular level: The mitochondria—the parts of cells that provide energy to muscles—grow ______12______ (powerful) after aerobic exercise, providing a continuous source of increased energy.
Getting more exercise isn’t the only defense ______13______ TATT syndrome (综合症). “To stay ______14______ (energize) over the day, you need a 15-to-20-minute break every 90 minutes.” says Dane Jensen, CEO of Third Factor, a coaching company. Jensen suggests ______15______ (choose) breaks from four complementary categories: physical (walking or stretching), cognitive (doing crossword puzzles), emotional (phoning a loved one), and spiritual (walking in the woods or meditation). Do it intentionally and spend that time on something ______16______ is actually going to give you energy.
What you eat ______17______ also affect your energy levels. Consuming too many simple carbohydrates (碳水化合物) — for instance, juice, candy bars, and white bread—leads to an increase in blood sugar, prompting your body to produce insulin, making your blood sugar drop. Instead, ______18______ (reach) for complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and vegetables, which are digested more slowly and give you a steady stream of energy.

But here's the thing about courage: It doesn’t just appear whenever we need it. It’s the result of tough ____20____ (consider) and real work, involving the balance ____21____ fear and bravery.

A few weeks ago, my eldest son, who is in his first year teaching fourth grade in a public elementary school, ____221____ (decide) to put a suggestion box in his classroom, though he wasn’t quite sure ____222____ the box would yield. The result was not so much suggestions as appeals ____223____ kindness. From “Lots of people don’t mind their own business” to “I am stressed out because everybody keeps arguing about little things,” there was a class-wide desire for compassion, even if there is no clear sense of how to get it.
As a new teacher, my son is routinely surprised by things his 9-year-old students do, but more than anything he is surprised by how badly they treat one another. The children want to be on the receiving end of kindness but have trouble ____224____ (hand) it out. On a daily basis, they ____225____ (trip) up by three obstacles: lack of impulse control, thoughtlessness, and difficulty with forgiveness, or letting things go.
The episode reminds me of the well-known Henry James quote: “Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.” I think of these words when I’m with my kids, or just being a human in our world, struggling to understand ____226____ kindness is learned or innate (与生俱来的), or a little bit of both.

Published back in 2009, On Kindness ends on something of a down note when it gets to our modern times. In our striving for success, we have become so individualistic, too selfish, loath to admit that we are dependent on anyone, which brings me back to my eldest son. Twenty-two years old, he is all too aware of what gets lost in growing up, and so he wrestles daily with how to promote and sustain a feeling of kindness in his classroom, for these children who are our future. His students are extremely sympathetic when one of ____229____ peers is upset. “They are very good at comforting each other,” my son recently told me. “But it’s like they _____230_____ destroy each other first.”
