How to ease the “smell of toil”
Recently, the “smell of toil (班味)” has become a popular topic among the young. Some people joke about
how their once good-looking faces now look tired and pale, with dull eyes and thinning hair. The “smell of toil” can
come from work pressure, worries about the future, and not having enough personal freedom. It appears in every
corner of our daily work: in the office, on the bus, by the roadside... This seems a big and annoying challenge.
36
Embrace yourself and experience new things.
The first step to feeling better is to accept yourself, no matter what you have experienced during work time
or how toughly your boss always treat you. Maybe you are discouraged by your work schedule. Be proud of who
you are, and don’t be scared to try new things. 3 7 But if you don’t try, you won’t know what you’re able to
do. To some degree, only by going through something you have never tried, can you find your potential.
Separate work from personal life.
3 8 It’s no secret that our jobs can have a substantial impact on our lives outside work including our
body health and emotions. Thus, it’s of vital importance to create a clear line between the two. After work, don’t let
your job bother you and enjoy your personal time.
3 9
Instead of spending your lunch break looking at your phone, take a short walk or spend 20 minutes in a park.
Being in nature, even for a little while, can make you feel more energetic and less stressed. Also, you can engage in
energizing activities after work, such as jogging, working out in the gym. Of course, a piece of soft music or a
calming film when you have a rest can somewhat ease your smell of toil.
Don’t delay tasks and focus on rest.
Many people put off their tasks when they get home, but delaying things only creates more stress. 40
Also, quit unnecessary social events if you feel too tired. Spending time on rest will help you feel better and more
ready for the next day.
A．Arrange your break time wisely
B．Hang out in a park
C．But there are various ways to help people ease such a “smell”D．Try to finish small tasks quickly
E．One reason why people feel tired is that they mix work and personal life
F．Sometimes you are stopped from trying something new because of fear
G．Experiencing different things helps develop positive mindsets

Cultivating good practices and integrating them into your daily routine can make you a far more dynamic,
efficient, and productive writer. In fact, making a few small adjustments can make all the difference.
Write Every Day
Try to write every day without fail. 36 Depending on your schedule and other commitments, an hour
a day five or six days a week would be a good starting point. If your time is especially limited, try to organize your
thoughts and develop an idea of what you want to write beforehand so it saves “thinking” time when the
opportunity comes to sit down at the computer.
37
This means filing away everything you write in a logical order so you can easily find it again later, and
regularly backing up your files to avoid losing anything. Make to-do lists so you don’t forget anything important,
prioritize time-sensitive projects, and keep detailed records of everything you submit.
Create Clear Goals
38 Put forward a strategy that will give you the best chance of getting there. One inescapable
commitment is word count. You should always aim to work smarter, not harder, but as a writer, you won’t get very
far if you don’t write.
Read Widely
Try to set aside a reading period — half an hour immediately before you go to sleep, for example — and
stick to it. Don’t just read your favorite types, but read everything you can get your hands on. Study the various
techniques and styles you come across. 39 You can learn just as much from bad writing as you can from
good writing.
Keep Records
Life is happening all around you, so document as much of it as you can. You never know when inspiration
will strike. While a great many writers still prefer the old “pen and notepad” approach, you can just easily write
notes using an app on your smartphone or even email them to yourself. When you have an idea for a story, write itdown immediately. 40
A．Be Organized
B．Submit Files on Time
C．It doesn’t even have to be for long.
D．Don’t trust yourself to remember it later.
E．Make notes about what works and what doesn’t.
F．Think seriously about what you want to accomplish.
G．Good writing begins with a deep understanding of your subject.

Things to Remember When Booking a Group Tour
When it comes to travelling abroad, many people opt to take part in a group tour to get the most out of their
holiday. However, there are always a few details to deal with before you book your trip. 36 Thankfully,
travel expert Dilvin Yasa has shared her tips for booking a group tour.
● 37 When planning a group tour, you need to put expense first. It’s important to “read the itinerary

everyone has the necessary contact information, including emergency contacts and travel insurance details. Having
a portable charger or power bank can also be handy to keep devices powered up.

when travelling to more remote locations, or if you’re visiting smaller food stands or markets, you shouldn’t
assume everywhere will take card payments. Yasa said, “Make sure you have local currency on you at all times and
you’re good to go.”

Loneliness is a feeling of being isolated or disconnected from others. In a world so big, it can be easy to feel
alone. Loneliness can happen to anyone at any time, but even so, blue feelings are never fun. 36 . And
they’re probably simpler than you may think.
Get involved in school or community activities to meet new people.
37 . Join a sports league, take a cooking or exercise class, or volunteer at the local food bank. Through
these activities you can find some people with similar passions or hobbies. And you’ll be socializing and having fun
— it’s the best of both worlds!
38 .
Sometimes, all you need is a comforting shoulder to lean on. Talk to a trusted loved one about how you’ve
been feeling. Talking about your feelings may seem daunting (令人畏惧的), but it can help you realize that you’re
not alone.

or don’t live in a bustling community, try reaching out to people on social media. 39 . Follow your interests
to choose some, and you may make some lasting connections.
Start a journal to track your thoughts and feelings.

How Wet Weather Affects Human Behavior
“It’s raining. It’s pouring. The old man is snoring (打鼾). He bumped his head when he went to bed, and he
couldn’t get up in the morning.” Why couldn’t the old man in the children’s song get up? (Let’s kindly suppose that
he just didn’t want to get up.) This was possibly because in the absence of sunlight, the body was still producing the
hormone melatonin (褪黑素),which makes people sleepy.
There are many ways that rainfall affects human behavior. 26
In 2038, researchers from the University of Minnesota and Lanzhou University published a paper. They
proposed that decreased rainfall was influential in social upheaval (社会动荡) and the downfall of the Tang, Yuan
and Ming dynasties in ancient China. This is thought to be related to reduced rice cultivation.
36 A 2039. New York Times investigation found that murder rates in New York drop significantly on
rainy days. Meanwhile, in Britain, Dr. Peter Langmead-Jones of Greater Manchester police published a study in
2023 detailing an analysis of 6.6 million police records over one decade in Manchester. “The research showed that
the heavier the rainfall, the lower the recorded crime,” he said.
37 This might be because heavy rain stops people from going out to buy alcohol and the reduced
alcohol consumption results in fewer crimes.
It’s not all good news though. One study in 2037. concluded that the behavior of children can predict
oncoming storms - they were observed to exhibit their worst behavior when barometric pressure (气压) fell. 38
Meanwhile, they report much lower levels of life satisfaction than men on rainy days.
For all the complaints about rain, it does have some characteristics that hold broad appeal: The sound of
raindrops can be very comforting and often features in sleep-inducing relaxation apps. The theory behind this is
that the pitter-patter of raindrops is a form of “pink noise.” 39 So if it’s raining where you are, the best thing
to do may be to have a nap.
A．The number of complaints is relatively low.
B．Sleep is one of the main aspects according to the former study.
C．But how might rain affect social behavior in the modern world?
D．But how much does rain really affect people’s behavior and moods?
E．It can decrease brain activity and consequently improves the quality of sleep.
F．Another study found that women are more likely to be affected psychologically by rain.
G．He also found a strong association between heavy rain and relatively few violent crimes recorded.（七）

How To Choose a Summer Science Camp?
Choosing a summer science camp is similar to choosing any others type of camp. You have the usual
considerations about cost, distance from home and amount of time. 36 For science camps, it often boils
down to figuring out what science topics are of great interest and finding a camp that does a good job of operation.
• Figure out what science topics are of great interest.
37 Perhaps they're into video games and prefer a camp where they could design one. Or they're into
hiking and look for outdoor experiences. Their hobbies are a good indicator of their interests. But younger children
might not yet have a clear one. If they don't, look for camps that offer various science topics to explore.
• 33
Good science camps allow students plenty of time to do hands-on exploration. But how much formal
education that a science camp offers varies. Camps that offer lectures might be inspirational and informative for
older students. Younger students are more likely to benefit from group projects and interactions with other campers
rather than lectures.
• Search for a camp that fits your needs.
Once you know the range of science topics the camp covers, and the level of academics, you' re ready to start
searching. Parenting websites are a great place to start to look for lists of camps. Many science museums and state
parks also link to camps with similar interests. 34
• One More Tip: Register Early!
While summer might seem a long way off, it's time to start thinking about summer camps. 38 Check
camp websites for specific camp deadlines and register ASAP!
A．It is all about finding the best fit.
B．Learn about the lecture arrangement.
C．Many top camps offer early bird discounts.
D．Determine the level of academics you want.
E．A simple search can turn up a wealth of information.
F．Older children might already have a clear preference.
G．Camp directors know if the topics are of your interest.（八）

Flying kites is a wonderful way to enjoy a windy spring or summer afternoon. If you’re eager to take your
kite to skies, here are some essential tips.
Position yourself correctly. A pleasant kite journey starts with feeling the direction of the wind. This will
help you stand with your back to the wind. Hold up your kite by the bridle (风筝提线) at about eye-level. 36
.
Once the wind has caught the kite, it is a must to make sure the line is pulled tight enough to stay straight
and firm, and then release the line properly. 37 . If you let the line out too fast, it will go loose and make the
kite fall.
Why not invite a friend to hold the kite for launch if the wind is light? You can let him or her hold the kite
and walk downwind about 15 to 30 meters away from you. 38 . As the kite gains height, it is time to pull on
the line hand over hand until it’s stable.
Adjust the bridle according to wind conditions. If your kite sinks, it indicates there’s not enough wind. 39
. On the contrary, if your kite experiences a sharp drop toward the ground, move the bridle higher up the line.
40 . Keeping some tension on the line gives you more control and keeps the kite from crashing
down to the ground. But if your kite starts to spin (旋转) during the falling process, it means the line is too tight.
You should let out the line a little to make it looser.
A．Land your kite safely
B．Pull the lines to help the kite take off
C．So lower the bridle a little down the line
D．You’ll get a good feel for how to control your kite
E．The success depends on the speed at which you do this
F．Then you'd better keep it in this position until the wind catches it.
G．A signal should be given to your partner to release it once the wind picks up

Feeling sad and empty now that a special event has past? Try the following four tips to move forward.
Embrace Your Emotions
Find a private space and allow emotions to surface. If tears of joy, sadness or frustration arise, express them.36 It may sound dramatic, but it’s a valid feeling and it’s perfectly fine to experience sorrow when something
important has ended. Remember that the intensity will pass and will do so more smoothly when the built-up
emotions have been released.
37 Whether pushing yourself to the limits in a physical challenge or spending months ensuring an
event’s success, it’s important to take time afterwards to rest your mind and body. Relax, eat nutritiously, enjoy
some gentle exercise, and go to bed early for revitalizing sleep. 43
Make Time for Reflection
38 How did it go? What did you learn? Would you do something differently next time? This period of
reflection, without dwelling too long on the matter of being self-critical, can provide valuable insights. Appreciate
what you did and recognize all the good that came from the experience. View the event as simply the end of one
chapter and the beginning of the next.
Acknowledge the Negative
If aspects of the event didn’t go as well as planned, put it down to experience. Consider if there’s anything to
be learned from it, but don’t keep going over what happened. Surrender to the thoughts and then let them go. 45
A．Rest and Revitalize
B．Address the Challenge
C．After a few days, think back over the event.
D．Emotions are a natural part of the human experience.
E．Some people feel a sense of grief after an event is over.
F．Nothing is perfect and few things live up to every expectation.
G．Embrace a sense of calm and let these simple practices melt away stress.

Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily
problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk
is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena,
people, or even the person himself. ____ 36 ____ Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks
and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems
more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and
in what they do.
____ 37 . ____ People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression andanxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also
contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships. ____ 38 ____ For example, researchers have found
that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide
a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as
a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the
contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. ____ 39 . ____
In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the
quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a
problem. ____ 40 ____
Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health.
A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.
B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.
C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.
D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.
F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.
G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.
