They can also make you feel less anxious, especially when you put them well together.While out shopping for Christmas presents, I bought myself a jigsaw puzzle. It was an unusual buy, one that I now recognize as an attempt at dealing with that particular stress many of us experience during the holidays. Don't get me wrong-I love seeing my wife and family. But holiday get-togethers have a way of putting any personal shortcomings at center stage.Robyn Breen, a dance instructor knows the feeling. Breen suffered from anxiety and she turned to puzzles. It worked, and jigsaws have since become a necessary part of her daily routine. "I thought, Whoa, I feel really good when I'm doing this," she says.Susan Vandermorris is a clinical neuropsychologist and a global leader in brain health. Any type of puzzle is good for the brain and points to the stress-relieving benefits of jigsaws, in particular, she says. "If you're doing a puzzle, you are, free from the interruptions and stresses of day-to-day life," she explains.Vandermorris believes that doing puzzles with others has even more health benefits than doing them on your own, adding that it provides a rare opportunity for intergenerational engagement(参与). "Get the teenagers off their smart phones and working on a puzzle with Grandma, and suddenly you've got a really nice family interaction that seems to be harder and harder to come by these days," she adds.The 23-year-old Jack from Marshfield, Massachusetts, has autism(自闭症)and first took to puzzles as a kid because they "gave him a break from the demands of socializing", says his mother. As Jack grew, so did his puzzling talent and its benefits. In 2014, while still in high school, he completed a 32, 256-piece puzzle(then the largest in the world). "When I completed my first huge puzzle, I invited friends and family to share my achievement," he says.1.

Now you    12    me $21.”I refused to believe that a $10 loan could more than double so quickly. Much to my    13   , my sister got her pencil and tablet and showed me exactly how it all added up.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Preparing for Your First Job InterviewYou’ve just graduated from school. Now comes the scary part: interviewing for your first job. For many recent graduates, this is an anxiety-provoking time. However, there are some simple ways to prepare for this challenging experience. First, you should make a list of the questions you might be asked. In many job interviews, you have to answer questions about your academic experience and how it has prepared you for the job. For example, you might be asked to discuss how your participation in student union or sports has given you experience working on a team. You will, of course, also be asked how your experience and talents fit with the company’s goals. Once you’ve got your question, you should then think about possible answers and practice responding to them. Employers will expect you to talk in detail about your experience and use examples. Make sure that your answers describe particular situations you faced, the actions you took and the results you achieved. Once you’ve got your responses, try practicing on your friends or family members. This will make you feel comfortable speaking in front of a person. Finally don’t get discouraged if you aren’t hired the first, second, or third time you are interviewed. Think of every interview as practice for the most important one: the interview that will get you a job.【答案】Many graduates feel anxious about the first job interview. Fortunately, three ways are provided to prepare for it. First, list questions that may be asked, especially questions about academic experience and how your experience matches the job. Then prepare possible answers in detail and practice them on others. Finally, don’t lose heart and regard every interview as practice.【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，许多毕业生对第一次面试感到焦虑。幸运的是，文章提供了三种准备方法。首先，列出可能会被问到的问题，特别是关于学术经历的问题，以及你的经历如何与工作匹配的问题。然后详细准备可能的答案，并在别人身上练习。最后，不要灰心，把每次面试都当作练习。【详解】1 要点摘录 ①For many recent graduates, this is an anxiety-provoking time.

Instead, they exercised by working on the land and by walking everywhere. Now, however, people do not take as much exercise. Many people work in offices or factories where they do not have to move around very much. Now that cities are so big, few people walk to work. They drive or travel by bus or train. With modern telecommunications technology, they don’t have to move around to get messages delivered. What they have to do is just to press buttons on their phones or other devices.Because of this unhealthy modern lifestyle, many people try to exercise in other ways. Jogging and running are very popular. Going to the gym is also a popular way of getting exercise. Many women prefer to go to aerobic (有氧的) classes at the gym. In these classes, music is played loudly and an instructor shouts out instructions for the exercises. The people in the class run, stretch and jump around for an hour or more. Men and women also do weight training at the gym. They lift heavy weights to build up their muscles.Although thousands of people do these sorts of exercises every day, some experts believe that they are actually bad for the body. Running on hard surfaces like roads can damage your feet and knees, and aerobic and weight training can be dangerous if the instructor is not properly trained. It’s easy to hurt yourself if you lift heavy weight or exercise hard for a long time.The experts believe that more gentle forms of exercise are better. They advise people to walk more as it is one of best ways to exercise, and does not damage the body at all. They also suggest traditional Chinese exercises such as Tai Chi because these activities are better for the body than hard, fast activities like running. Tai Chi trains your flexibility and improves your sense of balance. Meanwhile, it has the least harmful effect on your joints and knees.【答案】With the development of technology, people do not exercise as much as they did. In order to keep fit, they turn to other ways of exercise. However, some experts think that some sorts of exercise turn out to be bad or even dangerous for the body. Therefore, more gentle exercises are recommended, for they do little damage to the human body.【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，随着科技的发展，人们锻炼得不像以前那么多了。为了保持健康，他们尝试其他锻炼方式，比如慢跑和跑步等锻炼方式。然而，一些专家认为有些运动对身体是有害的，甚至是危险的。专家们建议多做些温和的运动，比如多走路或打太极拳，因为这些运动对人体的伤害比较小。【详解】1.要点摘录①Now, however, people do not take as much exercise. ②With modern telecommunications technology, they don’t have to move around to get messages delivered. ③Because of this unhealthy modern lifestyle, many people try to exercise in other ways. ④Although thousands of people do these sorts of exercises every day, some experts believe that they are actually bad for the body. ⑤The experts believe that more gentle forms of exercise are better.⑥Meanwhile, it has the least harmful effect on your joints and knees.2.缜密构思将①②两个要点进行整合，③④两个要点进行重组，⑤⑥两个要点进行整合。3.遣词造句With the development of technology, people do not exercise as much as they did.In order to keep fit, they turn to other ways of exercise.However, some experts think that some sorts of exercise turn out to be bad or even dangerous for the body.Therefore, more gentle exercises are recommended, for they do little damage to the human body.
