According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
1 , if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and
be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you'll be able
to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to. 2 , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle”or “I rode
the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.
3 ? If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help
you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 4 .
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always
gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬). 5 . Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have
to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here?”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most

Swap, Don't Shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right?But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and
paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads
of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what
to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on
your bedroom floor? 1 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes
from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event,
and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do!Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 2 , and there may not be
enough things to choose from;more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
● 3 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new”
clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 4 . Place a few
mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.

One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes
before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.
5 . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A.Less people than that
B.Hold a clothing swap
C.If two people are competing
D.Just keep music playing throughout
E.Donate whatever clothes are left over
F.Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it...to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and
too far out of reach. 1 Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right
direction.
● 2 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you
follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life
is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this
world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our
shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 3 You will make mistakes, time and time
again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer
yourself a compassionate(有同情心的) response? “That didn't go as planned. But, I tried
my best.”
●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your
brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and
achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 4
●Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your
journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now,
read these words back to yourself. 5 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of
strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?
A.Feeling upset again?
B.Where do you start?
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember, you are only human.
E.Set an intention for self-acceptance.

Emoji(表情符号)and Workplace Communication
In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of
millions, both at work and play. 1 . It's been reported that 76 percent of employees in
some western countries are using emojis at work.
Written communications can often read as cold and dull. Using emojis can add
humor and feeling, keeping intention clear. 2 , encouraging better and more frequent
communication.
In any given office, employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond, and finding
common ground in communication style can be a challenge. 3 . While the younger
generations prefer to communicate visually, for those used to working with traditional tools
like email, it may feel like a learning curve(曲线). The good news is that it's simple to
learn and can be worth the effort.
There is also the matter of tone(语气). Who hasn't received an email so annoying
that it ruined an entire day? 4 . Emoji can help communication feel friendlier, and
even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.
5 , and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome. And when your
employees begin adding smiling emojis to their business communication, you'll know you
have succeeded in improving your work culture.
A.Messages with emojis feel more conversational
B.Even a formal email can seem cold and unfriendly
C.Sending smiling faces to colleagues may seem strange
D.The popularity of these platforms is spreading globally
E.Giving employees the tools enables them to communicate honestly
F.Studies show that friendlier communication leads to a happier workplace
G.An easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform

A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house
or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 1 And it is a
good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.
2 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores. Some common things people will put on

a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn't a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the
new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.
3 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a
housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a
housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 4
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 5 Now
most homes have central heating and don't use fires to keep warm.
A.This isn't usual though.
B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
D.If you're lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.
E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.
F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.
G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 1
According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping
area is good.
2 If the air you're breathing is clean—which it would be if you're away from
the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you
exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more
oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉)and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and
healing(治愈). 3 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their
recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower
blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital
patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than
patients who see buildings or sky instead. 4 It gives us a great feeling of peace.
5 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial
vitamin D. To make sure you get enough vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on
sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start
working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of vitamin D.
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B.So what are you waiting for?
C.Being in nature refreshes us.
D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should I jump?”This is what motivation or the lack of
it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 1 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
2 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your
weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are
times when your heart is not in your work. 3 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity (清晰) of thoughts can help
you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths.
Remember that goals are flexible. 4 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good
enough. 5 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make
sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work.
B.So how should you motivate yourself?
C.However, this should not discourage you.
D.So why should we try to set specific goals?
E.They can change according to circumstances.
F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.

In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important. 1 While I have only listed two of each, there
are obviously many other situations that can arise. Students should be able to extend the logic(逻辑) of each to their particular circumstance.
Do's
● 2 Questions about subject content are generally welcomed. Before asking questions about the course design, read the syllabus(教学大纲) and
learning management system information to be sure the answer isn't hiding in plain sight.
●Participate in discussion forums(论坛), blogs and other open-ended forums for dialogue. 3 Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant
information. Make a point, and make it safe for others to do the same.
Don'ts
●Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses, financial aid experts or your best friends. If you are in need of a
deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor. 4
●Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 5 When a student attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually
says more about the student. If there is truly a concern about a professor's professionalism or ability, be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer
your comments.
A.That's what they are for.
B.Turn to an online instructor for help.
C.If more information is needed, they will ask.
D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.
E.Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.
F.Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.

Color is fundamental in home design—something you'll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the
first steps to creating rooms you'll love to live in. Do you want a room that's full of life?Professional?Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a
long day? 1 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 2 , they can get a little complex.
But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home:the small ones, the medium ones, and the
large ones.
3 . They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring
than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily
changeable.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 4 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller
ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and
relative expense put into it are significant. 5 .
A.While all of them are useful
B.Whatever you're looking for
C.If you're experimenting with a color
D.Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E.It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F.So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time

If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 1
Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.
●Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 2
●Your metabolism(新陈代谢)gets a head start. 3 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里)burning benefits for
the whole day, not in your sleep.
● 4 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it
is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.
● 5 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would
want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food?You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out!You will

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything
else in between.
1 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the
time.
“I adore dancing,”says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.”Bridges runs
dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. 2 It's great to watch them. For many of them, it's a way of meeting people and having a
social life.”
3 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They're learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits
and they leave with a smile. 4 ”

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes,
were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 1
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 2 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a
long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of
sunburn and the doctor's bill for my son's food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 3 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds
and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
4 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is
a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
5 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A.This time there was no tent.
B.Things are going to be improved.
C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done. 1 , there are several ways to handle things. Let's take
a look at them now.
2 . Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.
When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then. 3 . It
can help to eliminate(消除)future interruptions.
When you need to talk to someone, don't do it in your own office. 4 , it's much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you
try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.
If you have a door to your office, make good use of it. 5 . If someone knocks and it's not an important matter, excuse yourself and let the person
know you're busy so they can get the hint(暗示)that when the door is closed, you're not to be disturbed.

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a
cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管)worked. 2 Our building even had a tiny lift
with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much
use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food
and never gain weight. 3 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
4 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe
small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 5 When
do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of
companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

You've got mail...and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his
mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria
Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 1
“I often send postcards to family and friends,”he says to China Daily, “but you
can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize
that not everyone is into it. 2 ”Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo
started looking in a somewhat unlikely place:online. Many would say the Internet is a
place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch(直
觉)paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing. com, a social network
that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it
10 years ago. 3 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide,
a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other.
As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work
if one doesn't understand it. 4 So a common language is required and in postcrossing
that's English since it's widely spoken.
“Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 5 That said, we
know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their
English skills through their use of postcrossing,”Paulo says.

reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical
children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 3
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover
cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 4 I learned a lot about
how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who
wanted to make things with me.
5 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be
with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They're all memories I
treasure today.
A.I wasn't alone any longer.
B.I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C.I was invited to play with another kid.
D.I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E.Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F.Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G.My older brother couldn't be bothered to play with me.

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 1 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must
master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the
“public” at the expense of the “speaking.” 2 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's
attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake
unless it's a truly serious one. 3
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 4 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes
practice their skills on a consistent basis.
5 It's rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably can't count the times that you've
thought,“I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than
anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A.Do the opposite.
B.You want to be an effective public speaker.

Much of the work in today's world is accomplished(完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of
the most talented individuals. 1 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?
2 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a
good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team's performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this
trend isn't evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance.
To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调)
their actions. 3 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high,
team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence
is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball
to a teammate, affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told,“There is no I in TEAM.” 4
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),
whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
5 An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.
A.It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 1 At
that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the
Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 2 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music
scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney
were named composers of the year.
3 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of
fans jammed the airport to greet them. 4 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that
time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered
as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 5
A.They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B.Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
C.Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.
D.However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.
E.Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.
F.They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night (1964) and Help! (1965).
G.They performed their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.

Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various.
Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The
main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our
assessment of situations. 1
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take
hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples:being cut off in traffic, a deadline
approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 2 The reason why someone is
triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and
psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have
personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more
likely to get angry. 3 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting
condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
4 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger
itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative(消极的)outlooks on situations can create anger.
5 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for
anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we
can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by
comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to
reduce it.
D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to
feel angry.
E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the
background of your mind.
F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate
ourselves with a critical eye.
G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one
person may or may not trigger another.

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 1
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 2 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing(加强)
connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making
room for fresh memories to form the next day. 3
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 4 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent
smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new
information—our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some
synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 5 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A.We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B.It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C.Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D.The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E.That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F.“Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G.Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 1 But with
these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
·When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten
general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask,“Why do you think environmental
protection is important in America?” 2
·Hit the streets with confidence. 3 Say,“Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this
topic.”This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
·Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don't get discouraged.
· 4 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next
person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won't be
able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 5
·If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don't leave work without them.
A.Limit your time.
B.As you approach people, be polite.
C.If you don't own a camera, you can buy one.
D.For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.

Five leadership fundamentals from Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the best player in the game of basketball. His
leadership on the court can be translated and used effectively in the workplace. 1 .
Adjust to adversity(逆境)
Jordan as a player was known for his tireless work and willingness to make
adjustments to defeat opponents(对手). 2 . It's important to understand the challenge,
analyze it and figure out what tools and methods are needed to overcome the roadblock.
3
As Jordan says, “ Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win
championships.” Early in Jordan's career, he tried to do everything by himself, and while
he made great personal achievements, it did not make him into the elusive(难以实现
的)championship. Jordan's attitude to teamwork also applies to business: to be successful,
you have to work together as a team—intelligently—to achieve your goal. A talented
individual can only do so much. It's the team that gets it done.
Believe in yourself
Michael Jordan had belief in his abilities and unshakable confidence in achieving his
goals. Leadership requires enduring confidence and an understanding of who you are. 4
.
Do your best
Michael Jordan's devotion to trying to win was unquestionable. 5 . Leadership
calls for doing your best and accepting that failure is part of the process. High
performing teams need psychological safety, and that cannot be achieved if your team
fears failure and doesn't take risks. In Jordan's words: “I can accept failure, but I can't
accept not trying.”
Learn from your mistakes
“Learning is a gift, even when pain is your teacher,” Jordan says. There is always
a lesson that is instructive for the future. Those learned mistakes allow for gradual
improvements.
A.As a leader, you have to make adjustments and learn how to overcome the difficulties
B.That means often reflecting on yourself and knowing your strengths as well as your
weaknesses
C.Here are five lessons from Jordan that tell you what leaders need to do to win
D.Hold on to your goal
E.Work together

Friendships: Enrich your life and improve your health
Friendships can have a major impact on your health and well-being. 1
Understanding the importance of friendships in your life and what you can do to develop
and nurture friendships may help you a lot.
2 Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad
times. Friends prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship,
too. Adults with strong social support have a reduced risk of many significant health
problems, including depression, high blood pressure and an unhealthy body mass index
(BMI). Studies have even found that older adults with a rich social life are likely to live
longer than their peers with fewer connections.
3 Friendships may take a back seat to other priorities, such as work or caring for
children or aging parents. You and your friends may have grown apart due to changes in
your lives or interests. Or maybe you've moved to a new community and haven't yet
found a way to meet people.
Developing and maintaining healthy friendships involves giving and taking. 4 Other
times you're on the receiving end. Letting friends know you care about them and
appreciate them can help strengthen your bond. It's as important for you to be a good
friend as it is to surround yourself with good friends.
Investing time in making friends and strengthening your friendships can pay off in
better health and a brighter outlook for years to come. 5
A.Good friends are good for your health.
B.Sometimes you're the one giving support.
C.Maintaining friendships can be a challenge.
D.But it's not always easy to build or maintain friendships.
E.Friends also play a significant role in promoting your health.
F.It's never too late to build new friendships or reconnect with old friends.
G.However, many people find it hard to develop new friendships or keep up existing
friendships.
