Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain(保持) long-distance friendships.
·Set a regular date
Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 1 .
·More isn’t always merrier
Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 2 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.
·Practise empathy(共情)
3 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.
· 4
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.
·Don’t rely on technology alone
5 , but long-distance friendships—even close ones—may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible.
A.Remember important dates
B.Compensate by writing letters
C.It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper
D.Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it
E.Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication
F.It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media

In today’s increasingly competitive society, people are loaded with a growing amount of stress. Stress can affect how you feel, think, and behave. 1 It’s worth taking the time to learn different strategies for managing your stress.
Identifythecause. If you are having problems with tense muscles, overtiredness, or headaches, it is quite possibly stress-related. Is it your job, relationship or something else Problems can be divided into three categories: those with a practical solution, those that will get better with time and those outside your control. 2
Moveyourbody. Exercise won’t cure your stress, but it can help to clean your head. Try something new: yoga may be calming, but there’s nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag. Don’t worsen the stress by drinking and smoking. 3 They will only make you feel physically and mentally worse.
4 If you are the kind of person who is open to advice, you can talk to a friend about your stress. Friends can work as a support group, and they may provide you with solutions. Sometimes, you can’t see the easy way out of the situation when you are standing right in the middle of it.
Makealist. Having too much to do may cause you to rush around because, if you are moving faster, it feels as if you are getting more done. 5 Make a to-do list. Do the big and important things last, after you have achieved several of the small things. That way, you will approach the big things already feeling good.

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(核心) 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.

WhyDoMovieTheatresServePopcorn
The delicious smell. The crunchy(爽脆的) bite. The buttery finish. People will recognise the smell and flavour of their favourite moviegoing snacks anywhere. Why is it that we feast our taste buds on these crisp kernels while our eyes focus on the big screen
1 The main reason is the snack’s price, convenience, and timing. Popcorn was cheap for sellers and for customers, and making it didn’t require special equipment. 2 That is how popcorn got introduced to the silver screen.
Popcorn does not refer to the popped kernel alone. 3 It was originally grown in Central America and became popular in the US in the mid-pared with other snacks at the time, it was super easy to make, and it got easier when the mobile steam power popcorn-maker was invented. In the late 19th century a large number of independent popcorn suppliers became widely available. 4
Since popcorn was cheap to make, it was also cheap to buy, which increased the popularity of this snack during the Great Depression. The Depression increased consumer spending on cheaper luxury items such as popcorn and movies, and the two industries teamed up. 5 By the mid-1940s, however, movie theatres began to have their own concession stands in the lobby. The introduction of the popcorn-driven concession stand to movie theatres kept the movie theatre industry running smoothly, and popcorn has been a basic movie-watching food ever since.
A.A few aspects made popcorn the typical movie snack.
B.They were like the great-great-grandfathers of food trucks.
C.Therefore, movie theatres attracted more and more customers.
D.The secret of popcorn’s pleasant taste lies in the special material.
E.It’s also the name for the specific type of corn that is used to make the snack.
F.Theatres would allow a popcorn salesman to sell popcorn outside for a daily fee.
G.Popcorn also got popular at a time when theatres badly needed an economic increase.

HowtoChoosetheRightUniversityDegreeforYou
Choosing the right university degree is perhaps one of the biggest decisions that you might make in your life. If you are in the process of applying to a university and aren’t sure which degree to choose, here are some things you can do to help you make the right choice.
1
Many teens who are in the process of applying to a university end up being pressured by parents or other family members to apply to study subjects that they are good at but don’t really enjoy. 2 Remember, it’s always easier to improve your knowledge and skills around a certain subject if you are truly passionate about it.
Getsomeworkexperience.
There’s nothing like actually experiencing something to help you determine what you might want to do. 3 But you may be able to spend a day in the office or workplace shadowing people who work in those careers and asking them questions.
Thinkaboutyourfuturegoals.
When you think about your future goals, don’t just think about the work that you want to do—consider the other goals that you have for your life as well. 4 If so, a career as an English teacher or a translator might be the perfect option for you. Perhaps you want a job where you can help others every day, and then medicine, nursing or counselling could be an ideal choice. 5 Then degrees in film, art, and architecture are great choices.
A.Think about what you like.
B.Do you want to travel a lot
C.You don’t have to be employed.
D.Think about what you’re good at.
E.Maybe you want to have many fans.
F.Try not to let others push this on you.
G.Maybe you’re a very creative person.
Test8
Being a teenager can be difficult, since you’re dealing with higher expectations and the process of finding your place in the world. 1 The following are things you can do to achieve that!
2 Everyone is different in their teenage years. Some teens prefer to spend time with friends, while others prefer to study and work; some prefer to be quiet wallflowers(待在一旁的人), while others are loud. Saying that there’s only one way to enjoy your teenage years is wrong.
Develop your sense of self, focusing more on your own thoughts. 3 Stop paying so much attention to them as many of them are based on what other people think, instead of what you think. Go ahead and do what you want, without factoring others’ opinions in.
Work on your work ethic(职业道德). What you accomplish in your teenage years may determine your opportunities in your adulthood, so dedicate some time to studying and do your best. Learn how to prioritise, whether it’s with schoolwork, or any extra-curricular activities. Boost your studying skills. 4
Keep good relations with your family as much as possible. 5 It’s the building blocks for all relationships you develop, whether they’re friendships, romantic relationships, or a family you choose to have later on in life. And plus, you see them every day—why not make it nice to spend time with them
A.Avoid rushing to figure out who you are.
B.For lots of people, the teenage years are full of worries.
C.But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the teenage years.
D.Family is one of the most important connections in your life.
E.They may not seem enjoyable, but they’re helpful later on in life.
F.Understand that there’s no invariable way to enjoy your teenager years.
G.Being a teenager is not necessarily any easier or more difficult than other life stages.
