Think back to your last presentation. ____1____  And were they engaged in what you were saying? While you may think yourself to be a great speaker, it is not particularly hard to annoy your audience. Here are the top three of annoying habits in a presentation: reading the presentation (37%), having no knowledge of the subject matter (22%), using many “umms” and “uhhs” (16%).
So here are some tips to help you avoid these annoying mistakes.
The most annoying presentation habit is also one of the easiest to fall victim to. With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written. ____2____   By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves.
One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point. ____3____  When in practice, having slides with flexible layouts and proper pictures is equally important.
____4____  The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before. So in order to show your audience you know your stuff, getting ready will make all the difference.
The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptom of not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously. ____5____  
One tip for avoiding this is to practice your presentation multiple times beforehand, out loud. The more you practice, the more likely you can catch yourself before letting the “umms” and “uhhs” slip out.
A．Was it boring?
B．Were people interested?
C．It helps you to save your time.
D．This stops you overloading your slides with information.
E．Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility.
F．Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation.
G．However, all this shows is that you can do what your audience can as well.

What to do when you hate your job
Do you ever find yourself thinking, “I hate my job so much.”? A survey by CNBC found that 27% of employees weren’t happy at work. ___6___. In this article, you’ll learn what to do when you hate your job.
Keep thoughts quiet
It’s okay to hate your job, but talking about it openly or posting it on social media is a recipe for disaster. It may be easier than you think for employers to see your social media posts. ___7___. Instead, keep these thoughts to yourself, or share them with trusted friends and family.
Be professional
Similarly, when you hate your job, it can be challenging to remain calm at work. ___8___. In the long run, this will pay off. Try to avoid burning bridges. Instead, work to maintain your integrity (职业操守) and develop a good reputation.
___9___
Sometimes it can help to dig into the motivation you had when you initially took the job. Perhaps you need the money, or the job is close to home. Aside from creating a more positive mindset, understanding what’s important to you can help you look on your job wisely.
Regardless of your feelings, it’s a good idea to learn how not to hate your job. Finding a new job isn’t easy. ___10___. So, even if you decide to jump ship, it may be a while before you can. Plus, there’s always the chance that you can improve the situation enough that you’re happy to stay. So, before we explore how to leave a job you hate, let’s try to embrace it first.
A．You’re not alone
B．However, there’s hope
C．Be as practical as you can

How to save money when booking a summer holiday
Recent headlines have not been kind to those of us who like a bargain getaway. With the price of hotels, self-catering and package holidays all rising, there’s been a barrage of bad news. ____11____ But these straitened times also give you an opportunity to sharpen your holiday booking skills.
Where should you begin?
If you want to spend less this summer, it’s all about being flexible, having an open mind and double checking all your costs. ____12____ The three points are: transport, accommodation and daily costs. Nail all three, and you’re on track to stay within your budget.
What dates should you avoid?
Beginning your holiday on a weekend can cost you more, with Saturday being the most expensive day for starting a trip. Instead, choose to depart midweek to save a few pounds. ____13____ However, going away in the last week of August can offer much better value, thanks in part to schoolchildren in many countries having already returned to school.
____14____
If you have your heart set on a specific hotel in a specific resort and you’re happy with the price you’re being offered and have the means to book it, get it booked. Last-minute package deals can still pop up if agents are looking to fill spots, but you’ll have a lot less choice and there is always the chance that you won’t find anything that works out and you’ll end up stuck at home.
How can you protect yourself from problems down the line?
Take out cover on the day you book to ensure that you’re protected if your trip is canceled, or if you’re unable to travel. ____15____ So you can be confident it’s the right choice for your individual needs.
A．When is the best time to book?
B．Check “the triangle of cheap travel”.
C．How do you make sure that you get the best price?
D．And always take the time to check your policy carefully.

F．The beginning of the school holidays is always more expensive.
G．It puts a damper on our summer holiday plans even before you start looking.

Lotteries(彩票) have been with us for most of recorded human history, dating back to the Han Dynasty, when profits may have helped finance the Great Wall. ____16____ About half of Americans said that they had bought a lottery ticket within the past year. However, there are many beliefs surrounding these games of chance that are actually untrue.
Playing makes economic sense when the jackpot(头奖) gets big.
The expected value of playing actually decreases as the jackpot gets bigger. The jackpot is paid out as an annuity(年金), which decreases its net present value(净现值); if you choose to take it as a lump sum(一次付清), you will get only about 60 percent of the advertised prize. ____17____ For example, the chance of winning the Mega Million jackpot is 1 in 302 million. Famously, you are more likely to be hit by lightning, than actually winning.
Winning big will solve your financial problems.
Even if you know the odds, it’s tough to shake the belief that hitting the jackpot would remove all of your money issues. Research shows within three to five years, the winners of big prizes were equally likely to have gone bankrupt(破产) as the small winners, and the groups had similarly low savings and high levels of debt. ____18____ One winner of more than $300 million led to his granddaughter’s drug habit that eventually took her life.
____19____
“Winning $20 million in the lottery won’t make you happier,” said Harvard Medical School professor Sanjiv Chopra in a TED talk. He cited research showing that happiness varies with positive or negative changes in circumstances in the short run. ____20____ Studies that have examined the happiness levels of lottery winners, however, offer a more positive view. Probably the best study on this question, by researchers at the University of Warwick, examined repeated surveys collected from a random sample of Britons, some of whom received lottery wins of up to $200,000. Two years after a lottery win, they exhibited significantly better psychological health than those who hadn’t won.
A．There is a very good chance of winning the prize.
B．There are many stories of lottery wins destroying them.
C．Even now drawing a lucky number still has much appeal.
D．Winning the lottery will not contribute to your well-being.
E．They were also present at the beginning of modern England.
F．Over time people tend to return to their own happiness “set point”.
G．Besides, with jackpots much larger lotteries reduced the odds of winning.

Humans like exploring the world. Throughout history, we have gone to afar- off places to see how people in other areas leave. That urge (欲望) hasn’t disappeared, despite increasing awareness of the carbon footprint associated with travel. Nor should it—there’re great benefits from seeing the broader world. ____21____ Consider the following tips to reduce your influence when traveling.
● ____22____
Not only does it save money, but travelers will avoid lines and crowds. And the damage to the sites is less. The climate benefit is real, too. Traveling during this time means better options for direct flights, which are more fuel-efficient. Planes burn up to 25% of their fuel supply when taking off and climbing, so fewer stopovers (中途停留) mean less fuel used.
● Use public transport
Instead of hiring a private vehicle, you can consider using public means of transport. Carrying lots of people, they cut down the carbon emissions (排放) that would otherwise be given out by many private vehicles.____23____
● Pack a “Capsule Travel Bag”
The heavier a plane is, the more fuel it requires to fly. Therefore, packing little is one simple way to reduce your impact. ____24____ Finnair, Finland’s biggest airline, has calculated that if each passenger were to cut down the weight of their luggage by 5 kilograms, the total reduction could save almost 17,000 toms of CO2 emissions.
● Bring your waste-free tools
A zero-waste routine or creating as little waste as possible is also important when you’re away. To often, though, people use as an excuse to let their waste-reduction efforts fail. ____25____ In order to reduce your impact on the environment, you need to carry reusable items. For instance, carry reusable shopping bags or reusable water bottles.
A．Travel during the off-season.
B．Explore the less well-known destinations.
C．In case you’re doubtful, there’re related statistics to prove it.
D．That is unfair to the locals of whatever place you are visiting.
E．The pressure on the environment could then be reduced greatly.
F．The popularity of traveling by air makes it hard to cut down the carbon footprint.
G．Fortunately, some aspects of travel can be done in ways gentler to the planet.

Nowadays, many of us are finding ourselves tired out, struggling to build balance back into our lives. ___26___ Spending time near oceans, lakes, rivers and other bule spaces can provide a range of benefits including reducing anxiety, easing mental tiredness and refreshing us. Here is some advice on how to take advantage of the healing power of water.
___27___ You likely have some water close by, even if it is just a pond alongside the road. Start there. Then get out to water you can visit on the weekend or a vacation. Urban water counts—rivers, canals and fountains. ___28___ 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.
Go often. A little bit makes a big difference. ___29___ But an environmental psychologist found that spending a similar amount of time near water has the same benefits. Even people who look into aquariums(水族箱) have lower heart rates and better moods after just 15 minutes.
Listen. One of the most calming characteristics of water is its sound, typically steady and soft. The water sounds people find having the strongest healing power are rain in a rainforest, waves patting a beach, and a running stream. When the sounds of living things are added to the sounds of water, people like them even better. Make an audio recording of your favorite water. ___30___
A．Remember that all water counts.
B．It will bring back happy memories.
C．Stay in a place surrounded by water.
D．According to researchers, water can help us.
E．So does domestic water-in pools, bathtubs, even by fish tanks.
F．Spending some time every day near water can speed up our recovery.
G．It takes at least two hours a week in nature to improve our well-being.

Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The golden future will never be.____31____
However, your choices affect your future in a way that is more complicated.____32____ Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. ____33____ And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.
____34____ After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything?
However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances.____35____ It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.
A．Some will argue this is not true.
B．All these are from a bad choice!
C．Too many choices can be confusing.
D．This ability to choose how we behave is a great gift.
E．We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up.
F．Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice.
G．This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character.

The 24 solar terms (节气) are part of the traditional Chinese calendar. The Chinese people divided a year into 24 parts based on the sun’s position. ____36____They reflect the changes of the seasons, climate and phenology (生物气候学). The Yellow River Basin in northern China is believed to be the cradle(摇篮)of the solar terms system.
Solar terms were instructions for agricultural production and people’s daily lives. They mark things like seasons, temperature, precipitation (降水), growth of the crops and weather conditions.____37____
Most of the solar terms have rich social and cultural meanings. ____38____ The “Pure Brightness” is also referred to as Tomb-Sweeping Day, when people pay respect to those they have lost. The tradition remains to today. ____39____
The culture reflects the Chinese people’s respect for nature and tradition, their unique understanding of the universe, their wisdom to live in harmony with nature. It is the youth of China who can best help carry on this significant part of our culture. ____40____ Many young people have already been contributing their energy and strength to it. In fact, they have been living up to this challenge through artistic means. Many photos, essays and paintings have centered around the theme of the 24 solar terms.

For example, Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (1937) was created in response to the bombings during the Spanish Civil War. ____43____ Besides, powerful organizations and people throughout history often hired artists to create pieces that supported their causes. This affects the intended audience of the art piece—who was meant to see the art.
Find out the genre(类型) of the painting. If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what genre it belongs to can be helpful. Genres are basically categories. ____44____ In painting, the established and well-known genres include landscape, portraiture, still life and so on.
Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. Art movements were rises in popularity of certain ways of creating art. An art school is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same region, who all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices.

_____47_____They’re several brightly colored circles or squares that look like some sort of secret language. However, these shapes aren’t an indication of flavors, vitamins, or minerals.
The colored circles on food packages can come in a variety of colors. Apparently, those colored circles are called “printers’ color blocks” or “process control patches”._____48_____
We consulted an expert printing engineer, Meg Schiraldi, to find out exactly what the colored circles mean. “When the packaging is printed, technicians need to check the colored circles._____49_____ They compare the color to boxes printed around the world to ensure the consistent brand color,” Meg explained.
So there you have it! Colored circles on food packages help printers to match colors when they’re printing food packaging and ensure global brand consistency._____50_____Thanks, colored circles!
A．Most printers only use the four colors.
B．This helps them match challenging colors.
C．Without them, food packages would be a mess.
D．There’re other things printed on the back of most food packaging.
E．The color of a packet of M&M’s, for example, can tell you the flavor.

When working in the garden, a gardener has to deal with dirt, sticks, and rocks. This could cause injuries like cuts. Gardening gloves are used to protect your hands from such gardening dangers. And they can keep your hands clean. ____56____
Commonly, gardening gloves are made of cotton. Cotton is light and cheap to make and protects the hands from dirt. However, cotton gloves do not provide much protection from sharp objects. They wear out easily. ____57____  And that moisture (潮气) can make the gardener’s hands cold on a cold day.
To deal with the shortcomings of cotton gloves, gardeners can turn to other kinds of gardening gloves. Gloves made of both cotton and leather can be a good choice. ____58____ As a result, they don’t have to be replaced often. Their weakness is that they still get wet and do not provide much protection from sharp objects.

_____67_____ Some may be frightened of being up so high. Others may be afraid of the enclosed space. Still others are afraid to be close to other people.

Usually, the fear of elevators can be treated. Let sufferers visualize riding an elevator and picture the aspects which are frightening. Then they may be required to involve themselves in the part that scares them most. For example, someone who is afraid of heights may start by climbing a ladder over and over again. _____69_____ Next, they move on to a greater height, such as climbing a tree. As they experience greater and greater levels, their fear may become lessened. Finally, they will be able to enter an elevator.
Sometimes just stepping into it is a start. _____70_____This will likely still cause anxiety the first few times. But they can use methods which work when accomplishing smaller goals. Finally, after many attempts, riding an elevator may not cause anxiety at all.

Israeli Company Develops 3D Printed Beef
If there were an award for the funniest company name of 2022, then the 3D printed meat company “Steakholder” would win that award.
Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd. has introduced its new product, Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat. The bites are inspired by the world-famous Wagyu beef, famous for its fat marbling patterns (大理石花纹) in the meat, which is also very expensive.
The company was formed in 2019 and has an office in Israel and Belgium, and is now expanding its operations to the US. ___71___
Stakeholder uses stem cells from cattle for the production of its printed beef, and the muscle tissue and fat are printed from two separate bio-inks.___72___ A bite can be made juicier, chewier, and the taste can also be altered.
___73___ The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield. The next step is proliferation, in which the cells are placed into a nutrient rich reactor to multiply. When the cells reach appropriate numbers, the stem cells change into muscle cells and fat cells. ___74___
“This product marks a major step forward for us and for the cultured meat industry in general,” said Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods. “It is the result of a lot of hard work and our desire to achieve the highest level of meat possible through bioprinting and cell culture processes.”
___75___ Its patent for 3D-bioprinting technology is the result of intensive cooperation between its 3D printing engineers and cell biologists. “We see Omakase Beef Morsels as the combination of food, technology and fine art,” Kaufman said. “We want to inspire chefs around the world to create delicious masterpieces and unforgettable dining experiences.”
So there you have it, guilt-free meat eating may be just around the corner.
A．The company has already achieved several milestones since it was founded.
B．Its goal is to create sustainable meat products to replace meats such as beef, chicken and even fish.
C．The layers of meat and fat can be regrouped in different proportions to create different flavor experiences.
D．Additionally, producing meat without having to raise and kill cattle may work out better for ensuring animal welfare and overall health.
E．The meat product is the first of its kind and was created using a specific 3D-bioprinting technology that was recently patented by the company.
F．In the final steps, the muscle cells and fat cells are turned into meat, ready to be processed into the final product, whether it’s a burger, steak, or even a meatloaf.
G．The process works by first selecting the animals to extract (提取) the stem cells from.

When my children haven’t played outside enough, I can tell their energy levels will go up and the noise will increase in the house. I feel upset, so I tell them it’s time to go outside. Usually, they complain and come up with reasons why staying in is better, but I insist. Within minutes, they’re out and running around. Sometimes I give them a minimum time limit, say 20 minutes, before they could come back inside. ____76____
Kids need consistent outdoor play. There are many benefits, and I’d like to share some of them.
Outdoor play is good for kids’ physical health. ____77____ Movements like rolling and jumping also stimulate a child’s vestibular system. It’s the organizer for other senses and affects things like balance and space awareness. Children need to stimulate it regularly, and outdoor play allows this to happen naturally.
Outdoor play is beneficial mentally. It makes kids happy. You will see it when they come inside, tired but satisfied. It also gives children a chance to be in a space without fixed rules. There are no requirements to be quiet or stay clean. ____78____ It helps result in imaginative play and a creative flow state.
____79____There’s so much active learning that goes on outdoors. When kids get outdoors, they take the information they’ve heard in the classroom and apply it to real life. For example, building a bridge across a hole that will support the weight or getting the right consistency of mud by mixing dirt and water. They’ll also do better in school after spending more time outside.
Outdoor play is of great importance, so encourage your kids to take part in it. ____80____ You can also take them to beautiful parks and forests on weekends. Your kids will get hours of enjoyment, and the benefits are far-reaching.
A．It also has educational value.
B．Make your yard more interesting for them.
C．Don’t ask them to follow too many restrictions.
D．It connects physical exercise with better education, too.
E．So kids are free to do almost anything that entertains them.
F．But often they forget about it once they’re wrapped up in a game.
G．It helps build up strength and reduces the likelihood of overweight.

If you’ve studied biology, you’ve probably learned about blood types. Or perhaps you have learned something about blood types from social media. ____81____ These letters correspond to two antigens(抗原),A and B．People with AB blood have both antigens, those with A or B have only one, and people with O have no antigens at all.
____82____ If you’ve had a blood transfusion(输血), you are probably aware that your blood type determines which blood you can receive. Maybe you’ll think that you should plan your meals based on your blood type. ____83____ This last concept is popular in Asia, particularly in South Korea. Someone with type-A blood is thought to be considerate but shy. People with type-B blood are known for being creative but odd. Type-O individuals are considered to be some of the most sociable people. Those with type-AB are sensible artists, but sometimes calculating or unpredictable.
South Korea is one place where the blood type personality theory catches on. A study released in 2017 suggests that nearly 60%South Koreans believe that blood types serve as an indicator of a person’s personality. ____84____
But such theory can also cause discrimination. In the above-mentioned study, about half of the respondents said that they like people with type-O blood the best. ____85____ The general belief was that type-O individuals have a personality that best fits the culture in South Korea, while AB-types don’t suit such a cultural outlook. As a result, in recent years, many media have stopped promoting the theory.
A．Many factors contribute to your blood type.
B．So, what does blood type mean to you personally?
C．Meanwhile, only 6%of those surveyed said they like AB-types.
D．They have a large social circle but are very easy to get annoyed.
E．Or perhaps you think your blood type influences your personality.
F．Even those that don’t agree with the concept are familiar with the idea.
G．Either way, you’ll know there are four main blood types: A, B, O, and AB．

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of wise advice from Warren Buffet, arguably one of the greatest financial minds of the 21th century. ____86____ This is true especially in the present economic climate.
While the idea of being frugal(节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money. ____87____
The internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. ____88____ In the meanwhile, you should limit those that are fancy but not entirely necessary. Of course, it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation, but buying thirty pairs of shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor sustainable.
Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point that the resources on the earth are indeed limited. ____89____ As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also beneficial to the planet in the long run. Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? ____90____
A．A continuous growth model on this planet is by no means sustainable.
B．These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.
C．They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.
D．It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health.
E．It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a dominant trend.
F．Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.
G．If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself and for all humanity.

What makes a work of architecture great? Most people would argue that aesthetics are the most important. ____91____However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.
Constructed entirely of granite — a hard and tough stone, the library is durable. It can withstand environmental pollution. For example, it is resistant to acid rain. Moreover, its granite structure is stable so it’s more likely to survive an earthquake._____92_____It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.
_____93_____Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design — there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it’s easy to see and get to each department within the library.
Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building.______94______
Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in._____95_____
A．The library is also sustainable.
B．It is true that beauty is critical.
C．This is not the only concern of the architects.
D．The library was designed with functionality in mind.
E．It softens the lines of the structure and helps it to fit into its natural surroundings.
F．Plus, the library was built on the edge of the city park, surrounded by native plants.
G．Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users.

Working from home has its advantages, but a sense of community is not one of them. ____96____Research finds that people with friends at work are more satisfied with and perform better at their jobs. So what does it take to make friends at work? Here are some tips:
Schedule an informal meeting just to chat.
____97____One study found that while people feel closer the more time they spend together, this wasn’t true at work. In fact, the more time people spent together at work, the less close they felt. This is likely because when we only focus on work, we don’t reveal anything about ourselves. If you want to make friends at work, stop talking about work.
Make informal meetings consistent.
Friendship is not built from one interaction; it grows gradually. ____98____Scheduling an informal chat is great, but this chat needs to be repeated for a friendship to develop. The best way to do this is to put a standing meeting on your calendar, perhaps once a week or once a month, depending on preference.
Share more of yourself.
Now that you have stopped talking about work, start sharing stories. Study shows that people like people who disclose details about themselves and when people answer a series of intimate questions, they feel closer afterward. ____99____Some good options are: What do you do for fun? What were you like in high school? etc.
____100____
We often think likable people are funny or smart or charismatic, but the secret to being likable is actually to like people. People like people who they think like them. Co-workers will be more likely to want to be your friend if you show them you like them by doing things like greeting them warmly and celebrating their success.
A．Express praise.
B．Get intentional with team building.
C．We unconsciously like those we are more exposed to.
D．Use interesting questions to get to know your co-workers.
E．It pays to build a network of co-workers who see your value.
F．You can’t build a friendship if you only ever talk about work.
G．Still, feeling connected at work is necessary for our success in our jobs and lives.

How we garden
Some of us are challenged when it comes to gardening. We sometimes worry too much about what other people think about our gardens. The most important thing to remember when you’re creating your own garden is that it really needs to be about you. ____101____
That said, the best gardens work well with their surrounding environment. For instance, you might want to create a tropical (热带) feel but if you’ve got next-door’s oak tree (橡树) as the major background then it could look slightly odd. ____102____ If your garden is north-facing and you use black or grey-colored material, everything could become dark and depressing.
When it comes to planting, there are a lot of great influences out there. You might like the work of designers such as Piet Oudolf. But it’s good to remember that these influences are best used as a guide. ____103____ If you want to use ideas from other garden designers, then look for one that you’re comfortable with but don’t try to copy it outright—just be inspired by them.
____104____ I always think that if you’ve got fewer materials then the plants can sing better. For me, the plants are always at the heart of the garden. If you want them to stand out, keep your materials to as small a number as possible.
It’s the same when we select plants. We often forget that we don’t need a garden full of stars; we also need plants that provide the support act. ____105____ They often bring a more subtle element to the design.
A．A straight copy is never going to work, is it?
B．Grasses are a great example of this sort of secondary role.
C．All of these considerations will really help you set the tone.
D．You shouldn’t concern yourself with what anyone else thinks.
E．The direction your garden faces will also affect the overall look.
F．In the use of different materials in your garden design, less is definitely more.
G．If you want to keep bugs away from your plants, you can spray pesticide regularly.

As with most teaching methods, online learning also has its own negatives. Understanding them will help create strategies for more efficiently delivering the lessons, ensuring a good learning journey for students. So, what are the disadvantages of online learning?
____106____
For many students, one of the biggest challenges of online learning is the struggle with focusing on the screen for long periods of time. There’s a great chance for students to be easily attracted by social media or other sites. Therefore, it is vital for the teachers to keep their online classes interesting and interactive. It will help students stay focused on the lesson.
Technology issues
____107____ While Internet coverage has grown over the past few years, in smaller cities and towns, a consistent connection with great speed is a problem. Without a consistent Internet connection for students or teachers, there can be a lack of continuity in learning for the child. This is harmful to the education process.
Sense of isolation
Students can learn a lot from being in the company of their peers. ____108____ This often results in a sense of isolation for the students. In this situation, it is important that the school should allow for other forms of communication between students and teachers. ____109____
Teacher training
Online learning requires teachers to have a basic understanding of using digital forms of learning. ____110____ Very often, teachers have a very basic understanding of technology. Sometimes, they don’t even have the necessary resources or tools to conduct online classes. To solve this, it is important for schools to invest in training teachers with the latest technology updates.
A．Screen time management
B．Inability to focus on screens
C．Yet this is not always the case.
D．This increase in screen time is one of the biggest concerns.
E．However, in an online class, there is little physical interaction.
F．Another key challenge of online classes is Internet connectivity.
G．This can include online messages, emails and video conferencing.

Morning or night? Which time of day do you enjoy the most and are more mentally alert? Whichever one you prefer, there is a name for you.
Early birds or morning larks, as you can guess, are morning people. They have more energy in the morning and are happy to greet the day. ____111____ Therefore, morning larks tend to hit the day early. As most of society runs on daylight hours, morning larks are seen as productive people. As the saying goes: “The early bird gets the worm.”
____112____ These people have the least energy in the morning. They would rather get a few more hours of sleep than rise with the sun. But on the flip side, night owls come alive in the late evening hours. They become energetic and find inspiration in the moonlight. It’s no surprise that they can stay up well into the night.
While all birds are created equal, some night owls wish they could rise earlier. ____113____
●People can’t adjust their bedtimes overnight. So for those night owls wishing to rise at dawn, start with a 15-minute change. Go to bed 15 minutes earlier than usual and wake up that much earlier as well. Keep the pattern going until you find yourself rising with the sun.
●Though it may be challenging, start your morning with as much light as possible. ____114____ See what a difference it makes in helping you start your day.
●____115____ Don’t work hard to rise early during the week only to sleep in on weekends. To make the change from owl to lark you need to be consistent (坚持的) and rise early every day.
For the night owls out there, hopefully these tips will make your mornings more bearable.
A．Open the curtains or turn on the lights.
B．Night owls are the opposite of morning larks.
C．Pick an hour to wake up, and do it every day.
D．Because they rise early, they lose energy in the late afternoon.
E．There are things that morning larks can do to act more like night owls.
F．If you are one of them, here are some tips to help you catch that worm.
G．Morning larks and night owls are people that find their energy at opposite times.

It is universally acknowledged that adults, especially older ones, can’t learn language as easily as children can. However, contrary to conventional thinking, a new study shows that adult learners, even as beginners, could process sentence structures in new language much like native speakers. ___116___ Follow these tips and you can make the process more fun and more successful.
Find your motivation.
Wish you had paid more attention in high school Spanish? Consider why you didn’t. Perhaps all you wanted out of the class was a good grade, or to fulfill a graduation requirement. ___117___ But the most successful language students are internally motivated, sincerely absorbed in their own learning. So pick a language you are excited to use.
Pick your tools.
It might take some trial and error, but you will figure out which resources work best for you. Mobile apps such as Duolingo and Babble gamify your learning. Consider a conversation-based class like Italki or Idlewild. And don’t neglect textbooks, grammar guides, and workbooks with answer keys. ___118___
Dive in.
___119___ Watch movies or listen to songs, even if they are just on in the background. Periodically look around you and see how many things you can name in the language you are studying. Or better yet, label items around your home with those words. You will have no choice but to see them and, in very little time, learn them.
___120___
Practicing with other people helps solidify what you’ve already learned and make you more aware of which ideas you are able to express. These don’t need to be native speakers you chat with, though various websites and apps such as Languageexchange.com, HelloTalk, and TalkAbroad can connect you with some.
A．Get social.
B．Don’t sweat your mistakes.
C．Linguists call them external motivators.
D．Involve yourself in the chosen language as much as you can.
E．Knowing multiple languages can make you seem more attractive.
F．So if you dream of learning another language, your age does not disqualify you.
G．You may even enjoy children’s stories with simple vocabularies and accessible narratives.

Steps 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, says Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm. ____121____
Ease in gradually.
____122____ You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. But for some people — like those who need to drive long distances — those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.
____123____
A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up 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 — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise. ____124____
Plan something to look forward to.
____125____  “Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a. m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”
A．Reschedule your bedtime.
B．Wind down in the evenings.
C．The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
D．There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising.
E．To tempt you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special.
F．Being exposed to artificial light in the late evening could interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
G．They also recommend rethinking the curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment.

How to Organize Your Digital Files
Searching for a file on your computer is a whole lot easier than digging through a pile of papers, yet it’s far from being a perfect system. Lately, it’s been hit-or-miss for me. ____126____ I hope some of these tips will help you.
Use “resources”, “in progress”, “final”, and “scrap” folders for projects.
There are plenty of ways to title your subfolders for projects, but one of the most intuitive(使用简便的) is to have folders for stages of your project. ____127____
The “resources” folder is for things like images, documents, and other items that are needed to complete your project. ____128____“Final,” as you might imagine, is for the project files once the project has been approved and is done. “Scrap” is for anything you want to save from the project that doesn’t belong in the “final” folder.
____129____
It’s near impossible to find a photo quickly when you have thousands of photos all named something like “20211108_0978234.jpg.” So for photos, I like to have a date structure and folders for key events or categories, such as: 2021 ＞01 (for the month)＞2021-01 Mom and Dad 50 Anniversary LA．This way, you can either browse your photos by year and month or search for folders that include “Mom”, “Dad”, “Anniversary”, or “LA．”
Use tags.
In addition to creating a folder structure that works for you, consider tagging files. ____130____ Say, for example, you want to see all of your photos for all of your holiday celebrations. You can set up a tag for “holidays.” And then to narrow down the results, you can search using the tag.
A．With tags, you can connect multiple files across folders.
B．For photos, use a date structure and keywords for your folders.
C．This way, you can always know which is the final project file to grab.
D．The standards will keep files organized and make them easier on the eye.
E．“In progress” is for the current working version or versions of the project.
F．To find files more efficiently, I’ve been rearranging my digital filing system.
G．Move your photos to a more specific folder or back them up on an external storage device.

A Simple Trick to Resist Junk Food
You’re tired and hungry. Then you catch something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken! ____131____ A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes? ____132____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smell leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell. ____133____ That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth.
____134____ When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food is not connected with reward in our brain and therefore has little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____135____
A．But wait a minute before you order.
B．It’s a response that has been researched.
C．Get the satisfaction with none of the junk food.
D．It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E．However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F．The brain doesn’t necessarily tell apart a pleasurable smell or taste.
G．It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.

Tennis, basketball, soccer, swimming — these are examples of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of sports in the world. People in every country play some kind of athletic game. Why do people spend so much time and energy playing sports? ____136____
Good health is one big advantage to playing sports. ____137____ Scientists in Finland discovered that even between twins, the exercising one had more muscle, more energy, and healthier hearts and lungs. The one who did not play any sports had less energy and more fat.
____138____ Another reason is that they want to be social. People who play on a team become friends with their team members and meet players from different teams. Sports games become enjoyable social events, not just competitions.
An additional reason for playing sports is that it makes people feel good. It does this in two interesting ways. First, playing sports makes people feel good about themselves. ____139____ Second, when we exercise, our brains produce chemicals that make us feel good. When people run around for two hours playing a basketball game, they often feel great even if they lose the game.
There are a lot of other reasons why people play sports, but studies show that the biggest reason is enjoyment. When asked why they play sports, most people said they play because it’s fun. ____140____
Do you want to be healthy, socialize, feel good, and have fun? Play a sport.
A．It takes time to find a fun sport.
B．They don’t have to play — they want to play.
C．Finishing a long race can make someone feel confident.
D．It may be because playing sports has a lot of advantages.
E．Good health is not the only reason that people play sports.
F．Exercise can make people stronger and help them live longer lives.
G．Sports allow people to realize the importance of physical and mental health.

Calendars are for managing your time. They work overtime to keep the messiness of human life confined into neat little grids, squeezing our lives into seconds, minutes and hours. I appreciate a calendar’s determined efforts to manage time. ___141___ For the past several years, I’ve kept a planner with me at all times. The real magic in planners, to me, comes in the blank space where I reflect on the past and imagine the future. Cracking open a fresh week’s layout on a Monday morning and seeing the empty pages expand like a canvas waiting to be filled, the tone of the week yet to be set, the possibilities endless.
You start by creating a wish list for your ideal life. The idea is to be as specific as possible. You then pick the one goal that would have the biggest positive impact. You break that goal down into smaller tasks, and then prioritize them. ___142___ This method turns a general idea in your head into something that you can actually accomplish. From there, you can reflect every month on how you spent your time, and whether what you did actually is consistent with the goals you set.
___143___ It leaves no digital footprint, but it does leave a paper trail that you can look back on for years to come. It doesn’t buzz impatiently when you don’t look at it, and it will not be exported to Outlook. It requires you to sit in quiet conversation with yourself, reflecting on your past and visualizing your future. It forces me to answer hard truths, like what do I really want out of life and am I spending my days in line with who I want to be. ___144___
Planning helps me ensure that I’m not a passenger at the mercy of my calendar, but rather driving toward a destination that I choose. ___145___ And some really nice pens.
A．Then, add those tasks to the calendar.
B．There’s no pressure to make it perfect.
C．But planners are for dreaming without limits.
D．It’s easy to appreciate calendars for their usefulness.
E．Using a paper planner brings me both joy and a sense of calm.
F．It’s an important ritual (仪式) that deserves weight and ceremony.
G．After all, our lives are the sum of how we spend our time and what we pay attention to.

To be successful or fulfilled, we should plan steps and attach deadlines. Researches show that goals can get you to work harder, focus more and perform better.____146____Worse still, they can make you more likely to cheat, and less likely to thrive.
For most of us, goals are outcomes. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they’re constantly anxious about the results of what they do. In fact, focusing on the outcome may make you even less likely to meet it.____147____It may be to learn to focus on process and forget the outcome entirely.
____148____That relates to the other risk of goalsetting: its focus. Research also shows that if they don’t really know how to complete the task, give them a goal that early on messes up their performance.
As an analysis outlines, when people were given performance-oriented goal, they acted in more competitive, selfish ways. Of course, it’s human nature to have aims, but we also may want to change our whole approach. Imagine the goal as a journey, which is about enjoying the movement, the particular challenges and the landscapes.____149____
So instead of focusing on where you want to be, set a goal based on the experience you want to have along the way. If you really want to find fulfillment, you have to do something else too. Give yourself over to your work, but let go of the outcome.____150____But it can be freer and more fulfilling.
A．Goals in themselves aren’t bad.
B．But they also can kill your creativity.
C．So instead of focusing on your goal, what is the key?
D．In other words, prioritize the journey not just the destination.
E．As a result, the people who focus less on their goal are more likely to meet it.
F．Research shows that tough, specific goals get better results than easy, vague ones.
G．That means living with fewer goals, and with purpose, direction and openness instead.

The golden future will never be.(每个人都知道我们所做的选择会影响我们的未来。假设我是一个聪明的学生，成绩好。然而，由于懒惰，我在考试中表现很差。我被大学拒之门外，也找不到好工作。美好未来永远不会有)”以及下文陈述对选择对我们的影响推知，空处应引出话题。故B选项“所有这都来自一个坏的选择”符合语境，these指代上文提到的“I do badly in my examinations.

33．根据上文“Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish.(每当你做出选择时，你的性格就会改变或成长，这取决于你做出的决定是明智的还是愚蠢的)”以及后文“And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.(因此，你成为了那种在特定情况下会做出特定选择的人)”可知，性格是由选择塑造的。故F选项“你的性格是由你一点一点、一个又一个选择塑造出来的”符合语境，故选F。

With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be responsible for anything?(毕竟，人类选择的领域是狭窄的。在我们的生活中，构成我们的大多数事情都是无法选择的。我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷。我们甚至不能完全控制我们在生活中会遇到谁。有这么多我们无法选择的东西，我们怎么能说对任何事情负责呢？)”可知，事实上人们的选择很小，因此不可能对任何事情负责。由此推知，空处句子指出，有人反对“性格是由选择塑造出来”这个观点。故A选项“有些人会认为这不是真的”符合语境，this指上段提到的“性格是由选择塑造的”。故选A。
35．根据上文“However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to circumstances.(然而，我们确实有一些选择的权力，我们确实控制着最重要的事情：我们如何应对环境)”以及后文“It is our key to having confidence in the future.

39．根据上文“The “Pure Brightness” is also referred to as Tomb-Sweeping Day, when people pay respect to those they have lost. The tradition remains to today.(“清明”也被称为清明节，人们在这一天向他们失去的人表示敬意。这个传统一直延续到今天)”可知，上文提到节气的传统一直延续到今天，本句为本段最后一句，应继续说明节气的重要作用：是中国生活的核心要素，我们必须保护它。故G选项“长期以来，这一直是中国生活的核心要素，我们必须保护它”符合语境，故选G。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些学习语言的建议。
116．根据上文“It is universally acknowledged that adults, especially older ones, can’t learn language as easily as children can. However, contrary to conventional thinking, a new study shows that adult learners, even as beginners, could process sentence structures in new language much like native speakers.(众所周知，成年人，尤其是老年人，学习语言不如儿童那么容易。然而，与传统思维相反，一项新的研究表明，成年学习者，即使是初学者，也能像母语人士一样处理新语言的句子结构)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出学习另一种语言，年龄不是问题所在。故F选项“所以，如果你梦想学习另一种语言，你的年龄并不会使你失去资格”符合语境，故选F。
117．根据上文“Perhaps all you wanted out of the class was a good grade, or to fulfill a graduation requirement.(也许你想从这门课上得到的只是一个好成绩，或者满足毕业要求)”以及后文“But the most successful language students are internally motivated, sincerely absorbed in their own learning. So pick a language you are excited to use.(但是，最成功的语言学生都是发自内心地投入到学习中去的。所以选择一种你喜欢使用的语言)”可知，本句是在说明上文提到的想从这门课上得到的只是一个好成绩，或者满足毕业要求，这些只是外部的激励因素。故C选项“语言学家称之为外部激励因素”符合语境，故选C。
118．根据上文“It might take some trial and error, but you will figure out which resources work best for you. Mobile apps such as Duolingo and Babble gamify your learning. Consider a conversation-based class like Italki or Idlewild. And don’t neglect textbooks, grammar guides, and workbooks with answer keys.(这可能需要一些尝试和错误，但你会发现哪些资源最适合你。Duolingo和Babble等移动应用程序将学习游戏化。考虑一下Italki或Idlewild这样的基于对话的课程。不要忽视教科书、语法指南和带答案的练习册)”可知，本段说明了需要尝试和错误，本句为本段最后一句，旨在鼓励不要为错误而担忧。故B选项“不要为你的错误而烦恼”符合语境，故选B。
119．根据标题“Dive in.(沉浸其中)”以及后文“Watch movies or listen to songs, even if they are just on in the background. Periodically look around you and see how many things you can name in the language you are studying. Or better yet, label items around your home with those words. You will have no choice but to see them and, in very little time, learn them.(看电影或听歌曲，即使它们只是在背景音乐中播放。定期看看你周围，看看你能用你正在学习的语言说出多少东西的名字。或者更好的做法是，在家里的物品上贴上这样的标签。你将别无选择，只能看到他们，在很短的时间内，学习他们)”可知，后文的内容说明了要让自己沉浸在语言环境中。故D选项“尽可能多地让自己参与所选语言的学习”符合语境，故选D。
120．根据本段内容“Practicing with other people helps solidify what you’ve already learned and make you more aware of which ideas you are able to express. These don’t need to be native speakers you chat with, though various websites and apps such as Languageexchange.com, HelloTalk, and TalkAbroad can connect you with some.(和其他人一起练习有助于巩固你已经学到的东西，让你更清楚自己能够表达哪些想法。这些人不需要是你聊天的母语人士，尽管各种网站和应用程序，如Languageexchange.com, HelloTalk和TalkAbroad可以帮你联系上一些人)”可知，后文提到了和其他人一起练习，说明是通过社交来学习。故A选项“去社交”符合语境，故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些有助于早起的建议。
121．根据上文“The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light, says Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm.(美国睡眠医学学会董事会主席詹妮弗·马丁说，早起的秘诀就是多晒太阳。这是因为光线会抑制褪黑激素，而褪黑激素在昼夜节律中起着重要作用)”可知，上文提到了光线会抑制褪黑激素，说明多晒太阳可以调节体内的生物钟。故C选项“太阳是我们体内时钟的驱动者”符合语境，故选C。
122．根据后文“You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. But for some people—like those who need to drive long distances—those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.(你可以强迫自己每天在你想要的时间起床，知道在过渡期间你会感到疲劳，但在几周内就会自然地开始早睡。但对于一些人来说，比如那些需要长途驾驶的人，转换到新时间表后最初几天的疲惫是不安全的。在这种情况下，马丁建议逐渐进入早起鸟的生活。她说：“我建议人们换半小时，等几天，再换半小时，等几天，然后再换半小时。”)”可知，本段主要说明了开启早起的具体方法，故D选项“有两种方法来开启你的早起之旅”符合语境，故选D。
123．根据本段内容“A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up 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—so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise.(固定的就寝时间并不像每天起床时间一样重要，但确保睡眠充足仍然很重要。大多数人每晚至少应该睡7个小时，所以当你过渡到新的作息时间时，你可能需要一点点地提前就寝时间。专家建议，至少在睡觉前一小时开始，减少你接触强光的时间)”可知，本段主要说明了确保晚上的睡眠充足，空处为本段小标题，应体现晚上放松来确保睡眠质量的观点。故B选项“晚上放松一下”符合语境，故选B。
124．根据上文“Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise.(专家建议，至少在睡觉前一小时开始，减少你接触强光的时间)”可知，上文提到建议睡前减少接触强光的时间，本句为本段最后一句，说明这么做的原因：在深夜暴露在人造光下会影响你入睡。故F选项“在深夜暴露在人造光下会影响你入睡”符合语境，故选F。
125．根据后文““Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a. m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”(她说：“现在是时候去买你最喜欢的咖啡或买一些糕点，在早上5点闹钟响的时候吃。如果你想到这一点，你就不会害怕了。”)”可知，后文提到通过在早上吃喜欢吃的食物，来摆脱起床的恐惧，故E选项“为了吸引你起床，马丁建议给自己一些特别的东西”符合语境，故选E。
126．F 127．C 128．E 129．B 130．A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何组织数字文件。

128．根据“Use “resources”, “in progress”, “final”, and “scrap” folders for projects.(对项目使用“资源”、“进行中”、“最终”和“废弃”文件夹)”以及第三段的内容可知，本段详细的介绍了这几种文件夹。按顺序，The “resources” folder和“Final,” 之间是“in progress”。所以本空是对“in progress”这种文件夹的介绍。E项““进行中”文件夹用于项目的当前工作版本。”符合语境。故选E。
129．根据“It’s near impossible to find a photo quickly when you have thousands of photos all named something like “20211108_0978234.jpg.” So for photos, I like to have a date structure and folders for key events or categories, such as: 2021 ＞01 (for the month)＞2021-01 Mom and Dad 50 Anniversary LA. (当你有数千张照片都命名为“20211108_0978234.jpg”时，几乎不可能很快找到一张照片。因此，对于照片，我喜欢为关键事件或类别设置日期结构和文件夹，例如：2021＞01（月份）＞2021-01妈妈和爸爸50周年纪念洛杉矶)”可知，本段讲述如何设置储存照片的文件夹。B项“对于照片，请为文件夹使用日期结构和关键字。”适合作本段的标题。B项中的photos在下文中得到了复现。故选B。

131．A 132．D 133．F 134．E 135．G

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种可以抵抗垃圾食物的简单窍门。
131．根据空后的“A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.(一项新的研究表明，接触垃圾食物的气味至少两分钟实际上可以帮助你做出更健康的食物选择。)”可知，选择食物前与先接触食物味道至少两分钟，所以设空处应与等待时间有关，A选项“But wait a minute before you order.(但是在订购前请稍等片刻。)”与空后的内容吻合。故选A项。
132．根据空前的问题“What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes?(如果您在几分钟后排队会发生什么？)”可知，空后应对此问题做出回答，D选项“It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.(它不像刚才那样不可抗拒。)”给出答案，同时句中的“just moments ago”与上文“a couple of minutes”相照应。故选D项。
133．根据空后的“That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth.(这就是为什么长时间暴露在垃圾食品气味中可以像实际将其放在嘴里一样令人满意。)”可知，该句与空格内容为因果关系，此处表示的是结果，所以设空处应选择原因，F选项“The brain doesn’t necessarily tell apart a pleasurable smell or taste.(大脑不一定能分辨出令人愉悦的气味或味道。)”与空后的内容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选F项。
134．根据空后的“When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced.(当检查到健康食品的气味时，食物选择没有受到深远的影响。)”可知，该段落讲述的是接触到健康食物的产生的影响，而空前段落讲述的是接触到垃圾食物产生的影响，所以设空处应为过渡句，表示转折关系，E选项“However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.(然而，健康食品的气味并非如此。)”符合逻辑。故选E项。
135．根据空前的“So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two.(所以下次你觉得自己没有抵抗炸薯条的意志力时，可能就像坐在那里闻一两分钟的甜味一样简单。)”可知，闻一闻想吃的甜食一两分钟，就可以帮助抵抗住想吃垃圾食物的欲望，所以空后表达的是嗅觉得到满足后，吃的欲望也得到了满足，空格位于段尾，对文章作总结，G选项“It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.(这和实际吃它是一样的，因为你吃它的欲望得到了满足。)”符合语境和文章的主题。故选G项。

137．根据上文“Good health is one big advantage to playing sports.(身体健康是从事体育运动的一大优势)”和下文“Scientists in Finland discovered that even between twins, the exercising one had more muscle, more energy, and healthier hearts and lungs. The one who did not play any sports had less energy and more fat.(芬兰科学家发现，即使是双胞胎，运动的那一个也有更多的肌肉、更多的精力、更健康的心肺。不参加任何运动的人能量更少，脂肪更多)”可知，本段表达的观点是从事体育运动让人更健康。F项“Exercise can make people stronger and help them live longer lives.(锻炼可以使人更强壮，帮助他们长寿)”表达了同样的观点，其中“make people stronger and help them live longer lives”与上文“Good health”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
138．根据下文“Another reason is that they want to be social. (另一个原因是他们想要社交)”中“Another reason”可知，上文中会先给出一个原因，E项“Good health is not the only reason that people play sports.(良好的健康并不是人们做运动的唯一原因)”承接上一段，提出身体健康是从事体育运动的原因之一，但不是唯一原因，进而引出下文中的另一个原因，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
139．上文“First, playing sports makes people feel good about themselves.(首先，运动让人自我感觉良好)”提出运动让人自我感觉良好，C项“Finishing a long race can make someone feel confident.(完成一场长跑可以让人感到自信)”对此进行举例说明，句中“feel confident”与上文“feel good about themselves”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了paper planner (纸张规划簿)，它可以给作者带来快乐与平静，表达了作者对它的喜爱。
141．上文“Calendars are for managing your time. They work overtime to keep the messiness of human life confined into neat little grids, squeezing our lives into seconds, minutes and hours. I appreciate a calendar’s determined efforts to manage time. (日历用于管理您的时间。它们加班加点，把人类生活中的混乱局限在整洁的小格子里，把我们的生活压缩成几秒钟、几分钟和几小时。我欣赏日历为管理时间所做的坚定努力)”讲述了日历的作用，它把人们的生活限制在整齐的小格子中，作者表示出对日历的欣赏。下文“For the past several years, I’ve kept a planner with me at all times. The real magic in planners, to me, comes in the blank space where I reflect on the past and imagine the future. Cracking open a fresh week’s layout on a Monday morning and seeing the empty pages expand like a canvas waiting to be filled, the tone of the week yet to be set, the possibilities endless. (在过去的几年里，我一直都有一个规划簿。对我来说，规划簿的真正魔力来自于我反思过去和想象未来的空白空间。在周一的早晨打开一周的新布局，看到空白的页面像画布一样展开，等待填满，本周的基调尚未设定，可能性无限)”讲到在过去的几年里，作者一直随身带着一个规划簿，它给作者的神奇魔力是空白的空间，给作者无限可能，没有束缚。因此，可以推断出空格内容应表示转折对比，体现规划簿的没有束缚特征，C选项“但规划簿支持无限制的梦想。”切题。故选C项。
142．上文“You start by creating a wish list for your ideal life. The idea is to be as specific as possible. You then pick the one goal that would have the biggest positive impact. You break that goal down into smaller tasks, and then prioritize them. (你首先要为你的理想生活建立一个愿望清单。想法是尽可能具体。然后你选择一个会产生最大积极影响的目标。你将目标分解为较小的任务，然后对它们进行优先级排序)”讲到列一个详细的愿望清单，挑选一个最有积极影响的目标，然后把它们分成一个个小任务，然后排序。下文“This method turns a general idea in your head into something that you can actually accomplish. From there, you can reflect every month on how you spent your time, and whether what you did actually is consistent with the goals you set. (这种方法将你头脑中的一个总的想法转变为你可以实际完成的事情。从那里，你可以每个月反思你是如何度过时间的，以及你所做的事情是否与你设定的目标一致)”讲到这个方法的作用，在那里可以反映出你每个月时间的分配。因此，可以推断，空格中应对上文的小任务进行处理。下文的there有所指，故选项中应出现一个东西或者地方，结合第一段讲到日历的作用可知，there指日历，A选项“然后，将这些任务添加到日历中。”切题。故选A项。
143．段首的空格，因此我们要往后看。由下文“It leaves no digital footprint, but it does leave a paper trail that you can look back on for years to come. It doesn’t buzz impatiently when you don’t look at it, and it will not be exported to Outlook. It requires you to sit in quiet conversation with yourself, reflecting on your past and visualizing your future. (它没有留下数字足迹，但它确实留下了纸上的痕迹，你可以在未来几年回顾。当你不看它时，它不会不耐烦地发出嗡嗡声，也不会导出到Outlook。它要求你与自己静静地交谈，反思你的过去，想象你的未来)”可知，空格处是这一段的总起句，这个“它”指的就是paper planner (纸张规划簿)，纸张规划簿给作者带来了平静，E选项“使用纸张规划簿给我带来了快乐和平静。”切题。故选E项。
144．由上文“It forces me to answer hard truths, like what do I really want out of life and am I spending my days in line with who I want to be. (它迫使我回答一些残酷的事实，比如我真正想要的是什么，我的日子是按照我想成为的人度过的吗)”讲到纸张规划簿促使作者回答一些残酷的事实，让作者思考真正想从生活中得到什么，有没有活成自己想要的样子。因此，可以推测，这个空格也是在探讨生活究竟是什么，G选项“毕竟，我们的生活是我们如何花费时间和关注什么的总和。”切题。故选G项。
145．上文“Planning helps me ensure that I’m not a passenger at the mercy of my calendar, but rather driving toward a destination that I choose. (计划有助于我确保我不是一个受日历支配的乘客，而是朝着我选择的目的地开车)”讲到计划帮助作者确保自己不是一个被日历支配的旅客，而是驶向自己选择的终点，再结合下文“And some really nice pens. (还有一些非常漂亮的钢笔)”可知，写计划需要钢笔，因此，可以推断空格内容要承上启下。承接上文计划是一个重要的仪式，引起下文，它需要重量和仪式，也需要好的钢笔。F选项“这是一个值得重视和仪式的重要仪式。”切题。故选F项。
146．B 147．C 148．F 149．D 150．G

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，目标可以让你更努力地工作，更专注，表现得更好，但它们也会扼杀你的创造力。文章主要就如何正确地看待目标提出了一些研究发现。
146．根据上文“To be successful or fulfilled, we should plan steps and attach deadlines. Researches show that goals can get you to work harder, focus more and perform better.(要想成功或完成任务，我们应该计划步骤并设定最后期限。研究表明，目标可以让你更努力地工作，更专注，表现得更好)”以及后文“Worse still, they can make you more likely to cheat, and less likely to thrive.(更糟糕的是，它们会让你更有可能作弊，更不可能茁壮成长)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出目标存在的弊端。故B选项“但它们也会扼杀你的创造力”符合语境，故选B。
147．根据上文“For most of us, goals are outcomes. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they’re constantly anxious about the results of what they do. In fact, focusing on the outcome may make you even less likely to meet it.(对我们大多数人来说，目标就是结果。那些只被追求行动成果的欲望所驱使的人是痛苦的，因为他们不断地担心他们所做的事情的结果。事实上，只关注结果可能会让你更不可能实现目标)”以及后文“It may be to learn to focus on process and forget the outcome entirely.(它可能是学会专注于过程，完全忘记结果)”可知，后文提到学会专注过程，可知本句引起下文，指出关注过程的关键是什么。故C选项“不专注于你的目标的关键是什么？”符合语境，故选C。
148．根据后文“That relates to the other risk of goalsetting: its focus. Research also shows that if they don’t really know how to complete the task, give them a goal that early on messes up their performance.(这与设定目标的另一个风险有关：它的焦点。研究还表明，如果他们真的不知道如何完成任务，给他们一个目标，会在一开始就扰乱他们的表现)”可知，后文提到研究还表明了什么，说明本句是在介绍第一个研究的发现。故F选项“研究表明，强硬、具体的目标比简单、模糊的目标效果更好”符合语境，故选F。
149．根据上文“As an analysis outlines, when people were given performance-oriented goal, they acted in more competitive, selfish ways. Of course, it’s human nature to have aims, but we also may want to change our whole approach. Imagine the goal as a journey, which is about enjoying the movement, the particular challenges and the landscapes.(正如一项分析概述的那样，当人们被给予以绩效为导向的目标时，他们会表现得更有竞争力，更自私。当然，有目标是人类的天性，但我们也可能希望改变我们的整个方法。把目标想象成一段旅程，享受运动、特殊的挑战和风景)”可知，上文提到把目标想象成一段旅程，享受运动、特殊的挑战和风景，说明要享受旅程的过程，而不仅仅是目的地。故D选项“换句话说，优先考虑过程而不仅仅是目的地”符合语境，故选D。
150．根据上文“So instead of focusing on where you want to be, set a goal based on the experience you want to have along the way. If you really want to find fulfillment, you have to do something else too. Give yourself over to your work, but let go of the outcome.(因此，与其关注你想要达到的目标，不如根据你在前进过程中想要获得的经验设定一个目标。如果你真的想找到满足感，你也必须做一些其他的事情。把自己投入到工作中去，但不要在意结果)”以及后文“But it can be freer and more fulfilling.(但它可以更自由、更充实)”可知，上文提到与其关注你想要达到的目标，不如根据你在前进过程中想要获得的经验设定一个目标，可见不要那么在意目标，而要有目的、有方向和开放。故G选项“这意味着生活中少一些目标，而要有目的、有方向和开放”符合语境，故选G。
