5 Ways To Strengthen Your Immune System (免疫系统)
Do you also think about how to keep yourself healthy during these unusual times? We would like to help you so that we can achieve our great common goal: to protect fellow human beings and not to be an unconscious (不知觉的) carrier of viruses (病毒携带者). ____1____ All you have to do for this: Make conscious decisions every day that benefit your health. So that you can do that, we reveal (公布) our five best tips for strengthening the immune system, all of which work at home. Take care of yourself and stay healthy.
____2____
You probably know by now how important a balanced diet is for your health. By eating the right foods, you can strengthen your immune system. Especially in times like these, we recommend eating mainly plant-based foods, as they provide you with important fiber and phytochemicals. Dietary fiber is essential for your “good” intestinal bacteria, and at the same time ensures that the “bad” bacteria are minimized.
Eat Your Meals At Intervals (间隔)
As you probably know, intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) has many advantages. But did you know, that the immune system also benefits from it. What your immune system particularly benefits, however, are the autophagy processes (自噬过程) that are set in motion by this.
Keep Your Body Temperature Warm
You probably already know that viruses don’t like heat. ____3____ You can raise your body temperature a little with a hot shower or a very warm bath. Another option is to drink hot tea in the evening or to take a hot water bottle to bed with you. Because: Sweating has a similar effect to the body’s own fever, and viruses don’t like that at all. It is also advisable to keep warm throughout the day. Hot drinks are also ideal here. They gently increase your body temperature through the throat area — exactly the place where viruses want to enter.
Movement
Movement is not only essential (重要的) for a pain-free and flexible life it also strengthens our immune system. When we exercise, we release adrenaline — a hormone (荷尔蒙) that induces our immune cells to multiply and become more active in the shortest possible time ____4____.
Sleep
Getting enough sleep is just as important for a good immune system. ____5____. During sleep, the body develops specialized antibodies such as T cells. They are an important part of the learned immune response. It is known that if you don’t get enough sleep, you don’t develop antibodies.
A．This is one of the reasons why most people get sick more often during the cold times of the year.
B．A strong immune system is the best prevention against disease.
C．Food
D．Exercise also lowers chronic inflammation in the body
E．Eating little
F．During the day, it is mainly the innate (天生的) immune system that works
G．Sleep is important too.

Can fruits and vegetables grow without sunlight or soil? ___6___ Vertical farms grow produce indoors by stacking up layers of plants.
In 2015, a company called AeroFarms took an old steel mill in Newark, New Jersey, and turned it into the world’s largest vertical farm, consisting of twelve rows of floor-to-ceiling trays of “grow tables” to hold plants. The plants do not need soil. ___7___  Instead of sunlight, LED lights produce the red and blue light that plants absorb to make food. Computers and sensing devices monitor and control plant growth as well as temperature, humidity, water, and the nutrient solution.
___8___ A traditional farm uses 533 acres of land and provides 533 acres of growing space. To produce the same number of crops, a vertical farm uses 0. 5 acres of land and 23 acres of growing space. Moreover, outdoor farms use a lot of water-almost 70 percent of the world’s drinkable water! Indoor farms use only about 10 percent of the water required by traditional farms, and the water can be reused.
Vertical farms have some disadvantages. They’re great for growing vegetables and fruits, but large plants such as watermelon or corn use too much space for this type of farming. ___9___ In addition, setup costs are high because urban land is expensive and the controlled environments and equipment need constant monitoring.
The benefits of vertical farming, however, may outweigh the disadvantages. About 815 million people in the world do not have enough food. One major benefit of vertical farming is that it can help reduce world hunger. ___10___
A．With vertical farms, it can be done.
B．People can make it possible without sunlight or soil.
C．They are fed a solution of water mixed with plant nutrients.
D．So small plants are more suitable to grow on a vertical farm.
E．Some plants can’t be grown because they need bees to pollinate them.
F．This farming method produces large amounts of food in relatively small spaces.
G．Environmentally, vertical farms are more efficient than traditional outdoor farms.

More and more people enjoy listening to music while they work, believing that music helps boost creativity. But an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpoint. ____11____
To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. ____12____ They found that background music significantly weakened the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects’ creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. ____13____ Then, they were asked to find a single word that could be combined with the three to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sunshine, sunflower, etc). Participants completed the tasks either in a quiet room or while listening to different types of music.
“We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions.” says Dr. McLatchie. Dr. McLatchie with his colleagues concludes that music disturbs the verbal working memory of the brain. ____14____ Also, as far as the library background noises have seemingly no effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.
“____15____ Instead, they demonstrate music, regardless of its types, consistently interrupts creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.
A．And this in turn blocks creativity.
B．First, all participants spoke out three words of their favorite music.
C．Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background.
D．Prior to the task, the participants were not exposed to the music they would listen.
E．For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, shine, and flower.
F．To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity.
G．Psychologists from several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.

Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? ____16____. It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun it has. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ____17____, and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition. ____18____.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots. ____19____, so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go”, or turn on a certain song, or whatever. ____20____. And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party!
A．Less people than that
B．Hold a clothing swap
C．If two people are competing
D．Just keep music playing throughout
E．Donate whatever goods are left over
F．Place a few mirrors around your room

We know it’s good to learn another language. It broadens your horizons, helps you make new friends, and it’s fun too. But to improve our linguistic skills, many of us have to go through hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. Do we really have to do so? Or is there something convenient available? ____41____ There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. ____42____ And that’s why there are numerous learning apps available, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Keep a record of your achievements
It is common for people with limited self-confidence to compare themselves unfavorably with others. Such people may assume that others are “better”. ___59___ . If you do this, you may find that the list is longer than you thought. Imagine what you would think if this were a list of someone else’s achievements. Would you think highly of that person?

____62____
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new? ____63____. During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don’t hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything. Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc. arc very expensive at these places. ____64____ Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
____65____. Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying yon bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

____67____What do you hear? Traffic? Discussions on the latest gossip? People on the cellular phones that are trying to compete with the noise? Cursing and swearing?

Now smell the air. Exhausts? Odors you feel uncomfortable? Smell again. Concentrate this time. ____68____

According to a common saying, “Honesty is the best policy.” ____71____ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they’re doing it. But despite all this, honesty really is worth the effort.
One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk? ____72____. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember. But if you commit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you.
Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. ____73____. And a lie about someone else could destroy that person’s reputation.

____74____ This will help you in every area of your life. Business deals, friendships, family an romantic relationships all depend on trust.

B．It means you only tell the truth, or white lies when necessary.

F．Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else.
G．People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them.

Tips for Successful Family Meetings
Life is more complex than any family drama from the golden age of television may have had us believe. When Mom, Dad and the kids faced a sticky problem, they generally had it neatly resolved within the running time of that week's episode (一集). ___76___ The process allows every family member to air thoughts and concerns and in doing so, to hear one another out. Here are some tips to plan for and carry out successful family meetings.
Preparing for the meeting. ___77___ First consider why it is you re meeting. The organization of bringing everyone together means coordinating (协调) schedules, but if the reason for the discussion is especially pressing—for example, your father is declining and your mother needs immediate assistance—then coordinating schedules, while challenging, is necessary. If you do have to arrange a family meeting to discuss the care of a parent, it can be helpful.
___78___ Decide on the most pressing issue(s) so that everyone has a clear focus for the conversation. It's a good idea to include these topics in the meeting invitation you send to your family members.
Time and place. The Internet can make it easier to gather individuals who live far apart. ___79___ Decide beforehand which family members will be asked to provide input and which of them will have a deciding voice. (For example, you might want all adult children and their significant others to participate in the meeting, but only the adults in the nuclear family to have a part in decision-making.)

A．Keep to one or two topics.
B．Pick the appropriate places.

You may consider spending time in nature. Go outside! Even spending a short time in nature has a positive effect on your mood. ____82____ Besides increasing your vitamin D, spending time in nature could help calm and relax you as well as helping to improve your immunity (免疫力). So go outside and enjoy yourself in the sun.
____83____ A short exercise session will help you meet your fitness goals and give you an energy improvement. If your workplace has a gym or there is one nearby, keep a gym bag in your office so you have no excuse not to go. If not, you can take a walk. Just keep moving!
Reading can also be a good choice. ____84____ So read a chapter of a good physical book. Not a reader? Listening to something also helps. You can listen to audiobooks to refresh yourself and relax. In short, take time to recharge your batteries for the rest of the day.
Eat mindfully. Good nutrition plays an important role in your physical and mental health. Make your lunch count by eating nutritious foods.

Five ways to end procrastination(拖延症)
Never put off till tomorrow what maybe done today. Waiting until later is on c of life’s guilty secrets, but procrastination is linked to poorer health, work and relationship outcomes. Here are five ways to try to remedy(纠正) procrastination.
1. A five-minute start
Five minutes is nothing-it’s just three hundred seconds. Is the length of a song or a TV commercial. Pick up a project you’ve been putting off and spare just 300 seconds of your time to do it.____136____After a while the desire of beginning the task will push you forward.
2. Set goals and rewards
During the day, set goals and rewards. Each time you achieve a goal you earn the reward: a short break, a funny YouTube video or something else.____137____Make sure you select a time to review your progress and adjust your targets accordingly.
3. Be good to yourself-me today VS me tomorrow
Sometimes, when you find yourself buried in work, you are upset with yourself for not having started earlier. Imagine a conversation, between “you today” and “you tomorrow”____138____
4. I was there-eye-witness
Going public with a goal increases your support. Consider going on a diet: Is there more pressure if you announce it to all your friends, with strict rules to follow if you are invited to dinner? It seems an obvious way of making you feel guilty, but it can also be highly effective.
5. Set creative punishments
____139____You could write a note to someone that you don’t like. Give the note to a friend with strict instructions to mail the note if you do not achieve your goal. The more you dislike the other party, the stronger the motivation to get the task done.

____141____ It takes time to learn how to prevent your tendency to laugh, but distraction is an easy way to stop yourself, in the meantime. Try one of these options for shifting your thoughts away from what’s setting off your laughter.
Identify what makes you laugh inappropriately. Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to deal with painful feelings? Maybe you laugh because you have a lot of energy or have trouble finding the words you want to say. ____142____
Choose replacement behavior for the laughter. ____143____ For example, nod, lick (舔) your lips, exhale (呼气) slowly, or click a pen. What you decide to replace your laughter with depends on the circumstances that are causing your laughter. For example, you may laugh nervously during work meetings. If this is the case, click your pen instead of laughing.
Create a plan for replacing your laughter. ____144____ Reviewing your plan in your mind makes it more likely that you’ll be able to follow through.

Ideally, you’ll have already been practicing healthy habits throughout your life. But even if you haven’t, it’s never too late to start taking active steps to maintain and even improve your health. Adopting even a few of the habits will start you on the right track.
____146____ According to Medline Plus, exercising regularly can improve your balance, help keep you mobile, improve your mood by reducing feelings of anxiety and depression, and contribute to better cognitive functioning. ____147____ Any exercise at all is better than none. CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week; you can further break this down into 30 active minutes a day for five days a week.
One article found that participants who reported higher levels of social activity were more likely to experience more positive moods, fewer negative feelings, and higher levels of physical activity. If you don’t currently have an active social life, look for opportunities to reconnect with old friends or make new ones. ____148____
Regular checkups with your doctor are opportunities to catch problems early and treat them before they become bigger problems. If you are experiencing memory or mobility issues, or have been recently hospitalized, you may want to schedule an appointment with geriatricians (老年病学专家). ____149____ Following an initial consultation, they can help you create a care plan tailored to your needs.
It may seem like a no-brainer, but it bears repeating that you should always take any medication prescribed to you exactly as directed by your doctor.
