While sweat serves as the built-in air conditioner, sweating it out can have many: other surprising health
benefits. 1
It Eases Pain
Did you wake up with back pain? 2 Then the best way to relieve your pain is to work up a sweat. It
might be very tempting to skip this step since pain will make you want to sit still. But actually increasing your heart
rate and working up a sweat is one of the best things you can do for your pain while sitting around will just make
you even more stiff and sore.
It Gets Rid of Toxins(毒素)
Our bodies are subject to a lot of toxins throughout our everyday lives. 3 Sweating is a great way to
expel (排出) those toxins from the body, which serves to better your immune system. It can also help get rid of
substances like alcohol and salt.
4
Along with the sense of accomplishment from working out, working up a sweat releases endorphins (内啡肽),
which make you happy. Sweating helps relieve stress and promote relaxation. Next time you’re feeling stressed out
or need a break to clear your mind, think about hitting up a hot yoga class or taking a few minutes for yourself in
the sauna (桑拿) to ease your mind,
It Helps You Avoid Kidney Stones
One of the lesser-known benefits of sweating is that it lowers the risk of getting kidney (肾) stones. Research
has shown that sweating helps you get rid of salt and keep calcium in your bones. 5 The more frequently

There are hundreds of genres (流派) of music, so while some might like one kind, others might like something
completely different. Why do people like different kinds of music?
6 At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture, especially one that
shares an interest in a certain kind of music.
Music can also be nostalgic, that is, it creates a kind of longing for the past. Musicians leave behind a footprint
with their music. 7 Even long after the musicians are gone, people still find something in the musicians’
recordings that they can enjoy.
We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was a song that someone
sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories. 8
When we listen to music that we like, a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released in the brain, which
can make us feel good. 9 There are some algorithms (算法) today that can help pick up on the kind of
music we like. When we are streaming music, some programs will let us like or dislike songs.
People’s taste in music can remain the same in their whole life or it can change many times. But the truth is,
we don’t know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds of music — or sports, or food, or colors.
10 We are all different people who like different things.
A．It’s music to our ears.
B．Music can be a part of our identity.
C．It becomes a mirror that we are holding up.
D．They leave a permanent mark in people’s lives.
E．Therefore, we might want to listen to a song on repeat.F．Other times, we might find music can bring up sad memories.
G．There are lots of different factors that can influence our preferences.
【答案】6．B 7．D 8．F 9．E 10．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐对人们的影响。
6．根据后文“At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture, especially one that
shares an interest in a certain kind of music.(与此同时，音乐也可以帮助我们感觉自己是一个团体或文化的一
部分，尤其是对某种音乐有共同兴趣的人)”可知，后文提到了音乐对自身其他方面的影响，故本句是在说
明音乐可以成为身体的一部分，故B选项“音乐可以成为我们身份的一部分”符合语境，故选B。
7．根据上文“Musicians leave behind a footprint with their music.(音乐家在音乐中留下了足迹)”可知，上文
提到了音乐家，D选项They指代上文Musicians。故D选项“他们在人们的生活中留下了永久的印记”符
合语境，故选D。
8．根据上文“We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was a song
that someone sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories.(我们可能还会发现，我们喜欢的音乐
与我们的记忆密切相关。也许在我们小的时候，有人给我们唱过一首歌，勾起了我们美好的回忆)”可知，
上文提到音乐可以勾起美好回忆，同样也能唤起悲伤的回忆。故F选项“其他时候，我们可能会发现音乐
能唤起悲伤的回忆”符合语境，故选F。
9．根据上文“When we listen to music that we like, a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released in the
brain, which can make us feel good.(当我们听自己喜欢的音乐时，大脑中有时会释放一种叫做多巴胺的化学
物质，它能让我们感觉良好)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出喜欢的音乐让我们感觉良好，所以喜
欢重复听。故E选项“因此，我们可能想要重复听一首歌”符合语境，故选E。
10．根据上文“But the truth is, we don’t know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds of music
— or sports, or food, or colors.(但事实是，我们并不知道人们为什么喜欢不同种类的音乐、运动、食物或颜
色的确切答案)”可知，本句承接上文说明影响偏好的因素很多，无法确定。故G选项“有很多不同的因素
可以影响我们的偏好”符合语境，故选G。

Timothy Harrison had planned to attend his high school graduation. He’d even told his manager who runs a Waffle
House (a kind of cake shop) that he would take time off. But when the day began, Harrison found himself unable to
go there. 11 Because his family members were working, no one could drive him there. Much to the
surprise of his manager Cedric Hampton, Harrison showed up at the Waffle House.
12 First, he didn’t have a way to get to the graduation. Besides, he’d missed out on picking up his

Do Lobsters Feel Pain?
The traditional method for cooking a lobster (龙虾) — boiling it alive — raises the question of whether or not
lobsters feel pain. 16 . Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lobster increases the
risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor. However, if lobsters are capable of feeling pain, the method and
others, such as storing the live lobster on ice, raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.
17 . Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans, but instead of a single brain, they possess nerve
cluster (神经簇). Because of this difference, some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎
动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response. Lobsters guard their
injuries, learn to avoid dangerous situations, respond to anesthetics, and are believed to possess some level of
consciousness. So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
18 , so it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice. Currently, boiling lobsters
alive is illegal in Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.
The most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes a lobster, making it
unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. 19 .
Unfortunately, the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford. Some restaurants
place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours, during which time it loses
consciousness and dies. 20 , but it is probably the most humane option for killing a lobster before cooking
and eating it.
A．This solution is not ideal
B．And then, it can be cut apart or boiled
C．Lobsters are popular food in many countries
D．There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel pain
E．Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel pain
F．Many restaurants choose more humane methods to cook it
G．This cooking way is used to improve humans’ dining experience
【答案】16．G 17．E 18．D 19．B 20．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一直以来科学家们对龙虾是否会感到疼痛持不同意见，现在越来
越多的证据表明，龙虾可能会感到疼痛，因此一些国家禁止将龙虾活煮或放在冰上，推荐使用更人道的水
产品电击器处理龙虾，一些无力负担该工具的餐馆则尽量选择其他人道的方式进行处理。
16．前文“The traditional method for cooking a lobster (龙虾) — boiling it alive — raises the question of whether
or not lobsters feel pain. (传统的烹饪龙虾的方法——活煮龙虾——引发了龙虾是否会感到疼痛的问题)”引入
传统活煮龙虾的话题，后文“Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lobster increases the
risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor. (龙虾死后很快就会变质，吃死龙虾会增加患病的风险，并
降低其味道的质量)”具体解释采用这种烹饪方式的原因，因此G项“This cooking way is used to improve
humans’ dining experience (这种烹饪方式被用来改善人类的用餐体验)”符合语境，承接前文，概括后文的具
体解释，其中的This cooking way指代前文的boiling it alive。故选G。17．空处位于段首，需引出段落内容。根据后文的“Because of this difference, some researchers argue
lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. (由于这种差异，一些研究人员认为龙虾与脊
椎动物太不相似了，感觉不到疼痛)”和“So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
(因此，大多数科学家认为，伤害龙虾会导致身体疼痛)”可知，本段主要介绍了对龙虾是否会感到疼痛的两
种不同意见，因此E项“Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel pain (科学家们对龙虾是否会感到
疼痛持不同意见)”符合语境，统领后文内容，其中的feel pain和后文的feel pain是同词复现。故选E。
18．空处位于段首，需引出段落内容。后文“so it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them
on ice (因此，现在将龙虾活煮或放在冰上是违法的)”指出活煮龙虾或把龙虾放在冰上被禁止，因此D项
“There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel pain (越来越多的证据表明，龙虾可能会感到疼痛)”符合语
境，解释后文被禁止的原因。故选D。
19．前文“The most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes a lobster,
making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. (煮龙虾最人道的工具是水产品电
击器。这种装置可以电击龙虾，让它在不到半秒的时间内失去意识，或者在5到10秒内杀死它)”介绍了使
用水产品电击器来处理龙虾的方式，因此B项“And then, it can be cut apart or boiled (然后，它可以被切开
或煮)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的it指代前文的a lobster。故选B。
20．前文“Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours, during
which time it loses consciousness and dies. (一些餐馆把龙虾放在塑料袋里，放在冰箱里几个小时，在这段时
间里，龙虾失去知觉，死亡)”介绍了一些无力负担水产品电击器的餐馆处理龙虾的方法，后文“but it is
probably the most humane option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it (但在烹饪和食用龙虾之前杀死
它可能是最人性化的选择)”对这种方法做出了评价，因此A项“This solution is not ideal (这个解决方案并不
理想)”符合语境，承接前文，和后文形成转折。故选A。

How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go as planned, but being
resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.
Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you
have at the time. 21 They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own
experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you’re born with, rather than through training and being
confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when
something goes wrong. They’re thinking about how to solve the problem.
22 when we learn to problem solve for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help,
it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being
resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make
you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. 23 This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel
about yourself.
When you’re facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think
about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as youcan. 24 Finally, review what has and hasn’t worked, so you’re equipped to deal with a situation next
time.
And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.
25
A．You also learn what you’re good at.
B．Here is how you can be more resourceful.
C．These may be practical things like pens and paper.
D．No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves.
E．Resourcefulness is a skill that’s good for you in lots of ways.
F．They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.
G．Weigh up what’s good and bad about each one and choose the best.
【答案】21．F 22．E 23．A 24．G 25．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了遇到棘手的问题时的应对方法，要足智多谋，随机应变。
21．根据前句“Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever
resources you have at the time. (足智多谋意味着找到聪明和创造性的方法来解决问题，利用你当时拥有的任
何资源。)”和后句“They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own
experience. (它们也可以是任何有用的东西，比如信息、建议或你自己的经历。)”中的also可知，空处和下
文为并列关系，也是在列举可以利用的资源可能是什么。所以选择项F“These may be famous mottos that
always inspire us to move on. (这些可能是著名的座右铭，总是激励我们继续前进。)”符合上下文语境。故选
F。
22．挖空处在段首，有可能是段落的主旨句。而后面“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more
independent, and feel better about making decisions.(它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决
定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you
can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免
问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”主要说的是“being
resourceful”带来的好处， E选项意思就是resourcefulness 能带来很多好处。故选E。
23．该段首句说的是“being resourceful”会对你有好处，前面两句“…it can help to build our confidence, help
us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(...它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更
独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively
about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不
能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”具体列举了
“being resourceful”带来的好处，A选项：你还能知道你所擅长的是什么，对自己更加了解，也契合下一句
“This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.这能提高自尊心。这是又一个好处，A项最符
合语境。故选A。
24．该段在讨论遇到困难时，要专注于问题本身，并列出了具体的步骤。上一句“Next, think up as many
solutions to the problem as you can.(接下来，想出尽可能多的方法来解决问题)”讲的是“尽可能多地想出一
些解决措施”，G选项：然后衡量它们的好坏，选出最佳的一个，其中them指代上一句solutions，G项填到此处最合适。故选G。
25．上一句“And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for
help.(记住，如果你有一个棘手的问题，你无法解决，然后向一个值得信任的成年人寻求帮助)”表示自己实
在解决不了，你还可以求助其他人，D选项意为“没有人是被期望要独自解决所有问题的”，与上文意义
一致。故填D。

Do you sometimes wish there was a quick and easy way to do your homework? Well a new artificial
intelligence technology has been released and people are concerned that it could lead to students cheating on their
work.
ChatGPT is an online service which can not only answer questions but also write realistic school essays just
like humans. 26 .
But what exactly is ChatGPT and how could it affect the future of homework? ChatGPT was released late last
year by company OpenAI, which was founded by Elon Musk. 27 , answering questions from the user. The
online chatbot has been trained on lots of information and data from the internet - it can have a human-like
conversation answering questions, admitting mistakes and rejecting any inappropriate questions.
Experts say it can be used to write essays, stories, poems and even solve computer coding. 28 , which
OpenAI admit. Sometimes it writes answers which are incorrect or don’t make sense, and it occasionally guesses
what the user has asked it, rather than asking more follow-up questions to understand the question better.
What are people saying about it?
29 . Some think students might use it to cheat whereas others think they should use the tool in the
classroom to help children learn.
30 . They argue that, just like when the calculator or Google were created, people were unsure at first,
but if teachers introduce the technology and teach pupils the benefits but also the downfalls that could help their
learning.
There are the problems with ChatGPT. CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman tweeted last year: “ChatGPT is
incredibly limited…it’s a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now.”
A．But there are limits to what it can do
B．ChatGPT is an easy way for students to write an essay
C．ChatGPT is getting mixed reviews from people
D．The technology chats in a conversational way
E．It also isn’t always accurate as well
F．Some people have suggested that the software should be welcomed
G．Teachers are worried that students may use it to cheat
【答案】26．B 27．D 28．A 29．C 30．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了聊天机器人ChatGPT，作者认为人工智能还有很长的路要走。
26．根据上文“ChatGPT is an online service which can not only answer questions but also write realistic schoolessays just like humans. (ChatGPT是一个在线服务，不仅可以回答问题，还可以像人类一样写实际的学校论
文。)”可知，此处介绍了ChatGPT的功能之一是可以写论文。B项“ChatGPT is an easy way for students to
write an essay. (ChatGPT是学生写文章的一种简单方法。)”补充解释了这一功能，符合语境。故选B。
27．根据下文“it can have a human-like conversation answering questions, admitting mistakes and rejecting any
inappropriate questions. (它可以进行类似人类的对话，回答问题或拒绝任何不适合的问题。)”可知，这个在
线聊天机器人可以与人类进行对话。D项“The technology chats in a conversational way .( 这项技术以对话
的方式聊天。)”符合语境，承接下文“answering questions from the user(回答用户的问题)”。故选D。
28．根据上文“Experts say it can be used to write essays, stories, poems and even solve computer coding. (专家
表示，它可以用来写文章、故事、诗歌，甚至解决电脑编码问题。)”以及下文“Sometimes it writes answers
which are incorrect or don’t make sense (有时它会写出不正确或没有意义的答案)”可知，上文介绍了ChatGPT
的优点，下文介绍了它的局限，所以此处表示转折，引出ChatGPT的缺点。A项“But there are limits to
what it can do. (但它所能做的是有限的。)”符合语境。故选A。
29．根据上文“What are people saying about it? (关于它人们是怎么说的？)”以及下文“Some think students
might use it to cheat whereas others think they should use the tool in the classroom to help children learn. (一些人
认为学生可能会用它来作弊，而另一些人则认为他们应该在课堂上使用这个工具来帮助孩子学习。)”可
知，此处介绍人们对于ChatGPT的看法，人们的看法各不相同。C项“ChatGPT is getting mixed reviews
from people. (人们对ChatGPT的评价褒贬不一。)”符合语境。故选C。
30．根据下文“They argue that, just like when the calculator or Google were created, people were unsure at first,
but if teachers introduce the technology and teach pupils the benefits but also the downfalls that could help their
learning. (他们认为，就像计算器或谷歌被创造出来时一样，人们一开始也不确定，但如果教师引入这项技
术，并教给学生好处和坏处，这将有助于他们的学习。)”可知，本段介绍了随着新事物的出现，认清它们
的优缺点会对人们有帮助。F项“Some people have suggested that the software should be welcomed .( 一些人
建议应该欢迎这个软件。)”最能概括本段内容。故选F。

Painting
The art of creating pictures using colors, shapes and lines is called painting. Museums and galleries show the
paintings of professional artists. But painting is also a popular form of entertainment and creative expression.
31 Experienced painters usually use a brush to apply oil paints to a canvas cloth surface. Young
painters usually use watercolors on pieces of paper. Very young children may use finger-paints to create paintings.
Painters can use their art to express devotion to a religion, to tell a story, to express feelings and ideas, or
simply to present a pleasing picture. Religious paintings often show a god or a scene from a sacred text. Other
common subjects have been famous legends and events in history, as well as scenes from daily life. Artists also
paint portraits (肖像), or pictures of people. 32 All of these types of paintings show the human figure in
some way.
Some kinds of paintings do not focus on people. In landscape (风景) paintings, the focus is on scenes from
nature. Artists also paint still objects such as fruit and vegetables. 33 Some artists communicate theirideas through pictures that do not represent any objects.
34 Paintings dating back 15,000 years have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.
35 Samples of painted pottery (陶器) from at least 5,000 years ago have been found in China and
Iran. The ancient Egyptians decorated their temples with beautiful paintings. People in ancient Greece painted on
decorative objects such as vases in addition to the walls of temples.
A．These works are called still lives.
B．These works can communicate a special feeling.
C．Humans have been making paintings for thousands of years.
D．People of all ages create pictures using a variety of materials.
E．Cave paintings generally show animals that early humans hunted.
F．The design of a painting is the plan of its lines, shapes and colors.
G．Sometimes artists make portraits of themselves, which are called self-portraits.
【答案】31．D 32．G 33．A 34．C 35．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了绘画的不同形式。
31．根据后句“Experienced painters usually use a brush to apply oil paints to a canvas cloth surface. Young
painters usually use watercolors on pieces of paper. Very young children may use finger-paints to create paintings.
(有经验的画家通常用刷子在帆布表面涂上油画颜料。年轻的画家通常在纸上画水彩。很小的孩子可能会用
手指画画。)”可知，不同绘画水平的人、各个年龄段的人用各种各样的材料创作图画，故选项D“People of
all ages create pictures using a variety of materials.(所有年龄段的人都用各种各样的材料创作图片)”符合本段
的主题，为本段主题句。故选D。

Have you ever done something that you didn’t really want to do, just because other people were doing it?
36 . When we do this, we’re not being true to ourselves.
What is being true to yourself?
Being true to yourself means listening to your own thoughts and feelings. 37 , then being true to
yourself might mean saying no to friends who want you to play. Or if there’s a game that your friends are doing that
you don’t enjoy, then being true to yourself might mean doing something else instead. Being true to yourself is
when your actions match how you really feel.
38
When we keep doing things we don’t like and ignore our thoughts and feelings, it can make us feel
uncomfortable, worried or sad. Naomi Richards, a children’s life coach said, “Children need to be aware of who
they are. If children have this self- awareness then they are more likely not to compromise when they are with other
people. 39 , and they will have healthy self-esteem.” Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.
How can I be true to myself?
40 , and being ok with saying no. Richards explains, “You can be true to yourself by learning how to
say ‘no’ and sticking by your beliefs.” However, she adds that being true to yourself is also about being honest with
yourself and what you want and need.

Some of us are better at helping others than we are at looking after ourselves. Maybe you are like this. Maybe
you know someone who is. These are people who-are easy to have Super-Helper Syndrome (综合征) where you
feel it is a must to help others but don’t look after your own needs. 41 , so that you can take action before
you reach a state of breakdown.
42 . Many helpers are keen on helping others despite extreme tiredness and take this for granted. Are
you tired all the time? Do you have no time for yourself? Do you suffer muscle tension or headache? Do you feel
weight down?
It may bring hate. It’s easy to say you don’t want anything in return, but the reality is that it’s hard going
indefinitely if you get little reward. At least you deserve thanks and recognition. 43 .
It may bring exploitation(剥削). If you never express any needs, then it’s easy and convenient for other
people to act as if you don’t have any. 44 . If you give the impression that you want nothing in return, you
get nothing in return. That’s why it’s important to take a hard look at whether some of the people you are helping
are exploiting you.

Are you trying to figure out what to write about for your college application essay? To help you get started in
the essay writing process, here are a few suggestions that can help you work through it.
Identify key themes you want to convey.
Are there two or three things you want to make sure the readers of your application know about? In answering
this question, go beyond the obvious. Don’t just repeat information that can be found elsewhere in your application.46
Reflect on your most memorable life experiences.
47 A group of students just returned from a two-week tour of Europe with great pictures and
wonderful stories. Two years from now, when they begin writing their college applications, they should reflect less
on where they went and what they saw, but reflect more on how some aspects of the experience shaped them.
48
You might rack your brain all day trying to come up with clever ideas, but the best stuff emerges in those
misty, subconscious moments just before you sleep! Push back the sleep long enough to write down your new
inspirations immediately.
Reveal—don’t tell.
It is best not to recite the facts of your life directly. 49 Not long ago, a college professor told college
applicants that US colleges value diversity of thought in their classrooms. The application essay is your opportunity
to reveal that element of diversity that can be found uniquely within you.
Read a lot!
Quite often, essay writers are limited in their ability to understand their place in the world in which they live.
Break out of that shell by reading news stories and editorials. 50 Biographies are also great sources! I
have found increasing inspiration from the life stories of people who have risen from relative obscurity(默默无闻)
to make significant contributions as thinkers and doers.
A．How have they shaped you?
B．How can you overcome them?
C．Correct the mistakes again and again.
D．Better yet, read books that make you think.
E．Keep a pen or pencil and paper beside your bed.
F．Instead, take the readers to understand you between the lines.
G．Take the opportunity to provide the most important messages.

borrow anything, return it in due time. If you accidentally break their things, replace them without being asked to.
54 You could offer to babysit your neighbors’ kids, help with snow removals or even keep an eye on
their home when they’re away. Such acts of reaching out to your neighbors make for stronger relationships.
As Emma Seppälä put it, “social connectedness generates a positive feedback loop (圈) of social, emotional
and physical well-being.” It feels so easy to just stay home without having to engage with your neighbors butconnecting with them is worth the effort. 55
