When I learned that a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I decided to see what it was about. After taking the course, I believe that anyone who follows the suggestions can truly become happier.

1.

Increase social connections.

Talking with a friend face to face will make you happier.2. My boyfriend loves chatting with waiters, and I notice that he always wears a wide and happy smile after having a meaningful talking with them. Actually, many studies have found that the more social media, the less happy you are.

3.

Volunteering to help someone or buying a coffee for the person behind you in line can make you happier, because helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can increase happiness. 4. If you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it may begin to feel like a duty.

Burn some calories.

Exercise causes hormonal (荷尔蒙的) changes in the body that make you feel good and avoid negative thoughts. 5. And after ten months, they are less likely to be depressed (沮丧) again.

A.Buy someone a coffee.

B.Perform acts of kindness.

C.My favorite tips are as follows.

D.However, changing your way is very important.

E.But a meaningful meeting with a stranger also works.

F.As is reported, it is of great importance to exercise regularly.

G.A research shows that depressed people exercising regularly improve a lot.

Britons Learn to Forgive

LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology(心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.

“The hatred (仇恨) we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart.

The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.

The course ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said. “People confuse（混淆） forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.” Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.

“The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with, ”said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.

Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past”.

The topic of money is often seen as a difficult area by adults. There is so much to learn and so much to control. That's the main reason why a lot of adults are in debt. As with anything worth learning, the best and most well-received knowledge comes to us when we're children. 1.

Start your kids saving money from a very early age, and it will become a habit, a normal, even an easy thing to do. Make saving a fun and positive experience. 2.　 Show kids how you are saving your money too. Just as adults become strong and successful with goal setting, kids benefit from setting their own goals, too. 3.

The first step in raising generous children is teaching them how to give to others. We ask our children to share toys with one another as they are young. It's even more important as they grow older that we teach them selflessness and how to give back to their community.4.

You might not think you have to teach your kids how to spend money, but this is the one area where most people's money problems stall.

When we’re small children, our mistakes are applauded. Our falling-down attempts to walk for the first time are cheered by our parents, giving us the courage to get up and try again. When we accidentally put our shirt on backwards, people smile and praise our independence. At this age, the world teaches us that failure is merely part of the journey to success.

But when we get to school, we quickly learn that mistakes are bad. Answers are right or wrong, true or false. The risk-taking that used to be rewarded is now punished, and we either give up or learn to stick with safe answers. Unfortunately, this black-or-white thinking doesn’t encourage learning. Instead, it encourages a fear of failure and discourages inventiveness.

Teachers are starting to worry, and “resiliency(心理弹性)” is perhaps the latest buzzword(术语) in education. In June, the California Teacher’s Association published an article called “Teaching Students to Bounce Back.” It argued that children are under more stress than ever, but lacking in “basic coping skills”. The article infers that this loss of coping skills could be because “years of testing and test preparation have robbed them of critical thinking skills and the ability to self-reflect.” It’s no coincidence that anxiety among teenagers is on the rise. In her book, The Price of Privilege, Marilyn Levine tries to make sense of this phenomenon: “When parents place an extremely high value on outstanding performance, children come to see anything less than perfection as failure. While most kids hang in there and try to meet those high expectations, more and more kids are quitting.” Students are afraid to try anything new, prevented by fears of appearing imperfect.

Allowing our children to make mistakes is the best way to fight this culture of perfectionism. We must remind them of what they knew as toddlers(初学走路的孩子): mistakes are a valuable part of the learning process. Creation and discovery can only be developed if we give our children the freedom to fail. Schools can build resiliency by stressing exploration over correctness. School needs to be a place that doesn’t just teach the right answers: it should also be a place that teaches kids how to bounce back from failure.

1.What does the underlined word “it”(Paragraph 2) most probably refer to?

A.The risk-taking. B.The falling-down attempt.

C.Putting one’s shirt on backwards. D.The black-or-white thinking.

2.According to Paragraph 3, students lose basic coping skills because they 　　　　　　 .

A.lack parents’ understanding and teachers’ guiding

B.lack critical thinking skills and self-reflection ability

C.have too much anxiety and need comfort

D.have too much independence and freedom

3.Marilyn Levine believes that 　　　　　　 .

A.most children quit because they are imperfect

B.parents are trying to prevent their children from appearing imperfect

C.children are so afraid of things that they try to avoid trying new things

D.children place a high value on trying new things

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A.Making Mistakes in School Is a Must.

B.Teaching Students to Bounce Back Is Popular.

C.Students Should Learn Without Failure.

D.Anxiety among Teenagers Is on the Rise.

Sport is not only physically challenging , but it can also be mentally challenging . Criticism (批评) from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes . Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has suggested that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable .

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself .The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware ,at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw ( mistake ) in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also be careful that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting , young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game , many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.

We know it’s good to learn another language，and it’s fun too. But to improve our language skills, many of us have to endure hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. It’s no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning.

There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to earn money on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available.

Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon — lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom. Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other tasks. But they’re not perfect — you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the partner support you could get in a classroom environment.

So, does technology imply the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He thought that apps should be used alongside traditional classroom methods. And he adds: “The apps are not formal. . . they’re not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.”

Certainly, technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more devoted. Motivation can be a problem when using an app. But if you have a genuine and practical reason to learn another language, you will no doubt stick with it.

1.What is the benefit of language learning apps?

A.You can learn with a partner.

B.You needn’t pay any money.

C.They provide grammar lessons.

D.They meet your personal demands.

2.What do the underlined words refer to in Paragraph 3?

A.Languages. B.Learning apps.

C.Universities. D.Teachers.

3.What is Guy Baron’s opinion about the learning apps?

A.They are of no help to learners.

B.They will replace traditional teaching.

C.They provide the most effective resources.

D.They should be combined with classroom methods.

4.Which does the author think is important in using the learning apps?

A.The instructor. B.Confidence.

C.The classroom. D.Motivation.

Cancelled school, daycare and sports activities means that children are eating all of their meals and snacks at home. 1., social distancing also brings new opportunities.

Studies have found that children who regularly eat family dinners consume more fruits and vegetables, and fewer unhealthy foods than children who don’t. They’re also less likely to be overweight, and more likely to say no to smoking and drugs.

Being stuck at home also provides an opportunity for parents to teach children cooking skills that they can carry into adulthood. 2., and teaches them nutrition and food safety. And, research suggest, doing so may help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. Besides, cooking and baking can be fun ways spend time while bonding with family.

3., however, healthy eating guidelines are the same for children and adults. Meals should be planned around healthy protein foods, vegetables and fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. It can be challenging, though, to feed children three well-balanced, nutritious meals day after day during the corona-virus crisis.

When you’re too stressed or too tired to cook, it’s easy to sometimes fall back on children-friendly meals, such as frozen pizza, pasta and cheese, or chicken fingers. That’s perfectly okay; these aren’t normal times.

4.. For example, offer sliced fruit or raw vegetables with the meal or heat up frozen peas to serve with chicken fingers.

As much as possible, keep a routine(常规)around your children’s meal and snack times, which helps to discourage snacking throughout the day.5.

A.While this can add a new stress for parents

B.That’s why it’s helpful to have some extra time at home

C.Kitchen activities may require children’s patience as they learn

D.Children at different ages need different amounts of specific nutrients

E.Sticking to a schedule allows children to feel hungry for their next meal

F.Involving children in the kitchen helps them learn where food comes from

G.When that’s the case, plan easy ways to improve the nutritional quality of meals

I teach online and have been doing so for years .I understand the value of traditional face-to-face course offerings for certain courses and certain subjects. I doubt an online course in chemistry can ever be as effective (有效的) as a face-to-face course held in a lab. Fortunately, I teach writing, and the Internet is an effective place for teaching subjects that call for careful reading and discussion.

It is true that there are things I cannot do in my classes on the Internet. It is also true, however, that there are things I cannot do in my classes held in traditional classrooms. So the question we should ask is: What works better or worse in face-to-face classes rather than in online courses, and vice versa(反之亦然)?

One of the things I value most in my online classes is the necessity for everyone to take part in order to show their presence. In my face-to-face classes, a student can sit quietly and appear to be engaged in(积极参与) the discussion without ever offering a thought or opinion. Online, I consider a student who sits quietly but who does not join in the discussion to be simply not present. Further, students in face-to-face classes who are too shy or who are talked over by quicker and louder voices have the chance to take part in an online discussion.

When I teach online, my students and I can be inside or outside and we can sit wherever and however we want. In Michigan, where a winter storm can make going to campus dangerous or even impossible, the ability to learn in class from the comfort of wherever you live is a big advantage. When the weather is not nice, I often teach while sitting in a local coffee shop. When the weather is nice, I often teach while sitting in my backyard.

I agree that online education is not a “recipe (秘诀)for personal success.” Then again, I’m not sure traditional face-to-face education is such a recipe, either.

1.What does the author think of online courses and traditional courses?

A.Chemistry courses can be done online.

B.Online courses are more popular.

C.Traditional courses are more helpful.

D.Both have their advantages.

2.How can shy students benefit from online discussion?

A.They can do a better job than louder students.

B.They can sit quietly to listen to others opinions.

C.They can think independently and take an active part.

D.They can appear to be engaged in online discussion.

3.Which advantage of online teaching is mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A.It is much safer. B.It is less affected by weather.

C.It is more comfortable. D.It happens anytime.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Why I teach online. B.I’ m online.

C.A recipe for success. D.A new teaching style.
