Where do you see yourself in five years? While some of us might have answers to that, the reality is that most of us don’t. That is totally OK. We may not stress too much about the future. 1..

◆Stop worrying about what hasn’t happened yet

We’ve all done it. Worrying about a situation that hasn’t happened yet is only going to ruin all the good things that are happening now. 2.. If it is really eating you up, try thinking about what you can do right now to avoid any negative situations you might be worried about.

◆3.

In order to fully live in the present, surround yourself with people that make you feel good. 4.. If you find yourself doubting your achievements and feeling less than someone because they have a nicer car or a better job, take a step away from them for a while until you feel better.

Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?

You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms(生理节奏), and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.

Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.

“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist(神经病学家)Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study. Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity.

1.What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?

A.You will feel upset.

B.You will behave normally.

C.Your body will not know what time it is.

D.You will probably get hungry more easily.

2.Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer?

A.Both should see a doctor. B.Tom should see a doctor.

C.Both should take it easy. D.Mike should have a watch.

3.How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?

A.By seeing what happens when they are messed up.

B.By asking questions and collecting answers.

C.By studying people traveling across time zones.

D.By programming people with man-made clocks.

4.What will the writer most probably talk about next?

A.Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.

B.Some effective medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.

C.The importance of eating healthy food.

D.What circadian rhythms are and how they work.

It truly doesn't take much to encourage others and, best of all, it is very affordable and requires no special equipment. Here are some simple ways to encourage others.

Take an interest.

I believe this is one of the most practical ways of encouraging others.

Show that you're interested in what they're doing. 1.People like to talk about themselves and once you get them talking, you fire up their enthusiasm.

Acknowledge a job well done.

Great achievements take time and effort. You can encourage others by acknowledging their efforts. A simple “well done" or “thank you" can be influential. 2.

Lend a hand.

3. In fact, you can be the first one to lend a hand. If a person sees you are willing to spend your time and energy on their interests, they will be more encouraged to see it through and less likely to give up.

4.

Thank someone when he/she does something for you. Thank your partner after he/ she cooks a nice meal. Thank a friend for lending you a book. A simple “thank you" lets others know what they have done is meaningful to you.

Give a call to your friend.

As you know, we're all busy, and in the age of emails and texts, phone calls seem ancient to many people.

5. Even if they miss the call they'll appreciate the effort and your message. Make an effort to do this just once a week for one person and see how your connections respond to the encouragement.

A.Get them talking.

B.Show your appreciation.

C.Do something unexpected.

D.But people love hearing from friends.

E.You don't have to wait for someone to ask you for advice.
