Museums can be overwhelming. With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it Here is some advice on how to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.
Get up close and personal.____1____ Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.
Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece ____2____ What are they doing How are they related
Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. ____3____ That’s called anamorphic art.
Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. ____4____ This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.
Consider the subject of the art. That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work-and perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination.____5____
A．So just keep an open mind.
B．What have they gone through
C．When you stand to the side, it changes.

There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. ___7___
It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. ___8___ It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.
___9___ That is camping in a national park under a star-filled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.
When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world comes alive at night and is waiting to be explored. ___10___

The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.
Stop comparing yourself to others
People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an undeclared competition with the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always someone out there who has more of what you desire.

____24____Especially for young people, it can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction. If your teen knows he’s allowed one hour on YouTube at 7 p.m., then he can relax without thinking about when he’ll be able to hop on his favorite app.
____25____Tech companies, schools, social institutions and governments all have a responsibility to help reset standards of technology use.

Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. ____56____ But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.

A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. ____57____ Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.

Have fun. ____60____ Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window.

____61____ “From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab, those performing an act of kindness consistently underestimated how positive their receivers would feel, thinking their act was of less value than receivers perceived it to be,” states a study.
____62____ Yet, why is there this difference between what we think someone will feel from an act of kindness versus what they do feel Why do we underestimate the impact we have on others
Many of us don’t have a real sense of our value. It’s been estimated that as many as 85 percent of people struggle with low self-esteem. ____63____ This “voice” tends to shift our focus inward assessing our every move, and having bad effect on our relationships.
Unlike a conscience(良心), this inner critic doesn’t motivate positive behavior. ____64____ It encourages us to hold back feeding us thoughts like, “Don’t stick your neck out”: “No one wants to hear from you”; and “You’re going to make a fool of yourself.”
One wonderful way to fight against our critical inner voice is through acts of being kind to others. ____65____ We must also try to see ourselves through the eyes of the people we affect.

I believe almost everyone would like two things from their jobs and careers: success and happiness. They want to do relatively well financially, receive fair recognition for their accomplishments, enjoy their work as much as one can, and become happier as a person as a result. So many people, especially ambitious, hard-working people, simplify them in a logical way: They first seek success and then assume that success will lead to happiness. ____66____. Chasing success has costs that can end up lowering happiness.
This is not to say that you have to choose between success and happiness. ____67____. But you have to reverse (颠倒) the order of operations: Instead of trying first to get success and hoping it leads to happiness, start by working on your happiness, which will enhance your success.
Whether you are an employee or employer, it is a better investment to increase happiness at work and in life, rather than simply trying to increase measures of success.
____68____. No matter how much you enjoy your work, overwork will become an obstruction (阻碍) to well-being.
Once work quantity is under control, happiness at work requires a sense of meaning and purpose. ____69____. Earned success implies a sense of accomplishment and recognition for a job well done, while service to others requires knowledge of the real people who benefit from your work.
Ultimately, although success and happiness are linked, the magic mostly works one-way — and not in the way that most people think. ____70____, and may lead you to unhappiness. But working on your happiness. gives you the best chance at getting both.

Dr. Michelle Newman, director of the Laboratory for Anxiety and Depression Research at Pennsylvania State University, presents some characteristics of out-of-control worrying, like focusing on things over which you have no control, or which have a low probability of happening, and “catastrophizing” them. Worrying about a loved one who’s driving and picturing the horrible consequences of an accident is one example. ___87___
Constant worrying and anxiety can increase your blood pressure and heart rate, which has been linked to a higher risk for cardiovascular (心脏血管的) diseases.

___88___ “Mostly worrying becomes a process to itself that doesn’t lead to problem solving or helping you in any way,” she says. “If you’re worrying about something,” she says, “you’re not taking steps to address the source of your worry, if that’s even possible.”

Your goal is to give yourself 20 or 30 minutes a day in that space, devoted only to worrying. “The rest of the day, you tell yourself you aren’t going to worry because you will at that time and place,” Newman explains. “The idea is that by setting apart your worry, you can control it.”

B．Unfortunately, Newman opposes this idea.

How to Improve Your Memory
Can’t find your cars keys Forget your grocery list You’re not alone. Everyone forgets things occasionally. ____91____ Consider the following ways to sharpen your memory.
Include physical activity in your daily routine.
For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic(有氧的) activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, such as jogging—preferably spread throughout the week. ____92____
Stay mentally active.
Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keep your brain in shape—and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Play bridge. Take alternate routes when driving. ____93____Volunteer at a local school or community organization.
____94____
You’re more likely to forget things if your home is messy and your notes are disorganized. Take down tasks. appointments and other events in a special notebook, calendar or electronic planner. You might even repeat each entry out loud as you jot it down to help strengthen it in your memory. Keep to-do lists current and check off items you’ve completed.
Manage chronic(慢性的) diseases.
Follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations for medical conditions, such as depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and hearing loss. ____95____ In addition, review your medications with your doctor regularly.
A．Get organized
B．Learn to play a musical instrument.
C．Various medications can affect memory.
D．Still, memory loss is nothing to take lightly.
E．Set aside a place for your wallet, keys, glasses and other essentials.
F．The better you take care of yourself, the better your memory is likely to be.
G．If you don’t have time for a full workout, squeeze in a few 10-minute walks throughout the day.
There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. ____96____ But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. ____97____ It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. ____98____ If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
____99____ Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck; behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally. ____100____
A．Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B．But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C．In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D．Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E．It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F．Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G．Indeed, it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.
