A lot of overachievers develop perfectionist tendencies at a young age when demands on their time arc limited to school,hobbies and maybe an after-school job.It's easier to maintain that perfectionist habit as a kid,but as you grow up,life gels more complicated.As you climb the ladder at work and as your family grows,your responsibilities increase rapidly.Perfectionism becomes out of reach and if that habit is left unchecked,it can become harmful.
The key to avoid burning out is to let go of perfectionism.As life gets more expanded it's very hard to keep that habit of perfection going.The healthier option is to work hard not for perfection,but for excellence.
From telecommuting to programmes that make work easier,technology has helped our lives in many ways.But it has also created expectations of constant accessibility.The workday never seems to end.There are times when you should just shut your phone off and enjoy the momcnl.Official instructions over the phone interrupt your off time and add stress to your system.So don't text at your kid's soccer game and don't send work e-mails while you're hanging out with family.By not reacting to the updates from work,you will developing a stronger habit of resilience(弹性).Resilient people feel a greater sense of control over their lives while reactive people have less control and arc more likely to get stressed.
Even when we're busy,we make time for the crucial things in life.We eat.We go to the bathroom.We sleep.And yet one of our most crucial needs-exercise-is often the first thing to go when our calendars fill up.Exercise is an effective stress reducer.So you should devote quite some time each week to self-care,whether it's exercise,yoga or meditation(冥想).And if you're really pressed for time,start small with deep breathing exercises during your travel to and from work,a quick five-minute meditation morning and night or replacing drinking alcohol with a healthier form of stress reduction.
These exercises require minor effort but offer major payoffs,Our autonomic nervous system includes two branches:the sympathetic nervous system(our body's stress response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (our body's rest and digest response).The key is to find something (hat you can build into your life that will activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

13.An old Japanese man kept a sparrow(61)ofwhich he was very fond.One day it flew away.He went out(62)looking(look) all over the place for his sparrow.At last,he met his sparrow."I missed you very much,sparrow.Will you follow me home?"(63)Though/Althoughthe sparrow was happy to see the old man,it shook(64)itshead.There were many other birds.They all looked healthy."I am glad you have good companions,dear sparrow."Said the old man.When it was time for the old man (65)to leave(leave),the sparrow gave him a basket as a present."Well,"said the old man's wife (66)angrily(anger) when he returned,"where have you been all day??""I have been to the home of my lost sparrow",(67)replied(reply) he.When he opened the basket he was(68)amazed(amaze) to find it was full of gold.The old woman was very greedy.But the wife used to treat it very badly.She unashamedly asked for a present."Alright",replied the sparrow,"I offer you two(69)choices(choose).One basket is light and the other is heavy.Just choose one.The greedy old woman cried out,"I'll take(70)theheavy one."So the old woman carried the heavy basket breathlessly all the way.But when she arrived home and opened the basket,it was full of stones.
20.In 1999,twelve percent of public elementary schools in the United States required students to wear uniforms.Just three years later,the amount was almost double that.
A study of six big-city Ohio public schools showed students who were required to wear uniforms had improved graduation,behavior and attendance rates.Academic performance was unchanged.
Some high schools in Texas have also joined in the movement.Yet studies find mixed results from requiring uniforms.And some schools have turned away from such policies.
Supporters believe dressing the same creates a better learning environment and safer schools.The school district in Long Beach,California,was the first in the country to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools.The example helped build national interest in uniforms as a way to deal with school violence and improve learning.
Findings in Long Beach suggested that the policy resulted in fewer behavior problems and better attendance.But researcher Viktoria,who has looked at those findings,says they were based only on opinions about the effects of uniforms.
She says other steps taken at the same time to improve schools in Long Beach and statewide could have influenced the findings.The district (the area marked by government) increased punishments for misbehavior.And California passed a law to reduce class sizes.
In Florida,for example,researcher Sharon found that uniforms seemed to improve behavior and reduce violence.In Texas,Eloise found fewer discipline problems among students required to wear uniforms,but no effect on attendance.
Sociologist David has studied school uniform policies since1998.He collected the reports in the book.In his own study,he found that reading and mathematics performance dropped after a school in Pennsylvania(宾夕法尼亚州)required uniforms.
Political and community pressures may persuade schools to go to uniforms to improve learning.But David and others believe there is not enough evidence of a direct relationship.In fact,he says requiring uniforms may even increase discipline problems.

32.Which of the following researchers are NOT supporters of school uniform policies?D

C.Researchers in the U.S.argue for school uniform policies.

17.Facing increasing pressure to raise students'scores on standardized tests,schools a re urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements.Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale.With the help of businesses,schools are also giving away cars,iPods,seats to basketball games,and-in a growing number of cases-cold,hard cash.The appeal of such programs is obvious,but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain.It's been a common tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life.But for many disadvantaged minority children,the long-term benefits of getting an education are not so clear,according to experts.
No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in the long run.But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids.Virginia Shiller,a clinical psychologist,says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal."I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility-things that will lead to success in life,"she says.
Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test,they could have a meaningful effect in the school.Charles McVean,a businessman and philanthropist(慈善家),started a tutoring program,which pays higher-achieving students﹩10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams.During the course of the year,students bond and compete.The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of﹩100.McVean calls the combination of peer(同龄人)tutoring,competition,and cash encouragements a recipe for"nothing less than magic".
For its part,the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year.The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card.Regina Klaers,the district spokeswoman,says most parents don't seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards."There are many ways we try to urge students to do well,and sometimes it's through the stomach,and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car,"she says,"One size doesn't fit all."

28.According to the text,it is a common practice for schools toD.
A.offer free meals to students with high scores       
  B.educate students to form a business sense     
C.cooperate with business to improve teaching

13.You may consider your smartphone's  camera as a substitute when you don't havt1your"real"carriers with you i but the fact is,smart phone camera technology has become so complex that the pictures you take on your mobile device may be matchable lo those you shoot with a standalone digital camera.Plus,your smartphone camera travels with you almost everywhere.What better way lo capture (捕捉)the unexpected moments of your life that could be the ones you love best?
Try these simple and affordable tips to control and use the power of your smartphone's   camera,and capture a quality image for every moment you want to preserve.
Smartphone cameras enable you to snap (拍照)an image at a moment's notice,but the slim design of mobile devices can make it tough to hold the camera steady enough to capture a clear image.Many of us take less time to get the shot  with smart phones than with fancier cameras,and this can lead to out-of-focus images  we're unhappy with.Simply taking a few moments to stop and hold the camera-and ourselves-still cm make a big difference.Using the volume(音量)button on the side of your smartphone to snap images instead of the camera's on-screen button can also reduce hand movement and impmvc the quality of your shots.
Your smartphone's camera can measure light automatically,but most smartphone camera  lenses (镜片)limit your focal length and depth.With quality lighting,your camera is able to capture quality images.Whether you're snapping pictures indoors or outside,pay attention to light sources and  how they hit your photos subject.Be especially mindful of dark shadows across people's faces,which can appear less attractive in pictures.Additionally,a flashlight from a different phone can light your subject from m angle which will result in a better image than relying on your smartphone camera's  flash.Instead of getting a flat,washed-out look,the subject looks dynamit and attractive.
Just as your smartphone doesn't always know what you most want to capture in m image,the strongest composition of ten comes from simplicity.Before you snap,take a look at the background"noise"your image will include,such as passersby,pictures on a wall behind the subject and moving cars.Don't try to capture too much all in one photo.Walk closer to help remove objects that don't  add to the scene.Choosing cootrasling colours between your subject and the background elements in an image can  increase the wow factor of your smartphonc pictures,too.
