Your first step toward healthy living is to get a handle on your health status (状况) right now. Here’s your to-do list:

Assess your activity. How much physical activity do you get in a typical week? 1.　 How much variety do you get in your activity, and how much do you enjoy it? The CDC recommends that adults get at least two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity aerobic(有氧的) activity or one hour and 15 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, plus muscle-strengthening activity at least two days per week.

Keep a food diary. Write down everything you eat for a day — and don’t skip the items you’re embarrassed about. “2.” says Kathianne Sellers Williams, a nutritionist, wellness coach, and personal trainer with Cafe Physique in Atlanta. “You can’t change what you’re not aware of or don’t acknowledge.”

Check your mood and energy. Healthy living includes emotional wellness and adequate rest. How has your mood been lately? 3. Do you usually sleep well for seven to eight hours a night?

4. How strong are your connections with family and friends? Are you plugged into social or spiritual groups that enrich your life? “People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting relationships,” C. Nathan DeWall, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Kentucky, tells WebMD.

If you’re not thrilled with the answers to some of those questions, remember that the point is to figure out where you are today so you can set your healthy living goals. It’s not about being “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”. 5.

A. How intense is that activity?

B. Consider your social network.

C. The idea is to write it down without judgment.

D. Learn something about the social apps.

E. It’s OK if you leave out some items in your food diary.

F. It is the awareness of your own state of health that matters.

G. Are you experiencing any symptoms of depression or anxiety?

Now it is the time to set your resolutions. As you head into almost a whole year, your first step is to believe you can do it. Here’s how to prepare yourself effectively.

1.

Eating better and exercising more are all nice ideas, but they’re too general and don’t give you a plan of action. People often lack motivation when the problem is really a lack of clarity. If you want to eat better, be specific: Resolve to add a fruit or vegetable to your lunch every day, limit fast food to once per week, or have dessert once a week.

Make it possible

2.. To eat better, put that bowl of fruit right next to your lunch bag, so you grab an apple or orange every day. To exercise more, you might want to run more. But if you’re a night person, don’t make it harder on yourself by trying to run every morning before work.3.

Allow yourself to fail

Everyone has occasional slips.4.. 71% of successful resolvers say their first failure strengthened their efforts. Learn to refuse something annoying under high pressure. Even people who don’t like apple pie still eat it when offered politely. Instead, say “No, thanks.” If you do slip, focus on getting back on track, not the slip.

Set yourself up for success

Do you try to stay off your phone? Get it out of your bedroom by using a standard alarm clock. One alarm clock only costs $6 now. If you want to limit sweets, get them out of your house. Do you want to reduce breaks?5..

A.Speak it to your friends

B.Make it as specific as possible

C.Stay away from your work’s rest room

D.Instead, do it after you finish your work

E.But don’t let the occasions occupy your track

F.Prove it to yourself with small wins over time

G.Avoid resolutions that sound great but are unattainable

When we're learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn't know much about how listening works. New research shows that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it's an active process of analysing information and making meaning.

Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to excellent comprehension. In addition to that benefit, research has shown that learners who adopt these strategies become better listeners.

So what are listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening activity with a sense of what they want to get out of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they make predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for”what's important. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don't allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don't understand and later make inferences(推测)about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the identity of the speaker, and so on. All the while, skilled learners are evaluating what they're hearing and their own understanding of it. They're checking their inferences to see if they're correct.

Such strategies are all about thinking, and they produce a variety of benefits. Research indicates that such learners are better at analysing and storing new information, better at finding the best ways to practice what they have learned. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a traditional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, dealing with the same skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given clear instruction on how to listen. In the journal Language Learning, Vandergrift reported the results: The second group “significantly outperformed(胜过)” the first one on a test of comprehension. In a 2006 study by researchers from Singapore, Chinese speakers who were learning English as a second language reported increased motivation and confidence after they were taught metacognitive strategies.

Though listening is often treated as a way to make others feel appreciated, it's also one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information and insight(洞察力).

Instagram（图片分享社交应用程序）is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes from its platform. After months of testing an option to hide likes in select international markets, Instagram, which is owned by Facebook（FB）, has already been testing hiding likes in seven other countries, including Canada, Ireland and Australia. For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. It's a way of measuring popularity and success. But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes contribute to making its platform more toxic. Now it's considering a change.

The total number of likes on posts — which appear as hearts on the app ——will disappear from Instagram's main feed, profile pages and permalink（永久链接）pages. The owner of the account can still see their own likes, but their followers won't know the count.

CNN Business previously spoke with users in countries with the test. The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental（不利的，有害的）social networking app for young people's mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according　 to one study.

But other users and psychologists said hiding likes won't fix everything. The test doesn't address some of the key ways that activity on Instagram can impact the well-being of users, including bullying, feeling left out and thinking other people's lives are better than their own.

Renee Engeln, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, voiced his opinion that the biggest impact of Instagram is the content and the exposure to this constant stream of perfected images is what seems to hurt psychologically. Plus, users can still see their own likes ——and feel badly if their posts don't perform well.

1.How do users experience Instagram in this passage?

A.By giving likes. B.By hiding likes.

C.By selecting platforms. D.By showing off talents.

2.The underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “　　　　 ”.

A.profitable B.poisonous

C.popular D.positive

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Instagram has affected youngsters' mental health.

B.The account owners won't know the count o£ likes.

C.Instagram tested hiding likes in seven countries first.

D.The majority think Instagram has been a well-being app.

4.What could be the best title of the passage?

A.Instagram Misuses Likes

B.More People Are Against Likes

C.Likes Cause Mental Problems

D.Likes will Be Hidden on Instagram

It’s never easy to admit the mistakes you make, but doing so is an important step toward moving forward.

National Geographic magazine recently published an article with the title “For decades, our coverage was racist. To rise above our past, we must acknowledge it.” It was written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg, the first woman and first Jewish person to hold the position. National Geographic has acknowledged that its coverage of the black and racial minorities in America and the wider world has been historically racist, frequently promoting caricatures of the “noble savage” and barely featuring the US’s minority population.

According to Goldberg, the 130-year-old publication’s April issue “explores how race defines, separates, and unites us”. In honor of 50 years since the killing of Martin Luther King, who is known for fighting racial inequality in the US, the issue is devoted to race.

The publication republished a number of examples of historical racism in its coverage. One 1916 article about Australia included a photo of two Indigenous Australians with the wording: “South Australian Blackfellows: These savages rank lowest in intelligence of all human beings.”

To review its previous coverage of race, Goldberg asked University of Virginia historian John Edwin Mason to look back at the magazine’s text, choice of subjects, and photography of people of color from the US and abroad. “Until the 1970s, National Geographic all but ignored people of color who lived in the United States, rarely acknowledging them beyond laborer or domestic workers,” Goldberg wrote about Mason’s findings. “Meanwhile, it pictured ‘natives’ elsewhere as exotics, famously and frequently unclothed happy hunters, noble savages.”

Mason also found that the magazine often ran photos of “uncivilized” natives amazed by “civilized” Western technology.

In recent years, however, the magazine has improved. For example, in a 2015 project, National Geographic gave cameras to young people in the Caribbean country of Haiti and asked them to shoot pictures of their everyday lives.

“The coverage wasn’t right before, because it was told from a white American point of view, and I think it speaks to exactly why we needed a variety of storytellers,” Goldberg told the Associated Press.

National Geographic’s look at its past also inspired other media organizations to revisit their own historical coverage of race. The New York Times admitted that most of its obituaries(讣告) were about the lives of white men, and has started publishing obituaries of famous women in a special section titled “Overlooked”. After all, recognizing overlooked mistakes is what makes us grow.

1.The April issue of National Geographic magazine is special because ______.

A.readers can see Mason’s investigation report in this issue

B.it is released to mark National Geographic’s 130th anniversary

C.it focuses on the issue of race in memory of Martin Luther King

D.it is the first issue since Susan Goldberg became the editor-in-chief

2.Which of the following may prove National Geographic’s coverage was racist?

A.It often pictured coloured people with decent jobs.

B.Natives were often presented as undressed happy hunters.

C.It asked ordinary people to shoot pictures of their daily lives.

D.It only featured minority groups in America but overlooked others.

3.What can we learn about the National Geographic?

A.It used to tell stories from the perspective of a white Jewish woman.

B.The overall image of natives in it was brave, intelligent but uncivilized.

C.Its texts and choice of subjects were diverse and had no racial prejudice.

D.It inspired other media organizations to reflect on their coverage of race.

4.According to the writer, acknowledging the mistakes may 　　　　　 .

A.spoil the image of the world famous magazine

B.remove racial discrimination around the world

C.help the magazine to move forward and grow better

D.discourage the editors from reporting bravely and honestly
