To be more grateful in life means that you are also allowing yourself to be happier, more contented and more satisfied with everything that has been going on around you. But with all the stress, all the disappointments and all the anxiety around you, I bet you ask yourself this question all the time: “How exactly can I be more grateful with my life?" 1..

1. Learn to live in the moment.

Life is a wonderful adventure full of enriching experiences and endless possibilities. Don't just go through the motions of repetitive (重复的) activities and boring tasks. No! Being a mindless zombie can make you more likely to take things for granted. 2., make an effort to enjoy the experience. You're supposed to attend a conference? Accept it. Babysit your niece? Enjoy the moment. Eat a 15-minute lunch? Taste each bite.

2. 3.

Being aware of your goal to be more grateful can help you look for things to be really more grateful for. Gratitude is a conscious decision. You have to practice it all the time.

3. Control your thoughts.

Of course you have the power to control what you're thinking of ! Consider this exercise, for example if you find yourself thinking more and more self-entitled, stop. 4.. You are given consciousness. Make use of it wisely.

4. Always resist the temptation of comparing yourself with other people.

As humans, we have the natural tendency to compare ourselves with others with the hope of getting satisfaction. Actually, this kind of activity does not help you feel more grateful in life.5.！You will always be meeting someone richer, which makes you feel lower than others!

Don't do it, please.

Every little think counts. You have the ability to make yourself feel more grateful in your life.

A. It does the opposite

B. Express gratitude all the time

C. Appreciate what you have right now

D. And if you find yourself repeating negative junk, stop

E. Instead of doing something just for the sake of doing it

F. Well, the following are some tips to help you with this particular concern

G. Words that stress you and make you feel worthless should definitely be removed

Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day

Gift No. 1

Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.

Gift No. 2

Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. "Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life," Dr. Marie Savard said.

Many of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.

According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, “may walk the earth once more” now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream—recreating their DNA.

Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.

Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. “It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive—although so far it has only been done in the lab,” George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.

Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So “we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them,” he said.

However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he “preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(基因组) by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative – the Asian elephant,” reported The Telegraph.

Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoth—or rather, the return of something very similar—could help bring back fragile(脆弱的) ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical.

Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: “We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around?” he told the Sunday Times. “What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then we’ll just clone things back?”

“Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years,” he said.

1.We can learn from the article that ______.

A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revived

B. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already mature

C. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNA

D. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from elephants

2.According to Church, what is the significance of his study?

A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.

B. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.

C. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.

D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains.

3.The underlined word “unethical” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. unacceptable B. misled

C. impractical D. illegal

4.According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that _______.

A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian elephants at present

B. it’s necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings from extinction

C. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystems

D. it’s more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct ones

About 1966 or so, a NASA (美国航空航天局) team doing work for the Apollo moon mission (任务) took the astronauts near Tuba City. There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation (保留地) looks very much like the lunar surface. Among all the trucks and large cars were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits.

Nearby a Navajo shepherd (牧羊人) and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers. The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people. Since the shepherd and his son did not know English, they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were. The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon. The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate. His son would not.

Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle (偷偷地笑) and then refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in hand someone translated the message,

“Watch out for these guys, they have come to take your land!”

Some people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises.It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while incr eatasing the measure of crunchiness（松脆）.

It may go some way to explain Why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and paddengers.Andy Woods,a researcher,said,“It's a general opinion that plane foods aren't fantastic,but I'm sure airlines do their best,so we wondered if there were other reasons,One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect.NASA gives their space explorers very strong -tassting foods,because for some reason,they can't taste food that Strongly-^again, it may have something ti do with the background noise.”

In a studr ,48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening tonoting or noise through earphone. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings,foods were rated less or sweet than they were when it was silent,but were rated crunchier.“The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud,your food,

attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.

“We ae still at an early stage of progressing and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive(最完整可靠的）conclusions from,” Dr Woods said,“but they suggest that restaurants could well their choice of food for a given environment.”

Also in the group's findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing .

1.How does the food taste when it is eaten m a noisy enviroment?

A. Less sallty but cronchier

B. Sweeter and saltier.

C. Sweeter but less crunchy.

D. Less sweet and crunchy.

2.Why does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?

A. Foods become less tasty in space.

B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.

C. Loud noises in space may weaken The explorers' sense of taste.

D. the explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.

3.what can we infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph?

A. The environment influences the food a restaurant sells,

B. The researchers have made an effective conclusion.

C. Music will weaken people's sense of taste while eating

D. Listening to nothing while eating is the test choice.

4.What would be the best title for the text ?

A. The best dinner environment

B. How to change p lane foods,

Besides, I haven’t bought things on the Internet for a WHOLE week.” Hearing her words, I was really5.(speech). In most cases, the things she bought aren’t good value for money. Maybe she just enjoys6.process of buying online.

Nowadays,7.the development of technology, online shopping is becoming more and more convenient. Those8.stay at home can buy whatever they want. In the meanwhile, it causes a series of9.(problem).
