Have you ever thought of taking fishing as a hobby or one of your activities on weekends? If not, it's time to think about it. Fishing is relaxing and it makes you go out to enjoy the beautiful nature.

I think it's great to go fishing on the bank of a river under some green trees. You can forget the unpleasant things when you are fishing. If you don't try fishing, you will never know what you are missing. Imagine standing on the bank of a river and catching a lot of fish. You should allow the fish to bite the hook(鱼钩)before pulling it up. When you finally catch the fish, you will feel quite happy and excited. You will never have this feeling until you give fishing a try.

Now that your interest is motivated(被激起), you may be thinking that you don't have any idea about how to fish. If that's the case, these tips will help：

Find a good place for fishing.

Have you ever eaten a whole packet of biscuits when you were planning to only have one? Or have you stayed up much later than you planned, or even all night, having “just one more” try in a game? Both of these are examples of mindlessness. When we live this way, we are not fully awake and not fully living our lives.

When we are mindful, we are different. We　 are conscious of our thoughts, our actions and what is happening around us. We might notice a beautiful sunset or really listen carefully to what a friend is saying, rather than planning what we’re going to say next. We are also clear about our own feelings and thoughts. So we are consciously deciding what to pay attention to, we are not worrying about the past or planning for the future and we are not trying to control or stop our thoughts or feelings—we’re just noticing them.

For most people, life is getting busier and more stressful(有压力的). Technology means

that we always have something to do and there isn’t much opportunity to just “be”. People are often doing two or three things at the same time: texting while watching TV, or even looking at phones while walking.

Research shows that mindfulness reduces stress. It can help you to focus, to have a better memory and to think more clearly. It can also help you to manage pain better and to improve sleep, and it can even help you to lose weight because you won’t eat that whole packet of biscuits without thinking!

A very simple technique that you can try right now is to close your eyes for a few minutes and count how many sounds you can hear. This will help you to focus on what is happening right now. Another technique is to focus on a piece of food. Instead of eating it without thinking, notice how it feels and how it tastes.

Both of these techniques help you to slow down and focus on the present moment, as Jon Kabat Zinn says, mindfulness is: “Paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and without judging. ”

1.Why does the writer ask two questions in the first paragraph?

A. To predict the influence of stress. B. To describe the modern way of life.

C. To introduce the topic of mindfulness. D. To show the importance of healthy habits.

2.The underlined words “be conscious of” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “　　　　　　　　 ”.

A. be ready for B. know something well

C. be careful with D. take something seriously

3.Which of the following is an example of mindfulness?

A. Listening to the birds singing with patience. B. Having potato chips as much as you’d like to.　　　　　　　　　 C. Watching a movie with a large box of popcorn.

D. Taking pictures of flowers when walking in a park.

Have you ever watched a film with your friends and thought, “How wonderful!” or had a meal with your family and said, “That’s was the best!”?

Well, there may be a small secret(秘密)about why you enjoyed it so much. Our experiences are stronger if we share them with someone. That means good experiences become better, and bad ones become worse. That’s according to a new study by Yale University.

Scientists did a small study on female(女性)college students. In the test they share chocolate with someone they thought was another participant(参与者). But in fact, it was a scientist. In each test, they got two pieces of chocolate. They ate one piece at the same time with the “participant” and the other piece alone. The participants thought the chocolate was tastier and more enjoyable when they shared it with someone. Even though both pieces of chocolate were from the same box.

Scientists then did another experiment, this time with bitter, unpleasant chocolate. Again, the participants thought the chocolate was bitterer than the piece they ate alone.

“When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with friends or Family.” said scientist Erica Boothby. “We often don’t know how much people around us influence (影响)our decisions.” according to Erica.

However, it does show that sharing things with a friend may just make your good way a little brighter. Because the study only looked at female college students, it doesn’t mean the whole　 (全 部的)picture.

1.According to the new study,___________________-.

A. the best film is the one you watch with your friends

B. sharing secrets with your friends can make you happier

C. the most delicious meal is the one you have with your family

D. your experiences are stronger if your share them with others

2.Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the test?

A. The chocolate has two different tastes.

A. Erica Boothby really likes eating chocolate

B. making more friends can make you luckier

C. boys don’t like to do things with their friends

D. friends or family play a role in our decisions

“What ! You too?I thought I was the only one.”Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.

It seemed that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher(哲学家) Aristotle once said, “Some define(下定义) friendship as a matter of similarity. They say that we love those who are like ourselves.”

Now , there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.

The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity.

According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation(动力)， learning and memory.

However, people who weren’t friends had different reactions to the same clips.

“Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes one’s won values, opinions, and interests strength,”scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.

But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.

They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.

1.What does “this idea” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Many friendships start with small chats.

B. Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.

C. People with similarities may become friends.

D. We like those who like us first.

2.The 42 university students in the experiment_____________.

A. are all from the University of California

B. were close friends before the experiment

C. watched　 the same set of videos

D. reacted differently from each other

3.What did the study of the students’ brains show?

A. They had watched the same video clips.

B. Friends had similar reactions to the same clips.

C. Watching videos improves one’s memory.

D. It’s good to have friends who react similarly.

4.According to the story , what else may help build friendship?

A. Being fun and helpful B. Studying at the same college.

C. Having similar appearances D. Being physically close.

5.The best title of the passage is “__________”

A. What is friendship B. Friends can think alike

C. An experiment about friendship D. How can we build friendship

First, calm yourself down when you are in a bad mood.2. You can take a couple of deep breaths and think of something that brings you pleasure. Remembering a beautiful scene in the nature or someone you love will always help a lot.

Then, never wait for the person who upsets you to say sorry. They may not have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way as you do.3. In that case, it may be easier for you to be less nervous.
