Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don't beat yourself up about them. To err(犯错) is human. 1.　　　 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 2.　　　 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don't have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you're proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you've done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3.　　　
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4.　　　 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don't wait until you've made a mistake to try this—it's a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It's something of a cliché(陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it's true. 5.　　　 We're all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It's just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn't mean you have to ignore what's happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn't a fixed aspect of your personality.

　　As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook(素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. 1.　　　 You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.
Paint often and paint from life. There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 2.　　
Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 3.　　　 Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club; we've all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
4.　　　 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback(反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. 5.　　　 Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A. Get out of your comfort zone.
B. Make career plans and set goals.
C. Don't throw away your beginner art.
D. Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E. You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.
F. Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.
G. You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.

　　Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,” while another read: “1.　　　” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 2.　　　 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. 3.　　　 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 4.　　
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 5.　　　 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C. You'll work harder if you train with someone else.
D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport
E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice
F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.
G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information.

　　Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
1.　　　 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 2.　　　 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3.　　　 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled(弄皱)paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced(三倍行距)copy to allow space for revision. 4.　　　 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks(大块)of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5.　　　 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don't leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

　　My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1.　　　 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管)worked. 2.　　　 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 3.　　　 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
4.　　　 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 5.　　　 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

　　If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine, the speed at which you read probably does not matter very much. But if you have to read a great deal for study, you will appreciate the benefits of being able to read more quickly. 1.　　
●Before you open the book, make sure that you are comfortable. You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes. 2.　　
●3.　　　 Look at the table of contents, the preface, the chapter heading, etc. This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it. Ten minutes spent in this way could save you quite a lot of time in the long run.
●If you decide that you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. 4.　　　 A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects. In the former case you may be able to read a chapter. In the latter you may only be able to read one page.
●Always keep a pencil and paper beside you. 5.　　　 Note also the facts important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research. You don't have to write these things in detail. It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder.
A. Stop to have a rest now and then.
B. Spend a few minutes looking through the book.
C. This depends on the type of book you are reading.
D. Here are some tips to help improve your reading speed.
E. Make a note of any page which is of special importance.
F. You may find yourself having to learn something by heart.
G. Keep the room cool rather than warm to avoid feeling sleepy.

　　Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 1.　　　 Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.” 2.　　　 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one. 3.　　
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 4.　　　 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
5.　　　 It's rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably can't count the times that you've thought,“I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

●Stay positive.
Go to your doctor's visits with a good attitude. 2.　　　 Think teamwork! Think positive!

3.　　　 This will make it easier for you to answer questions about your symptoms(症状) and how medicines make you feel. It also makes it easier for you to bring up anything that you are worried about. Make sure to be honest about how you feel and how long you've felt that way.
●4.　　
Your medical history is a list of your illnesses, treatments, what the doctors told you to do, and anything else you think your doctor should know. Also, if you are allergic(过敏) to any medicines, be sure to mention that to your doctor.
●Ask questions.
Do not be afraid to ask your doctor any questions you have. To remember all the questions you have when you are not in the doctor's office, write them down and bring the list with you to your appointment. 5.　　　 Remember—there's no such thing as a stupid question. If you don't understand the answer to a question, ask the doctor to explain it again until you do understand.

Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There's one answer:1.　　　.
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
Practice gratitude(感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 2.　　　. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
Make yourself wait
Instant gratification(满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 3.　　　. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
4.　　
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself,“5.　　　.” You'll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience

　　With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever,why not book your next domestic vacation on a train Compared to other alternatives, it's comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1.　　　 But no matter when you travel, it's a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2.　　　 Then you won't have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you're riding on trains, you won't be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3.　　　 In the summer in particular,the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4.　　　 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. 5.　　　 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600 (the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile (the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you're going 67.92 mph.
A. Train trips aren't for impatient types.
B. You'll have views from both sides of the train.
C. The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control.
D. That's particularly true during busy summer months.
E. You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one.
F. Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom.
G. He may also book you in a sleeping car that's right next to the diner.

　　I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示) on where to buy their presents. 1.　　
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something; other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. 2.　　　 And when writing doesn't seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. 3.　　　 You write “Dear Santa” because you don't know him personally and you want to show him respect.
4.　　　 Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. 5.　　　 This type of writing won't be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.
A. It isn't that these young people can't write.
B. But it is always purposeful—or at least it should be.
C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.
D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.
E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.
F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.
G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.

You've got mail...and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 1.　　
“I often send postcards to family and friends,” he says to China Daily, “but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 2.　　　”Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place:online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch(直觉)paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 3.　　　 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 4.　　　 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
“Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 5.　　　 That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,” Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it...to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 1.　　　 Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
●2.　　　 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 3.　　　 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心的) response “That didn't go as planned. But, I tried my best.”
●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 4.　　
●Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 5.　　　 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are
A. Feeling upset again
B. Where do you start

　　I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 1.　　　 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 2.　　　 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 3.　　　
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 4.　　　 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
5.　　　 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They're all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 1.　　　 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
2.　　　 If the air you're breathing is clean—which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉)and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 3.　　　 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 4.　　　 It gives us a great feeling of peace.
5.　　　 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial vitamin D. To make sure you get enough vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

　　Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should I jump ” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 1.　　　 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
2.　　　 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 3.　　　 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity (清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 4.　　　 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 5.　　　 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself
C. However, this should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals

　　Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 1.　　　 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 2.　　　 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
3.　　　 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964.

Passage 2（2023福建三明高三上学期期末）
　　So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same old job. 1.　 And while it's perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there's much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zones.
There is no exception to a man aged 53. 2.　　　 He knew it was going to be hard to find another job. He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work.
3.　　　 He didn't want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.
4.　　　 Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease(租约). 5.　　　 But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive again. Eighteen years later, they're still there and doing better than ever. Brian says he's extremely grateful for the decision to make a change.
A. Then came the opportunity.
B. The thought filled him with anxiety.
C. That was exactly what Brian needed.
D. Even our New Year's resolutions to change hardly make it.
E. With the support of his family, he took a job in the local cafe.
F. Several weeks after consideration, he decided to have a change.
G. Brian Mockenhaupt got laid off from a senior management position.

Passage 3（2023江苏苏州高三上学期期末）
　　For the holiday gathering, you may be wondering how you're going to pull it off. Before we go into the specifics, a few words of general advice: You don't have to throw the party your parents did. 1.　　
We talked to a party-planning expert, Miller. Here's her advice on how to host a stress-free holiday gathering without losing your mind.
2.　　
The best way to avoid being exhausted is to be prepared. Many seasoned hosts set their tables several days in advance. “Always pretend your event is a few days before,” Miller says. 3.　　　 She recommends cleaning the house, preparing an extra dining chair and buying drinks a few days in advance.
Pick a serving setup.
Before you choose your menu, determine your serving style. 4.　　　 If you've got the space for it, a family-style meal—where people sit around a table and food is passed on big plates—can cut down on the need for complicated decorations. “Food can be part of the design, so you're not going crazy with flowers or anything,” she says.
Embrace a mixed menu.
The pandemic has made takeout an option not only for family dinners, but also for entertaining, because many restaurants now offer specific holiday dinner dishes to take home. 5.　　　 “You can do a party with literally no cooking,” Miller says. “I like to live in the in-between, but it's up to you.” Time-and stress-savers include relying on make-ahead dishes.
A. This is your show.
B. Dress the house in your own style.
C. Throw a party that isn't on the holiday itself.
D. Be prepared with a carefully worked-out plan.
E. You can get great food from so many local places.
F. Buffets are good if you don't have a large dining table.
G. There is always work you have to do at the last minute.

Passage 4（2023河北张家口高三一模）
　　Apologizing for a mistake might seem difficult, but it will help you repair and improve your relationships with others after that offense.
Acknowledge the offense. This is an essential element of a good apology. 1.　　　 Apologies are most likely to be well-received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example, saying “I made a mistake” is more effective than saying “mistakes were made”, which fails to clarify responsibility.
2.　　　 In some cases, it's helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long-winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim (e.g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect.
Express regret. 3.　　　 Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering you caused. Be careful of phrases like “That was uncharacteristic of me.” 4.　　　 Instead, acknowledge your disappointment in yourself and make your commitment to improve.
Tell them how you'll change. Let them know how you'll change and what you'd do to make that possible. For instance, if you've been late once again, instead of just apologizing, share how you'd keep an early alarm to be on time! 5.　　
A. Provide a proper explanation.
B. Express your intention clearly.
C. But many apologies don't do this enough.
D. When you hurt someone, it's natural to feel shame or regret.
E. A true apology is one where you promise it won't be repeated again.
F. This might show that you aren't taking full ownership for what happened.
G. This will enable you to know what means the most to the offended person.

Passage 5（2023广东佛山高三二模）
　　Wonderful views from the mountains, breath-taking places waiting for us to explore, fresh air, as well as all the special health benefits, are the main rewards of mountain hiking. 1.

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.

4.　　　 Even Rome wasn't built in a day, so give yourself the pleasure of enjoying discovering what your body is capable of! All the perfect benefits will improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, help 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.

Passage 6（2023辽宁沈阳高三一模）
　　Men's sport has for decades benefited from what investors call a “flywheel effect”. Big broadcast and sponsorship deals throw money into the game readily. 1.　　　 That, in turn, generates even more money the next time around.
Women's sport has long suffered the opposite phenomenon. 2.　　　 With few games available, viewers cannot tune in(收看), and few viewers mean little money.
The flywheel may, at last, be starting to turn. 3.　　　 The first quarter of 2022 saw the highest viewership, up by around 50% on 2019, the last full year before the pandemic. Women's sport is resisting a general trend for people to watch less television. Streaming(流媒体播放), meanwhile, offers a way to show games without expensive deals with broadcasters, helping to build fan bases.
4.　　　 Viewership of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in America rose by 50% in 2021 compared with 2020. In February, the WNBA felt confident, raising $75 million and valuing it at $1 billion. The prize pool for this year's Women's Championship is $16 million, double the value in 2017.
One big change is that several big rights-holders now sell sponsorship rights for women's events, separately, rather than bonded with the men's tournaments. 5.　　
A. Start with viewing figures.
B. Money is starting to follow eyeballs.
C. Many associations fund women's sport.
D. Some think sponsors get a better deal with women's sport.
E. Broadcasters have unwillingly shown it without being sure that people will watch.
F. That attracts more players and raises the level of play, which helps attract more viewers.
G. That forces buyers and sellers to think about exactly how much such rights might be worth.

Passage 7（2023山东德州、烟台高三一模）
　　Settling down with a great novel enables you to consider ideas that might have never crossed your mind if you had not chosen it in the first place. 1.　　　 If you have the urge and are curious about how to start a book club, it's easier than you might think.
First, find members. Reach out to your existing reading-loving friends and post a notice in your local library or bookstore. If you're open to a more digital-friendly approach, put the word out about your new club via Twitter or Facebook. 2.　　
Then set group guidelines. To guarantee your new group is all on the same page, take time to discuss what you want to get out of regular club gatherings before your first official meeting. Will your time together be spent largely focusing on the novel at hand 3.　　　 While enjoying stimulating non-book conversation over coffee and snacks is in no way ill-advised, not everyone who signs up for a book club is willing to reject their novel for a cup.
4.　　　 Books that work really well are the ones that help you reflect on yourself. They have lots of entry points for people so they probably have a good setting. Also, there's great character development. Select something with the criteria, and you can please all kinds of readers.
As far as how often you meet, that schedule is up to your members to determine what's realistic—plus how long it will take to complete the book. As for location, meeting up at your home is always an option. 5.　　　 Meeting at a public space like a bar can ease the pressure of entertaining.
A. Don't feel bound to act as host, though.
B. Which scene has stuck with you the most
C. Picking books may seem like the trickiest part.
D. You'll gain a sense of community from book clubs.

Select the perfect flowers. The first step is to use fresh flowers. 2.　　　 If you want to have bright and summery appearance, you can choose a variety of colors for carnations, geraniums, and tulips. Such colors make the fresh flower arrangement look bright and beautiful.
3.　　　 Select seasonal flowers and leaves so that the entire arrangement looks like a natural handheld bunch. You can choose locally available flowers, adding broad leaves so that the entire arrangement looks natural.

Passage 9（2022福建高三诊断性测试）
　　No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. 1.　　　 From the day you leave your parents' house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.
If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. 2.　　　 However, it doesn't change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life. Even if it's not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond.
3.　　　 If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That's because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success were easy, everybody would be successful.
There is nothing that you can't achieve with hard work. People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical events in the future. 4.　 Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don't change what you do daily.
A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office 5.

Passage 1（2023江苏苏北七市高三二模）
　　Conscious(有意识的) living is not just a trend. 1.　　　 It is about being intentional with everything you do—your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal.
●Be conscious of your time.
Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. 2.　　　 If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate(分配) it for positive activities.
● 3.　　
You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.
●Learn to be grateful.
Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. 4.　　
●Believe in yourself.
It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. 5.　　　 Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line.
Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run.
A. Know yourself better.
B. Accept the person you are.
C. Life can be a lot better with the right decisions.

Passage 2（2023湖南长沙高三上学期期末）
　　I'm a hiker—“born to hike”. It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail(小路), especially when I'm alone and can let my mind wander where it will. 1.　　
Hiking keeps your brain sharper than many other forms of exercise. As a professional writer, although I am busy with my work, I often spare some time to hike. 2.　　
3.　　　 Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress. But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that hiking can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase our creativity. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions. 4.　　　 Sometimes, ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I'm not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world. Besides being good for us, hiking may also help the world around us. After all, if we stick to walking and covering longer distances, we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint. 5.　　　 For example, it increases our connection to nature. As one study suggests, when we have a personal connection to nature, we are more likely to want to protect it. That means experiences in nature—like hiking—can be mutually(相互地) beneficial, helping people and the earth.
So, grab a water bottle, a backpack...and head out on the trail. You won't be sorry you did.
A. Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy.
B. Beyond that, hiking benefits our planet indirectly.
C. Following are the benefits you can get from hiking.
D. In fact, I've written many of my songs while hiking on a trail.
E. It's easy for me to come up with creative ideas while sitting alone.
F. It not just makes me feel good, but also helps me keep the brain in top shape.
G. This all goes to show that hiking may be one of the best ways to move your body.

Passage 3（2023山东威海高三上学期期末）
　　What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 1.　　　 Such people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The Internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 2.　　　 Knowing “tomato is a fruit” is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day-to-day life. Books and the Internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 3.　　　
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 4.　　　 But videos are made for a general audience. They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom. Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
5.　　　 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete(过时的).
A. Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.
B. Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C. Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D. On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E. Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the Internet.
F. Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.

Passage 4（2023湖北部分重点中学高三上学期期末）
　　Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. 1.　　　 Many experts say there's no easy answer because it depends on the person.
If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. 2.　　　 Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen (氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.
Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. 3.　　　 It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat.
4.　　　 Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you'll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.
Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. 5.　　
A. However, a fasted workout might not work for you.
B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.
C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body.
D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts' minds.
E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.
F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat.
G. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts.

1.　　　 Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy(共情) and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want. They suggest that you cut out negativity from your life, especially people who complain. But humans love to complain.
I know this because I get paid to sit with people while they complain every week.

Passage 7（2023四省联考）
　　There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 1.　　　
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 2.　　　 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 3.　　　 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
4.　　　 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding(快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 5.　　　 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A. Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
