How to SurviveExam Stress
Exam time is one of the most stressful in school, whether it is highschool, college or graduate school. Even the best students feel the pressure. The first sign of a problem while preparing for an exam isworry. If we can get rid of worries, or at leastcontrol them, then we're in a much better position to do well on our tests.

Another way tore place negative thoughts is to do something physically active. Work out. Takea quick walk or a nice run. For example, I might worry about the examhaving surprise questions that I'm not prepared to answer. But I can put thosethoughts aside by reminding myself that I've taken many exams and I've handledsurprise questions before.
The third option is to treat the symptoms. Keepthings in perspective. Think of one final exam that causes you the mostanxiety. Now think of the worst thing that could happen. If you've prepared,then likely the worst grade you could get is a C. And, if you've been applying what we've been talking about, then you'll likely do no worse than a B. .

How parents can help with cyberbullying（网络欺凌）?
43% of kids have been bullied online. One in four has had it happen more than once.70% of students reported seeing frequent bullying online. Many studies suggest that cyberbullying has become a serious problem worldwide and makes many kids suffer.
Let teachers know about the situation. Many schools have protocols（协议）for responding to cyberbullying. Before reporting the problem, let your children know what you want to do so that you can make a plan that makes you both feel comfortable.
Encourage your children not to respond to cyberbullying, because doing so just fuels the fire and makes the situation worse. Instead, you should keep the threatening messages, pictures, and texts, which can be used as evidence for the bully's parents, schools, or even the police.
Limit your kids' access to the Internet. Though hurtful, many kids who are bullied can't resist the temptation（诱惑）to check websites or phones to see if there are new messages. Many websites and smartphones include parental control options that allow parents to control kids' online life.
Follow your children on social media sites, but do not make comments or post anything on your children's whereabouts online. And also tell them why it's a bad idea to share it online.
A. Know your kids' online world.

Four benefits of writing by hand
Today is National Handwriting Day! Although we don't write like we used to, here are four ways handwriting is still helpful.
It's better for learning.
That's because putting ink to paper stimulates (刺激) the brain. One study from 2010 found that the brain areas related to learning “lit up” much more when kids were asked to write words like “spaceship” by hand versus just studying the word closely.
Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer. Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts (草稿) before typing them up for editing later. She said, “” A 2009 study seems to support Sontag's preference for writing by hand: Elementary school students who wrote essays with a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends, but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences.
It will prevent you from being distracted (分心).
The computer in front of you is really a distraction.In 2012, scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker. However, when it's time to work on that essay, have only a pen and paper in front of you.
It keeps your brain sharp as you get older.
According to The Wall Street Journal, some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age.
A. It makes you a better writer.
B. Writing is good for your brain.
C. Of course, the Internet isn't all bad.
D. I like the slowness of writing by hand.
E. Try writing by hand at least 20 minutes each day.
F. Many writers have a preference for writing by hand.
G. One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand.
Empathy is the ability to imagine what it must be like in someone else's situation. It is an essential part of what it means to be human, to the extent that we are suspicious of anyone who does not show empathy in their behavior.
We read novels, watch television and go to the theatre, and part of our enjoyment comes from understanding the dilemma faced by the characters because we know how we would feel if we were in the same situation.
One study has shown animals displaying empathy towards other animals and towards humans. Creatures from across the animal kingdom such as bees and whales, as well as domestic pets, display behavior that suggests they cooperate with and protect each other.
In another study, psychiatrist Jules Masserman and his team conducted an experiment with monkeys in which the monkeys pulled one of two chains that released food. One chain simply released the food, while another gave an electric shock to a second monkey. The first monkey stopped pulling the chain that delivered the shock.This empathetic behavior was observed in a number of monkeys.
The origin of empathy is probably the need for the young of all animal species to be cared for. They communicate this requirement by crying for attention and to show pain. Both human and non-human young were more likely to survive if their parents reacted positively to their needs. People and animals alike are social beings and are more likely to work together.If we help others, we are also helping ourselves and so empathy is sensible and realistic.
We don't always display empathy, however. Just as animals react aggressively to unknown creatures from their own or other species, humans tend to regard people they don't know with suspicion.Our unwillingness to trust anyone unfamiliar is as natural to us as our empathy towards those we know and love.
A. To feel empathy is not restricted to real life.
B. You can empathize with someone without feeling sympathy for them.
C. This fear of strangers will, we believe, protect us from personal danger.
D. It seemed to be willing to go hungry rather than see a fellow animal suffer.
E. However, it seems that in fact empathy may not be a quality unique to humans.
F. Empathy plays a role in that as it allows us to understand our fellow humans better.
G. It's certainly difficult to understand an animal's intention behind an emphatic response.

A. What do network security experts do B. Try using shortened phrases for passwords C. How can we ensure the safety of a password D. Changing password regularly is an effective way E. That is like closing a door but not actually locking it F. It is used to say farewell to popular passwords like "123456" G. And it is also difficult for us to remember a long irregular password |
The first Thursday in May is World Password Day, but don't buy a cake or send cards. Computer chip maker Intel created the event as an annual reminder. .
The purpose of a password is to limit access to information. Having a very common or simple one like "abcdef" or even normal words like "password", is barely any security at all. . Hackers' password cracking tools take advantage of this lack of creativity and get in our accounts easily. More experienced users would choose a less common password. However, they might still fall victim to cracking software.
? A secure password is all that stands between us and a cybercriminal. It should be unique and complex which a hacker can't easily guess or crack. The best passwords are supposed to be at least 15 characters long and full of random numbers and letters. However, a long password means a complicated process to log into a website. . You may want to write it down, but it is not suggested due to risk.
Then what should we do? . You can choose a phrase such as "I want to go to England." Next, convert it to an abbreviation (缩略语) by using the first letters of each word and changing the word "to" to "2". Then you get following password phrase: iw2g2e. You can make it even more complex by adding punctuation, spaces or symbols: %iw_2g2e!@. It is much easier to remember and safer.
Can't wait to try? Let's say goodbye to "666666" and change your password right now.
Do you enjoy your work? Maybe you do or maybe you don't. Chances are that you fall somewhere in the middle: you have good days and bad days, and you could definitely be happier than you currently are..
Be Friendly to Your Colleagues
In some big offices, people might not even say "good morning" to one another. . You might think that you have nothing in common with them, but if you strike up a conversation, you may well find that they share some of your interests, hopes or ambitions.
Focus on How You're Helping Clients
Some jobs are pretty tiresome — there's no way round that. Whatever you're doing, though, you're helping someone.
Perhaps you work in McDonalds, helping customers who want a cheap, quick meal. Perhaps you do data entry, helping a big company to get their records organized so that they can take better care of their clients. In most jobs，you've got the potential to make someone else's day that bit better..
Do Your Hardest Task First
Have you ever put off a difficult phone call or a highpressure task for days and days, only to find it appears larger and larger in your mind? I've read a lot of productivity advice over the past few years, and something that almost all experts seem to agree on is that it's a good idea to get tough tasks out of the way as quickly as possible.. Plus, you'll constantly have that task hanging over you and dragging your mood down.
Try eating at regular intervals — and go for healthy, tasty foods which make you feel energized rather than sluggish. Fresh fruit is a great snack option, or you can have dried fruit, nuts and/or seeds. Don't forget to drink enough water, too.

Negative thoughts we have about ourselves can destroy our spirits. Many of us have problems with negative thoughts. The negative thoughts lead to bad feelings and they make you believe that the bad things you are suffering are actually true. In short, they bring your focus on your failures, which will make you depressed. What can you do to avoid negative thoughts to affect you?
Recognize that actions always follow beliefs
Whatever you believe, you'll experience more of them. . So start believing the best about yourself and believe that you're valuable person.
Picture the good things
If you want to change the negative tapes playing in your heads, you have to imagine yourself positively that means judging yourself right. . How would that look? Draw it in your mind and expand it.
You may talk to yourself with statements like "if only" or "what if". The former keeps reminding you of the past with regret, while the latter keeps you fearful of the future. There is nothing you can do about the past and the future isn't here yet.
Develop positive views
Instead of always putting yourself down in your head, think of some things you actually like about yourself. Tell yourself " I am able. I'm good at it." instead of saying "I'm not good enough", .
Thinking poorly gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting. Decide, today, to turn off the negative channel in your mind and develop your true possibilities.

B. Live in the moment
C. Here are some suggestions

In recent years, riding a hot-air balloon has become more and more popular. Many people practice flying a hot-air balloon as a sport. Some people may question the safety of riding a hot-air balloon. Generally speaking, hot-air balloons are quite safe.
Before examining the safety of hot-air balloons, it may help to understand how they work. Each balloon has a large bag called an envelope, attached to a bag or gondola(吊篮). In order to get enough lift, the air in the bag is heated with the assistance of a flame. As the air heats up, the balloon rises.
Like kites, hot-air balloons travel with the wind. Typically, pilots choose the early morning hours to fly since wind speeds are low. Meanwhile, the flight will become more enjoyable.
High winds and extreme weather such as storm and snow are very dangerous. An experienced pilot will not fly in these conditions. Good pilots always check their equipment before beginning a flight, and they often carry backup for safety even in sunny days.
Riding hot-air balloons can be great fun, and it's very safe as long as passengers follow the directions of the pilot. People who have a fear of heights may want to skip the experience, however.
A. Of course, some people enjoy it as a relaxing activity.
B. Low wind speeds make flying hot-air balloons much safer.
C. This, of course, is for those who love to challenge themselves.
D. The requirements of flying a hot-air balloon vary in different nations.
E. The weather is the most important concern in the safety of hot-air balloons.
F. Sometimes weather, such as lightning, is the cause of hot-air balloon accidents.
G. When the flight is over, the pilot slowly lets out air to allow the balloon to drop.
A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? "That didn't go as planned. But, I tried my best."
●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.
●Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?
A. Feeling upset again?
B. Where do you start?
C. Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D. Remember, you are only human.
E. Set an intention for self-acceptance.
F. Stop comparing yourself with others.
G. When does the comparison game start?
Why Do Autumn Leaves Change Color?
We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. To answer this question, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the earth through their roots and take carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use the sugar as food for energy. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). Chlorophyll(叶绿素) helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees will rest and shut down their food-making factories. There is no chlorophyll in the leaves. As the bright green fades away(逐渐消失), we begin to see yellow and orange colors. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sugar is kept in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from the wastes which are left in the leaves. All these things make the beautiful colors we enjoy in autumn.
A. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all the time.
B. Why do people prefer autumn leaves to summer leaves?
C. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into a kind of sugar.
D. Have you ever wondered how and why an autumn leaf changes color?
E. Yellow and orange colors attract many of us in autumn.
F. This is how trees "know" when to begin getting ready for winter.
G. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves to turn the sugar into a red color.
Cloning is defined as using the cells of one living subject, plant or animal, to create another duplicate (复制的) subject. A cloned subject will be the same as its parent. This technology could be useful for laboratory studies and for creating satisfying animals.
One of the biggest disadvantages of cloning is that the technology is still so uncertain. Dolly the sheep, the first mammalian clone, was born in 1996. While she was initially successful, she died young of a disease not normally seen in sheep of her age.
Losing gene diversity is another disadvantage of cloning. Gene diversity is what keeps an entire species from being wiped out by a singular virus. If gene diversity is lost due to excessive cloning, there are no mutations to allow some of the cloned group to survive a newly introduced disease.
Another of the disadvantages of cloning is that there are a lot of moral considerations that would cause most people to protest. Another concern is the treatment of clones. Clones would have the same needs as nonclones of their species. Humane treatment guidelines would still apply.
For example, imagine what a corrupt (腐败的) officer could do with cloning. There will always be someone looking to use cloning for their own personal use, and many feel that the best way to prevent this is not to pursue cloning at all.
The disadvantages of cloning are seen by many to far outweigh any benefits that might be seen. Because of the risk involved in cloning, it is a technology that many experts say may be better left alone, at least until it is better understood.
A. This is due to the lack of gene diversity.
B. One of these ethical concerns is that cloning is unnatural.
C. There is always a risk of cloning technology being abused.
D. There are many advantages of cloning, for example, curing certain diseases.
E. However, there are several disadvantages of cloning that should be considered.
F. It helps to explain why some people naturally are taller, shorter, or more athletic than others.
G. It is still unsure whether genetic mutations (突变) might occur when an animal is cloned.
Why do many people take vacations frequently? We need to take time out from work to relax, and just be ourselves.We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us—at least for a few weeks each year—and just have fun. This might be something as simple as reading a good book in front of a warm fireplace through to traveling to the most interesting places on our planet. Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out for.As we know, workplace stress is on the rise.These include disease, depression and even death. We all seem to be running from one place to the next, never finding out where we want to go in the first place. I intend to break that trend in the coming days.I will sleep late, write, watch movies, drink the occasional glass of wine, and eat to my heart's content, ignoring calorie counting. My plan is to just enjoy the fleeting(飞逝的) moments of being alive.Spend your next vacation the way you want; Do what will restore your mental health. You're very valuable to the people who are close to you, and to those who depend on it. Like it or not, we are all interdependent（互相依存的）in this great life of ours. There's no doubt that you are valuable. Just remember that the next time you look at a mirror and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this earth again.All you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.
A. Draw up a detailed plan so that you can see more.
B. With it come many health problems.
C. When you finally get home you'll be greatly refreshed.

Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better. Below are some great ways of learning as much as you can without putting you under too much pressure.
Find the right place to study.
The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions(分散注意力的事物) while studying. You should keep away from television sets and phone calls. Get all of your study materials together, so you will not be interrupted in the middle of your session.
Break down the tasks into smaller parts.
When you have gotten everything ready, list the items you need to study, and arrange them across several hours or days, depending on how big your load is. As a general rule, assign(分配) at least one hour to each subject. By doing this, you will be able to know more easily how long you need for each topic.
Schedule study breaks.
When you have listed all of your tasks and made a schedule, you should arrange study breaks. This will give your eyes some time to rest, and yourself an opportunity to go to the bathroom or have some coffee. Scheduled breaks will reduce the need for you to interrupt yourself to the lowest level during the study session.
Put your tasks in order of importance.
Just in case you run out of time to study, or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all subjects, you should study in order.
|
A. Each break may take about 15 minutes every two hours. B. Learn to arrange the subjects in order of importance. C. This means going to one place that will give you peace and quiet. D. The key to efficient study is following the schedule strictly. E. You can find a way to test your knowledge by having a study partner. F. If you have a broad subject, you will need to break it down into smaller parts. G. To make the best use of your time, you need to learn how to study efficiently(高效地). |
Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are an essential part of what makes us humans. They are a crucial step in learning, growing, and improving yourself. Not making mistakes is actually the biggest mistake you can ever make. Below are some ways to help you learn from mistakes.
Take 100% responsibility. After making a mistake, reflect on it. Only accepting responsibility can make learning possible. Therefore, take 100% responsibility, accept the consequences (后果) and be part of the solution to the problem. The sooner you accept responsibility, the sooner the problem is identified, and the sooner a resolution will be possible.
Figure out the cause of the mistake. Figuring out the cause will also help you avoid repeating it next time. Determine the specific action that has led to the mistake. Take time to look into the events, see if there are things that need to be improved, and take time to work on them. Make the necessary changes to see the positive results.
You cannot change the mistakes that were made in the past, but you can take the lesson learnt and apply it when necessary. Don't move forward through life being afraid of making mistakes. The moment you see mistakes as lessons rather than mistakes, you will no longer have this crazy scare of meeting them along your journey.
Apologize if necessary. Apologizing for a mistake you have made, which has affected someone, can make a big difference. By apologizing, you are showing bravery.
