Whether you’re thinking about what to make for breakfast or deciding what to wear in the morning, your brain makes over 35,000 decisions each day. But for some people, one simple decision can turn into several questions. When someone wants to take exercise, he may ask himself, “Do I want to work out today ” “Should I start now ” “Can I start later ” Then before he gets the answers, he doesn't have time to work out anymore. 1 Probably, he is experiencing decision fatigue (决策疲劳).
If you find you’re getting angry more often and having difficulty dealing with certain situations you normally wouldn’t, you may be experiencing decision fatigue. 2 For example, you feel upset when you have to reply to some emails.
3 One of the best ways is to automate (使自动化) some of the choices you make each day. For example, you can wear the same types of clothes every day. And if you've got a nice breakfast you like and it's good for your health, you can stick with it.
Another way is to reduce the number of decisions you need to make. Ask someone to share some of the decision-making jobs so you don’t need to think about certain tasks. 4
All in all, remember to go easy on yourself. 5 Finally, you’ll feel much more relaxed about decision-making.
A．And he’ll feel very tired in the end.
B．This way can reduce what's on your mind.
C．There are many ways to reduce decision fatigue.
D．To avoid making decisions, you can plan your meals wisely.
E．Use these ways to reduce decision fatigue, one step at a time.
F．If you have trouble processing information, you may also be experiencing it.
Mooncakes are an essential (重要的) part of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Each year, bakers create millions of these desserts so people can share them with friends and family. But where did this tradition come from
About 650 years ago, the Mongols ruled (统治) over China. The Han people wanted to get back control. However, they did not want the Mongols to catch them. So, they began passing secret messages inside of mooncakes, saying that they were going to fight the Mongols on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the evening arrived, the Han people fought hard and were successful.
Each year after that, people celebrated the victory by eating mooncakes. It is a good way to remember the history. The practice spread quickly throughout China. Gradually, eating mooncakes became a cultural tradition. It is also a good chance for Chinese families to get together for family reunion (团聚).
Today, people can buy all different types of mooncakes. They come with different fillings and in different prices. People enjoy filling up with these tasty treats, but many of them don’t know the history of the simple mooncakes.

Legend has it (据传说) that if you look closely enough during the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, you can see the Jade Rabbit and the Lady in the moon. Every year, the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. The moon’s round shape symbolizes togetherness and unity, and families get together to share a meal, celebrate the beauty of the moon, and tell old stories.
The tradition of appreciating the moon (赏月) began during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the tradition was to look at the moon and take walks in the moonlight. A few hundred years later, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the tradition. The Song decided to make the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Food has always played an important role in Chinese celebrations, and mooncake is a Mid-Autumn Festival delight. Its round shape symbolizes completeness and togetherness. Traditionally, the filling is made with lotus seed or red bean paste, but you can find mooncakes filled with other things from meat and eggs to fruits and green tea. You can also find mooncakes in other shapes such as squares and even cartoon characters like Winnie the Poo h or Hello Kitty.
Another favorite Mid-Autumn Festival tradition is lighting red lanterns. Although animal-shaped lanterns are hard to find, you can still celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with any red Chinese lantern or make your own. Red symbolizes good luck and happiness and is an important color in many Chinese festivals.

World Animal Day falls on Oct 4 every year. It was started in 1931 to remind everyone on our planet to care about animals. Unluckily, many wild animals are facing great danger. Some even became extinct and cannot be seen forever. Recently, China has done much to improve the living condition of endangered wild animals.
The protection of Asian elephants is a good example. Asian elephants in China are mostly found in Yunnan Province. These animals have become endangered because some people are killing for their teeth. The government (政府) has been trying to protect them. For example, elephants teeth business is not allowed. This can greatly prevent elephants hunting.
Another example is the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise (江豚). Because of lots of over-fishing and water pollution, the population of the Yangtze finless porpoise was just 1, 012 in 2018. That number was lower than the number of giant pandas. In 2020, the government once put a 10-year fishing ban (禁令). This action is very useful and now people can see a group of Yangtze finless porpoises jump and play in the Yangtze River.
With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. As we share this Earth with all living things, we can truly make a difference for all animals.

C．Protect elephants in a zoo. D．Grow more trees for elephants.
18．What can we learn about Yangtze finless porpoise from Paragraph 3
A．Their population was 1,012 in 2020.
B．Their population is larger than that of giant pandas in 2018.
C．They were in danger because of over-fishing and air pollution.
D．Their number is higher because the government put a fishing ban.
He was there every morning, sitting motionless (面无表情的) on the front steps of his house. Each morning I walked this road with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soon faded (消退) when the man didn’t look at her or say “Hi” back.
As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “May be he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.
A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.
As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged (搭理) her. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”
From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation.

Celebrate beauty of Lantern Festival
庆祝元宵节
Many traditional Chinese festivals remind us of the aromas of special foods. As zongzi are to Dragon Boat Festival and mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival, yuanxiao—sweet dumplings made of sticky rice flour—are special to Lantern Festival.

Apart from the round-shaped yuanxiao, another beloved part of the celebration is the lanterns, which come in almost every possible size and shape. In old times, riddles were pasted onto them so that people could try to solve them while looking at the beauty of the lanterns. However, both tradition and handicraft have become less popular among young people.
Lantern Festival was at its height in the Tang and Song dynasties. It was a day of great fun back then. In the evening, people went into the streets with all kinds of lanterns, watching lion or dragon dances, eating yuanxiao and setting off firecrackers.
The festival also provided a chance for unmarried young girls to go out freely in search of their true love, since they weren’t normally allowed to do so.

Letting kids learn more about science at an early age is easier than you think. It is happening all around us, and you can use daily things to arouse (激发) your children’s interest. Most parents believe it is difficult to help their children with science. But you don’t need a high scientific degree to teach your children science. All you need is that you’re willing to try, to see the world, and to take the time to encourage their natural curiosity. When they strongly want to know about something, they get the ticket to the unknown world.
You can help by having an active attitude (态度) towards science yourself. Then start simply by asking your children questions about the things you see every day. Next listen to their answers without judging (评判) them, which will improve their confidence (自信), and help you decide just what your children know or do not know.
Different kids have different interest, so they need different kinds of science projects. Collecting rocks may interest your young daughter, but your older son may need something more to deal with it. Knowing your children is the best way to find enjoyable learning activities. Here are some more pieces of advice: Choose activities that are the right level of difficulty. If you are not sure, pick something easier. Read the suggested ages on any projects, books, and then make sure that the activity is proper for your children. Let your children choose the project or activity themselves. It’s easy enough to ask rather than force them. Suggest choosing 2 or 3 things your children can do. When a child picks something he or she is interested in, he or she will enjoy it and learn more from it.
