If you've ever planned a vacation, you're familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to come. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up comparing the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesn't live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or fun events, but it's possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more.

We've all made mistakes that we’re ashamed of；reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and becoming a better person. But dwelling（细想）too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate（使等同）yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes.

If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental exercise is to always tell yourself that you’re experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment you’re given.

It certainly takes a lot of effort to push through hard times。While the nation is fighting 【1】the COVID-19 epidemic(疫情), citizens have to make changes in their daily lives. Some people decide to make small routine changes, 【2】others offer all their time and energy to help others during this crisis.

Most people take their temperatures, wear masks ,wash their hands often and don’t go out unless it’s necessary. One of 【3】(painful) changes was that many Chinese people didn’t get together 【4】(celebrate)the Spring Festival. And many schools and places of work 【5】(delay) their return data before May, however, it didn’t stop employees and students from working and studying at home.

February 10 【6】(plan) to be the first day of the new semester, students began to have online classes at home. 【7】(bored) at home, people started to learn new things to fill their time. What’s more, thousands of 【8】(volunteer) are working nonstop to help deliver supplies and assist the 【9】(affect)regions.

“In reality, we’re more likely to rush in to help others than run them over to save ourselves,” wrote US psychologist Kelly Caldwell in Pacific Standard.” It’s 【10】exercise in mass healing.”

Washing machines are heavy. That’s 【1】 there’s an average of 25kg of concrete inside them to stop them moving around when they’re on a spin cycle. And that means they’re not only difficult 【2】 (move) around in your home, they also cost a lot to transport.

【3】 all this could be about to change, thanks to a simple 【4】 (invent) by a team at the UK’s Nottingham Trent University.

Professor Amin hit on the 【5】 (brilliant) simple idea of replacing some of the concrete with 【6】sealable plastic container which can be filled with water once the machine is in place. 【7】 doing this, the weight of a washing machine can 【8】 (cut) by a third. In the UK alone, this could mean a saving of around 45,000 tonnes (公吨) of carbon dioxide emissions a year when the machines are transported, 【9】 is really a piece of good news to the environment.

“Everyone thinks the idea must have been thought of before,” says Dylan Knight. “No one can really believe it. But it will definitely work when 【10】 (put) into use.”

现在网络媒体过多关注明星(celebrities)绯闻，而对于科学家及真正对社会进步做出巨大贡献的人们关注和报道不足。请各举一例说明此现象，并谈谈你的看法。

【1】我突然想起我忘记通知他们考试的时间地点了。 (occur)

Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains, “What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level. Plus, it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet.”

A recent report details the health benefits of walking. The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week, recommended by the UK’s chief medical officer, could save 37,000 lives each year. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running. They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%, while running reduced it by 4.5%. And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily, according to research by Oregon State University. The study by days could help you sleep easily. The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.

The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body. So, go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.
