Rucking (负重行军) is becoming very popular in the fitness world. But what is it? In short, it means going
on a walk while carrying a weighted bag, usually a rucksack, on your back. The concept comes from army training.
36 Although this might be the first time you’ve heard of rucking, chances are that you have probably already
engaged in rucking without even knowing it while walking to school with a bag full of books or while going to
work.
Rucking is super simple to do and to start doing. 37 You start by adding weight to your bag, either
with actual weights or heavy items you already have, and then you zip it up, put it on your back and walk! That is
literally all there is to it.
38 You can regularly increase the weight you carry as well as the pace you walk at. Of course, before
starting or making any changes to your exercise and lifestyle, you should consult with your physician to ensure it is
safe for you.
There are many benefits of rucking, such as muscle building, improved cardiovascular (心血管的) health,
and better bone and joint health. 39 It seems like these are some of the reasons why the trend has become
so popular.
So whether you are looking for a new physical activity to start doing or are just curious about why it seems
like everyone is into rucking, go ahead and give it a try. 40
A.All you need is a backpack and some motivation.
B.Rucking helps you build up strength one step at a time.
C.That way you get healthy both physically and mentally.
D.When engaged, you will also be much mentally stronger.
E.You might be surprised about how enjoyable it actually is.
F.Rucking is more than just a passing trend and is here to stay.
G.It has lately been adapted to be used by any person able to walk.

It’s a familiar picture for many of us: After a long day at work, we find ourselves glued to the sofa, phone inhand, maybe even for hours at a time. What starts as a way to mentally unwind or catch up on the news quickly
becomes hours spent “doomscrolling” — the act of spending an excessive amount of time on social media scrolling
(滚屏) through overwhelmingly negative content. 6
While it might feel like doomscrolling helps us stay informed, research finds this habit can result in lower
mental well-being and poorer life satisfaction. 36 One way people have successfully replaced time on their
phones is with a hobby that encourages mindfulness, meaning focusing our attention on the present moment and
experiencing our thoughts and feelings without judgment. Here are some ways mindful hobbies can help us break
our doomscrolling habit.
They hold positive attention. When we’re focused on a craft, our hands are busy. 37 Creative hobbies
that require attention, such as coloring, can also act as a “flow activity”, where we feel fully engaged in what we’ re
doing, thus losing hours doomscrolling.
38 Doomscrolling can leave people feeling a loss of control, but mindful hobbies provide a sense of
control along with amazing results, like a colorful drawing. Accomplishing something is considered one of the core
ingredients of psychological well-being.
They offer a sense of belonging. By engaging in a new hobby, we also join a community of people with
similar interests. 39 And this sense of belonging is linked to better well-being.
A.A fear of missing out is what drives many to continue their repetitive scroll.
B.The good news is that there are many ways to break this bad habit.
C.Consequently, we’ll be too engaged to reach for our phones.
D.This opens us up to more positive social interactions.
E.We engage in an activity with our full attention.
F.They provide a sense of achievement.
G.They can calm people down.

Every day, whether we’re aware of it or not, our lives are governed by habits. 36 This has something
to do with our brain activities.
When we learn to do something for the first time, we have to consciously think about it. During this stage, a
certain part of the brain makes a decision to perform and concentrate on this task. Then, another part of the brainresponds to the decision, instructs our body to make the relevant movements, and memorizes the movement pattern.
37 As we repeat this process, the brain works less, which means we no longer have to consciously think about
how to do it. Thus the task gradually becomes automatic — in other words, a habit.
38 The answer is triggers (诱因). The brain can respond to triggers within a few hundred
milliseconds and kick off a habitual behavior. 39 For example, when we wake up, we get up and start the
day. In this case, the trigger is waking up. Bad habits are kicked off by triggers too. Procrastination (拖延) is one of
the habitual responses to stress: when faced with a difficult task, some people simply start doing something else to
avoid it. Habits, especially the bad ones, are usually hard to break. 15
Remember that habits take time to form, so patience and consistency are crucial. With dedication and
understanding, you can unlock the potential for personal growth and positive change through the power of habits.
A.But how are they developed?
B.Habits are not developed in a day or two.
C.Triggers play a very important part in our life.
D.What drives us to perform habitual actions, then?
E.There are thousands of such triggers in our lives.
F.The brain enjoys a reward when the task is completed.
G.But once we know the triggers, we can try to make a change.

You’ve renovated your home and you’re all ready to move in — but the space still feels cold and empty.
Lucky you, we’ve got the founder and creative director of Make Room on board to show you the ropes and guide
you through the art and science of home styling. 36 Read on for Barbara Fritschy’s fresh styling ideas and
expert tips!
Know your measurements. Matching the scale of the furniture to the scale of the room is crucial. A deep
sectional sofa can easily overpower a small room. 37 Before you start designing, measure the length, width
and height of each room, along with obstructions like stairs, columns and air-conditioning.
38 This is the tricky part. There are no right or wrong answers. Rooms can be traditional or modern,
formal or relaxed, and visually warm or cool. To the best of your ability, you have to try to know how you would
like to live in a given space. Someone who plans to host formal work events at home should have a different livingroom from someone who dreams of crashing in front of the TV at night.
Develop a budget. 39 If you spend money on an unexpectedly expensive chair, you’ ll have less
money available for the rest of the home. You can still make an exception if you find a one-of-a-kind dining table,
but in order to pay for it, you have to be mindful of cutting costs somewhere else. How you allocate (分配) your
budget is a very personal decision. 40 However, dedicating 70 percent of your budget to the main part of
the renovation is a good idea. Twenty percent goes to furnishings and ten percent to decorations, including rugs,
cushions, bedding, wallpaper and artworks.
A.Decorate your home.
B.Figure out your lifestyle.
C.There’s no getting around the math.
D.So you can tackle it even if you have no clue where to start.
E.And it will really depend on the extent of the work being done.
F.And delicate chairs can get lost in a spacious open-plan dining room.
G.It’s a good idea to measure window openings and the wall space below.

Four Surprising Ways to Boost Your Heart Health
As much as 80% of premature heart disease is preventable through lifestyle choices. 36 Here are
four surprising tips to protect your heart.
Sleep and Stress Management. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more
stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network and a professor of medicine at the
University of Alberta. If we’re sleep deprived(剥夺), our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood
pressure, swelling, and sugar levels. 37 Aim for eight hours of sleep each night to help your body recharge
and reduce stress.
Air Quality and Heart Health. Exposure to pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing
in dirty air from chemicals like sulphur dioxide(二氧化硫)and nitrogen oxides(氮氧化物)can harm blood
vessels(血管)and cause swelling. 38 Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and
industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
The Power of Laughter and Social Connections. A 2016 study in the Journal of Epidemiology of morethan 20,000 people over the age of 65 found a lower incidence of cardiovascular(心血管)disease in those who
reported laughing every day. Laughter reduces stress and depression, and it may also serve as a mini-workout,
helping your circulation and protecting the health of your arteries(动脉). 39 Helping others boosts self-
esteem and reduces stress. Research shows that having a sense of purpose lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Volunteering creates social networks and can even increase physical activity.
The Importance of Breakfast. 40 “If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be
hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy
lifestyle.” Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
A.These problems can all have an impact on heart health.
B.Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and other health issues.
C.Similarly, volunteering improves both mental and physical health.
D.Besides, social connections are important for overall well-being.
E.Even short-time exposure is dangerous for people with high blood pressure.
F.A study found that people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to develop heart disease.
G.While exercise and weight management are well-known strategies, lesser-known approaches can also make a
big difference.

Curiosity is often seen as the spark behind scientific breakthroughs and artistic masterpieces, but one of its
most powerful uses is how we connect with others, which can also be life-changing. Here is a closer look at its
benefits. 26
When someone asks you a thoughtful question about your life or takes the time to understand your
perspective, which signals interest, you can feel valued and understood. 36 . They show that you care about
what the other person has to say. By doing so, you are likely to create a positive feedback loop and more fondness
from others.
Generate curiosity
Curiosity is infectious. 37 , start by being genuinely curious about theirs. This approach can have
profound effects on how persuasive and influential we can be. A study found that when people feel heard and
understood, they become more willing to explore different perspectives, helping create a bridge for mutualunderstanding and respect.
Develop empathy (共情)
38 . When people approach social interactions with an open and inquiring mindset, they can improve
their ability to empathize and also build stronger emotional connections. In other words, it helps individuals set
aside assumptions, enabling more authentic and meaningful conversations.
Build psychological resilience
Curiosity can increase the ability to adjust people’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in response to
challenges or setbacks. When faced with stress or adversity, curious people are more likely to explore their
emotional reactions instead of avoiding them. 39 , leading to more effective emotional regulation.
A.Win potential liking
B.Bring overall thinking
C.If you want someone to be open to your ideas or concerns
D.Because it may help you respond to different situations anxiously
E.Follow-up questions, in particular, demonstrate that we’re actively listening
F.So this allows them to better know the root causes of their emotional responses
G.Understanding others’ feelings is a skill that can be strengthened through curiosity

Your identity is who or what you are and what you do. Just as the things you do, such as following popular
fashion, create your identity, the things you read do too. Books, magazines or even websites you frequently read or
visit influence the way you think and what you believe in. 36 For example, if you had read that littering
kills the earth and contributes to pollution and that has convinced you, you will believe that littering is bad.
Therefore, you will not litter. This is the message you will spread to the people around you. This will in turn cause
the world around you to see you as someone who loves the earth and you will not litter no matter where you go.
32
Research has shown that reading also affects the way you interacts with people around you. Reading fiction
makes you more empathetic (共情的) to the lives around you. This is because reading stories leads you to imagine
situations, and this makes you understand others better. 37 You become less self-centred and more caring.
People start seeing you as someone who is merciful, and that becomes part of your identity.38 What is more important, though, is that you engage in intentional reading, paying close attention
to what you feed your mind. Read autobiographies or biographies of people who inspire you if you want to be more
like them. 39 If you want to be a songwriter, read more poetry! So, go on. Pick up a book today and read. A
new you awaits you.
A.You’d better select a book that is suitable for you.
B.This becomes part of your identity — an earth-lover.
C.The things you believe in, then, determine the things you do.
D.If you want to be a productive writer, read more fiction books.
E.This is because reading plays an important role in shaping your identity.
F.Therefore, it enables you to be more tolerant and accepting of differences.
G.It is important to read as it affects you to a large extent, creating your identity.

Copenhagen is a beautiful city that attracts a large number of tourists, especially during the summer. While
tourism is great for the economy, it also has an impact on environment. In order to change that, tourists can
participate in green activities like picking up litter, using public transport, or biking around the city. 36
This project is called CopenPay and it is being trialed this summer. 36 The project was introduced by
Copenhagen’s official tourism organization to get tourists to act more sustainably. While many tourists express the
desire for eco-friendly travel, very few have changed their behavior.
37 It will reward green actions including taking part in clean-ups or volunteering at an urban farm.
The project is trust-based, so it is unlikely that the venues will ask for proof but some may request a photo of you
doing a green activity or a train ticket.
There are 24 participants in the pilot program, including museums and urban experiences for tourists to
participate in. There are several places offering free ice cream or coffee for taking public transport. Visitors to the
National Gallery who bring plastic waste can participate in a workshop to turn the trash into a piece of art. 38
There are free tours at the Cisternerne underground art hall, if you walk or bike to the venue.
Maybe none of these small activities will make a huge impact on the environment. However, small things do
make a difference. 39 Besides, tourists can bring an important souvenir home from their vacation.
A.They will change people’s attitudes.B.Few tourists show interest in this project.
C.Tourists can choose to take public transport.
D.CopenPay hopes to help bridge the gap in this way.
E.It was designed to help reduce the environmental costs.
F.They will be rewarded with food or souvenirs after doing these.
G.Tourists can help care for the gardens at a museum for free admission.

Adversity Quotient (AQ, 逆境商数), which is also known as the “Adversity Intelligence”, measures a
person’s ability to handle setbacks and struggles in difficult situations. Unlike IQ or EQ, AQ focuses on resilience-
the power to recover from failures and adapt to adversity. 36 Psychologist Dr. Paul Stoltz, who first
proposed the concept in the 1990s, emphasized that AQ is crucial for personal and professional success, especially
when IQ and EQ levels are similar among individuals.
Why does AQ Matter? In today’s fast-paced world, challenges are unavoidable. High AQ individuals tend to
view difficulties as temporary and manageable. 37 In contrast, those with low AQ often feel stuck, blame
others, and find it hard to keep going. Studies suggest that 80% of long-term success relies on EQ and AQ, while
IQ contributes only 20%.
Dr. Stoltz identified four components to evaluate AQ:
※ Control: 38 High AQ individuals actively seek ways to regain control, even in terrible
circumstances.
※ Ownership: The willingness to take responsibility for improving outcomes. 44
※ Reach: Limiting the impact of adversity. Resilient people prevent setbacks from spreading to unrelated
areas of life.
※ Endurance (持久力): Perceiving challenges as temporary. Optimism about the duration of difficulties
helps maintain motivation.
39 Schools and workplaces now give priority to “adversity training” to cultivate resilience. Strategies
include changing negative thoughts, setting small achievable goals, and learning from past failures. As the saying
goes, “Smooth seas never make a skilled sailor”-accepting challenges shapes a stronger character.
A.AQ alone can really determine success.B.AQ can be developed through intentional practice.
C.The influence one believes one can have over a situation.
D.However, constantly analyzing failures may lead to anxiety.
E.They stay positive and prevent them hurting other parts of life.
F.A person with high AQ won’t easily give up in the face of hardship.
G.High AQ individuals are responsible for their actions and focus on solutions.

we all know, not all thoughts are welcome. Intrusive (入侵的) thoughts often emerge as unwanted visitors,
disrupting our minds. They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without
invitation. 36 .
Most people experience intrusive thoughts from time to time. For example, if someone is driving, they might
have an urge to drive off a bridge. Most people know they would never do such things and don’t pay much
attention to them. 37 . And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something
terrible. This can lead to them performing compulsions (强制行为) to try and reduce their anxiety.
Fortunately, there are strategies to deal with intrusive thoughts.
Accept them. Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind. 38 . Try to just observe them and allow
time to pass. Remember that intrusive thoughts are normal, and just having a thought doesn’t make it come true.
39 . We know it’s difficult sometimes! Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so
much against unwanted thoughts, though. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going
through a similar struggle.
Stay present. The more present you are in the “here and now”, the less power you’re giving to these nagging
fears and negative thoughts. You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath. 40 .
A.Love yourself
B.Don’t try to push them away
C.Never be too hard on yourself
D.However, some people become troubled by their intrusive thoughts
E.They can be anything that a person finds inconsistent with their values
F.That can help bring your attention back and break the cycle of intrusive thoughts
G.People who have such terrible experiences may be easy to have intrusive thoughts(十一)

Getting to know yourself is a life-long journey. Feeling confused about who you are is more common than
you think, and we’re here to help you find the answer.
Practice mindfulness. 36 It is easy to paint yourself as the hero of your own story, but consider what
it is that you might be ignoring about yourself. Mindfulness involves paying attention to yourself and observing
non-judgmentally, which helps you look at yourself more objectively.
37 Introspection (内省) promotes moral behavior. The key is to compare how your behaviors
measure up to your core principles. Are you meeting the standards you believe everyone should hold for
themselves? Make a list of the qualities that are most important to you in others. 53
Resist escapist activities. Many people who are uncomfortable with how they live their lives seek to escape
from introspection and self-knowledge. 38 Don’t give in to those temptations (诱惑).
Take a personality test. There are various free personality tests online. The science of personality tests is
shaky and the results can’t be fully trusted. 39 Did anything unexpected turn up? Have you learned
something new about your personality?
A.Then ask yourself how to display these qualities.
B.Be mindful of the activity you’re going to join in.
C.Consider how your actions agree with your values.
D.Most people have huge blind spots about themselves.
E.Getting to know yourself is hard work that you mustn’t escape.
F.They do this through mindless entertainment or other addictions.
G.However, they may show if your self-awareness matches the test’s evaluation.
