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.

Saving for a house, but your friend invites you on a last-minute group getaway? Go for it! Group holidays with all your friends don’t come around often. As you get older and people start their families, they are less likely to happen. Good memories will always be precious.

◆Surround yourself with people that make you feel good

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.

◆Put yourself first and stop trying to please everyone else

5.. Looking after yourself before anyone else is the most important. Work towards the goals you want to achieve, not the ones others want you to achieve. Just make sure that anything you do is done for you!

A.Take things as they come

B.You are your own number one

C.Try hard to make more friends

D.You can always take care of others

E.Here are some tips about how to live in the now

Life is full of challenges. Some people seem to meet every challenge with confidence, while others struggle to overcome them. Here are some ways to better meet your personal challenges, whatever they may be.

Do not undervalue the power of being present. If you make a practice of facing your challenges - even in failure - with full presence and awareness, 1.. You can ask yourself questions that help you better understand the problem.

2.. Others can help you arrive at your own understanding, but no one ever solves your problems for you. Even in circumstances where someone else is acting as a partner, only you can decide for yourself how you will process the situation. The longer you spend searching for guidance outside of yourself, the longer you spend ignoring the problem. Assess the situation, your resources, and your abilities, and then act. 3..

It is important to know yourself. There is a reason why certain challenges seem hard for you while easy for others. 4.. It's all about consciousness. Those who face challenging tasks have found a way to avoid seeing those activities as challenges.

Challenges are opportunities to grow. That growth takes place out of potentiality, your potentiality, which is tremendous and highly active in every moment of life. Come to know yourself as that. Challenges can guide you to awareness.

Pay little attention to the outcome. 5.. Once you focus on what you're actually doing, instead of the result, the most upsetting part starts to disappear.

A.Look to yourself for the solution

B.Don't trouble yourself with questions

C.It's not because they are better than you

D.you may have a sense of being stuck anywhere

E.you will find most challenges are not challenges at all

F.The sooner you take up the challenge, the quicker it stops being a problem

G.Worrying about the potential outcome is often what turns a hill into a mountain

No matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.

Hiking

One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any special equipment or special skills; just a good pair of boots, a map, and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Suggestion: consider doing a little advance research on Trails.com or Every Trail.com.

Backcountry Camping

Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping bag, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wildness. Many parks require backpackers to obtain permits, so make sure to register and map your route before stepping on the trail.

Mountain and Road Biking

Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther while still being in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for a rocky path, consider taking a road bike or a hybrid on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.

1.What is especially suggested before hiking?

A. Having a new pair of boots.

B. Having a map.

C. Having athirst for adventure.

D. Doing some advance research on the websites.

2.Which of the following items is NOT necessary when taking backcountry camping according o the passage?

A. A tent.　　 B. A cell phone.

You know that thrill you get when listening to your favorite music or that exciting feeling down your spine (脊柱) when you hear your favorite melody or rhythm? According to a recent study, it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading, but not with every kind of text. This opens up fascinating questions around how music, reading and emotions are connected in the brain.

“We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain responded,” explains Professor Adam Zeman, a neurologist. “The participants lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.” The texts ranged from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones, including the Highway Code, passages from novels and poems.

As the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When they read these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas associated with pleasure and reward — the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says, “It was a nice proof that the emotional response to literature and to music has quite a bit in common.”

When the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. "These areas seem to be associated with things we do with our minds when we are resting, like thinking about what's happened to us recently, thinking about what’s going to happen in the near future, about other people, and that network seems to be more strongly associated with poetry than with prose” explains Zeman. The study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read.

1.What can we know from the study?

A.People may feel excited when reading poems. B.People aren’t thrilled when listening to music.

C.Music gives participants more pleasure than text. D.Deadly boring texts never excite the brain.

2.What is the purpose of the comparison between different kinds of texts?

A.To thrill the participants. B.To scan the participants’ brain.

C.To check the response of human's brain. D.To teach the participants novels and poems.

3.What happened in the participants’ brains when they were reading?

A.Their brains preferred music.

B.Brain areas related to pleasure became more active.

C.Their emotional response to literature stopped.

D.Their brains were less emotional when reading the emotional text.

4.Where is the text probably from?

A.A science magazine. B.A film review.

C.An advertisement. D.A science fiction.

Embrace JOMO,or the joy of missing out.5. So,turn off your phones and tablets, and engage in something you enjoy while resisting the urge to upload and share it.While this may take practice and perseverance(坚持不懈），the results are well worth the effort.

If you want your life to stand for peace and kindness, it’s helpful to do kind, peaceful things. One of my favorite ways to do this is by developing my own helping actions. These little acts of kindness are opportunities to be of service and reminders of how good it feels to be kind and helpful.

We live in a rural area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of what we see is beauty of nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the litter that some people throw out of their windows as they are driving on the rural roads. One of the few shortcomings to live in the mountainous area is that public services, such as litter collection, are less available than those are closer to the city.

A helping action that I practice regularly with my two children is picking up litter in our surrounding area. We’ve become so used to doing this that my daughters will often say to me in exciting voices, “There’s some litter, Daddy, stop the car!” And if we have time, we will often pull over and pick it up. It may seem strange, but we actually enjoy it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to where we live. He smiled at me and said, “I saw you doing it, and it seemed like a good idea.”

Picking up litter is only one of endless supplies of possible helping actions. You might like holding a door open for people, visiting lonely elderly people in nursing homes, or removing snow off someone else’s driveway. Think of something that seems effortless yet helpful .It’s fun, personally rewarding, and sets a good example. Everyone wins.

1.What does the author think of developing helping actions?

A.It helps us to be winners. B.It is very difficult.

C.It requires lots of effort. D.It makes us feel good about ourselves.

2.What do we know about the area where the author lives?

A.It’s in the center of San Francisco. B.People can see beautiful sceneries here.

C.It’s very easy to find litter collection. D.Few people drive on the rural roads.

3.How does the author support his own opinion?

A.By sharing his own experience. B.By listing reasons for giving help.

C.By explaining different methods to be helpful. D.By making a comparison with others.

4.What does the author mainly want to tell us?

A.Parents are the best teachers to their children. B.Everyone should set good examples to others.

C.Small kind acts make the world a better place. D.Protecting the environment will benefit all of us.
