21、As Dr. Srini Pillay states in her new book, the brain does its best work when it’s allowed to move between focus and unfocus. Here are several tips to help you find your flow.
Engage in positive constructive day dreaming. 【1】 Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe an imaginary forest or a warm, sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer you fresh ideas.
Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 【2】 To help, turn off text messaging and social media notifications. When they are shut off, our brains get a chance to complete full sentences of thought.
【3】 Are you sharp and quick in mind in the morning? Or is night person more your style? Either way works as long as you schedule your most important projects during your brain’s periods of peak performance. Try to reserve your best brain time for the big stuff.
Try new hobbies. This is fun and can help us think of new solutions to problems. 【4】
Keep away from digital devices. Taking a digital sabbath — intentionally setting aside time to rest from your screens and all their interruptions — offers an important benefit, 【5】 It also helps us to “reset and think about what’s really important.”
A.Unfocus your mind.
B.Make friends with your body clock.
C.Our days are filled with distractions.
D.It reminds us there’s a world outside our screens.
E.Schedule into every workday some breaks from focusing.
F.Allowing your mind time to play is a way to work better.
G.Digital devices can greatly improve our working efficiency.

Dear Dani, I have two best friends and they’re always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything. What can I do?

But tell her that your secret is important to you and that she must not do this again. If your friend finds it hard to keep a secret, be careful what you tell her in future. |

23、 Check off the Four Corners
Arizona,Utah,Colorado and New Mexico are not simply the only four American states that meet at a single point, but they also host the US's greatest concentration of national parks.
This is the place to come for that classic scene of the lonely desert road extending to the horizon. On your way,take in such sights as the Monument Valley and the mysterious remains of centuries-old civilizations in Colorado’s Mesa Verde.
Find beauty in the desert
With many miles of excellent roads,a self-drive trip in Namibia makes total sense. Plan a route north from capital Windhoek to wildlife-rich Etosha National Park,before crossing Damaraland to reach the Skeleton Coast. The most impressive desert views are in the Namib-Naulduft National Park to the south. At Sossusvlei,the landscape takes on the quality of a surrealist painting.
Cross half a continent
The 1,761-mile-long Stuart Highway runs north to south through Australia’s Red Centre. It is not a road where every turn shows new wonders ; the reward of this trip comes in the gradual change in your surroundings, from red soils’ in Australia’s outback to the tropical (热带的) leaves of the Indian Ocean coast.
Take the high road
Among all the crashing of continental plates that raised up the Canadian Rockies, a 144-mile route was left more or less clear at their center. The Icefields Parkway now passes through this amazing scenery; with the access it brings to icy lakes, waterfalls and icefields, the section between Banff and Jasper has a good claim to being the most scenic in the world.
【1】Where can you experience ancient civilizations?
A.In Australia's Red Centre.
B.In the Canadian Rockies.
C.In Colorado’s Mesa Verde.
D.In the Namib-Naukluft National Park.

D.They are intended to raise environmental awareness.
24、 Time magazine’s tradition —“Person of the Year” originated in 1927, when it honored 25-year-old pilot Charles Lindbergh for the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean Though the magazine has recognized several young people for their global influence, it has never given the important honor to a teenager. But its 2019’s “Person of The Year” is the 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.
Thunberg’s rise to global reputation is even more surprising given that just over a year ago, she was a shy 15-year-old anxious about the increasing threat of climate change. In August 2018, tired of the “refusal” of world leaders to take action, the young girl started camping out in front of the Swedish Parliament every Friday with a sign that said: “School Strike for Climate.”
The teen’s act of protest soon drew public attention, inspiring kids and adults worldwide to take action. By September 2018, her weekly strike became a global climate change movement called “Fridays for the Future”, with tens of thousands of students skipping school on this day to protest the inaction of the leaders of their respective countries. Her appeal for progress in environment protection also encouraged other young activists to begin their own climate change movements.
Varshini Prakash, co-founder of the US Youth-Led Sunrise Movement, says Thunberg “symbolizes the suffering, the frustration, the desperation, the anger — at some level, the hope — of many young people who won’t even be of age to vote by the time their futures are doomed.”
The teenager, who has single-handedly helped bring climate change to the forefront of the global conversation, owes her success to her Asperger’s syndrome (阿斯佩各综合征). She says, “I see the world in black and white, and I don’t like compromising. If I were like everyone else, I would have continued on and not seen this crisis. Right now, we have entered a new decade — a decade that will define our future. And I’ve seen hope, but it does not come from the governments or companies. It comes from the people.”
【1】Why did Greta Thunberg camp out in front of Swedish Parliament every Friday?
A.To heighten public awareness of environmental protection.
B.To show her support for school strike for climate.
C.To condemn the government’s inaction on climate change.
D.To win a global reputation as a teenager climate change activist.
【2】Where can we find the direct influence of Greta Thunberg’s behavior?
A.In paragraph2. B.In paragraph3.
C.In paragraph4. D.In paragraph5.
【3】What kind of girl is Greta Thunberg according to the passage?
A.Positive and sensitive. B.Uncaring but reliable.
C.Selfish but intelligent. D.Brave and determined.
【4】We can learn from the passage that _____________.
A.Charles Lindbergh is the first adolescent “Person of the Year” of Time magazine
B.on account of Asperger’s syndrome, Greta Thunberg has suffered a lot
C.all governments haven’t already taken effective measures to deal with climate change
D.Varshini Prakash thinks little of Thunberg and her strike for climate change
25、After Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers in a construction accident, Eric Catalano tattooed fingernails onto his hand. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,” Bertram said. “Doing work is _________ now. Everything is just a little different.”
He can’t tie his shoes with _________, type on a keyboard or hold food the same way anymore. But after two surgeries and occupational treatment, he decided to make light of his new _________ by asking Catalano to create the fingernail tattoo.

The widely spread photo _________ Catalano, 39, further into the world of paramedical tattooing (医疗纹身). Now people with life-altering scars come from as far as Ireland to visit Catalano’s tattoo shop in this rural village. With flesh -toned ink and a needle, Catalano makes his clients feel whole again with an art form and industry that picks up where doctors __________.
Paramedical tattoo is a __________ new field, but it is growing, thanks to cosmetic and plastic surgery technology. Catalano, while __________ $ 100 for a regular tattoo, provides free paramedical tattoos supported with only tiny public __________.
