The road to learning how to take personal responsibility can be a difficult one, but starting simple really works. ___1___ Here is some advice you need to follow.
●Focus on the basics of your journey.
Just like the ocean, our life has many ups and downs. If you start building a solid sailboat, you can withstand (经受) the weather. The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety, self-esteem (自尊) and connection with others. ___2___
●Open your sails and be willing to fail.
Do not lay too much stress on the destination. Just head in the right direction. ___3___ You’re supposed to take the courage to really open your sails. When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries.
●___4___
As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass? Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven’t done to achieve them.
●Live in the moment.
As you’re moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future? Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position? ___5___ Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you.
A．Reach your goals.
B．Move forward with intention.
C．Then begin to tackle the more difficult aspects.
D．So check in and make sure that they are being met.
E．Stop blaming others or situations if you really want to enjoy each moment.
F．Everyone can edge closer to that stage through taking personal responsibility.
G．You must enjoy the sail by finding purpose and following that desire to explore.

You’ve probably heard this dental advice before: brush your teeth twice a day.____6____Here’s what experts have to say.
According to Dr. Mark Burhenne , a dentist based in Sunnyvale, California, the key to teeth protection is managing your biofilm(生物膜)—an outer coating on your teeth containing bacteria. In that biofilm are bacteria that pull certain minerals from saliva(唾液).____7____
When we eat things, especially sugary or acid foods, they will stick to our teeth.____8____The thicker and furry biofilm can no longer remineralize our teeth properly. The movement of the toothbrush is what breaks up the thickened biofilm so that it reforms into its natural thin and slippery state to protect teeth.
____9____ According to Alicia Murria, a dentist based in Washington, your toothpaste is going to help you to feel fresher. It’s also going to help to kill some of the bacteria inside your mouth. But the most important step in keeping your teeth clean is good brushing technique. By brushing each tooth and slightly sweeping the gum line with your brush at a 45-degree angle, you’ll be able to remove plaques(牙斑). If your brushing technique is good, even a toothbrush with water can be enough.
Murria suggests brushing your teeth first thing in the morning, before eating breakfast. If you do happen to eat first, make sure you wait at least 30 minutes before brushing. The acid from the meal softens the enamel(牙釉质).____10____
A．But whose advice should we follow?
B．The biofilm layer will get thicker and thicker.
C．But why and how are we supposed to do it?
D．Choose the right toothpaste that suits you best.
E．Funny enough, toothpaste actually does less work than you think.
F．These minerals are pulled into the teeth to prevent them from going bad.
G．So if you brush too soon you could damage that typically hard, shiny protective layer.

Protecting Your Eyes During Computer Use
Sit far enough away from the screen.___11___.To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test: if you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you’re sitting too close.
Position reference materials properly. If they're too low, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye tiredness. You can also strain (损伤) your neck by moving it to look down too often.___12___
Blink (眨眼) often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute.___13___.This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer. Since your body won’t blink as much naturally, you’ll have to be conscious of this and force yourself to blink. Deliberately blink every five seconds or so.
___14___.Your screen should be brightened in relation to your environment. If you’re working in a brightly lit room, you can increase your brightness settings; if the room is dim, lower the settings. While the screen should be the brightest object in the room, it shouldn’t be on the brightest setting in a darkroom.
Reduce glare from your screen. Surrounding lights can reflect off your screen and strain your eyes. Keep your computer screen clean. Dust on your screen can further reflect light into your eyes. Dust your screen on a regular basis with either a specialized cleaning cloth or spray.____15____.The sun’s rays will reflect off the screen and back into your eyes. If this is unavoidable, cover the window with a sheet to help reduce the glare.
A．Adjust your screen lighting
B．During the time you should blink
C．Avoid sitting with a window behind you
D．Walk around to prevent the long sitting by a window
E．But when we are focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half
F．This is usually considered at least an arm’s length away from the screen
G．They should be located above the keyboard and below the computer's monitor

____16____. The amount of time spent on hand-washing is important. To do this right, you have to wet your hands with clean water, put soap on every surface, rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds, and wash before drying.
Wash your fingertips and nails. If you think about it, most of the touching and most of the viruses are on your fingertips and under your fingernails. ____17____. Therefore, it is very important to pay closer attention to the fingertips and nails.
Wash your hands quickly after returning from the outside. ____18____. During that time, you risk contaminating (污染) yourself or others at home if you don’t wash your hands immediately. Wash hands with soap or use an alcohol-based sanitizer. According to the available evidence, either way can cover most needs for the typical healthy person. If you use the hand sanitizer, it’s important to know that it is only active as long as it is on your hands. ____19____, keep the sanitizer on for at least 10 seconds.
Let’s wash our hands properly every day. ____20____.

1. Consume content outside your comfort zone.
We all love reading about stuff in our industry. ___22___ If you want to get your creative juices flowing, start consuming content you wouldn’t normally consume. Read blogs outside of your industry. Read books outside of your normal choice. Or grab lunch with a complete stranger.
2. Do the “No Bad Ideas Brainstorming” exercise.
Get at least one other person to join you for a 45-60 minute brainstorm. No technology and no criticism. Bring a topic or idea to the table and write down all your ideas (on actual paper). ___23___ It’s important to do this in person and to make absolutely sure you don’t have any negative energy or feedback throughout the process. You may end up with 100 horrible ideas, but I bet you’ll have one or two good ones.
3. ___24___
There are studies upon studies that discuss how our diet affects the way we think. Want to start thinking differently? Start giving your body different (and healthier)fuel. You’d be shocked how much more creatively you can think and act when you eat a healthier diet.
4. See a movie in a theater.
Movies on the big scene are one of the last few places you can enjoy a complete sensory experience. The giant bright screen. The thundering surround sound. The smell and taste of fresh popcorn. The somewhat uncomfortable seat with plastic armrests that don’t move. ___25___

Do you have an important or favorite memory from this past year? By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what we’ve been through.
How does memory work?
____26____ One is short-term or working memory, which slays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds, for instance when you hear a song but can’t remember the words afterwards. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years.
There are many uses for memory. Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; Factual memories help you to recognize faces. These types of memories can be short or long term. Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories. ____27____
Why are memories important?
Memories tell you the story of yourself. Information, such as which school you go to and who your friend are, is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. ____28____ Heidi, 12, told The Week Junior, “If I miss seeing my granny and grandad. I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there. ”
____29____ The National Day of Reflection marked the anniversary of the first lockdown. It recalled the people who died during the pandemic and reminds us that we’ve all been through something together. Lots of people feel the same way we do.
____30____
Talking about your memories is important. Focusing on happy memories, like learning a new hobby, will help you feel more positive. If you have difficult memories, though, it’s important to talk about them.

C．Shared memories can connect you to other.
D．Memories can also help you manage feelings.

How to Teach Teenagers About Money
Teaching teens about money—how to earn it and save it—is part of being a good dad or mom. You don’t have to be a finance professor to teach them how to save money.____31____ Remember that more is seen than taught. You’ll want to show them how to earn money, create a budget and save it.
☆Earning money
You may have started out asking your kids to help you wash the dishes, sweep the floor or feed the dog. But now that you’ve got a teenager, you’re probably off-loading the big-item work like mowing the lawn or taking out the trash. ____32____ If yes, working for someone else and earning a paycheck will help teach your teen about money quickly.
☆____33____
By now, they’ve probably earned some money. And they have outgrown that piggy bank they got for their first birthday. Then it’s time for a real bank account. You probably don’t want to connect it to your own. But you will want to be the signer on the account so you can see their spending behavior.
☆Saving money
Teenagers should learn to save money.____34____But if you want your teenager to grow up into an independent, responsible human, you’ll have to show them how.
Teach them about having long-term savings goals. At this age, all they can probably talk about is getting a car. If they want one, they can pay for it.

Your relationship with your mom is supposed to be one of the most special relationships in your life, which makes it much harder when she says something that hurts your feelings. ____36____ Don’t worry. Here are expert recommendations for talking with your mom and taking care of yourself.
Stay calm. Breathe deeply to control your emotions. It’s completely normal to feel your temper rise if she said something really mean. However, don’t immediately react or argue. Take slow, deep breaths to calm yourself. ____37____
Tell your mom that she hurt your feelings. Express yourself so your mom knows that you’ re hurt. It can be scary to approach your mom and discuss what she said, but it’s a big step. ____38____ In this way she’s more likely to listen to you. Make sure you tell her why you’ re upset and what you’d like to see change.
____39____ Take care of your mental well being by stopping harmful negative talk. If your mom says hurtful things, you might start to believe them unless you change your outlook. If you think something like, “I must be a bad person,” stop and tell yourself, “Actually, I’m quite a good person.” Repeat these positive thoughts and eventually, you’ll believe them.

You should also eat a wide range of foods to make sure you’re getting a balanced diet and your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs. The following practical tips can help you make it.

____42____ . In fact, this is not the true story. A healthy breakfast high in fibre and low in fat, sugar and salt can form part of a balanced diet, and can help you get the nutrients you need for good health. For example, a wholegrain lower sugar cereal(谷类食物) with semiskimmed milk is a tasty and healthier breakfast.
◆Eat lots of fruit and vegetables
It’s recommended that you eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day. They can be fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juiced. A 150 ml glass of fruit or vegetable juice each day also counts. ___43___.

Scientists and researchers have long sought to understand why people cry when experiencing joy or happiness. ____46____ Over the decades, scientists and researchers have thought up theories to explain why happy crying occurs.
____47____An early theory suggested that happy crying happened because people bottled up their feelings. This meant that people who cried when experiencing something joyous had feelings of sadness they hadn’t addressed. Many researchers have contradicted the theory over the years, but it appears to be one of the earliest attempts to understand why we cry when we are happy.
Crying may regulate your body. Tears contain enzymes, lipids and metabolites. But emotional tears might also include other proteins and hormones. It is hypothesized that release of stress hormones may help control the body’s physical and emotional homeostasis(动态平衡).____48____
It fosters vulnerability and social connection. Crying in any situation could also be our way of showing vulnerability as human beings.____49____This happens when we cry because of a happy or sad event. Scientists believe that crying is a way of establishing a social connection with other people.
You feel powerless over your emotions. Yet other scientists suggest that all types of crying are results of perceived feelings of frustration, helplessness, and surrender. Crying almost feels unavoidable when people experience a strong emotion, whether it’s joy, frustration, or anger.
Though you might not always allow your tears free fall, you often feel them coming on. Some research suggests that this is because crying can help you manage strong emotions.____50____
Therefore, while you might be experiencing a happy or joyous occasion, you might find the emotion overwhelming. Crying helps you release some of this emotion.
A．You have bottled-up feelings.
B．You lose control of your emotions.
C．When we cry, we signal to others to empathize with us.
D．Stress hormones may help calm you and regulate your mood.
E．When you cry, it feels like you are ridding some of these emotions.
F．Crying can be confusing to witness on a joyous occasion, but it happens often.
G．Crying for whatever reason has benefits for both your mental and physical well-being.

Faced with setbacks large and small, you feel like your life is always taking a turn for the worse. You aren’t superstitious(迷信), but you begin to wonder—____51____ Why does it seem like you can never catch a break?
What is luck?
____52____ First, we often use the term luck as synonymous with “chance”; we may call it lucky to win at a slot machine(老虎机), although it’s actually a random event. Another way to frame luck is as a supernatural force that exists in the universe. Third, it can be thought of as a personal feature: It’s just something that you’re born with.
On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself which then has impact on how you behave and how you think and becomes a self-fulfilling prediction. ____53____ And it has “existed” for ages, even with our amount of science and technology, it’s something deep within us that realizes our lives are ruled by chance, and we’re trying to do something to get control over that. When people feel less in control of their lives, then people often search for supernatural explanations.
How to think about luck?
The first thing to understand is that a person’s position in society contributes to their concept of luck. For example, The circumstances you’re born into, the society you’re born into, the genetic makeup you’re handed. ____54____ Aside from these limits, however, there are steps you can take to improve your luck.
After studying people who consider themselves lucky or unlucky, experts have found that the “lucky” ones maximize chance opportunities and dare to follow their intuition to grasp those moments. If you are relaxed and happy, your world view becomes bigger and you see more opportunities. ____55____
A．People define luck in three ways.
B．So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.
C．Could you just be an unlucky person?
D．Are you the luckiest person in the world?
E．All these things are outside of your control.

G．If you’re a flexible person, you’ll make the most of those opportunities.

Raising children is limitlessly rewarding but no doubt challenging. Here are some tips for raising a happy, healthy and responsible child.
____56____ Studies find that kids who have televisions in their bedrooms are more likely to be overweight. When a TV is in a child’s bedroom, you have no control over what he’s watching, nor do you have any opportunities for family bonding time—when everyone lies onto the sofa to watch a favorite show.
Get them used to doing chores from a young age. We all know a parent who still makes their high school daughter’s lunch every day. ____57____ By the time your two-year-old begins talking, he’s old enough to start helping around the house.
____58____ If you really want to teach your teen about money, then stop handing over the credit card and the “allowance.” Instead, put your kid on a budget, open a checking account for him or her, and let your teen really learn to manage money. Tell your kid that all clothing, movies, entertainment, fast food, and cell phone bills come out of his or her checking account which you fund. ____59____ Just make sure you also set up a savings account for your teen and insist that at least one third of any savings or money from you be put away.

How to get a good letter of recommendation
Your professors are often asked to write hundreds of letters of recommendation during teaching in colleges. ____61____, they do play a key role in helping employers get an idea of an applicant’s personality, persistence, and passion. Here are four points to keep in mind when it comes to asking for letters of recommendation.
____62____. Ideally, the letter writer will know you well and have plenty of positive things to say without much make-up. But it never hurts to share your personal statement that includes your accomplishments and passions. After all, it’s you that know how to let your highlights stand out.
Don’t tell your professor what to say. This one is a little tricky, because it seems to contradict the tip above. ____63____, but avoid telling him exactly what to write. Professors know how to pen an effective letter of recommendation well.
Don’t ask for a letter at the last minute. Rule of thumb: Give the professor at least a few months’ notice. Remember, your professor will spend quite a while composing the letter of recommendation, so express your request in a respectful, appreciative and thoughtful way. A last minute request will annoy the professor, and it may also lead to a sub- standard letter. ____64____.
Express your gratitude. A thoughtful letter of recommendation takes time. ____65____. Most professors write dozens of recommendations, if not more. Be sure to let them know that you appreciate their time and effort. Don’t risk ending up with a regret by forgetting to send a handwritten note with a sincere thank you.
A．Nobody wins in such a hurry
B．Expose a real yourself accordingly
C．Maintain a good relationship with them
D．And chances are you aren’t the only one asking
E．Give the professor a broad outline about your request
F．While these letters may not be as important as test scores
G．Because the employers care much about the recommendation

Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways.
First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest.____66____And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills, where it can produce harmful gases____67____
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素)，which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants.____68____So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
____69____It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a consistent effort.____70____Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.
A．The way to begin is with education and understanding.
B．Paper-recycling produces cellulose to make more paper.
C．Harmful paper in landfills results in global climate change.
D．Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production.
E．Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking.
F．The gas released is called methane which is a significant contributor in global warming.
G．Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff we are familiar with any more.

Redefine failure. ____77____. In other words, this is the fear of failure.

Research has shown that people who take on an avoidance focus become twice as mentally exhausted as the approach-focused ones.
____79____. Author and investor Tim Ferriss recommends “fear-setting”, creating a checklist of what you are afraid to do and what you fear will happen if you do it.

Focus on learning. The chips aren’t always going to fall where you want them to — but if you come down to earth, you can be prepared to wring (拧，挤) the most value out of the experience, no matter the outcome. When you shift gears to focus not on your potential for failure but on what you could learn from competing at a higher level than before, ____80____ .

Opt for an area that gets 6-8 hours of sun daily.
Since most flowering plants and vegetables require much sun, opt for the sunniest area in your yard to place your garden. ____87____ If the area you have to choose doesn’t get a lot of light during the day, you may still be able to grow plants that thrive in the shade.
Pick a spot that’s close to a water source.
