How to survive and thrive

Here are some tips to help you learn not only to survive, but to thrive(有成) and grow in a chaotic world.

Try to build on strengths rather than focus on weaknesses.

1.Maybe you’ll become an auto mechanic, or maybe you’ll make good use of your ability to classify detailed information to build a career as biologist or druggist.

Realize that few mistakes are disastrous.

Did you fail a course? 2.Most of us can’t avoid an occasional failure, but we can learn bounce-back attitudes through failures.

Cecelia, a shy twelve-year-old, became livelier when she won the lead in a school play. “We want you to improve your grades, not spend time on plays!” said her worried mother. 4.And she made new friends with the “good kids” who were also achievers. Most importantly, no matter what happens, Cecelia can return to that feeling of success whenever she gets discouraged.

Getting into a top university—or any university – will not guarantee success.

I’ve met high school drop-outs who became very successful. 5. Career-changers who face the future with an attitude of “I can handle anything” are the ones who win today. While in difficulties, they keep up their spirits till they figure out what to do next.

A. Have no idea about your future plan?

B. Face rejection from a first-class college?

C. Life is hard at the moment, but we’re surviving.

D. Try to experience success in any area of your life.

E. To everyone’s surprise, Cecelia’s grades improved.

F. Do you spend hours studying models of cars for the last twenty years?

G. I’ve met people from top universities who experienced unemployment and even homelessness.

Flaubert had it that "one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party". It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.

A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine, concluded that "book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow-up compared to non-book readers."

The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The study looked at 3,635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups: those who didn't read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.

The findings were remarkable: on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book. The more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but that as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.

Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year period. Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half-hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.

In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a "significant survival advantage," the authors concluded.

Why or how that's the case remains unclear; the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. But the findings are not so surprising. Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.

1.Why does the author mention Flaubert's words in the first paragraph?

A. To stress the value of reading.

B. To compare reading with party.

C. To introduce the study on reading.

D. To support the findings of the study.

2.From the text, what can we learn about the study?

A. No similar study on reading has been carried out.

B. The process of the study lasted more than ten years.

C. It shows readers live two years longer than non-readers.

D. It shows time spent on reading increases one's love for it.

3.What does the underlined words "that's the case" probably mean?

A. Reading books enables people to live longer.

B. Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.

C. Reading books is closely associated with longevity.

D. Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.

4.Where can we most probably read this text?

A. https://www.theguardian.com/life-and-style/family.

B. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/books/coming-soon.

C. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health.

As we know, DNA testing is very useful for crime fighting. But now crime fighters could have a new tool at hand. Researchers have developed a cutting-edge (前沿的) technique to identify human hair. Their test is quicker than DNA analysis techniques currently used by the police.

DNA testing is commonly used for identification because DNA is unique to each individual. However, environmental and chemical processes can degrade(降解) DNA, limiting its usefulness over time. Protein (蛋白质) in hair, on the other hand, is more stable than DNA but can also have variations (变异体) that may be unique to the individual.

“Our analysis process can be used universally, ”says Ms. Huang, “One of our samples even included dyed hair and the test was 100 per cent accurate. The test was able to distinguish East Asians, Caucasians and South Asians.”

Dr. Beauchemin says she has got in touch with law enforcement agencies about using the new technology. She is also planning to collect more hair samples and continue her research with a goal of finding where exactly in the world hair sample is from, to look for more races and determine specific age.

“We are in a very similar place with protein-based identification to where DNA testing was during the early days of development,” said chemist Brad Hart. “This method will be a game-changer, and while we’ve made a lot of progress toward improving it, there are steps to go before this new technique is able to reach its full potential.”

A. To analyze crime scenes.

B. To distinguish different races.

C. To show the usefulness of DNA testing.

D. To introduce a new identification method.

C. Security. D. Convenience.

C. Protein-based identification has replaced DNA testing.

D. DNA testing develops as rapidly as protein-based identification.
