Nowadays, for many people, buying a house or flat is just too expensive. However, the total amount of rent paid by tenants Britain in 2017 rose to more than 50 billion-more than double the level of ten years prior. Consequently, a lot choose to share the flat. 36
The pros People rent a room and share the kitchen, living room and bathroom to save money. 37 You may not even need to ask; just leave an IOU. Additionally, there’s the fact that you gain access to their social networks. Living with people means meeting their friends, who may then become your friends. 38 Due to the nature of communal living, you’re not just dealing with your own life events. Most likely, there will, always be a shoulder to cry on when you need one. But don’t forget to pay back when they need it.
Now the con. 39 In most cases, the kitchen, for example, will be divided up into designated shelves and areas. Worse, many people may not respect these boundaries. You might well come home to find someone steal your milk or shower gel, and no one owns up to it. Furthermore, there are the unexpected guests. If a flat mate forgets to keep you informed of a party they’re throwing and it can be challenging for you to have a quiet night.
40 Some people prefer their own space while others thrive in a social environment. Regardless, for many who lack the means to buy their own property, a flat-sharing is, and will continue to be, a necessity.
A. Lastly there’s the emotional support.
B. Those flat-sharing can share the secrets.
C. To start with, do you lack private space
D. There’s limited storage space, for a start.
E. Whether the pros outweigh the cons depends.
F. Then what are the pros and cons of flat-sharing
G. living with others means that you can pool your resources.

Don’t Live in Others’ Expectations
Whether it is our family or friends, they want the best for us. They want us to go to the best school. 36
However, the problem with this kind of expectation is not practicable for most of us. Why do we feel the need to live in others’ expectations Fulfilling the need of others’ desire before yourself is neglecting your freedom of happiness and self-care. 37 Therefore, it is okay to live free of anyone’s expectations.
Expectations are attachments of ourselves to please others. One of the cruel truths about people with expectations is that they don’t really care how you feel. 38 It’s a give-and-take situation.
39 Sometimes, we lose our joy under pressure because expectations are not realistic and because they are an ideal of how you should be, not who you are. Expectations do not focus on reality but the sacrifice of your happiness.
It’s okay to be selfish for your happiness; in a way, expectations are the root of suffering. It will destroy your self-esteem and any confirmation of your worth. We can be free of it by living our lives according to our own will. 40
Give up the thoughts of pleasing others and live a free life. Be in control of it and let others accept who you are.
A. Take expectation as a form of attachment.
B. To be happy, you should let go of how you want to be perceived by others.
C. They see you trying for their sake of pleasure, but they don’t give anything back.
D. They also want us to have the best kind of careers, ultimately to succeed in the way they want.
E. Living in others’ expectations will never get you satisfaction because they never will be satisfied.
F. We can bend the reality of expectations and see it as a form of attachment.
G. Ignore unrealistic expectations.

If you look at a carpenter, they have a toolbox; a dentist, they have their drills. In our era and the type of work most of us are doing, we also have our tool. The tool we most need is centered around being able to give and receive feedback well. However, a recent Gallup survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is brain-friendly and useful to their work. Those numbers are pretty depressing. 36._______________
Ask micro-yes questions.
Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important. 37._______________. You can ask "I have some ideas for how we can improve things. Can I share them with you " This micro-yes question can serve as a pacing tool. It lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given.
Give data point.
38. ________________. Instead of saying, "You aren't reliable," you are supposed to say, "You said you'd get that email to me by 11 a.m, and I still don't have it yet 4 p.m ." The reason for that is that you want to be able to specify exactly what you want the other person to increase or diminish.
State the impact.
39.________________. For example, you might say, "Because I didn't get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn't move forward" or "I really liked how you added those stories, because it helped me grasp the concepts faster." It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points.
Wrap the feedback with a question.
Great feedback givers incline to ask something like, "Well, how do you see it " Or "This is what I'm thinking we should do, but what are your thoughts on it ". 40.________________________ . Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation. Now that you know this four-part approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.
A. Name exactly the difference data point makes to you.
B. Four methods can be employed to make your feedback brain-friendly.
C. It lets the brain know that feedback is actually coming.
D. Make the conversation no longer a monologue(独白).
E. There's a mistaken tendency that we use vague, or not specific words
F. Here comes a four-part approach that you can adopt to say any difficult message well.
G. It creates a moment of buy-in for the speaker.
答案:FCEAD
36.选 F。考查全文主旨。根据首段“The tool we most need is centered around being able to give and receive feedback well. (我们最需要的工具,在于如何给予和接受回馈意见。) ”以及最后一段“Now that you know this four-part approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.(在认识了这个方法后,你可以任意搭配运用来应付任何棘手的对话。)”故 F 选项“这 里有一个含四部分的方法,你可以采纳来表达任何觉得棘手信息。”符合语境。
37.选 C。考查句际顺承并列关系。根据本段小标题“Ask micro-yes questions. ”(问微同意问题)” 和下文“ It lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given.(它让其他人知道反馈即将得 到。) ”。可知 C 选项“这让大脑知道自己即将要接收到回馈的讯息。”符合语境。
38. 选 E。考查句际转折关系。根据后文的举例建议不要使用模糊语“不靠谱”,而是具体说出不靠 谱的做法,以及本段最后一句作者提出“specify exactly what you want the other person to increase or diminish.(具体指定您希望其他人增加或减少的内容)”,可知 E 选项“There's a mistaken tendency that we use vague, or not specific words. (有一种错误的倾向,我们使用模糊的,或没有具体的词。)”符合 语境。
39.选 A。考查句际总分关系。根据小标题“State the impact. (陈述影响)”以及随后的例证中“Because I didn't get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn't move forward (因为我没有收到这个信 息,所以我的工作被屏蔽了,无法继续前进。)”可知本题选 A “准确地说出确切点对您造成的影响。” 既能诠释标题也能概括本段大意,符合语境。
40.选 D 考查句际转折关系。后文“Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation.(相反,试着 让它成为一个共同解决问题的局势)”表明选项 D“Make the conversation no longer a monologue.(让对 话不是一个独白)”是作者反对的情境,符合语境,故选 D。

What do you do if you're not already curious __38__ If you act like you're curious, you'll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic the more interesting it becomes.

浙江省新阵地教育联盟 2024 届第二次联考
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. __36__ Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.
The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. __37__ Thus, the novelisation was a great solution.
Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. __38__ In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.
But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. __39__ Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices.
Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. __40__
A. But what about book adaptations of films
B. Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too.
C. For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers.
D. Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly.
E. But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape.
F. Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.
G. Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary.

The summer heat and humidity can make even the most dedicated outdoor runner feel unmotivated. For those who want an alternative to running on the roads without losing their fitness, deep water running, or aqua jogging, could be a useful cross-training exercise. Many runners turn to deep water running as the last resort when they are injured because aqua jogging is not weight-bearing. __36__
To get into this exercise, you will need access to a pool that is deep enough so that your feet don’t touch the ground. The depth of the water should be at least five inches less than your height. __37__ There are different kinds available to purchase or rent online and at swimming pools. Wear one that feels comfortable.
The best way to aqua jog is to imitate running on land. The movement of your arms and legs should look similar to land-based running. Everything except your head and the top part of your shoulders should be underwater. __38__ But practice a running motion once you feel more confident in your balance and core control.
__39__ Runners should treat the first three sessions as a learning experience rather than a hard workout. Workouts can be continuous, easy running or a combination of short bursts at a comfortably hard pace followed by brief periods at an easier active recovery pace. The sessions can be as short as 20 minutes.
As helpful as it is, aqua jogging is not meant to replace all of your regular running. Your heart rate will be slightly lower while aqua jogging for the same level of exercise on land. __40__
Work your legs up as you would in a run.
Getting used to running in the pool takes time.
A cycling action of the legs is easier to start with.
Professional instructions are essential for beginners.
So increase your speed if you want to increase intensity.
It provides tremendous benefits to healthy individuals, too.
A floatation belt around your waist will help your running techniques.

Go on a 15-minute Tour
Didn't someone say that life is about the journey, not the destination __36__ When you are focused only on getting to the next meeting, starting your next class period, or hurrying to send an email, you're missing all of the people between Points A and B.
To commit some time to the journey, take some time to walk around where you work and notice your surroundings. __ 37__ Also, some of the smaller yet critical social clues that exist right under your nose will be concentrated on again.
__ 38__Things to look for include the look and feel of people's workspaces, the timing of when different people move around the office, and which people seek interaction versus those who stay at their desks all day.
After your first observation tour, select a different day to tour your workspace for moods. Other people’s moods can provide you with critical clues about how things are going. __39__ Focus on what you see, hear, and pick up on in other people.

Napping(小睡) at midday keeps afternoon sleepiness away. __ 36__ Shortly after lunch, silence fills the whole office building, for the employees are now taking a nap break. An unspoken agreement is shared that each deserves a personal napping space without disturbance.
__37__Liu Zongyuan, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once impressed us by a vivid description of a joyful and leisurely nap time. Napping at noon might date from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the story "San Gu Mao Lu", Zhuge Kongming was in a sound nap when Liu Bei came visiting him for the third time.
Some researchers interpret the Chinese napping habit in the light of eating habits. Chinese people in the north eat wheaten food primarily and those in the south rely on rice. Biology tells us that wheaten food and rice contain a lot of glucose(葡萄糖). Normally we Chinese get on a full stomach after lunch, so the glucose-rich Chinese diet raises the level of blood glucose. __38__
These explanations are seemingly reasonable, __39__ Even days of conversation to Western diet, instead of wheaten food or rice, cannot ease my post-lunch laziness, hence a nap at a quiet place is desperate.
Noon nap occurs everywhere: customers napping on a sofa or Simmons, park-goers on a bench or on the lawn, are frequently noticed on newspapers and the Internet. __40__Those who nap in public places embarrass passers-by, which is not socially tolerable. On the contrary, a self-disciplined person preferring to nap in a private space is regarded as a napper with decency.
A. It leads to sleepiness.
B. They, however, do not work on me.
C. It casts its spell on summer days particularly.
D. Noon-time napping is a kind of self-protection.
E. Napping is also a cultural behavior with a long history.
F. Be that as it may, your napping places make a difference.
G. Otherwise, only a lie-in in the morning could help me get enough energy for the whole afternoon.

Extraordinary people are just that rare. Recognizing this doesn’t mean you’re giving up on your potential, and instead, it means you’re bursting your bubble about what it means to be your whole self and live your best life. __36__ Actually, it’s not. The real question is what work are you willing to do even if nobody claps. What will be worthwhile if it goes unacknowledged How will you feel loved by a few people if you aren’t recognized by many __37__ Therefore, here are some “blind points” for you to know yourself and find real extraordinary.
__38__ If you don’t acknowledge the significance of the poor choices you’ve made, you’re bound to justify doing them again; if you live and act as though you can slide by because you’re ever so slightly better than everyone else, you’ll never actually try.
You can overcome your pain. You cannot think your way out of pain. You cannot predict it, or avoid it, or pretend you don’t feel it. Doing so is living a fraction(小部分) of the life you were meant to. __39__
Anxiety and negative thinking are annoying things you just have to learn to avoid. Anxiety is one of the main driving forces that has kept you as well as our entire species alive. __40__The power of negative thinking is that it shows us what matters and how we need to respond to our lives.
A. These seemingly bitter feelings are actually bittersweet.
B. It will make you a part of the person you’re supposed to be.
C. Finding the exceptional in the ordinary is the real extraordinary.
D. Many believe giving up one’s potential is a suffering experience.
E. Struggling with too much of it usually means you don't listen to it.
F. Your faults are more forgivable, and your qualities are more exceptional.
G. We show off the rare success stories as if it's the natural end goal of realizing yourself.

What your dinner photos on Instagram say about you
Posting pictures on Instagram is a modern day version of writing a journal. It’s all about creating a connection between ourselves, our lives, friends, family and the wider public. __36__ Each day, at least 95 million posts are shared on Instagram.
__37__ Some people will post photos of their pets, their holidays or their social life—but in recent years, posting photos of the food that we eat conveys to the viewer something about the person posting, their personality and pathology.
If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they've made a really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences. __38__
There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant. __39___ These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群), like celebrities—to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of boosting their own self-esteem.
If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better,they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they've been eating. It's a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible,while subconsciously saying, “__40__” Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider audience.
A. There are some reasons to post photos online.
B. I’m the sort of person who takes care of myself.
C. I am willing to take risks in my diet.
D. It's the same idea as wanting to feel part of a community.
E. The types of content we choose to post hold significance.
F. It generally implies an attempt to associate with luxury and taste.
G. We have a fundamental need to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Soothe the Sunday Scaries
As the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on Sunday Funday and anxious about the upcoming week. Experts have nicknamed this worry the “Sunday scaries”. ___36___. Here’s how you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
When structuring your Sunday, try not to arrange too many errands and chores. If you’re feeling more stress, it’s important to make space for some activities to relax yourself. And there’s no right way to do so—maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show. ___ 37___.
Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to identify your personal triggers. ___38___ Is it a deadline, meeting, or presentation Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress you expect from the week ahead into small pieces can help it.
Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead, either. Having something to look forward to gives you something pleasing to think about, rather than only focusing on the anxiety you feel. ___39___ Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a lunch date with a friend.
Make Sunday nights about doing something for yourself to reduce your anxiety about Monday. Plan some favorite foods to enjoy or go all in for some self-care. ___40___ Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you—leave the work emails for Monday morning.
It’s a form of shifting your thoughts.
This is an opportunity to give yourself a refreshing time.
Try to figure out what’s really causing you to fear the week.
It doesn’t mean you have to shift your thoughts to something fun.
But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable.
It can be whatever feels like a helpful distraction to relieve from the stress.
Instead of sitting on the sofa and watching the clock, do something that you enjoy.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Once upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. We started asking our parents numerous questions as kids. By preschool, our inquires even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night Why doesn’t hat man have a home like we do Why do rocks sink but ice floats ___36___
Why does the child’s urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them. ___37___ And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers.
___38___ We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. In that encouragement, we help create an environment where those around us feel safe to ask questions.
When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal. ___39___ Finally, we could set aside time to ask absurd questions like “How would you accomplish a week’s work in two hours ” This type of questions forces us to break the boundaries of our comfort zone.
In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions. ___40___ Great questions can open up our capacity to change because they allow us to draw people in, opening them up to sharing knowledge, ideas, and opinions. And they are also our primary means of learning about the world. In short, asking questions is the best way to deepen our understanding of the things that matter to our life. As any child could probably tell us if we asked.
Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear.
It is a high-payoff behavior especially in times of change,
The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations.
But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt.
As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere.
We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don’t.
It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment.

Humanities departments (人文院系) in America are once again being cut down. Earlier this month, the State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook announced a plan to abandon several of the college’s well-known departments for lack of fund. The University of Pittsburgh has cut its German and classics. ___36___. In the UK, Middlesex University decided to gradually get rid of philosophy department. In June 2015, the Japanese minister of education sent a letter to the presidents of the national universities of Japan, suggesting they close their graduate and undergraduate departments in the humanities and social sciences and focus on something more practical.
These are hard times. Instead of Shakespeare or French, there will be (perhaps there already are) college classes in how to cut corporate spending. ___37___ But the only opportunity has been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages, the classics, literature, philosophy, music, theater and art in the university.

I don’t believe that the humanities can make you a decent person. ___39___. Studying philosophy teaches us about those who have gone before us.

Why do we feel the need to live in others’ expectations Fulfilling the need of others’ desire before yourself is neglecting your freedom of happiness and self-care. 37 Therefore, it is okay to live free of anyone’s expectations.
Expectations are attachments of ourselves to please others. One of the cruel truths about people with expectations is that they don’t really care how you feel. 38 It’s a give-and-take situation.
39 Sometimes, we lose our joy under pressure because expectations are not realistic and because they are an ideal of how you should be, not who you are. Expectations do not focus on reality but the sacrifice of your happiness.
It’s okay to be selfish for your happiness; in a way, expectations are the root of suffering. It will destroy your self-esteem and any confirmation of your worth. We can be free of it by living our lives according to our own will. 40
Give up the thoughts of pleasing others and live a free life. Be in control of it and let others accept who you are.
A. Take expectation as a form of attachment.
B. To be happy, you should let go of how you want to be perceived by others.
C. They see you trying for their sake of pleasure, but they don’t give anything back.
D. They also want us to have the best kind of careers, ultimately to succeed in the way they want.

F. We can bend the reality of expectations and see it as a form of attachment.

If you look at a carpenter, they have a toolbox; a dentist, they have their drills. In our era and the type of work most of us are doing, we also have our tool. The tool we most need is centered around being able to give and receive feedback well. However, a recent Gallup survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is brain-friendly and useful to their work. Those numbers are pretty depressing. 36._______________
Ask micro-yes questions.
Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important. 37._______________. You can ask "I have some ideas for how we can improve things. Can I share them with you " This micro-yes question can serve as a pacing tool. It lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given.
Give data point.
38. ________________. Instead of saying, "You aren't reliable," you are supposed to say, "You said you'd get that email to me by 11 a.m, and I still don't have it yet 4 p.m ." The reason for that is that you want to be able to specify exactly what you want the other person to increase or diminish.
State the impact.
39.________________. For example, you might say, "Because I didn't get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn't move forward" or "I really liked how you added those stories, because it helped me grasp the concepts faster." It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points.
Wrap the feedback with a question.
Great feedback givers incline to ask something like, "Well, how do you see it " Or "This is what I'm thinking we should do, but what are your thoughts on it ". 40.________________________ . Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation. Now that you know this four-part approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.
A. Name exactly the difference data point makes to you.
B. Four methods can be employed to make your feedback brain-friendly.
C. It lets the brain know that feedback is actually coming.

Curiosity is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers to tons of questions. Books and TV shows often rely on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens. __36__
Many of history's greatest discoveries were made by curious people. People wondered how processes worked or how certain tasks could be done more effectively. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them.
Even if you don't plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, class will be more fun. __37__ Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you better informed and thus a more capable worker.
What do you do if you're not already curious __38__ If you act like you're curious, you'll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic the more interesting it becomes.
As you learn about a topic, gather information from as many sources as possible. Read a variety of books, watch or listen to lectures and ask questions. __39__ Instead, learn to appreciate facts that different people know and the different opinions that they express.
Don't assume you already know what you need to know. Instead, search for alternate possibilities and points of view.
__40__ Remember, everyone knows something that you don't. Find out what that is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by letting them show off their knowledge. In the classroom or out of it, developing curiosity is sure to be worthwhile.

Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. __36__ Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.
The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. __37__ Thus, the novelisation was a great solution.
Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. __38__ In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.
But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. __39__ Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices.
Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. __40__
A. But what about book adaptations of films
B. Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too.
C. For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers.
D. Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly.
E. But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape.
F. Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.
G. Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary.

The summer heat and humidity can make even the most dedicated outdoor runner feel unmotivated. For those who want an alternative to running on the roads without losing their fitness, deep water running, or aqua jogging, could be a useful cross-training exercise. Many runners turn to deep water running as the last resort when they are injured because aqua jogging is not weight-bearing. __36__
To get into this exercise, you will need access to a pool that is deep enough so that your feet don’t touch the ground. The depth of the water should be at least five inches less than your height. __37__ There are different kinds available to purchase or rent online and at swimming pools. Wear one that feels comfortable.
The best way to aqua jog is to imitate running on land. The movement of your arms and legs should look similar to land-based running. Everything except your head and the top part of your shoulders should be underwater. __38__ But practice a running motion once you feel more confident in your balance and core control.
__39__ Runners should treat the first three sessions as a learning experience rather than a hard workout. Workouts can be continuous, easy running or a combination of short bursts at a comfortably hard pace followed by brief periods at an easier active recovery pace. The sessions can be as short as 20 minutes.
As helpful as it is, aqua jogging is not meant to replace all of your regular running. Your heart rate will be slightly lower while aqua jogging for the same level of exercise on land. __40__
Work your legs up as you would in a run.
Getting used to running in the pool takes time.
A cycling action of the legs is easier to start with.
Professional instructions are essential for beginners.
So increase your speed if you want to increase intensity.
It provides tremendous benefits to healthy individuals, too.
A floatation belt around your waist will help your running techniques.

Didn't someone say that life is about the journey, not the destination __36__ When you are focused only on getting to the next meeting, starting your next class period, or hurrying to send an email, you're missing all of the people between Points A and B.

__ 38__Things to look for include the look and feel of people's workspaces, the timing of when different people move around the office, and which people seek interaction versus those who stay at their desks all day.
After your first observation tour, select a different day to tour your workspace for moods. Other people’s moods can provide you with critical clues about how things are going. __39__ Focus on what you see, hear, and pick up on in other people.

Napping(小睡) at midday keeps afternoon sleepiness away. __ 36__ Shortly after lunch, silence fills the whole office building, for the employees are now taking a nap break. An unspoken agreement is shared that each deserves a personal napping space without disturbance.
__37__Liu Zongyuan, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once impressed us by a vivid description of a joyful and leisurely nap time. Napping at noon might date from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the story "San Gu Mao Lu", Zhuge Kongming was in a sound nap when Liu Bei came visiting him for the third time.
Some researchers interpret the Chinese napping habit in the light of eating habits. Chinese people in the north eat wheaten food primarily and those in the south rely on rice. Biology tells us that wheaten food and rice contain a lot of glucose(葡萄糖). Normally we Chinese get on a full stomach after lunch, so the glucose-rich Chinese diet raises the level of blood glucose. __38__
These explanations are seemingly reasonable, __39__ Even days of conversation to Western diet, instead of wheaten food or rice, cannot ease my post-lunch laziness, hence a nap at a quiet place is desperate.
Noon nap occurs everywhere: customers napping on a sofa or Simmons, park-goers on a bench or on the lawn, are frequently noticed on newspapers and the Internet. __40__Those who nap in public places embarrass passers-by, which is not socially tolerable. On the contrary, a self-disciplined person preferring to nap in a private space is regarded as a napper with decency.
A. It leads to sleepiness.
B. They, however, do not work on me.
C. It casts its spell on summer days particularly.
D. Noon-time napping is a kind of self-protection.
E. Napping is also a cultural behavior with a long history.
F. Be that as it may, your napping places make a difference.
G. Otherwise, only a lie-in in the morning could help me get enough energy for the whole afternoon.

Extraordinary people are just that rare. Recognizing this doesn’t mean you’re giving up on your potential, and instead, it means you’re bursting your bubble about what it means to be your whole self and live your best life. __36__ Actually, it’s not. The real question is what work are you willing to do even if nobody claps. What will be worthwhile if it goes unacknowledged How will you feel loved by a few people if you aren’t recognized by many __37__ Therefore, here are some “blind points” for you to know yourself and find real extraordinary.
__38__ If you don’t acknowledge the significance of the poor choices you’ve made, you’re bound to justify doing them again; if you live and act as though you can slide by because you’re ever so slightly better than everyone else, you’ll never actually try.
You can overcome your pain. You cannot think your way out of pain. You cannot predict it, or avoid it, or pretend you don’t feel it. Doing so is living a fraction(小部分) of the life you were meant to. __39__
Anxiety and negative thinking are annoying things you just have to learn to avoid. Anxiety is one of the main driving forces that has kept you as well as our entire species alive. __40__The power of negative thinking is that it shows us what matters and how we need to respond to our lives.
A. These seemingly bitter feelings are actually bittersweet.
B. It will make you a part of the person you’re supposed to be.

What your dinner photos on Instagram say about you
Posting pictures on Instagram is a modern day version of writing a journal. It’s all about creating a connection between ourselves, our lives, friends, family and the wider public. __36__ Each day, at least 95 million posts are shared on Instagram.
__37__ Some people will post photos of their pets, their holidays or their social life—but in recent years, posting photos of the food that we eat conveys to the viewer something about the person posting, their personality and pathology.
If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they've made a really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences. __38__
There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant. __39___ These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群), like celebrities—to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of boosting their own self-esteem.
If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better,they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they've been eating. It's a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible,while subconsciously saying, “__40__” Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider audience.
A. There are some reasons to post photos online.
B. I’m the sort of person who takes care of myself.
C. I am willing to take risks in my diet.
D. It's the same idea as wanting to feel part of a community.
E. The types of content we choose to post hold significance.
F. It generally implies an attempt to associate with luxury and taste.
G. We have a fundamental need to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Soothe the Sunday Scaries
As the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on Sunday Funday and anxious about the upcoming week. Experts have nicknamed this worry the “Sunday scaries”. ___36___. Here’s how you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
When structuring your Sunday, try not to arrange too many errands and chores. If you’re feeling more stress, it’s important to make space for some activities to relax yourself. And there’s no right way to do so—maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show. ___ 37___.
Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to identify your personal triggers. ___38___ Is it a deadline, meeting, or presentation Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress you expect from the week ahead into small pieces can help it.
Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead, either. Having something to look forward to gives you something pleasing to think about, rather than only focusing on the anxiety you feel. ___39___ Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a lunch date with a friend.
Make Sunday nights about doing something for yourself to reduce your anxiety about Monday. Plan some favorite foods to enjoy or go all in for some self-care. ___40___ Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you—leave the work emails for Monday morning.
It’s a form of shifting your thoughts.
This is an opportunity to give yourself a refreshing time.
Try to figure out what’s really causing you to fear the week.
It doesn’t mean you have to shift your thoughts to something fun.
But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable.
It can be whatever feels like a helpful distraction to relieve from the stress.
Instead of sitting on the sofa and watching the clock, do something that you enjoy.

Once upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. We started asking our parents numerous questions as kids. By preschool, our inquires even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night Why doesn’t hat man have a home like we do Why do rocks sink but ice floats ___36___
Why does the child’s urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them. ___37___ And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers.
___38___ We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. In that encouragement, we help create an environment where those around us feel safe to ask questions.
When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal. ___39___ Finally, we could set aside time to ask absurd questions like “How would you accomplish a week’s work in two hours ” This type of questions forces us to break the boundaries of our comfort zone.
In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions. ___40___ Great questions can open up our capacity to change because they allow us to draw people in, opening them up to sharing knowledge, ideas, and opinions. And they are also our primary means of learning about the world. In short, asking questions is the best way to deepen our understanding of the things that matter to our life. As any child could probably tell us if we asked.
Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear.
It is a high-payoff behavior especially in times of change,
The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations.
But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt.
As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere.
We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don’t.
It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment.
