Tea Drinkers Enjoy Possible Health Benefits
The world is full of tea drinkers. ___1___ But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not.
Past studies in China and Japan, where green tea is popular, have suggested several health benefits. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
___2___ They examined years of data gathered about the tea drinking behavior of almost 500,000 adults in Britain for as many as 14 years. Black tea is the most common kind of tea in Britain.

The research was published in Annals of Internal Medicine. The scientists said the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer. ___4___
Experts at the U. S. National Institutes of Health say polyphenols (茶多酚) are thought to be responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability and head pain, and help people with weight loss. Green tea has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
The study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. ___5___ The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors.
“If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” an expert said. “And please enjoy your cup of tea.”

Become a Better English Student with These Study Tips
●Study every day.
Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours by some estimates. Rather than try and cram (临时死记硬背) a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. ____6____
●Keep things fresh.
Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much. ____7____ The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.
●Read, watch, and listen.
Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll begin to unconsciously absorb things like pronunciation, speech patterns, accents, and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down words you read or hear that are unfamiliar. ____8____ Use them the next time you are role- playing dialogues in class.
●____9____
Even advanced students of English can struggle to learn prepositions (介词), which are used to describe duration, position, direction, and relationships between objects. There are literally dozens of prepositions in the English language (some of the most common include “of” “on” and “for”) and few hard rules for when to use them. Instead, experts say, the best way to learn prepositions is to memorize them and practise using them in sentences. Study lists such as this one are a good place to begin.
●Write it down.
Repetition is the key as you’re learning English, and writing exercises are a great way to practise. Take 30 minutes at the end of class or study to write down what happened during your day. ____10____ By making a habit of writing, you’ll find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time.
A．Practise your prepositions.
B．20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty.
C．There are a number of words in the English language.
D．Some words are spelled differently and have different meanings.
E．Then, do some research to learn what those new words mean.
F．It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
G．As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.

Gardening may be one of the most relaxing hobbies you’ll find, with the excitement of seeing something you have planted actually turn into a flower. But if you’ve been holding back because you don’t have a yard, then you’re missing out a lot.____11____
Container gardening is the most obvious way to plant when you don’t have a ton of space. If you can get a container regardless of its size, you can have a garden.____12____Even a small pot with a brightly colored flower or bushy green plants can give your entryway a pop of color.
____13____Grow climbing plants on a fence or the posts over your doorway to decorate the side of your home. Plenty of plants are happy to grow up instead of out, so you can have some greenery without a traditional garden.
Have an apartment or townhouse? Then consider outdoor window boxes that you access from inside.____14____And they give you plenty of options to plant bright blooms or fresh herbs within reach-plus they give your home some added appeal at the same time.
There’s probably still one room where you haven’t thought of putting some plants: Your bathroom. Even if yours doesn’t get much light, a wall-mounted garden can still grow well.____15____They will give your bathroom a more natural, earthy feel.
A．These require, no ground space at all.
B．When plants get enough sunlight, they grow better.
C．If you’re really short of space, think height instead.
D．They can add some green to the inside of your home.
E．Bigger pots give you space to grow several different flowers.
F．In fact, there are plenty of easy ways to get the joy of gardening.
G．Plants that do well in shady and wet environments are the best choice.

A healthier message is to say “I know you feel scared right now, but I also know you’re strong enough to face your fears.”
___17___
It’s easy to give in when your children are losing their tempers. But each time you give them what they want, you teach your children that their unacceptable acts are an effective way to get their needs met. If you want to raise mentally strong kids, stick to your limits.
Spoiling Your Children
___18___. But there’s a lot of research that shows just how unhealthy over-protection is for kids.

Let them know what it’s like to experience disappointment, and teach them how to work for things they want to have.
Expecting Perfection

And another swimmer, Sandria Simons, told the BBC, “the immersion (浸) of your body in cold, salt water, just feeling like you’re at one with nature if you like, just feels amazing.”
But what are people gaining from this chilly experience? Doctors say getting into cold water causes a stress response, but the more you do it, your reaction to stress is reduced. It’s also thought to have a strong anti-inflammatory (消炎的) effect. __24__. Some experts believe cold-water swimming helps “cross-adaptation”, where one form of stress prepares the body for another. For example, it also helps reduce the stress of exercising at high altitudes.
___25___: approach it with caution, swim with a friend, and maybe start in the summer, when the water temperatures are higher!
A．A cold swim wakes you up
B．Want to have a go at open water swimming

Conservation is the main focus of most zoos today. Public perception has, to a large extent, not yet caught up with this shift in focus. Zoos put an enormous effort into educating the public about their valuable role as conservation centers.
At the same time, most people come to zoos at least in part to be entertained.___26___The recent addition of a giraffe-feeding platform at the Reid Park Zoo in Tues on, Arizona, has been wildly successful. Most of the program’s profits go to conservation projects around the world.
Zoo professionals put a great deal of effort into tools and activities that provide animals with stimulation (刺激). It has been proven that captive (圈养) animals with habitat enrichment do much better than those without it.___27___Zookeepers may spend months developing a new form of enrichment and then discover that an animal has no interest in it.
Zoo keepers often stimulate natural behaviors by using techniques such as hiding food in enclosures so that animals need to search and reach for it.___28___Some zoos make frozen taste treats for their animals, in eluding rats and fish.
Many zoos do some amount of behavioral training of animals-often as a way to enable staff to provide better care. For example, lions and tigers can be trained to touch a “target” or to put their tails through a fence. Later, they will accept an injection in the same manner. A baboon (狒狒) can be trained to present a shoulder for the same purpose.___29___
A constant concern at all zoos is where money is going to come from. It takes a huge amount of money to keep and care for zoo animals, maintain exhibits, and pay staff salaries.___30___Every zoo has a “wish list” of projects, including updating exhibits and developing new ones.
A．Zoos must always look for ways to pay for expenses.

G．The goal of enrichment is to keep animals stimulated for as long a time as possible, and efforts involve a great deal of trial and error.

How to Take to Become a Morning Person
As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health. ____31____ Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.
●Seek out as much natural light as possible. The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. ____32____ When you wake up, pop outside for a walk around the block, or sit out back while you sip a cup of coffee. Besides, the black-out curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment isn’t recommended. If the brightness bothers you overnight, consider wearing an eye mask that you take off as you start to wake up.
● ____33____ There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising. You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired in the first few days but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. You can shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.
●Go to bed early in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same rising time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night. ____34____ Cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, because being exposed to artificial light in the late evening holds back your body’s ability to generate melatonin (褪黑素), which can interfere with both your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.
●Plan something to look forward to. To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m... ____35____
A．Ease in gradually.
B．Be consistent with your schedule.
C．You’re not fearing it if you think of these.
D．The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
E．Enough sleep will enhance your immune function.
F．However, it really needs dramatic courage to pull yourself out of the warm bed.
G．Thus, you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.

Scientists and researchers have long sought to understand why people cry when experiencing joy or happiness. Crying can be confusing to witness on a joyous occasion, but it happens often. ____36____ .
You have repressed feelings.
____37____ . This meant that people who cried when experiencing something joyous had underlying feelings of sadness they hadn’t addressed. Many researchers have countered the theory over the years, but it appears to be one of the earliest attempts to understand why we cry when we are happy.
____38____ .
Tears contain enzymes(酶), lipids(脂质), electrolytes(电解质), and metabolites(代谢物). But emotional tears might also include other proteins and hormones. It is assumed that release of stress hormones like prolactin(催乳激素) and leu-enkephalin(内啡肽) may help regulate the body’s physical and emotional homeostasis(自我平衡).

Give a hug. Hugging someone shows your affection and care. ____42____ This can make them feel relaxed and open to you. This can also help them recognize that you are there to help them go through this moment. With no kind and loving words, your actions have already said a lot.
____43____ Now, go on and say some kind words. Words like “I’m here”, “we are in this together”, “you’ll get over this”, “lean on me” and so on, can help a sad person feel better and know that you’re there to take him/her through the sad moment.
Use the right tone of voice. ____44____ They go along with tone to convey a meaning to the listener. To convey your words with faith that would create a positive effect on the sad person, you would need to say it with the right tone of voice.

Modern humans have only existed for a relatively short time, and maybe we’d like to stick around a lot longer. But how can we do that?
Figure out climate change.
__46__There have been times in the past when it’s been hotter than it is today, and times when it’s been cooler. But there is something different about the past century. As far as we can tell from the record, there has been no time in Earth’s entire history when the climate has warmed so much in such a short amount of time. __47__There are: more frequent and more severe extreme weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes; droughts increasing; more changeable weather, with seasons beginning to lack regularity; and sea level rises. While climate change doesn’t necessarily pose an existential threat to human existence, it surely poses a threat to how we like to live our lives in modern society.
Figure out nuclear weapons.
A single nuclear weapon doesn’t pose a threat to all of humanity, but the thousands of them in the world right now certainly do. __48__Just consider all the “near misses” in recent history, where nuclear war was avoided thanks only to the quick thinking of individuals. We can only try our luck for so long. And one accident can lead to larger scale nuclear conflict. __49__
Figure out asteroids(小行星).
If you want to know the terrible consequences for ignoring space borne threats, just ask the dinosaurs how well it worked out for them. Asteroids have the ability to cause massive extinction events, wiping out vast numbers of entire species. __50__ For humanity to make it to the long-term, we need to equip ourselves with asteroid detection and reduction strategies
A．The consequences can’t be avoided.
B．Countries are joining hands to solve it.
C．Now the chances of one nuclear explosion increase.

Trees are the most cost-effective tool in the fight against climate change. Trees clean the air and clear up carbon. They foster biodiversity and support critical habitats.For example, ring-tailed lemurs are considered one of the most endangered creatures on the planet One of the reasons is that half of the forests they depend on were cut down.___53___.
Trees can save our lives too. Reports indicate in 2022 alone, heat waves across Europe caused an estimated 20,000deaths. Scientists point to trees as a way to protect these urban heat islands, saying that increasing Europe’s tree shade by 30% could prevent thousands of deaths.___54___In fact, doctors in Canada are so convinced of nature’s benefits for the mind and body, they started prescribing patients free passes to national parks.
___55___In some communities, trees are an important food source.In others, they’re a symbol of environmental recovery. When planted near streams and rivers, they clean and filter the water. When planted in the right place, trees can help you bring down energy costs for your home.
A．Where there’s a need, trees can fill it.
B．However, it’s still easy for us to ignore them.

Finding the Energy to Take Action
Many of us think that the thing that is holding us back from living our dreams most is a lack of time. Thus time management is widely believed to be a crucial skill if we want to be able to achieve what we want and to make real change in our life.
Of course, this isn’t wrong as time management is indeed a very important skill and most of us do need more time to do the things we want to do. ____56____ An even bigger piece that we all too often overlook is energy management. Here we will look at why energy management is such an important aspect of your success and how to start handling it better.
____57____ Perhaps we want to spend some time learning another language. Maybe we want to cook a nice homemade meal. Or maybe we just want to work out or pay some bills. Either way, there’s a good chance that what will actually happen when you get home is that you’ll sit down on the sofa. ____58____
What you’re now experiencing is a lack of energy. Once you’ve had dinner, you may well find that you no longer have the enthusiasm for those bills or that workout. ____59____ So how do you get that energy back?
One simple answer is to go to bed earlier and to wake up later. To start putting sleep at the forefront of your priorities instead of at the back of them. ____60____ Instead of expending energy doing things that don’t really matter—even stressing over what to wear—understand that your mental energy is on a strict budget and that you need to conserve it to do the things you really want to do!

Autistic (自闭症的) children are as known as “children of the stars”0 They may have difficulties communicating with other people. ____66____ By combining music with mobile technology, three students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have tried to help them with an app called Starrypia.
Tan Yilan, Zhang Junwei and Cai Yu spent five months building their AR-gamified therapy app for children with autism. Children use the app to scan things around them. ____67____ Then they rearrange the parts to create songs. The songs would be recorded in their music diaries.
“This is actually a kind of music therapy. ____68____ The process also trains their abilities.” said Tan. The app encourages children to scan and identify dolls, animals and plants. They even designed different levels, guiding users from their surroundings to nature.
According to the app’s developers, traditional music therapy is usually taken in hospitals. ____69____ But Starrypia makes the process more like a game. Besides, it can be used anytime and anywhere, making the therapy lighter and easier.
Starrypia will soon come out on the APP Store. ____70____ They will return the income to their families.

Higher self-esteem

Just think about how hard it is not to say hi when you see someone walking down the street with a super cute puppy. ___139___. Pets have also been a saving grace for some people who have been isolated during the pandemic.
Maybe even a healthy heart!
Research shows that people who own pets have better cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, reduced risk of high blood pressure and lower rates of heart disease than those who don’t. However, it’s hard to say whether that’s due to the animals themselves, notes Pendry.
