Look me in the eyes
____6____ Some people think that if others refuse to look them in the eye, they must be lying. However, in some cultures, young people are taught that it’s rude to look directly at someone older or in a position of authority so be careful not to make assumptions. Similarly, those who are lying might maintain eye contact for an unnaturally long time in an attempt to convince you that they are being truthful.
Walking tall
The way you stand can make all the difference to the way people perceive you. You may not feel especially confident before a presentation or interview so take a few moments to compose yourself both physically and mentally before entering the room. ____7____ Likewise, straightening your back and shoulders and standing with your feet firmly apart make you appear more self-confident.

Camping Tips &Tricks for a Fun Trip
Many people idealize camping trips as being this easy, effortless encounter with destinations rich with natural landscapes and nights under the stars twinkling in the sky above. ____16____ That’s why we’ve prepared the best camping tips for you!
Plan accordingly, and then plan again. When you’re out in the middle of nowhere, you have to be equipped to nature’s challenges. ____17____ Therefore, a plan for unexpected weather changes is essential to a successful camping trip. For example, consider packing extra suppliers like blankets. While that might seem like a huge inconvenience, the biggest and real issue occurs when you need something you don’t have.
Know what you need. ____18____ Not all beginner campers will need the top-of-the-line, latest supplies. But you should have at least the basics! That includes a decent tent with enough room for people camping with you, a good sleeping bag appropriate for the season, and other supplies like food and water. You’d better create a convenient checklist that lays out everything that you should consider.
____19____ When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations, and emergency rooms, you should always remember that safety is your first priority! ____20____ A first aid kit is a great starting point, but it’s certainly not the end of maximizing your safety efforts. Depending on where you plan to camp, you’ll want to grab these items that cover you in most emergency situations: a pocket knife, a fire starter, and a safety whistle.

Think of time in nature as a “multivitamin”—it’s best to take it every day. ___22___. 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. ___23___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.
___24___. 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. ___25___You can barbecue in your yard or the park, or open a window to get some fresh air.

The Health Benefits of Music

It improves the cardiovascular (心血管的) health. Good music may just help your heart to be healthier. ____27____ One study found that music reduced the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in people’s systems, and reduced blood pressure.
____28____ If you’re looking to take your exercise performance to the next level you may want to consider doing it with the help of music. Studies have found listening to music as you exercise improves endurance, productivity, power, and strength. If you’ve ever wondered why professional athletes don’t listen to music during a race, it’s because they aren’t allowed to— for this very reason!
It boosts your immune system. With cold and flu season on the horizon, you may want to make sure you’ve got all your favorite songs downloaded. ____29____
It helps you sleep better. ____30____ A study showed that students who listened to relaxing classical music for 45 minutes before turning in slept significantly better than before. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try listening to a little soft music before bedtime.
It’s safe to say the next time you need a little pick-me-up, turning on your favorite tune is the smartest option—and the healthiest, too!

Traveling is what makes your life complete. You may often complain that there is too much work and no time to travel. ___31___There are hundreds of reasons why you should travel. Here are only four of them:
___32___
Be spontaneous (自发的) and travel whenever you feel like leaving your daily routine. It is wrong to wait for certain time of the year so that you could spoil yourself.
Your company won’t be bankrupt or disappear if you leave it for a week or two.
There are plenty of people who can substitute for you and do your job while you are away. ___33___Here the point is to plan a week ahead. If you work hard, you can play hard. Always remember that the quality of your work will improve if you have a good rest and let yourself relax and recharge with energy and positive emotions.
You cannot be a good employee if you are unhappy and tense.
Your family suffers, too. When your mind is free you can perform at 200 percent. ___34___ You lose balance and harmony if you experience too much stress, perform a lot of demanding routine and constantly take responsibilities. Take care of yourself. Make sure that your well-being does not suffer.
Have a richer life if you want to be a better leader.
We all want to excel in our profession. We want to be in charge even at home. We like to be appreciated by the community. Being such a person requires several important qualities. To gain the required qualities you must have a multi-dimensional personality. The more new activities you practice, the more chances you can have to become a better leader. ___35___
A．Making excuses is much easier than acting.
B．There is no tomorrow, so take a break now.

Habits are something that is deeply rooted in our behavior.___37___ Similarly, starting up a good habit is going to take a lot of work and conditioning. If you try to take on too much at once, you are probably setting yourself up for failure. So focus on just one good habit for now and move on to the others later.
While your goal may be to end up doing something every day (like exercising), it’s unlikely that you’re going to be able to reach that goal right from the start. It’s going to take time and willpower to condition yourself. ___38___ Start building up that good habit gradually for a more successful habit forming.
___39___ If you can set a different goal each week or so, you can motivate yourself without getting upset. Try exercising just two or three days the first week, then set a slightly higher goal for the next week, and so on. As you get more used to the act of exercising during the day, it’ll become easier for you to work toward your end goal of working out every day. ___40___ The more consistently you can stick with it, the more you’ll want to keep going.
A．Once you do, keep it up.
B．You are expected to start small.
C．It is important to set goals for yourself.
D．This is why quitting a bad habit is so hard.
E．You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
F．Thus, don’t beat yourself up if you miss days at the beginning.
G．Considering this, it’s better to wait until your life is in order before starting.

Nineteen-year-old Andrew Makhoul was a communications major at the University of Pennsylvania. It was coming up to spring break, but unlike his classmates, Makhoul wasn’t planning on spending the break relaxing. ____42____
He traveled to Guatemala. He went to an orphanage in one of the most violent and poor parts of Guatemala City. It depends upon volunteers to stay open. Although he didn’t speak much Spanish, he found communication wasn’t a problem: ____43____ And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”
Makhoul’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back in the future.
____44____ The UN highlighted the case of Palestinian women who are survivors of breast cancer. As part of the UN’s Aid and Hope Programme for Patient Care, the women have been volunteering their time to create low-cost breast prosthetics (假体) to be distributed to women for free, among whom Shahd El-Swerki is a brilliant example. ____45____ By the end of her time there, she admired these women who are “not only survivors but also volunteers”.

Clear

Bucket lists have been called “the greatest hits of your life” and have helped some people get over anxiety to follow their dreams. Some of us may choose to write one to fill our life with new experiences, from skydiving to swimming with sharks. ____57____
This is something the BBC radio programme “All in the Mind” has been looking at. It heard from a blogger called Julie, who said she made a promise to live her bucket list. ____58____ Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help plan your life and give you focus.
____59____ But some people have argued it can be used as a strategy to try to control something that is actually uncontrollable. Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that she was “not really in favour of bucket lists, which take you away from the natural chances.”
It’s probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else’s idea. But why not at least dream of what we would like to do ____60____ Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we should have our dreams.

1. Credit is important, so use it responsibly
____62____ During your first few weeks on campus, you will likely be surrounded with credit card booths and seemingly friendly salespeople. Don’t be tempted to open a credit card just because they tell you it’s cool to do it. ____63____ Ask the salespeople to explain the fine print (附加条款) to you and look for a card with no annual fee, good rewards, and of course — a reasonable interest rate. If they tell you that the offer is only good for that day, just do yourself a favor and walk away.
2.____64____
My best money tip is to start now saving small and gradually increase. The easiest way to start is to save all your coins and deposit every week into a savings account with no ATM card. This seemingly insignificant amount adds up over time and starts the habit of saving.

Know What’s Important
To manage our time effectively, each of us has to have a clear picture of our personal principles and core values. We need to invest the precious resource of our time in the things that are important to us. That may sound self-centered, but it’s only self-centered if all of our core values are self-centered. ____67____ .
Schedule What’s Important
On a daily or weekly basis, making a “to do” list and scheduling time helps ensure that the important tasks will be completed. ____68____ . In this situation we have to say “no” or “not now” to other’s requests. However, we’d better schedule what’s important first and then try to get to the less important tasks in our remaining time. In this way, we increase the chances that we will accomplish what’s really important.
____69____

___72___ That is what Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy said. He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly reluctant to follow the herd. ___73___ And it is a good way to vacation. According to data from online travel agencies, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more authentic experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. ___74___
COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak. ___75___

Building connection and friendship with other people is a necessary part of being human. There are ways to help you make new friends, as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.
Accept the awkwardness (尴尬) and assume that other people need new friends, too. ____76____When you reach out to somebody you don’t know well — whether that’s sending the first text message or making small talk in the elevator — you often feel uncertain. You have to accept that awkward silence and the uneasiness it may bring, because you can’t have friends without getting awkward.
Remember that people will like you more than you think
When you are moving through the world, don’t forget that human connection is yours for the taking.____77____
Take up activities that you love
Ask anyone about how to make friends and they will most likely tell you to try a new hobby.____78____Do the things you’re interested in and you will naturally draw people to you, and you’ll naturally connect with other people because you’ll be in the right place.
It’s OK to treat friendships seriously
Having friends is one of the most nourishing (滋养的) parts of being alive, so it’s not strange or bad or wrong to prioritize (优先考虑) it. Get comfortable putting yourself out there a little bit.____79____It’s what all the cool kids are doing.

You have the same fights over and over.
Your fights are about the same topic again and again. If this is happening, it means you don’t yet have the skills to resolve conflicts._______83_______The fight may end, but it’s only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again. When you learn how to resolve conflicts, issues don’t pile up or become baggage that weighs down your relationship.
_______84_______

Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending.
You regularly feel misunderstood or unheard.

Traveling in the same car with several people is an excellent idea, which allows one to save on fuel. In the past, few of us would go to the company or work place together. ____86____We share a car every day with people whom we do not know anything about. We just need to connect to the Internet or use a mobile app to find the perfect transport for us.
____87____It makes practical sense to use tools at our hands to connect with people who would like to share cars together. Tools like mobile apps help contribute to sharing options.
Undoubtedly, carpooling (拼车) is an excellent option to save some money. It also adjusts our monthly budget for other activities, but the truth is that this type of transport is also much better suited to improve the traffic conditions of cities. ____88____
Practically speaking many times, we see heavy traffic but upon further finding we would see many cars with only one passenger in it. Rather than being alone in a heavy traffic situation, why not have passengers ____89____ At the same time, you can also have amazing conversations.
Spending on transportation is part of what we consider to be fixed expenses in a family, whether to move to work, to study or simply because we live in areas far away from the large urban centers.

Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive. We seem to have an inborn instinct(本能) to remember routes, so we can navigate our local environments safely. ___91___Ever since we lived in groups, us humans have needed to know who’s “part of the group”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe. And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our wellbeing at risk. A recent research study showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.
In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have COVID．And guess what ___92___None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritised them, locking in the information for later—just in case it could keep them safe.
_____93_____When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to
______94______Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look—and smell! Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a much better chance of remembering to buy what you need.
Maybe you have to visit the library before it closes. To refresh your memory, visualise the library tables piled high with all the foods you absolutely hate. See if your instinct for self-protection keeps the library in your thoughts more than normally!
And how about learning the password for your credit card by imagining that only the correct buttons on the ATM are safe The first time you type the password, pretend that all the other keys are covered in deadly germs. ______95______
Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! But when your memory needs a boost a small bit of disgust can be very healthy for your recall.
A．Make use of your drive to survive.
B．And it’s what you can use to your advantage.
C．Keep the “dangerous” pattern on your memory.
D．We’re also naturally talented at recognising faces.
E．Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills.
F．Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list
G．Those “infected” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall.
The post-vacation syndrome (综合症) affects the majority of students. ___96___ Symptoms can last a few days, a week, or up to 15 days. Here are some tips that will help you manage it.
Ease into your schedule
After a long vacation, it is necessary to plan the schedule. The ideal is to fulfill your schedule 100%, but you must be realistic: be flexible during the first weeks and do not arrange your schedule too tight. ___97___
Start with small goals
Starting with small tasks will allow you to achieve small objectives and gain satisfaction with what has been completed. Always, now more than ever, it’s important to break down big goals into small daily or weekly goals to motivate you to keep going.
Make your space free from distractions
___98___ Rearrange your study area, put it in order, and avoid wasting hours on mobile phones. Remember that, after a distraction, it takes us an average of 25 minutes to refocus on what we were doing.
Maintain leisure activities
Experts recommend not to return suddenly to studies but to do it a few days before to adapt schedules, routines and even diet. During the first days, it will also help you to maintain some leisure activities. ___99___
Rest to be more productive
It is likely that, during your vacations, you have slept in a disorderly way: some days little and other days more than 12 hours. To get back into the routine, you need to get back to sleep in an orderly and sufficient way. ___100___ Sleeping 8 hours a day will help you improve your attention and concentration and consolidate (巩固) the knowledge acquired during the day.

Wonderful views from the mountains, breath-taking places waiting to explore, fresh air, as well as all the special health benefits, are the main rewards of mountain hiking. ____1____
You need to train your lower body muscles, anytime and anywhere. Strong legs and core muscles will improve your balance and help you hike longer. Focus on your lower body strength and on your cardiovascular (心血管的) workout. ____2____ You really can train anywhere: use your backyard, living room, or bedroom to keep your body ready for the true conditions in the mountains.
You will need a stronger back. Who’s going to carry your backpack ____3____ So we are quite sure what the true answer is. Develop back-muscles with exercises like V-ups, deadlifts, diver push-ups, and exercise named “mountain climbers”: Start in a traditional plank (平板支撑) position and then bring your knee forward under your chest. You will start to feel your abs (腹肌) for sure, too.
____4____ Even Rome wasn’t built in a day so give yourself the pleasure to enjoy discovering what your body is capable of! All the perfect benefits will improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, helping you strengthen your core, and even help you control your weight as an additional benefit. ____5____ Just don’t forget to stretch after each training.
Please remember that your training for mountain hiking should be combined with real hiking. And don’t miss the other clues on what to do for mountaineering training!
A．Give yourself and your body time to prepare.
B．And don’t rely just on gyms or other similar areas.

Body Language can Improve Your Presentation
When preparing for an important job interview or presentation, you might worry about finding the perfect words or the most impressive graphics for your slides. While it’s important to use words and visuals effectively, don’t make the mistake of ignoring the messages your body is sending.
Look me in the eyes
____6____ Some people think that if others refuse to look them in the eye, they must be lying. However, in some cultures, young people are taught that it’s rude to look directly at someone older or in a position of authority so be careful not to make assumptions. Similarly, those who are lying might maintain eye contact for an unnaturally long time in an attempt to convince you that they are being truthful.
Walking tall
The way you stand can make all the difference to the way people perceive you. You may not feel especially confident before a presentation or interview so take a few moments to compose yourself both physically and mentally before entering the room. ____7____ Likewise, straightening your back and shoulders and standing with your feet firmly apart make you appear more self-confident. Good posture also releases hormones into your body which reinforce the impression that you are in control and know what you are talking about.
____8____
Another common protective gesture is folded arms. They literally form a barrier between people and you might find yourself doing it when you feel nervous or uncomfortable. You should certainly avoid folding your arms when speaking in public. ____9____ If they are watching you with crossed arms, don’t panic. There could be a number of reasons for this; they might be cold or simply want to comfort themselves because they are feeling anxious or uneasy. One way of removing this “barrier” between you and them is to ask for a show of hands. ____10____

C．Eye contact, or lack of it, can be misleading.

G．This activity involves them in your talk by getting them to participate and make decisions.

Camping Tips &Tricks for a Fun Trip
Many people idealize camping trips as being this easy, effortless encounter with destinations rich with natural landscapes and nights under the stars twinkling in the sky above. ____16____ That’s why we’ve prepared the best camping tips for you!
Plan accordingly, and then plan again. When you’re out in the middle of nowhere, you have to be equipped to nature’s challenges. ____17____ Therefore, a plan for unexpected weather changes is essential to a successful camping trip. For example, consider packing extra suppliers like blankets. While that might seem like a huge inconvenience, the biggest and real issue occurs when you need something you don’t have.
Know what you need. ____18____ Not all beginner campers will need the top-of-the-line, latest supplies. But you should have at least the basics! That includes a decent tent with enough room for people camping with you, a good sleeping bag appropriate for the season, and other supplies like food and water. You’d better create a convenient checklist that lays out everything that you should consider.
____19____ When you’re far away from the major conveniences we rely upon like an urgent care center, police stations, and emergency rooms, you should always remember that safety is your first priority! ____20____ A first aid kit is a great starting point, but it’s certainly not the end of maximizing your safety efforts. Depending on where you plan to camp, you’ll want to grab these items that cover you in most emergency situations: a pocket knife, a fire starter, and a safety whistle.
Ready to go camping Now you know what to expect and how to prepare for your next camping trip, so you actually have fun—rain or shine!
A．Always choose a safe campsite.
B．Never leave home without safety in mind.
C．We encourage you to create a safety supply kit.
D．Camping doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
E．A clear 3-day forecast can easily shift into a sudden heavy rain.
F．To maximize your comfort, always bring appropriate clothes for cold and rain.
G．But for beginner campers, those expectations can rapidly turn into a mess of reality.
Being “outdoorsy” can stir up images of big beautiful national parks, snowy slopes or thick forests. ___21___. 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. ___22___. 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. ___23___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.
___24___. 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. ___25___You can barbecue in your yard or the park, or open a window to get some fresh air. These are great options if you’re living in a city, or if you’re on a budget.
A．Trying to get off screens
B．Needing a low-budget outdoor break
C．So nature is actually what you need to function well.
D．But smaller moments in nature have been just as valuable.
E．It’s also an important way to stay safe in more remote areas.

G．Remember, you don’t have to be outdoors to experience nature.
The Health Benefits of Music
Music can have a big impact on your mental health. ____26____ But it can actually do more than just change your state of mind—music has an impact on you physically, too. Here are just a few of the transformative effects of music on your health!
It improves the cardiovascular (心血管的) health. Good music may just help your heart to be healthier. ____27____ One study found that music reduced the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in people’s systems, and reduced blood pressure.
____28____ If you’re looking to take your exercise performance to the next level you may want to consider doing it with the help of music. Studies have found listening to music as you exercise improves endurance, productivity, power, and strength. If you’ve ever wondered why professional athletes don’t listen to music during a race, it’s because they aren’t allowed to— for this very reason!
It boosts your immune system. With cold and flu season on the horizon, you may want to make sure you’ve got all your favorite songs downloaded. ____29____
It helps you sleep better. ____30____ A study showed that students who listened to relaxing classical music for 45 minutes before turning in slept significantly better than before. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try listening to a little soft music before bedtime.
It’s safe to say the next time you need a little pick-me-up, turning on your favorite tune is the smartest option—and the healthiest, too!
A．It enhances your performance.
B．It might help improve your creativity.
C．Over 30% of Americans suffer from poor sleep.
D．There has been a link found between heart health and classical music.
E．It can make you relaxed, increase your focus and help you deal with stress.
F．Some studies have found that music can change how people look at their lives.
G．Studies have found that listening to music helps to prevent infection and illness.
Traveling is what makes your life complete. You may often complain that there is too much work and no time to travel. ___31___There are hundreds of reasons why you should travel. Here are only four of them:
___32___
Be spontaneous (自发的) and travel whenever you feel like leaving your daily routine. It is wrong to wait for certain time of the year so that you could spoil yourself.
Your company won’t be bankrupt or disappear if you leave it for a week or two.
There are plenty of people who can substitute for you and do your job while you are away. ___33___Here the point is to plan a week ahead. If you work hard, you can play hard. Always remember that the quality of your work will improve if you have a good rest and let yourself relax and recharge with energy and positive emotions.
You cannot be a good employee if you are unhappy and tense.
Your family suffers, too. When your mind is free you can perform at 200 percent. ___34___ You lose balance and harmony if you experience too much stress, perform a lot of demanding routine and constantly take responsibilities. Take care of yourself. Make sure that your well-being does not suffer.
Have a richer life if you want to be a better leader.
We all want to excel in our profession. We want to be in charge even at home. We like to be appreciated by the community. Being such a person requires several important qualities. To gain the required qualities you must have a multi-dimensional personality. The more new activities you practice, the more chances you can have to become a better leader. ___35___
A．Making excuses is much easier than acting.
B．There is no tomorrow, so take a break now.
C．Finding balance isn’t easy, yet it is worth trying.
D．Traveling is also a means of broadening your horizons.
E．You can do some of it in advance or you can put it on hold.
F．You are useless as a worker if your body does not feel great.
G．Be an instructor, inspire others and do what you would like others to do.
Although the “no better time than now” idea makes some sense when it comes to forming good habits, the fact of the matter is that your willpower is limited. ___36___ If stressed, or otherwise not in a normal daily routine, you’ll find it much harder to keep up with a good habit.
Habits are something that is deeply rooted in our behavior.___37___ Similarly, starting up a good habit is going to take a lot of work and conditioning. If you try to take on too much at once, you are probably setting yourself up for failure. So focus on just one good habit for now and move on to the others later.
While your goal may be to end up doing something every day (like exercising), it’s unlikely that you’re going to be able to reach that goal right from the start. It’s going to take time and willpower to condition yourself. ___38___ Start building up that good habit gradually for a more successful habit forming.
___39___ If you can set a different goal each week or so, you can motivate yourself without getting upset. Try exercising just two or three days the first week, then set a slightly higher goal for the next week, and so on. As you get more used to the act of exercising during the day, it’ll become easier for you to work toward your end goal of working out every day. ___40___ The more consistently you can stick with it, the more you’ll want to keep going.
A．Once you do, keep it up.
B．You are expected to start small.
C．It is important to set goals for yourself.
D．This is why quitting a bad habit is so hard.
E．You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
F．Thus, don’t beat yourself up if you miss days at the beginning.
G．Considering this, it’s better to wait until your life is in order before starting.
Helen Keller once wrote, “The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.” ____41____ The UN has set December 5 as International Volunteers Day to give recognition to these people.
Nineteen-year-old Andrew Makhoul was a communications major at the University of Pennsylvania. It was coming up to spring break, but unlike his classmates, Makhoul wasn’t planning on spending the break relaxing. ____42____
He traveled to Guatemala. He went to an orphanage in one of the most violent and poor parts of Guatemala City. It depends upon volunteers to stay open. Although he didn’t speak much Spanish, he found communication wasn’t a problem: ____43____ And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”
Makhoul’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back in the future.
____44____ The UN highlighted the case of Palestinian women who are survivors of breast cancer. As part of the UN’s Aid and Hope Programme for Patient Care, the women have been volunteering their time to create low-cost breast prosthetics (假体) to be distributed to women for free, among whom Shahd El-Swerki is a brilliant example. ____45____ By the end of her time there, she admired these women who are “not only survivors but also volunteers”.

Here are some inexpensive ways to get you started.
Clear
The first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clear.___52___. There is no way to turn a cluttered (杂乱的) space into an inviting one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clear. You don’t have to throw out everything—clearing can be an ongoing process that takes time, and that’s okay.
Add Greenery
___53___. Aside from the eye-pleasing effect plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins (毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn’t enough for you, they tend to help calm people down.
Try Darker Colors
Another thing you can do to make a room look warmer is to use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create more of a cozy and inviting feeling.___54___.
Adjust the Lighting
Last, but certainly not least, is lighting. The lighting in a room can make or break it, depending on how you go about it.___55___.

Life is for living according to the well-used expression. Sometimes what we wish to do is not completely up to us. ____56____ Many of us write a list of things we’d like to do before we leave this world—often called a bucket list (人生愿望清单).
Bucket lists have been called “the greatest hits of your life” and have helped some people get over anxiety to follow their dreams. Some of us may choose to write one to fill our life with new experiences, from skydiving to swimming with sharks. ____57____
This is something the BBC radio programme “All in the Mind” has been looking at. It heard from a blogger called Julie, who said she made a promise to live her bucket list. ____58____ Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help plan your life and give you focus.
____59____ But some people have argued it can be used as a strategy to try to control something that is actually uncontrollable. Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that she was “not really in favour of bucket lists, which take you away from the natural chances.”
It’s probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else’s idea. But why not at least dream of what we would like to do ____60____ Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we should have our dreams.
A．The list can sometimes be crazy.

With college starting for freshmen across the country, now is the time to be thinking about money. Why Because for many freshmen, this will really be their first time handling money on their own. ____61____ Here are three of the most important choices, and some amazing tips to go with them.
1. Credit is important, so use it responsibly
____62____ During your first few weeks on campus, you will likely be surrounded with credit card booths and seemingly friendly salespeople. Don’t be tempted to open a credit card just because they tell you it’s cool to do it. ____63____ Ask the salespeople to explain the fine print (附加条款) to you and look for a card with no annual fee, good rewards, and of course — a reasonable interest rate. If they tell you that the offer is only good for that day, just do yourself a favor and walk away.
2.____64____
My best money tip is to start now saving small and gradually increase. The easiest way to start is to save all your coins and deposit every week into a savings account with no ATM card. This seemingly insignificant amount adds up over time and starts the habit of saving.
3. Get a job, but a flexible one.
Getting a job in college is important. ____65____ There are many on-campus jobs out there that allow you to sit down and have limited interactions/responsibilities. Some of these include checking student IDs at a gym or cafeteria, managing a resource center.

B．Building credit is important, and so is opening your first credit card.
C．Remember why you’re in college — networking for your future career.

F．These types of work arrangements allow you to make money while also being productive.
G．They will have to pay bills, handle budgets and be faced with financial choices.
Effective time management doesn’t mean doing more things or doing them more quickly. Effective time management means getting more of the important work done in a day, not about getting all work done. In fact ____66____.
Know What’s Important
To manage our time effectively, each of us has to have a clear picture of our personal principles and core values. We need to invest the precious resource of our time in the things that are important to us. That may sound self-centered, but it’s only self-centered if all of our core values are self-centered. ____67____ .
Schedule What’s Important
On a daily or weekly basis, making a “to do” list and scheduling time helps ensure that the important tasks will be completed. ____68____ . In this situation we have to say “no” or “not now” to other’s requests. However, we’d better schedule what’s important first and then try to get to the less important tasks in our remaining time. In this way, we increase the chances that we will accomplish what’s really important.
____69____
There are times of the day when we are most productive, when we are most creative, and when we can be relatively free from the distractions of the world around us. We should identify those times and schedule accordingly. Schedule your most important tasks in the best times for you to do them.
Motivational Tips

More people get off the beaten track for relaxing break
Going against the tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences. ___71___
___72___ That is what Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy said. He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly reluctant to follow the herd. ___73___ And it is a good way to vacation. According to data from online travel agencies, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more authentic experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. ___74___
COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak. ___75___
The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market.
A．The trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves.
B．Tourism used to be about sightseeing but now it is about experiences.
C．Some of them are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days.
D．Reverse tourism has emerged as a new trend; especially: among young holidaymakers in China.
E．During the week-long public holiday, large numbers of vacationers long to escape their busy city life.

G．And unlike popular destinations, some under-explored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises.
Building connection and friendship with other people is a necessary part of being human. There are ways to help you make new friends, as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.
Accept the awkwardness (尴尬) and assume that other people need new friends, too. ____76____When you reach out to somebody you don’t know well — whether that’s sending the first text message or making small talk in the elevator — you often feel uncertain. You have to accept that awkward silence and the uneasiness it may bring, because you can’t have friends without getting awkward.
Remember that people will like you more than you think

People are taught how to speak, but good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary words won’t always lead to being understood or understanding others._______81_______
The good news is that it’s never too late to learn how to communicate more effectively. The first step is to realize you’ re having communication issues._______82_______The following is a list of the top three signs that you need to learn healthier communication skills.
You have the same fights over and over.
Your fights are about the same topic again and again. If this is happening, it means you don’t yet have the skills to resolve conflicts._______83_______The fight may end, but it’s only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again. When you learn how to resolve conflicts, issues don’t pile up or become baggage that weighs down your relationship.
_______84_______
You don’t want to fight so you try not to bring up subjects that lead only to pain and disconnection. The problem is that avoiding them leads to pain and disconnection anyway. Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending.
You regularly feel misunderstood or unheard.
No matter how hard you try, you don’t feel understood. Perhaps your partner has expressed the same feeling.Over time the disconnected feeling does damage to your relationship. It’s important to learn how to communicate in a better way, so that both you and the other person feel heard and understood._______85_______To be heard, your partner will need to learn how to listen. For you, to be able to hear your partner, you will need to do the same.

G．Effective communication requires much more than being able to speak.
Traveling in the same car with several people is an excellent idea, which allows one to save on fuel. In the past, few of us would go to the company or work place together. ____86____We share a car every day with people whom we do not know anything about. We just need to connect to the Internet or use a mobile app to find the perfect transport for us.
____87____It makes practical sense to use tools at our hands to connect with people who would like to share cars together. Tools like mobile apps help contribute to sharing options.
Undoubtedly, carpooling (拼车) is an excellent option to save some money. It also adjusts our monthly budget for other activities, but the truth is that this type of transport is also much better suited to improve the traffic conditions of cities. ____88____
Practically speaking many times, we see heavy traffic but upon further finding we would see many cars with only one passenger in it. Rather than being alone in a heavy traffic situation, why not have passengers ____89____ At the same time, you can also have amazing conversations.
Spending on transportation is part of what we consider to be fixed expenses in a family, whether to move to work, to study or simply because we live in areas far away from the large urban centers.
____90____ It’s specially fit for those who want to spend less on fuel or would love to have an eco-friendly approach for the environment.

Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive. We seem to have an inborn instinct(本能) to remember routes, so we can navigate our local environments safely. ___91___Ever since we lived in groups, us humans have needed to know who’s “part of the group”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe. And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our wellbeing at risk. A recent research study showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.
In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have COVID．And guess what ___92___None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritised them, locking in the information for later—just in case it could keep them safe.
_____93_____When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to
______94______Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look—and smell! Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a much better chance of remembering to buy what you need.
Maybe you have to visit the library before it closes. To refresh your memory, visualise the library tables piled high with all the foods you absolutely hate. See if your instinct for self-protection keeps the library in your thoughts more than normally!
And how about learning the password for your credit card by imagining that only the correct buttons on the ATM are safe The first time you type the password, pretend that all the other keys are covered in deadly germs. ______95______
Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! But when your memory needs a boost a small bit of disgust can be very healthy for your recall.
A．Make use of your drive to survive.
B．And it’s what you can use to your advantage.
C．Keep the “dangerous” pattern on your memory.
D．We’re also naturally talented at recognising faces.
E．Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills.
F．Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list
G．Those “infected” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall.
The post-vacation syndrome (综合症) affects the majority of students. ___96___ Symptoms can last a few days, a week, or up to 15 days. Here are some tips that will help you manage it.
Ease into your schedule
After a long vacation, it is necessary to plan the schedule. The ideal is to fulfill your schedule 100%, but you must be realistic: be flexible during the first weeks and do not arrange your schedule too tight. ___97___
Start with small goals
Starting with small tasks will allow you to achieve small objectives and gain satisfaction with what has been completed. Always, now more than ever, it’s important to break down big goals into small daily or weekly goals to motivate you to keep going.
Make your space free from distractions
___98___ Rearrange your study area, put it in order, and avoid wasting hours on mobile phones. Remember that, after a distraction, it takes us an average of 25 minutes to refocus on what we were doing.
Maintain leisure activities
Experts recommend not to return suddenly to studies but to do it a few days before to adapt schedules, routines and even diet. During the first days, it will also help you to maintain some leisure activities. ___99___
Rest to be more productive
