【答案】1．D 2．G 3．F 4．A 5．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了抱怨的正面功能，如促进理解、建立社交联系、激发共鸣及推动实际改变，并提出高效抱怨的策略，强调目标清晰、选对倾听对象及有效沟通，旨在使抱怨成为有益、高效的交流方式。
1．上文“Complaining is often looked at as a negative, but if you perfect it great things can happen.(抱怨通常被视为消极的，但如果你把它做到完美，伟大的事情就会发生)”以及下文“Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy (共情) and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want.(文章和专家坚持认为，过多的抱怨会降低你的同情心，并阻止你实现梦想和过上你想要的生活)”说明抱怨有积极的一面，但是人们认为抱怨是会产生负面影响的。空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是虽然抱怨可以让好事发生，但是实际上抱怨通常让人觉得不好。D项“事实上，抱怨的名声不好。”符合语境。故选D。
2．上文“Complaining does serve as a real purpose in our lives.(抱怨确实是我们生活中的一个真正目的)”说明抱怨是我们生活中的一个真正目的。空处对前文进行解释，并引出下文，G项中的it指代前句中的complaining，“great things can happen”和下文中的“tend to be happier”相呼应，说明一旦我们发现如何利用整合它，好的事情就会发生。故选G。
3．上文“It plays a very important role in our lives and is a skill that can be extremely effective. (它在我们的生活中扮演着非常重要的角色，是一种非常有效的技能)”说明抱怨在人们的生活中起着重要的作用，是一种非常有效的技能。空处承上启下，说明抱怨在人们的生活中起着重要的作用，所以对待抱怨我们的目的不是消除，而且使其更加有用和有效，引出下文如何巧妙处理抱怨艺术的方法。所以F项“我们的目标不是消除抱怨，而是使其更加有用和有效。”符合语境。故选F。
4．上文“Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your goal.(选择那些能与你产生共鸣或帮助你实现目标的人)”说明我们需要选择和那些能与你产生共鸣或帮助你实现目标的人去抱怨。空处引出下文，A项中的the same people和下文中的“those who can empathize with you or help with your goal”相呼应，说明不要总和同一个人抱怨，选择那些能与你产生共鸣或帮助你实现目标的人。故选A。
5．上文“Use facts and logic.(运用事实和逻辑)”以及“Identify who has the ability to make it happen.(确定谁有能力做到这一点)”说明对上文给出的建议做出了总结。空处应对上文提及的要点3进行概括。上文“Make connections with others. It would be possible for people to know what you needed.(与他人建立联系。人们有可能知道你需要什么)”说明此处讲的是应该与别人多联系，所以空处应该是与社交有关的句子。C项“与他人建立社交关系，使投诉易于处理。”符合语境。故选C。
【知识对接】
1.通读整篇文章，把握文章脉络，理出文章中心。
把握全篇主题中心，分析文章结构，是解题的关键。语篇通常由段落构成，所以分析篇章结构包括两个层次：一是分析段落之间的层次，也就是语篇层次；二是分析每个段落内部的层次,即句际层次。尤其是选项与前(后)句之间的逻辑关系和信息联系，是确定答案的主要依据。
2.辨别语境线索。
(1)着重阅读问题所在段落。根据标点符号确定这一段有几个句子，再将这些句子按意义分出层次，如果是承接、平列、层进关系，则分为两个或两个以上的层次；如果是解释、转折一般就可以一分为二。再分析各层次之间的关系。最后检查核对层次划分有无错误，特别是长难句构成的语段层次是否明确。
(2)选项中有单词、词组、句子成分或与所选答案所在段内容相匹配或重合。
例如，代词方面，如果所选答案中有he，him， his等词，这就意味着空前面必然出现了a boy，a man等词或人名。如果这些词在空后面出现，就意味着正确答案中必有a boy，a man等词或人名。冠词方面，如果正确答案中出现了定冠词the，则空前将有不定冠词a(n)或与之相应的名词等出现。如果定冠词第一次出现在空后，则意味着空里所需的答案中会有不定冠词a(n)或相应的名词等出现。连接词方面，如果 but， however 等出现在答案中，则意味着该答案与空前部分含义是相反的，但同时又与空后的内容在含义上是一顺的或一致的，如果答案中有for another，前面不远处会有for one thing，如果答案中有other(s)，前面不远处会有 some，如果答案中有 second，前面不远处会有first等等。需要注意的是for one thing...for another...，some..other(s)...，first...second...等这些组合既可能出现在同一段落中，也可能分别出现在相邻两段的句首。
(3)如果有大小标题，难度就大为降低了。大标题是对全文的概括总结，小标题是对其下面段落的概括总结。几个小标题之间长短基本一致，用词的特点相同。
3.确定答案，入文复查。
本题即将做完时，如果有两个答案搞不准，不妨试着把两个答案换一下位置，认真分析，仔细甄别，看看换了之后上下文语意表达是否更通顺，行文结构是否更符合本段及全文逻辑。做完题后，看一眼剩下的两个落选答案，如果清晰地知道它们为什么落选，本题型答题就更确定了。
简略说，七选五答题技巧步骤就是：一、阅读短文，把握中心；二、明白体裁，理清思路；三、上下求索,瞻前顾后；四、确定答案，人文复查。

A
Many people think that being healthy is a difficult task that involves lots of dieting and time at the gym. 1 By supporting your body and mind, making some simple changes to your routine, and setting small goals for yourself, you can be on the path toward living a healthier, happier life.
Drink more water. Adults should drink 2-3 liters of water per day, while children should drink 1—2 liters. 2 Water keeps your body at the correct temperature and removes poison and maintains homeostasis（体内平衡）. Water also clears your skin, helps to control your appetite, and keeps you energized.
3 Every time you get moving you put yourself at risk for injury, so make sure you’re doing it right! You should always be drinking water during your workouts. Take breaks! It isn't being lazy; it's being healthy. After 30 minutes or so of exercise, grab your water bottle and lighten up. Your body needs a second to catch up. You'll be able to go further in the long run.
Think positively. A simple positive change on a situation can turn an challenge into an opportunity. Not only will you have more interest for life, but your immune（免疫的） system can also fight off colds and heart disease better! 4 Think of two things you’re grateful for. Eventually, your mind will notice the pattern and stop the negativity before you have to do it.
Get a good night's rest. Getting too little sleep or poor-quality sleep not only makes you easier to get sick, but also increases the time you need to recover from illness. When you sleep well, you can wake up ready to go and be more active all day. 5
A．Exercise wisely.
B．But that’s actually not true!
C．To start this difficult step, focus on gratitude.
D．That is in addition to other drinks like tea or coffee.

Social media is a double-edged sword. It can be good or bad, depending on how people use it. Here are several ways to help one use it responsibly.
6
Social media can be a big waste of time if you spend most of your day looking through what other people post, commenting on and liking things, or looking at every message on your device. Instead, you should learn to practice some self-control and limit your usage every day. 7 Afterward, set an amount of time for your social media use, such as 10 minutes every time.
Think twice before posting something.
Materials posted on social media are often more lasting than you think. And even if your post is deleted, words and images you upload on these platforms can remain online and be difficult to remove. 8 Therefore, before posting something online, consider if it would negatively affect others. If it is, then don’t post it. 9 This can destroy your reputation or others’.
Learn to check the truth of things that you see.
Some of the things you see on social media might not necessarily be true, especially when it comes to news and information. You may immediately believe what you see and read. The danger of this behavior is that you might be spreading misinformation if you share what you have seen before checking the truth of the post. 10 Check from other sources whether what you have seen and read is true. Ask opinions from other people.
A．Follow those that matter to you.
B．Don’t let social media eat all your time.
C．And you never know where they might end up.
D．What’s more, avoid posting unprofessional photos or bad comments.
E．Social media can have a powerful impact on a person’s emotional state.
F．Just make it a practice to research the accuracy of any information or image.
G．For example, try setting specific times per day when you check your social media accounts.
【答案】6．B 7．G 8．C 9．D 10．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体是一把双刃剑。它既可以是好事，也可以是坏事，这取决于人们如何使用它。文章主要介绍了一些帮助人们负责任地使用社交媒体的方法。
6．此处是本段小标题，根据下文“Social media can be a big waste of time if you spend most of your day looking through what other people post, commenting on and liking things, or looking at every message on your device. Instead, you should learn to practice some self-control and limit your usage every day.(如果你每天花大部分时间浏览别人发布的内容、评论和点赞，或者查看设备上的每条消息，那么社交媒体可能会浪费你大量的时间。相反，你应该学会自我控制，限制自己每天的使用量)”可知，本段主要介绍不要让社交媒体浪费你所有的时间，B项“不要让社交媒体占用你所有的时间。”符合题意，故选B。
7．上文“Instead, you should learn to practice some self-control and limit your usage every day.(相反，你应该学会自我控制，限制自己每天的使用量)”指出要控制使用社交媒体的时间，空处承接上文，指出具体怎么做，G项“例如，尝试设置每天检查社交媒体帐户的特定时间。”符合题意，给出例子告诉我们该如何控制使用社交媒体的时间，故选G。
8．根据本段小标题“Think twice before posting something.(发布内容前请三思)”可知，本段主要介绍在社交媒体上发布内容前要三思，下文“Materials posted on social media are often more lasting than you think. And even if your post is deleted, words and images you upload on these platforms can remain online and be difficult to remove.(社交媒体上发布的材料往往比你想象的更持久。即使你的帖子被删除，你在这些平台上上传的文字和图片仍会保留在网上，很难删除)”解释了原因，空处也应承接上文，指出在社交媒体上发布内容前要三思的原因，C项“你永远不知道它们最终会去往何方。”符合题意，they代指上文提到的Materials posted on social media，故选C。
9．上文“Therefore, before posting something online, consider if it would negatively affect others. If it is, then don’t post it.(因此，在网上发布内容之前，请考虑它是否会对他人产生负面影响。如果是，那么就不要发布)”指出在发布内容前要深思熟虑，即考虑是否对他人产生负面影响，空处承接上文，也应指出该如何做，D项“此外，避免发布不专业的照片或负面评论”符合题意，故选D。
10．上文“Some of the things you see on social media might not necessarily be true, especially when it comes to news and information. You may immediately believe what you see and read. The danger of this behavior is that you might be spreading misinformation if you share what you have seen before checking the truth of the post.(你在社交媒体上看到的一些事情不一定是真的，尤其是新闻和信息。你可能会立即相信你所看到和读到的内容。这种行为的危险在于，如果你在核实帖子的真实性之前就分享你所看到的内容，你可能会传播错误的信息)”指出在社交媒体上看到的一些事情不一定是真的并指出了其危害，所以我们要核实信息的准确性，F项“养成研究任何信息或图像的准确性的习惯。”符合题意，故选F。

I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and I like to read blogs(博客)in other languages. 16 . Bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles(字幕)in the language you're learning. 17 ,they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening in your new language. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them. I can be hooked for hours. 18
However, the hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian, 19 Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting self-satisfied, it's time to take a new course or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
20 The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A．That's really uncomfortable.
B．Whatever languages they're translated into.
C．I also try to think in the language I'm learning.
D．It's time well spent if I'm learning the language.
E．Computer games always make me feel worn out.
F．Though they don't always exactly match what's being said,
G．I found them the perfect learning tool for their oral language.
【答案】16．G 17．F 18．D 19．A 20．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者自己学习外语的方法和技巧。
16．空格上句“I always follow my interests and I like to read blogs(博客)in other languages.”说明我总是依照我的兴趣，喜欢读其他语言的博客，G选项中“found them the perfect learning tool ”与上文“ like to read ”是顺承关系，说明读用其它语言书写的博客后，我发现了这个完美的学习语言的工具，结合下文“Bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.”说明博主们的写作方式和他们说话的方式是一样的，所以我不必太担心采用那些只在写作中使用的奇怪术语，G选项中“their oral language”与本句中的“the same way they speak”一致，说明因为这些博客使用了口语，因此这些博文是完美的学习语言的工具。因此推断G项符合语境，起着承上启下的作用。故选G项。
17．上句“Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles(字幕)in the language you're learning.”说明电影也是一个很好的学习语言的工具，特别是如果你能找到你所学的语言的字幕时。因此推断此处讲述电影字幕是学习外语的好工具，空格后半句“they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language.”说明它们仍然可以让你的大脑用同一种语言听和读。与F项“they don't always exactly match what's being said(尽管他们（指代字幕）并不总是完全符合（电影）所说的)。”是让步关系，用though引导让步状语从句，故选F项。
18．上文的“Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.”说明游戏也是学习一门新语言的极好的办法，和D项的the language相吻合。空前一句“ I'm super competitive and if I play any of them. I can be hooked for hours.(我有超级的好胜心，如果我玩其中的任何一个游戏，我能被吸引好几个小时”说明我喜欢玩游戏，花费很长时间在游戏上，因此推断如果我在学习这门游戏使用的语言，花费这些时间就是很值得的了。故选D项。
19．上文“However, the hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian，”说明对我来说，最难的部分是我能自如地使用一种语言来理解大多数事情，并让别人理解我。在学习挪威语中，我实际上一直停留在这个阶段。A项的That指的就是上文的这种状况，A项中的“uncomfortable”与上文的“stuck at this stage”一致，说明那种状况真的很不舒服。A项切题。故选A项。
20．下文“The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.”说明当我在上俄语课的时候我几乎忘记了英语，这帮助我真正地沉浸在俄语中，用我有限的俄语做了很多事情。可知，我还试着用我正在学的语言来思考。设空处位于段首，是对下文内容的总结。C项中的“try to think in the language(试着用这种语言来思考)”总结下文。故选C项。

How to be energetic all the time
Many people often lack energy and feel tired. If you are one of them, take the following suggestions to become an energetic person and make use of your full potential.
Manage your stress. If you are upset by emotions that result from stress, you will likely find that you have run out of energy. 26 To control your stress, consider talking things out with a close friend or perhaps consulting a psychiatrist.
Take a nap when it is possible. Although you might be busy every day, there is always some time to get a few minutes of shut-eye. 27 Don’t sleep too long, or you might experience difficulty in falling asleep normally that night, which will throw off your whole sleep schedule.
28 Foods that have too much sugar can lead to glucose fluctuations (血糖波动) which then cause energy levels to decrease. Many people suffer from low energy due to a lack of protein. For fast and effective energy change, you can eat a few handfuls of nuts.
Schedule your time in a practical, realistic manner. Being too busy can decrease your productivity and do harm to your mental health. So try to get one day of relaxation a week. 29
Exercise out. 30 Exercising out ensures sound sleep at night, and it helps oxygen to circulate, providing the cells with higher amounts of energy to burn. It also leaves you feeling refreshed and full of energy.
A．Eat less.
B．Sing alone or get up and dance.
C．Consider what you eat and drink.
D．Naps should be a maximum of 30 minutes.
E．In other words, emotions caused by stress eat up your energy.

Learn how to improve spoken English with our five quick tips.
Repeat the language!
Repeat words and sentences over and over again until you can say them really fluently. 1 The more you say it, the more it becomes fixed in your brain, and then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.
2
First, write out in note form the story you want to tell, and then using those notes, practise telling the story. Now this story could be something that happened to you or from a magazine. Just choose whatever you want, and practise telling it.
Memorise language!
3 You can do this by writing them out, or by speaking them out loud so that you’ll be speaking normally.
And the more you do this, the more they’ll stick in your mind.
Simultaneous (同步的) speaking!
Simultaneous speaking--it sounds difficult but it’s quite easy. And it’s something as easy as, you take an audio file(音频文件), and you listen along to it, and as you listen to it, you read it at the same time. 4 So, you’re trying to copy the intonation (语调), the pronunciation, the word stress(重音), and the sentence stress.
Practise forming questions!
Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question. 5 So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film ” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.
A．Listen to English!
B．Practise telling stories!
C．But you can read your coursebook or a magazine.
D．Try and remember as many phrases and expressions as you can.
E．Making questions is quite difficult if you haven’t been practising it.
F．For example, say “I went to the shops, I went to the shops” repeatedly.
G．And as you read it, you try to say it at the same time as the other person speaking.
【答案】1．F 2．B 3．D 4．G 5．E
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章作者分享了五个如何快速提高英语口语的技巧。
1．F项“例如，反复说“I went to the shops, I went to the shops””是对前句“一遍又一遍地重复单词和句子，直到你能流利地说它们”的举例说明。F项切题。故选F项。
2．根据下文“首先，把你想讲的故事写成笔记，然后用笔记练习讲故事。这个故事可能发生在你身上，也可能来自杂志。只要选择你想要的，然后练习说出来”可知，用笔记的形式记下你想讲的故事，然后用这些笔记练习讲故事，由此可见，该段的主旨大意是“练习讲故事”。B项切题。故选B项。
3．根据本段的主题“记忆语言”可知，D项“试着记住尽可能多的短语和表达”符合本段主题。D项切题。故选D项。
4．根据划线前句“它很简单，你拿一个音频文件，你听它，当你听的时候，你同时读它”和后句“所以，你要试着复制语调、发音、单词的重音和句子的重音”可知，G项“当你读的时候，你要试着在对方说话的同时说出来”在此承上启下。G项切题。故选G项。
5．E项中的questions与该段小标题中的questions是原词复现，且根据下文中的“And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.”可知，一开始将陈述句变为疑问句可能有些难，但通过不断的练习，你会越来越驾轻就熟。E项切题。故选E项。

They suggest that you cutout negativity from your life, especially people who complain. But humans love to complain. I know this because I get paid to sit with people while they complain and process every week.
Complaining does serve as a real purpose in our lives. 2 Dr Robin Kowalski found those who complain with the hopes of achieving a certain result tend to be happier.
Complaining also influences how people see us, creates social bonds, encourages empathy and helps create real changes. It plays a very important role in our lives and is a skill that can be extremely effective. 3
So here are some ways to deal with the art of complaining in a skillful way.
1. Clarify and organize your complaints. It will get your complaints across to others more easily.
2. Work out who can give you a hand. 4 Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your goal.
3. Make connections with others. It would be possible for people to know what you needed. Conclude from specific things above, and our complaining is much more likely to feel useful and effective:
·Use facts and logic.
·Identify who has the ability to make it happen.
· 5

【知识对接】
1.通读整篇文章，把握文章脉络，理出文章中心。
把握全篇主题中心，分析文章结构，是解题的关键。语篇通常由段落构成，所以分析篇章结构包括两个层次：一是分析段落之间的层次，也就是语篇层次；二是分析每个段落内部的层次,即句际层次。尤其是选项与前(后)句之间的逻辑关系和信息联系，是确定答案的主要依据。
2.辨别语境线索。
(1)着重阅读问题所在段落。根据标点符号确定这一段有几个句子，再将这些句子按意义分出层次，如果是承接、平列、层进关系，则分为两个或两个以上的层次；如果是解释、转折一般就可以一分为二。再分析各层次之间的关系。最后检查核对层次划分有无错误，特别是长难句构成的语段层次是否明确。
(2)选项中有单词、词组、句子成分或与所选答案所在段内容相匹配或重合。
例如，代词方面，如果所选答案中有he，him， his等词，这就意味着空前面必然出现了a boy，a man等词或人名。如果这些词在空后面出现，就意味着正确答案中必有a boy，a man等词或人名。冠词方面，如果正确答案中出现了定冠词the，则空前将有不定冠词a(n)或与之相应的名词等出现。如果定冠词第一次出现在空后，则意味着空里所需的答案中会有不定冠词a(n)或相应的名词等出现。连接词方面，如果 but， however 等出现在答案中，则意味着该答案与空前部分含义是相反的，但同时又与空后的内容在含义上是一顺的或一致的，如果答案中有for another，前面不远处会有for one thing，如果答案中有other(s)，前面不远处会有 some，如果答案中有 second，前面不远处会有first等等。需要注意的是for one thing...for another...，some..other(s)...，first...second...等这些组合既可能出现在同一段落中，也可能分别出现在相邻两段的句首。
(3)如果有大小标题，难度就大为降低了。大标题是对全文的概括总结，小标题是对其下面段落的概括总结。几个小标题之间长短基本一致，用词的特点相同。
3.确定答案，入文复查。
本题即将做完时，如果有两个答案搞不准，不妨试着把两个答案换一下位置，认真分析，仔细甄别，看看换了之后上下文语意表达是否更通顺，行文结构是否更符合本段及全文逻辑。做完题后，看一眼剩下的两个落选答案，如果清晰地知道它们为什么落选，本题型答题就更确定了。
简略说，七选五答题技巧步骤就是：一、阅读短文，把握中心；二、明白体裁，理清思路；三、上下求索,瞻前顾后；四、确定答案，人文复查。

Many people think that being healthy is a difficult task that involves lots of dieting and time at the gym. 1 By supporting your body and mind, making some simple changes to your routine, and setting small goals for yourself, you can be on the path toward living a healthier, happier life.
Drink more water. Adults should drink 2-3 liters of water per day, while children should drink 1—2 liters. 2 Water keeps your body at the correct temperature and removes poison and maintains homeostasis（体内平衡）. Water also clears your skin, helps to control your appetite, and keeps you energized.
3 Every time you get moving you put yourself at risk for injury, so make sure you’re doing it right! You should always be drinking water during your workouts. Take breaks! It isn't being lazy; it's being healthy. After 30 minutes or so of exercise, grab your water bottle and lighten up. Your body needs a second to catch up. You'll be able to go further in the long run.
Think positively. A simple positive change on a situation can turn an challenge into an opportunity. Not only will you have more interest for life, but your immune（免疫的） system can also fight off colds and heart disease better! 4 Think of two things you’re grateful for. Eventually, your mind will notice the pattern and stop the negativity before you have to do it.
Get a good night's rest. Getting too little sleep or poor-quality sleep not only makes you easier to get sick, but also increases the time you need to recover from illness. When you sleep well, you can wake up ready to go and be more active all day. 5
A．Exercise wisely.
B．But that’s actually not true!
C．To start this difficult step, focus on gratitude.
D．That is in addition to other drinks like tea or coffee.
E．So sleeping properly is very important for your health!
F．Soon, you'll start to see your healthy life taking shape!
G．So instead of walking quickly on Wednesday, go to hit the pool.

Social media is a double-edged sword. It can be good or bad, depending on how people use it. Here are several ways to help one use it responsibly.
6
Social media can be a big waste of time if you spend most of your day looking through what other people post, commenting on and liking things, or looking at every message on your device. Instead, you should learn to practice some self-control and limit your usage every day. 7 Afterward, set an amount of time for your social media use, such as 10 minutes every time.
Think twice before posting something.
Materials posted on social media are often more lasting than you think. And even if your post is deleted, words and images you upload on these platforms can remain online and be difficult to remove. 8 Therefore, before posting something online, consider if it would negatively affect others. If it is, then don’t post it. 9 This can destroy your reputation or others’.
Learn to check the truth of things that you see.
Some of the things you see on social media might not necessarily be true, especially when it comes to news and information. You may immediately believe what you see and read. The danger of this behavior is that you might be spreading misinformation if you share what you have seen before checking the truth of the post. 10 Check from other sources whether what you have seen and read is true. Ask opinions from other people.
A．Follow those that matter to you.
B．Don’t let social media eat all your time.
C．And you never know where they might end up.
D．What’s more, avoid posting unprofessional photos or bad comments.
E．Social media can have a powerful impact on a person’s emotional state.
F．Just make it a practice to research the accuracy of any information or image.
G．For example, try setting specific times per day when you check your social media accounts.

I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and I like to read blogs(博客)in other languages. 16 . Bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles(字幕)in the language you're learning. 17 ,they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening in your new language. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them. I can be hooked for hours. 18
However, the hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian, 19 Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting self-satisfied, it's time to take a new course or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
20 The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A．That's really uncomfortable.
B．Whatever languages they're translated into.
C．I also try to think in the language I'm learning.
D．It's time well spent if I'm learning the language.
E．Computer games always make me feel worn out.
F．Though they don't always exactly match what's being said,
G．I found them the perfect learning tool for their oral language.

Be a good listener. 24 Ask questions about their interests, and just take time to learn more about them.

How to be energetic all the time
Many people often lack energy and feel tired. If you are one of them, take the following suggestions to become an energetic person and make use of your full potential.
Manage your stress. If you are upset by emotions that result from stress, you will likely find that you have run out of energy. 26 To control your stress, consider talking things out with a close friend or perhaps consulting a psychiatrist.
Take a nap when it is possible. Although you might be busy every day, there is always some time to get a few minutes of shut-eye. 27 Don’t sleep too long, or you might experience difficulty in falling asleep normally that night, which will throw off your whole sleep schedule.
28 Foods that have too much sugar can lead to glucose fluctuations (血糖波动) which then cause energy levels to decrease. Many people suffer from low energy due to a lack of protein. For fast and effective energy change, you can eat a few handfuls of nuts.
Schedule your time in a practical, realistic manner. Being too busy can decrease your productivity and do harm to your mental health. So try to get one day of relaxation a week. 29
Exercise out. 30 Exercising out ensures sound sleep at night, and it helps oxygen to circulate, providing the cells with higher amounts of energy to burn. It also leaves you feeling refreshed and full of energy.
A．Eat less.
B．Sing alone or get up and dance.
C．Consider what you eat and drink.
D．Naps should be a maximum of 30 minutes.
E．In other words, emotions caused by stress eat up your energy.
F．This allows your body to get enough rest and gain energy for next week.
G．One highly effective way to become energetic is doing exercise regularly.
