A daily multivitamin (复合维生素) may give your wellbeing an extra benefit, but if you’ve ever swallowed one and felt sick right after, you know it’s hardly a pleasant experience. 1
·You’re taking vitamins on an empty stomach.
Vitamins that are more acid in nature, like vitamin C, may cause nausea (恶心) if they’re consumed on an empty stomach. Vitamins A, D, E and K, unlike some others, maybe better absorbed when not taken with food.
2
Vitamins are like medicines in that they can act on each other and other medicines you’re taking. 3 Some research suggests that multivitamins could cause side effects when taken at the same time estrogen (雌激素) levels are raised.
·There’s a lot of iron in your pill.
Multivitamins that contain a lot of iron or iron supplements themselves can cause nausea. This is especially true if you’re taking them outside of a meal. Iron is interesting in that it’s best absorbed on an empty stomach, but it’s hardest to take on an empty stomach because of the nausea. 4 It might decrease the absorption a little bit but it’s better than nothing.
·Allergic Reaction Side Effects.
Since multivitamins contain so many vitamins and minerals, allergic reactions are certainly possible. Mild allergic reactions can include itchiness (痒) and a few hives (荨麻疹). 5 Should you experience more advanced signs of an allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing, chest pain, widespread hives or a swollen facial region, visit the closest emergency room immediately.
The label on your vitamins should provide directions for taking them. Check the information before taking it to see what else you should know.
A．You’re taking vitamins with other medicines.
B．Below are a few reasons why they may be making you ill.
C．It’s important to discuss with an expert the timing of these vitamins.
D．These stomach issues can be extremely disturbing.
E．It’s better to take it with food than trying to take it on an empty stomach.
F．If you experience these side effects, stop use and contact your doctor.
G．Please review the combinations to make sure there are no harmful interactions.

During job or school interviews, you’re likely to be asked what your strengths and weaknesses are, because the interviewers are interested in how your areas of strengths and weaknesses might affect your performance in this position. 6 For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you’re applying for an office job, this strength may be irrelevant.
However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a piece of cake. It takes self-awareness and self-reflection. 7 Or, ask some of your friends what they see as your best qualities or shortcomings.
8 For example, let’s say my strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to have the same career. We might go about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to get my dream job and you planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you tried something creative, both of us might fail. 9
Having a weakness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It could be something you struggle with, but it could also be something you haven’t spent time developing yet. 10 For example, maybe your area of weakness is relevant to gratitude. You just haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before. But now you engage in a bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength. Hey, now you’ve got one more skill!
A．Is it proper to begin with a truthful answer?
B．So ask yourself what you are good or weak at.
C．Our areas of strengths can help us achieve our goals.
D．Thus, it’s helpful to know your strengths related to the role.
E．Many job applicants are unsure how to approach this question.
F．By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.
G．That’s why it is important to know and use our strengths to reach goals.

Communication is a way of putting across one’s ideas and opinions and listening to those of the others. Many people understand the importance of communication and want to communicate their points to the other people. However, they are unable to do so. 11 Here are a few ways to communicate effectively.
Avoid interruption. Interruption can be extremely impolite. 12 Constantly interrupting the other person can make them wander from the point and the conversation can take a different turn.
Listen patiently. Healthy conversation requires listening patiently as much as it requires putting one’s point across. In order to communicate effectively, you must first listen to what the other person has to say.
13 Your body language speaks volumes about you. It is essential to keep your body language warm and friendly rather than arrogant (傲慢的). Many people unintentionally give a wrong message through their body language. If you are not sure, then it is a good idea to learn the art of body language.
Don’t go overboard (过火) with your point. 14 It is not to prove that your point is correct and the other person is wrong. Many people try to win the conversation which is absolutely wrong. It leads to unnecessary arguments and conflicts (冲突).
Watch your words. Before you say something to someone make sure you know what you are saying. At times, out of anger or anxiousness, we say things that we must not say. Remember, words once spoken cannot be taken back. 15
A．Watch your body language.
B．Two-way communication is important.
C．This is because they lack good communication skills.
D．It is thus suggested not to say something you might regret later.
E．So, it is essential to understand the importance of communication.
F．The reason behind conversation is to let the other person know what you feel.
G．It is essential to let the other person complete his point before you make yours.

Looking for a way to be happier? Are you seeking deeper connections with friends or looking for more friends? 16 Try a little compassion.
Compassion, as one scholar describes it, is “experiencing feelings of loving kindness toward another person’s suffering”. The compassionate tend to have deeper connections with others and more friends. 17 Compassion also has direct personal benefit. The compassionate tend to be happier, healthier, more self-confident, and less self-critical.
Practicing compassion doesn’t have to cost you money. All you need is a quiet place. 18 Focus on your breath and try to clear your mind. Then mentally focus on your heart area and think about someone you feel tenderness toward. This could be your friend or your family. 19 As time allows, add more people to that circle. This may sound a little strange, but studies have shown this simple exercise really strengthens your sense of compassion.
Even short-term exercises like this broaden your attention, your thinking and your overall sense of well-being in a way that lasts. 20 Compassion helps your brain become more flexible, and lets your brain have a wider sense of what’s going on, and it gives you access to more ideas on how to act.
This practice is beneficial to physical health and can help reduce physical signs of stress. And the happiness that can come from compassion training is the kind that lasts.
A．Want to relate better to other people?
B．That’s in part because it changes your brain.
C．Compassion training is helpful to reduce stress.
D．In that quiet space, sit in a comfortable position.
E．Then expand that feeling to yourself and to others.
F．However, it is important to create a comfortable environment.
G．They are more forgiving and have a stronger sense of life purpose.

There are countless articles online that will give you advice on how to deal with homesickness, but here are some of my favorite advice and tips on what has helped me. 21 .
Make food from your home country
And if you don’t cook, try learning to cook with friends or find new places to eat. This may just be me loving food, but eating with friends really makes things so much better. 22 .
Food can be connected to memories. You can talk about what this reminds you of, while also creating new memories to mix with the ones that make you miss home.
Call home—but not every minute of every day
I was a little annoyed when I saw so many online sources phrase it this way: “Talk to your parents—but not too much. Call home—but not too often.” 23 . It’s good to keep in touch with your family and friends. However, it’s a problem when you’re talking to them so much that it’s stopping you from having real experience in this new place.
24 . Call the people you love often, keep them updated with your life and ask them how life is going for them. You’re going to need that. Think of it this way—the more you’re living outside of your room, the more you can tell them later about everything you’re learning.
25
There is nothing wrong with finding someone to talk about how you’re feeling. It can be friends and family, mentors or professors that you feel can understand you. Or it may mean talking to a counselor or getting psychological help if that’s what you think you need. Talking about mental health is becoming a lot more open. So, if you’re feeling homesick, it can also be helpful to do some research on who your university recommends you reach out to.
A．Talk to someone
B．Do some research
C．There is nothing wrong with being homesick
D．So, of course, keep in touch with your family
E．Hopefully, they will be helpful to you as well
F．But, the thing is, they really have a point when they say that
G．It’s a way to bond, an excuse to get closer, and you even get rewarded from it

I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. 26 So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals.
My reputation for doing this has grown. 27 Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. 28 In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free.
29 When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. 30
A．Everyone can do the same.
B．I could hardly have imagined it would happen.
C．It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them.
D．What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture.
E．I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience.
F．Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person.
G．I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers.

For decades, I was a hard drinker who could drink anyone under the table. This lasted from the age of 27 until after 50, a golden time during which I felt very sorry for ex-drinkers and people who couldn’t or wouldn’t drink. How did they make it through social situations, especially parties? What did they do at the end of a workday to celebrate and relax? 31
When I first tried to quit drinking myself in my early 50s, I wasn’t sure at first how it would work for me. But I did it anyway. 32 I was getting older. I had to concede that I wasn’t as tough as I used to be. Nights of drinking too much showed in my face, and I could feel it in my bones. I wanted to take care of myself. So for the next few years, I bounced between not drinking at all for months at a time, then slowly starting again until I had to quit again.
During these years, I didn’t love not drinking. But I had to admit that when I was off booze, I looked and felt better physically: I slept more deeply, had more energy, exercised more. My mind was clearer. My moods were brighter. Parties were hard, and so was cooking at the end of a day of writing without a glass of wine at my elbow. 33
I finally quit drinking for real almost four years ago, on 12 July 2019, when a writer friend stayed with my husband and me after his wife kicked him out. After my husband had gone upstairs to bed, my friend sat on our sofa drinking an entire bottle of gin, complaining about his fate, until he passed out next to our dog, whose bed that sofa was. 34 I didn’t have a drink the next night, or ever again since.
I’m not going to lie: being sober is not a hot-air balloon ride. 35 Having to feel my damn feelings without filters compels me to face and change the things in my life that keep me stuck. Hard work all around, but as my reward, I connect more deeply with the people I care about. I think of not drinking as a kindness I’ve given myself. And to my surprise, it’s rewarded me with true, hard-won happiness.
A．My body demanded it.
B．My health started improving rapidly.
C．It’s more like a hike in the mountains.
D．How did they quit drinking?
E．It was a wake-up call.
F．But the pluses seemed to outweigh the minuses.
G．How did they get through life?

The Healing Power of Water
Water can help. 36 They include reducing anxiety, easing mental tiredness and refreshing us. Here’s some advice on how to control and use the healing power of water.
● Remember that all water counts.
You likely have some close by, even if it is just a stream alongside the road. 37 Then ranch out to water you can visit on the weekend or a vacation.
Urban water matters — rivers, canals and fountains. 38 If you can’t get to actual water, then paintings, photographs, videos and movies can produce some of the same benefits.
Even virtual reality helps. In research studies, computer-generated virtual reality water scenes boosted participants’ moods, likely because they got to interact with the virtual environment.
● 39
Frequency makes a big difference. A 2019 study found that it takes at least two hours a week in nature to improve our well-being, although that time can be broken into smaller stretches. A more recent study found that spending a similar amount of time near water has the same benefits. Scientists also have found that people who peered into aquariums (水族馆) had lower heart rates and better moods after 15 minutes.
● Try a water sport.
And get good at it. This will help you experience a flow state where time and your worries fall away as you become fully engaged in what you are doing. When you become good at an activity, your brain changes. It forms new neural (神经的) pathways, which become faster and stronger. 40
A．Go often.
B．Start there.
C．Water helps your mind wander in a positive way.
D．So does domestic water — in pools, bathtubs, even basins.
E．Many of the most popular virtual reality water scenes involve water.
F．Spending time near oceans, lakes and other blue spaces can provide many benefits.
G．This makes it easier to enter a state of flow while doing this same activity next time.

Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes. 41 —“Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”
What is my advice to beginners? I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained; 42 But that’s not what photography is about for me. If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here?” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over— 43 What does that mean? If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it. If I’m taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan, I make sure to find an angle that shows just how much they’ve harvested, but also a few close-ups of the weathered hands that are carefully sorting.
44 I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.
Do I have a good camera? Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer. 45 so start there, and start today.
A．Let the story guide you.
B．I have virtually no art experience.
C．Like anything, photography requires practice.
D．Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore.
E．Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.
F．It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.
G．I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens.

Animals enrich our lives. By caring for pets and domesticated(驯养的)animals and respecting animals in the wild, you can show your kindness to the animals.
46 . No matter how old your pet is, make sure you are ready to take care of it for the rest of its life-or yours. Animals have feelings and bonds(联系)with their ”pet parents“. If you don’t take this promise seriously, you may harm your animals.
Promote your animal’s health. A healthy animal is a happy animal. Taking care of your animal’s and other domesticated animals’ health with regular vet visits and watching for signs of illness can promote their health, well-being, and show your kindness towards them. Regular vaccinations(疫苗)are important for your animals. 47
Give your animals a comfortable personal space. Just like people, pets and other domesticated animals like horses enjoy sleeping, having separate time, playing, and cleanliness,   48 . It shows your kindness and can help create a strong bond between the two of you. Prepare a comfortable sleeping space with items like a pet bed, a box with a blanket, or a nice. pile of clean hay.
Feed your animals regularly. Part of an animal’s health is related to daily food and water. 49 . Give your animals food at the same time every day. Ask your vet or conduct online research to figure out how often you should feed your pet.
Show your love. Always show your animals how much you love them. 50 . This helps build trust and can make them more likely to approach and seek out quality time with you.
A．Make a lifelong promise
B．Interact at the right time
C．Use proper ways to show such an emotion
D．Unfortunately, not every person is kind to animals
E．Do make sure your animals receive yearly vaccinations

Most people buy a lot of gifts just before Christmas. But some people think we buy too much. They have started a special day called Buy Nothing Day. 56
Buy Nothing Day is on November 29. It’s 25 days before Christmas. It’s after Thanksgiving and often the first day of Christmas shopping. 57
The idea for Buy Nothing Day started in Vancouver, British Columbia. 58 In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs, and paint pictures. The children talk about why they don’t need a lot of toys. This year, in Manchester, England, people dressed up in costumes to tell people that we buy too much.
In Albuquerque, New Mexico, high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day. They organized a spaghetti dinner to give people information about Buy Nothing Day. 59 They made posters and talked to other students about it. The dinner was a big success, and many students agreed not to buy anything on November 29. The students at high schools liked the idea of this new tradition. 60
A．They don’t want anyone to go shopping on that day.
B．Now people all over the world celebrate Buy Nothing Day.
C．Many people think highly of the idea of Buy Nothing Day.
D．They asked restaurants in the neighborhood to donate the food.

A famous health tip says you’d better drink eight glasses of water (about two liters) a day. 61
An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his 20s should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters, 62
The study published recently in the journal Science described, for the first time, a set of equations (方程式) to predict human water turnover (周转率), an indicator reflecting the amount of water used by the body each day.
The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years, and from more than 20 countries, using special tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, but a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, 63
Since the metabolism (新陈代谢) and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent, 64 , according to the researchers.
“The majority of people perhaps don’t have to drink eight glasses of water a day,” says Zhang Xueying, co-first author of the paper and an assistant research fellow at the SIAT.
65 , including body size, physical activity, air temperature, humidity and altitude, according to the study. “it can be applied to individuals around the world,” says Zhang.
A．people are encouraged to drink less than 45 percent of the total daily turnover,
B．as the water requirements drop with he or she becoming older.
C．However, the results of a new study suggest that fewer are needed.
D．people living in developed countries have higher water turnover.
E．while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group.
F．The total water input and output vary according to multiple factors
G．But why do we need so much water?

We set off on our journey up Mount Wutai onto its peak to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful Bodhisattva Lights, ball-shaped lights floating in the whole sky with radiant beams. Seen from the foot of the mountain, the sky was gray and cloudy. 66 It sometimes appeared in white mist, and sometimes was completely covered by clouds.
On the mountainside, our clothing grew wet. 67 It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace. We spent the night at a small temple. The next morning we continued our climb in the rain. The road was more slippery than the day before, so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.
On the way, we were told the unusual phenomenon wouldn’t be observed in the rain. We sighed with disappointment. 68 And the sun set in the west, the clouds disappeared and the mist faded.
Eventually, we arrived at the peak, with the sky filled with stars. Late in the night, we got awake by a shout. “Get up. Hurry up to see the Lights!” We moved quickly, threw on a few pieces of clothing and ran out. It was cold, making our bodies shake from head to foot. 69 Just before our eyes, the mysterious phenomenon appeared.
Thousands of ball-shaped objects floated slowly in the distance, shining golden beams of light, as though the whole sky were filled with countless glowing lanterns. The balls moved across the sky at the same speed. 70 They were light and delicate. Meanwhile, we all just froze there, speechless with wonder, appreciating the incredible views.
A．It seemed to rain soon.
B．We had to stop for a shelter.
C．Unexpectedly, the sky began to clear.
D．In the distance stood the peak, unclear.
E．The road was slippery and difficult to walk.
F．However, our hearts were filled with excitement.
G．They were like goldfish swimming calmly in water.

I heard about a high school in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses to graduate, and if they didn’t pass a course, they got the grade “Not Yet”. I thought that was fantastic. 71 But if they got the grade “Not Yet”, they understood that they were on a learning curve.
“Not Yet” also gave me more insight. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so I gave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reacted in a shockingly positive way. 72 They understood that their abilities could be developed. They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence had been up for judgment and they failed.
I’ll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they would probably cheat then next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. 73 For the fixed mindset students, there was hardly any. They ran from error. They didn’t engage with it. But the students with the growth mindset engaged deeply, exhibiting increased electrical activity in their brains. They processed the error and learned from it.
74 First of all, we can praise wisely. Praise the process that kids engage in: their effort, their strategies, their focus, their perseverance, their improvement. We can also change students’ mindsets. Research found that students who were not taught growth mindset continued to show declining grades. 75
A．So what can we do?
B．The researchers explained two mindsets.
C．They said things like, “I love a challenge.”
D．If they continued, they would develop a negative mindset.
E．If they got a failing grade, they would think: I’m nothing, I’m nowhere.
F．But those who learnt this lesson showed a sharp rebound in their grades.
G．Scientists measured the electrical activity from the brain as students confronted an error.

How to deal with silent treatment?
Is someone you know giving you the silent treatment? Maybe you did something wrong: you embarrassed or humiliated the other person; You let them down or failed to give them your support when they needed it. 76 .
Be clear about what happened
You probably already know what it was that you said or did. 77 . You could say, “ I feel like there’s a problem between us and that you might be upset with me.” If you do know what happened between you to cause this gap, ask if you can talk.
78
Explain that you know what happened between you wasn’t good and that you’d like to be friends again. Ask them what their thoughts and feelings are now about what happened. Acknowledge what they say about how they feel, and then say how you feel. For example, “ I understand why you are upset and that you are angry. I feel sad/upset/bad about what happened, and I’d like to put things right. ”
Take responsibility and apologize
This doesn’t mean taking all the blame. 79 . For example, “ I know you wanted our situation to be kept private and I’ve really upset you by telling other people about it. I’m sorry I did that. I thought that talking about it to others would help me make sense of what was going on.”
Try only once
80 . You’ve done your best. Now, it is up to them. They may need more time to process what happened between you, so give them some space.
A．But if not, ask.
B．Share your past experiences.
C．Ask about thoughts and feelings.
D．It also means that we should keep it to ourselves.
E．No matter what it is, here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
F．If the other person refuses to restart talking to you, there’s nothing else you can do.
G．It simply means admitting your part in any wrongdoing and expressing that you’re sorry.

The human brain is the command centre for the nervous system and enables thoughts, memory, movement, and emotions.
81 As the population ages, the challenges for the preservation of brain health increase. It is therefore vital for seniors to understand how to protect it.
Exercise regularly. Regular physical exercise tends to help fight against the natural reduction in brain connections that occur during aging. Multiple studies show that physically active people are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lower risk of developing brain disease. 82
Have a “right” nap. Having a nap after lunch can be good for your brain and many seniors have developed such a good habit for long. 83 While a 30-min to 90-min nap has brain benefits, anything longer than an hour and a half may create problems with cognition, the ability to think and form memories.
84 Your brain is similar to a muscle - you need to use it or lose it. There are many things that you can do to keep your brain in shape, such as doing crossword puzzles, reading, or playing cards. You can also learn something new such as musical instruments, drawing, or even digital devices. Combine different types of activities to increase the effectiveness.
Eat a Mediterranean diet. Studies show people who closely follow a Mediterranean diet are less likely to have brain disease than people who don’t follow the diet. 85 However, we at least know that omega fatty acids found in olive oil and other healthy fats are vital for your cells to function correctly.
A．Stay mentally active.
B．Explore new interests if possible.
C．But keep in mind that the length matters.
D．Your diet plays a large role in your brain health.
E．The benefits result from increased blood circulation.
F．Maintaining a healthy brain is the primary goal in pursuing health.
G．Further research is needed to decide which parts of the diet help brain the most.

Communicating with Nature
The natural world is amazing. In fact, it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. 86 Apart from the obvious-that it’s an enjoyable, uplifting thing to do-you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health, for example.
When you arrive at your chosen spot, sit quietly for a few moments. 87 Just talk in your head as you would to someone you’re opening a conversation with. “Hey, I’m Nikki. How are you doing today? Do you have time for a chat?” It doesn’t matter what you say, so long as you say it with an open heart, and you make it clear that you’re inviting communication.
88 A million ways. You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically. You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind. Be mindful of what’s going on around you, be part of the natural world——you’ll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.
The first few times you attempt this exercise, you probably won’t see, hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. 89 If you practice this on a regular basis, however, you will start to pick things up. As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you, you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.
90 There should be some benefit to nature, just as there is a benefit to you. When your time is over and you’re ready to leave, say thank you energetically and in your mind, but also say thank you in a practical way. Leave the area in a better state than you found it, for example, by picking up rubbish on your way out.
A．That’s OK. It doesn’t happen overnight.
B．How will you know if nature responds to you?
C．Communication with nature should be a two-way street.
D．And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.
E．How can you start communicating with the natural world?
F．It just depends on what you choose for your “conversation”.
G．You may be wondering why you might want to communicate with nature.

How to Listen to a Teen’s Complaints
As your child reaches his teen years, he’s likely experiencing a conflict  (冲突) between his social and family lives. This often causes frequent complaining (抱怨). 91 By listening to your teen’s complaints in an active way, you make your relationship better and allow for better joint decision­making.
92 You can see complaints from your teen as natural and positive, though the actual content of what he says might be negative (负面的). Believe that listening to your teen’s complaints is a chance to know your teen better. By psychologically preparing yourself in this way, the conversation will go forward more easily.
Accept your teen’s feelings. Understand that your teen’s complaining behavior might be wrong but that his feelings are never wrong. Recognize that negative emotions are natural and do not easily fall under the control of teens or even adults. Note that your teen is at least handling his negative emotions in the right way — through words. 93
Listen patiently and carefully. 94 Listen for the words in his complaints, such as “I am sick of this” or “It’s unfair to me”. This often shows his feelings. Through body language or eye contact, show your teen you are listening to him carefully.
React to your teen’s complaints. 95 If you disagree, explain why. Finish the conversation by praising him for coming to you and expressing himself.
A．Do you think your reply is right?
B．Allow your teen to express his dissatisfaction.
C．Prepare yourself to listen to something negative.
D．This is normal but not something parents should ignore.
E．Parents should figure out what causes his complaints.
F．If you agree with his complaints, discuss ways to solve the problem.
G．However, keep in mind that accepting his feelings does not mean you accept his complaints.

For most of the recorded history of bicycles, wearing a helmet was something that was limited to professionals participating in competitions. 96
Nowadays, people are more aware of the need to make reasonable preparations to enjoy cycling safely. 97 The fact is that it is unsafe to engage in this sort of behavior. Here are some facts that help explain why no one should ride a bicycle without a helmet.
A helmet can protect the rider from head injuries. Tens of thousands of bike riders are admitted to emergency rooms every year. In most cases, the rider was not wearing a bicycle helmet. The fact is that riding bicycle without a helmet is like operating a motor vehicle without wearing a seat belt. 98 The types of injuries range from simple cuts to major damage that causes swelling and pressure on the brain and even death.
99 In many instances, accidents involving bike riders also include some sort of motor vehicle. In a crash between the two devices, the rider of the bicycle is much more likely to suffer a serious injury. Helmets cushion (缓冲) the skull at the point of impact, minimizing the chances of any type of permanent damage that could result in brain damage or even death.
Adults should set an example for teens, teaching the value of safety by their actions. 100 Teens should also be engaged in setting the example for younger children.
A．Then a helmet makes your head safe.
B．Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates bicycling.
C．Still, some people continue to ride a bicycle without a helmet.
D．Wearing a helmet yourself will encourage others to do likewise.
E．Bicycle helmets are designed to help absorb the shock of a crash.
F．In both cases, there is an increased risk of bodily harm, even permanent injury.
G．Until the 1980s, a movement to encourage the use of bicycle helmets among all bike riders arose.

Rising parental expectations and criticism are linked to an increase in perfectionism among college students. 101 They may include depression, anxiety and self-harm.
102 Prior research has shown that perfectionists become more neurotic (神经质的) and less careful as they get older. Perfectionism also can pass through generations, with perfectionist parents raising perfectionist children.
Three types of perfectionism were increasing among young people. Self-oriented perfectionism involves perfectionist standards about the self. 103 That is to say, someone expects others to be perfection. Socially prescribed perfectionism is the perception that other people and society require perfection. The three types of perfectionism interact and even worsen the effects of each other in negative ways.
Parental expectations had a larger impact than parental criticism on self-oriented and other-oriented perfectionism. 104 Parental expectations have a high cost when they’re perceived as excessive. Young people take in those expectations and depend on them for their self-esteem. And when they fail to meet them, they’ll be critical of themselves for not matching up. To compensate, they strive to be perfect.
Parents can help their children navigate societal pressures in a healthy way by teaching them that failure, or imperfection, is a normal and natural part of life. Another method is to focus on learning and development, not test scores or social media to help children develop healthy self-esteem. 105
A．Perfectionism often becomes a lifelong character.
B．So parental expectations maybe more damaging.
C．It can have damaging mental health consequences.
D．Self-respect is important to teenagers’ development.
E．Other-oriented type is perfectionism turned outward.
F．These ways can be effective to cope with perfectionism.
G．The older they are, the more likely they will be perfectionists.

When suffering from social anxiety, you will be frightened to deal with some situations. Wherever your fear arises, you are likely to experience sweating, flushing, feeling your heart race, or other symptoms of anxiety. 106
Relaxing your muscles.
107 For deep muscle relaxation, you will tighten and then relax the major muscle groups of your body, starting with your feet and stretching your way towards your head and face.
108
Controlling your breathing is another good way to deal with your emotions. When you’re anxious, your breathing becomes faster and not as deep. Consequently, you’ll feel dizzy, which brings on more anxiety. Learning to breathe slower and more regularly through your nose will help you calm down.
Adopting visualization.
The key to visualization is to remember a place that made you feel safe and comfortable. Create a vivid picture of that place in your mind so that you can feel, see; smell and even taste it. 109 Keep trying and you will benefit from it eventually.
Facing your anxiety.
Most people with social anxiety want to hide, avoid, or run away from whatever they’re scared of. 110 When using this method, focus on what’s going on around you instead of what’s going through your mind. That should help you distract yourself from those anxious thoughts.
A．Breathing via your nose.
B．Taking your breath slowly.
C．It takes time and patience to practice this technique, however.
D．This technique will help you better handle the situation of being desperate.
E．Luckily, there exist ways to tackle social anxiety, whatever your symptoms.
F．As is recognized, learning to physically relax is a good approach to manage anxiety.
G．But if you face anxiety bravely, you’ll be aware that it is simply something you can live with after a few exposures.

Back pain can make it difficult for many people to function in everyday life. 111 If you suffer from back pain, read on for four everyday fixes.
Our bodies need adequate movement throughout the day to avoid the stiffness that contributes to aches and pains. If the weather is good, don't hunt for the nearest parking spot; don't take the elevator when you have the option of one or two flights of stairs. When you need to sit for long periods, set a timer to get up every hour and be active for just a few minutes. 112
When we overuse our dominant side, we create muscle patterns of weakness and tension that increase pain, especially in our backs. Consider the actions you take repeatedly throughout the day that shift your weight to one side. 113 And use your opposite hand every so often for basic activities, such as opening doors.
Psychological stress is a noted risk factor for back pain, according to research. Most mental stress is caused by focusing on the past or future. 114 A few minutes a day of mindfulness can go a long way toward minimizing the impact of stress. Additionally, mindfulness practices like tai chi have all shown effectiveness in reducing back pain.
115 That is, you can create a game plan of daily activities to practice for back health. If your back hurts at the end of the day, don't just decide it was a “bad” day. Ask yourself if you practiced the activities to help you avoid the stress and tension. Taking an active, daily-life approach to maintaining a healthy body is the key to keeping back pain at bay.
A．Switch sides when you carry things.
B．It affects how you move, feel and think.
C．You should learn more about the cause of your pain.
D．Approach the health of your back as a responsibility.
E．So actively being mindful of the present reduces stress.
F．You'd better take a quick break to check in with your breathing.
G．More minutes of movement add up to big health benefits over time.

One of the first things people tend to lose when cutting personal budgets is their hobbies. 116 Actually, there are a bunch of suggestions for hobbies that will help you keep your spirits up without using up your money.
There are a lot of puzzles (智力游戏) in this world. You can find tons of puzzle books for free at libraries, and you can also turn to used books. So you can be addicted to this hobby for a very small budget. 117
When you think of photography as a hobby, you might think you need an expensive camera and lots of education. 118 And there are plenty of free online tools you can use to edit and improve the photos. Without spending a penny, you can get some impressive photos that you can post online.
If you’re looking for a free hobby, why not combine that restless energy with improved health and fitness? 119 You can start hiking any time. Running is another choice. You don’t necessarily need an expensive pair of shoes to take it up. And you can do yoga in your own home for free using a variety of online resources.
120 That is reading. With a library card or an e-reader, you can read tens of thousands of books without spending much. And best of all, you can use books to learn about other hobbies. Making reading your hobby can have a social aspect to it as well, as you can join or form a book club to read and discuss books with others.
A．That’s because hobbies can be expensive.
B．Finally, there is one of the oldest hobbies around.
C．Signing up for a gym class can actually be a good choice.
D．There’re often activities for all levels of fitness and difficulty.
E．But a ton of hobbies that you can take up don’t cost much at all.
F．What you get in return are hours of fun that will keep your mind sharp.
G．But the truth is that you can go pretty far with just a smartphone and some fundamentals.

Trying to motivate yourself to exercise can sometimes feel like a fruitless attempt. Here are some tips on setting your mind on getting active, and getting fit.
Make your fitness goals known. Tell your family, friends and co-workers about your fitness goals and encourage them to ask you how your goals come along. 121
Make an appointment with your doctor. Ask the doctor about your health condition and how becoming more physically fit can help you become healthier. 122 A government study found just three hours of advice by doctors over two years helped improve couch potatoes’ physical fitness.
123 If you’re new to exercise, it’ll be better to have a fitness professional set your goals rather than doing it alone. That means setting the weights on machines for you, determining how long you should walk or run, or giving you a time limit for the running machines.
Consider healthy living, not just workouts. Even if you spend three hours a week in the gym, what of the other 100-plus waking hours each week? Fit people keep energetic during their entire day. 124 You can simply stand up and walk around whenever you get on the phone and always take the stairs, not the lift.
Do it for charity. 125 If you fall into that category, then find a way to use your charitable nature to motivate yourself to exercise. For example, donate & 1 for every mile you walk. Or commit to several fund-raising events that involve walking, biking, dancing, or a sports match.
A．Hire a personal trainer.
B．Then ask for some suggestions.
C．Focus on what matters most to you.
D．Some of us get great satisfaction from helping others.
E．The ongoing everyday activity leads to a whole lot of fitness.
F．Documenting your workouts and progress is a good way to hold yourself accountable.
G．Knowing that everyone is watching you provides great motivation to stick to your goals.

Everyone has one or more talents. Bringing out the best in others can gradually change the world. 126 With patience, you can gradually find the admirable characteristics of people around you. Here are some ways to help you to identify and admire the talents of people around you.
Giving is a good way to find out the good qualities in others. Being kind doesn’t just mean helping someone financially. You can assist them with your advice, talents and so on. 127 Besides, you will know how they deal with their problems in life with a mind: never give up.
Talents adopt several forms and they put people in different circumstances. Thus, you need to be flexible to discover good qualities in others. Some people you come across may have different attitudes towards life from you. 128
Nobody is perfect and everyone has some shortcomings. However, these are useful to you. 129 Start by analyzing the shortcomings in others, and then you can easily find out the good qualities they already have.
130 One of the finest ways to discover good characteristics of others is to ask them something about their success and failure. The more you are curious, the more you will know about a person.
A．Develop an interest in others.
B．Live in the present to spot others’ talents.
C．Knowing one’s weaknesses is a great way to understand them.
D．For that, you need to learn to explore good qualities in others.
E．Discovering the good in others can bring out the best in yourself.
F．During this process, you will know what difficulty they are facing now.
G．Your biggest challenge is to put aside your own mind and see the bright spot of them.

Keeping Safe in Your House During a Fire
Though you may not think you’ll ever fall victim to a house fire, it’s better to be prepared to avoid panicking. To increase your chances of survival, just follow these steps.
React as soon as you hear your smoke alarm go off. On hearing your smoke detector or alarm going off and seeing a fire, exit your home as safely as possible. 131 Your only concern is to get out of there as fast as possible. Nothing else is as important as this. You should be getting yourself and your family members out safely.
Safely exit through doors. If you don’t see smoke at the door, open it slowly and pass through it after making sure the door feels cool. If there is a fire preventing you from exiting the room, close the door.
Protect yourself from smoke inhalation (吸入浓烟). Get low to the floor and crouch or crawl on your hands and knees to avoid the smoke. 132 Cover your nose and mouth if you have to walk by or through a room filled with heavy smoke.
133 If your clothes catch fire, immediately stop what you’re doing, drop flat onto the ground, and roll around until you put the fire out.
Prevent the smoke if you can’t get out. 134 Close your door and cover all vents (通风口 ) and cracks (缝隙) around it with cloth or tape to keep smoke out. Whatever you do, don’t panic. You can always reclaim some measures of control, even if you feel trapped.
Call for help from a secondstory window. 135 You can take a sheet or something else—white preferably—and hang it out the window to signify that you need help when the first responder get there.
A．If you can’t escape your home, don’t panic.
B．Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire.
C．You are probably a lot safer by closing doors.
D．Escape from a second­story window if you can.
E．Smoke inhalation causes people to become unconscious.
F．Do not try to get your phone, valuables, or your other important possessions.
G．If you are trapped in your second­story room, get to an area where people can find you.

Small eco-friendly(利于环保的) decisions can add up to make a huge difference to our planet. Being eco-friendly doesn’t need to empty your wallet when you travel. 136
Make flights a little greener if you need to take a flight for a trip. Do you know flying first class can be more than five times as heavy on carbon per person as flying economy class, according to studies? Why not fly economy class? 137 Therefore, you cut down on the weight of the airplane and save fuel and baggage charges.
138 If possible, choose the train instead of a flight. Those travelers who seek to reduce carbon emissions should seriously consider rail travel, especially for long distances.
Eat and drink locally. Step away from Starbucks and McDonald’s and seek out the best in local produce. Jonathan Engels, from Green Global Travel, recommends seeking out traditional local dishes rather than imported stuff to recreate the same unhealthy food we try to avoid at home.
139 If you choose a vegetarian diet, it is even better.
Do not disturb. One of the simplest ways you can help the environment is by hanging up a “Do not disturb” sign on your door. 140 You save the electricity needed to vacuum(用吸尘器打扫)，and the water needed to wash sheets and clean bathrooms, not to mention the harmful chemicals used in the cleaning process. Best of all, some hotel chains reward you for choosing not to have your room cleaned.
A．Slow down your travels.
B．Plan how to travel in advance.
C．It means you can conserve energy.
D．Have an enjoyable meal with friends or family.
E．You can also help by packing as light as possible.
F．Here are some easy tips to make a difference on holiday.
G．Street food is always a cheap way to experience the best a region offers.

The holiday tip can be a way to say thank you to the people who don’t hear it much from you throughout the year. 141 This is especially true for people who aren’t already in the habit of doing so.
About 30 percent of people are not planning to tip for the holidays, according to a survey by Care.com. a website that pairs families with caregivers. Of those who are giving, only 41 percent of people said they budgeted for it. About 30 percent are tipping cash only. 142
The list of whom to tip will be different depending on where you live and what your relationship is with the service provider. 143 give priority (优先) to the people who truly make your daily life easier, says Lizzie Post, author and spokeswoman for the Emily Post Institute. “You want to think about who it is that has really been in your life,” she says.
Think about tipping your baby sitter, especially if she is always available when things come up at the last minute, Post says. 144 People in big cities might want to thank their apartment building manager who holds packages for them at the front desk. For someone with a house in the suburbs, it may be more important to tip the garbage man or the gardener.
145 . For the people you already tip regularly, it may make more sense to give them a small gift instead. Don’t go into debt (债务) if you don’t have the cash to tip everyone on your list. Small gestures such as a homemade gift, a baked good or a handwritten note can still make a difference.
A．If you can’t tip everyone
B．After you have finished the list
C．And 60 percent are giving cash and gifts
D．The amount you tip changes from person to person
E．But don’t feel the pressure to tip everyone the same way
F．But figuring out whom to tip and how much to give can be stressful
G．For some pet owners, now may be a good time to thank their dog walker

Finishing my high school life in Canada, I started classes at the University of Toronto at the beginning of September and soon I found that there are lots of differences between Canadian high schools and universities.
146 Although high schools in Canada also need students to choose courses by themselves, most of the students have the same compulsory (必修的) classes, and the options (选择) are quite limited. For university students, almost everyone has different classes, as the classes one takes depend on one’s major. 147 There are hundreds of majors that students can choose from, and each major has at least three or four compulsory classes each year. Do the math and you’ll be surprised by how many options students have.
Each class has a maximum student number, usually between 100 to 300. 148 The university will assign (分派) a certain time for students to select classes on the course-enrolling website. So everything depends on one’s luck and fortune.
Even if a student doesn’t successfully enroll in the classes that he or she wants, they can still be on the waitlist. If someone drops a class, another student will automatically (自动地) be enrolled (注册). 149
Usually, there are two parts to most classes, the lecture and the tutorial (辅导课). Lectures usually have more than 100 students, and the instructors are the professors. For tutorials, they’re always run by teacher assistants, usually master’s or PhD students. Tutorials contain at most 30 students, and that’s where quizzes and discussions take place.
150 For instance, my philosophy professor asks us to finish one book every week, which is the hardest thing for me to do right now.
A．Take my university for example.
B．To me, the biggest difference is the course selection system.
C．There is a saying that goes, “If you are at ease with yourself in the world, the world will be at ease with you.”
D．The biggest challenge for a freshman in Canada is how to get on well with the teacher assistants.
E．Since universities in Canada have a longer summer holiday, the semesters are quite short, which means the progress of the class is very fast.
F．The limited number of students means that some students may not be enrolled in the classes that they want to get into.
G．Therefore, the university suggests that everyone should have a plan B in case something goes wrong.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个可以让人们进行有效交流的方法。
11．根据上文“Many people understand the importance of communication and want to communicate their points to the other people. However, they are unable to do so. (许多人理解沟通的重要性，并希望将自己的观点传达给其他人。然而，他们无法做到这一点)”可知，人们知道沟通的重要性，但却不能很好的沟通。结合下文提到的几个沟通技巧可知，出现这样的情况，是因为人们缺乏沟通技巧。C项“This is because they lack good communication skills.(这是因为他们缺乏沟通技巧)”符合题意，This指代上文“they are unable to do so”。故选C。
12．根据上文“Interruption can be extremely impolite.(打断别人是非常不礼貌的)”可知，打断别人说话非常不礼貌。由此可知，等别人说完，你再说话是基本礼仪。G项“It is essential to let the other person complete his point before you make yours.(在你提出你的观点之前，让对方完成他的观点是基本礼仪)”符合题意，且贴合本段主旨“Avoid interruption.(避免插话)”。故选G。
13．空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Your body language speaks volumes about you. It is essential to keep your body language warm and friendly rather than arrogant (傲慢的). Many people unintentionally give a wrong message through their body language. If you are not sure, then it is a good idea to learn the art of body language.(你的肢体语言充分说明了你。保持你的肢体语言温暖友好而不是傲慢是至关重要的。许多人无意中通过肢体语言传递了一个错误的信息)”可知，本段的建议是注意自己的肢体语言。A项“Watch your body language.(注意你的肢体语言)”可以作为本段主旨句。故选A。
14．根据主旨句“Don’t go overboard (过火) with your point.(不要过分强调你的观点)”和下文“It is not to prove that your point is correct and the other person is wrong. (这并不是为了证明你的观点是正确的，而另一个人是错误的)”可知，不要过分强调自己的观点，交流的目的不是证明谁对谁错。由此推知，空处陈述交流的真正目的——让其他人了解你的想法和感受。F项“The reason behind conversation is to let the other person know what you feel.(交流背后的原因是让对方知道你的感受)”符合题意。故选F。
15．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“At times, out of anger or anxiousness, we say things that we must not say. Remember, words once spoken cannot be taken back.(有时，出于愤怒或焦虑，我们会说一些我们不能说的话。记住，一旦说出的话就无法收回)”推知，我们不能因为糟糕的情绪说出一些让自己后悔的话，因为一些话一旦说出就无法收回。D项“It is thus suggested not to say something you might regret later.(因此，建议以后不要说一些你可能会后悔的话)”符合题意，且贴合本段主旨“Watch your words. (注意你的言辞)”。故选D。

(经常给你爱的人打电话，让他们了解你的生活，问问他们生活得怎么样。你需要那样做。这样想——你在外生活的时间越长，你以后就越能告诉他们你学到的东西。)”可知此处讲的是要经常给自己爱的人打电话的原因，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲虽然同家人联系太频繁会阻碍自己在新地方的体验，但是这并不代表不同家人联系，相反一定要同家人联系，D项So, of course, keep in touch with your family(所以，当然，要和家人保持联系。)指出要同家人保持联系，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选D项。

62．上一句“An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his 20s should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters(由中国深圳先进技术研究院的科学家领导的一个国际研究小组发现，20多岁的男性平均每天的饮水量应该是1.5到1.8升)”与E项“while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group(而同一年龄组的女性应该是1.3到1.4升)”同为研究对象中的两种不同人群的摄入水量的对比。故E选项“而同一年龄段的女性应该是1.3到1.4升”符合语境，故选E。
63．根据上文“The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years, and from more than 20 countries, using special tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, but a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters(研究人员使用特殊的跟踪方法调查了来自20多个国家的5604名年龄在8天到96岁之间的参与者。他们发现，20至35岁的男性每天消耗4.2升水，而30至60岁的女性每天消耗3.3升水)”可知，调查结果表明，30-60岁的女性比年龄比她们小的男性消耗的水量少。故B选项“随着他或她年龄的增长，对水的需求减少”符合语境，故选B。
64．根据上一句“Since the metabolism (新陈代谢) and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent (由于皮肤上的新陈代谢和水交换可以提供15%，而食物和饮水分别贡献了其余85%的一半)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出我们皮肤的新陈代谢和我们所摄入的水和食物已经给我们提供了一部分水，故A选项“建议人们饮水量不超过每日总量的45%”符合语境，故选A。
65．根据后文“including body size, physical activity, air temperature, humidity and altitude, according to the study(包括身体大小、身体活动、空气温度、湿度和海拔高度)”可知，这些都是影响摄入水量的因素，故F选项“总水量的输入和输出根据多种因素而变化”符合语境，故选F。
