You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

Procrastination

You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.

1. Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

Negative self-talk

2. Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

3.

Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.

4. Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate. 5. Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

A. Not resting your mind.

B. Using your brain regularly.

C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.

How to talk to your child about a future career

Thinking about a future career can bring a lot of stress. 1. This cuts up the question into workable issues that you and your child can enjoy dealing with throughout their childhood years. Here’s how:

●In your child’s life, there are times when they are given the opportunity to see and/or discuss a certain career. Schools have Career Day, an aunt or uncle talks about what they do for a living or your child’s youth group goes on a trip to a hospital and talks to the staff there. 2.

●When your child shows interest in a certain career, you should do some research. Then, you can offer your child some information on that job and related jobs. 3. It is a wonderful free online resource.

●Help your child weigh the pros and cons for his or her different career interests. Encourage your child to narrow(缩小) the choices down to five at the most.

●4. This is a good time to begin ordering in college and technical school lists. Use the lists and any other information you have found as an ice breaker for more conversations with your child.

●5. Make this a clear message. Teach your child that part of being independent is knowing when and who to lead on, trust and respect.

A. Do you feel you have open communication with your child?

B. The Occupational Outlook Handbook gives you what schooling is needed.

C. The final decision lies with your child, but you do have the right to have input.

D. Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions your child will make in life.

E. Figure out the path your child would have to take to obtain the schooling for his career choices.

F. Each of these times is an opportunity for you to ask your child what he thought of those jobs or that field of work.

G. Parents need to learn to help their child conquer this great question by dropping seeds of conversation as time goes by and watch them grow into ideas.

Breakthroughs in science and technology are paving the way for modern cities to support bigger populations. Now, we see the most exciting urban innovations to show you exactly how they’ll improve your city’s infrastructure(基础设施).

Lighting Up The Night

Anthony Di Mari dreamed up an electric tree to help irrigate public parks and light them at night. These electric trees contain a special infill (填充物) that collects water from rainfall. The water is then distributed through a shallow underground irrigation system with the help from the trees’ swaying movement. An electric motor turns energy from the waving of the artificial trees into electricity, which is used to light up the trees’ outer LEDs.

Thinking Outside The Box

As more people flock to urban areas, city planners will need to get increasingly creative about how to satisfy residents’ health and transportation needs within decreasing available space. One way to achieve this is by updating infrastructure to support biking and walking by building suspended(悬浮的) roundabouts like hovering in the Netherlands. By lifting bicycle and pedestrian traffic above busy roadways, cities can significantly decrease over-crowded traffic condition.

Waving Hello To Clean Energy

Cities that don’t receive enough sunlight may find an attractive alternative in wave power. Since ocean waves rarely experience disruption(中断), electric engines driven by their clockwork push-and-pull can reliably provide power throughout the year. Further, thanks to advances in wave power technology, engineers have been able to move wave power engines farther offshore, where the waves pack the most punch, making the engines extremely efficient. So in the future, heavily populated coastal cities may use wave to meet their energy needs.

1.What is the special infill used to do?

A. To make the trees beautiful.

B. To produce electricity.

C. To help the trees’ swaying.

D. To collect water from rainfall.

2.How do the Netherlands improve the city traffic according to the text?

A. By updating the city roadway condition.

B. By building walking passages underground.

C. By creating suspended roundabouts above roadways.

D. By supporting more biking and walking.

3.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?

A. The advantages of wave power.

B. The ways to use wave power.

C. The future of wave power.

D. The advances in wave power technology.

Don’t hesitate. It’ll be great fun.

Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Center.

The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.

Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”, and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.

“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between their twenties and forties who isn’t physically active became active 3 times per week, they would reduce their risks of depression by about 16%.” says Dr Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.

Professor Mark, Director of the Public Health Research Center, said, “Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggest it also has a positive effect on a person’s mental well-being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.”

1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression.

B. To introduce a research on the link between activity and depression.

C. To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity.

D. To describe the disadvantages of physical activity.

2.According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, ________.

A. their depressive symptoms will be fewer

B. their depressive symptoms will be more

C. they will become much younger

D. they will become more depressive

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Dr. Snehal thinks it important to be both physically and mentally healthy.

B. The research shows men are more active in physical activities than women.

C. Adults who insist on physical activity will reduce depression completely.

D. Increasing physical activities can free people from depression in a way.

4.The author shows his view mainly by ________.

A. doing research

B. comparing and contrasting

C. trying on himself

D. discussing and summarizing

Lucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.

For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 "slices" of Lucy's skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.

The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy's right humerus(肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.

The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself — but that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.

The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.

That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. "There are countless explanations for bone breaks," Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, "The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable." Johanson said it was more likely that Lucy's breaks occurred long after she died, saying that "elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, It's unlikely they fell out of a tree. "

But the new research focused on "a small number of breaks" that are consistent with "high-energy bone-to-bone influences" and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, "These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death."

1.What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham's research?

A. She got her name from a song.

B. She had more than 35,000 slices.

C. She couldn't use her arms properly.

D. She made an effort to save herself.

2.What does the underlined word "plausible" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. Reasonable.B. Creative.C. Surprising.D. Unbelievable.

3.Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?

A. Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.

B. Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.

C. Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.

D. Lucy's bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.

4.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A. Lucy didn't die from falling out of a tree.

B. The newly published study was meaningless.

C. The argument on how Lucy died will continue.

D. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.
