【推荐2】The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources “for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations". Want to help them achieve their mission? Here’s how:

Donate: The national parks are always short on finds (资金). You can donate items to the park bookstore, support a particular program at your favorite national park, or send funds to the National Park Foundation.

Volunteer: If you can’t donate money, consider donating your time. National park service volunteers help build paths, answer visitors’ questions and maintain (维修) buildings. Check out its site to find out more ways you can volunteer in your favorite national park.

Share scientific skills: If you have a background in science, the NPS might be able to use your skills at one of its Research Learning Centers. From collecting and analyzing samples to maintaining equipment and databases, there’s plenty to do to help preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources of our national parks.

Create art: Many national parks have artist-in-residence programs that give artists an opportunity to close to their favorite inspirational settings. You can stay at a remote cabin in Denali National Park or get an in-depth look at the history at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. The art you create can help inspire future generations to work for the national parks.

Go visit: There’s no better way to show your favorite national park some love than going there to see it. Bring a friend and take in some history and culture. It will remind you why our national parks are really “America’s Best Idea”. Oh, while you’re there, be sure to thank the park workers for all they do to support our national parks.

I’m a freelancer (自由职业). If I don’t work, I don’t get paid. Therefore, it’s fair to say that Facebook was influencing my work life and my pay. My working day used to go a little something like this: coffee, check emails, start writing, check Facebook, answer the phone, check Facebook, continue writing, check Facebook…You get the picture. Each work-related task was balanced out by social media, which made it difficult for me to focus on what I was doing.

Now that my Facebook does not work, I no longer have the chance to check it. I get much more work done and have time to reply to more emails and talk to possible clients (客户). However, the urge to log back on (重新登录) comes over me a few times per day, which makes me frightened. It could be a sign that I couldn’t live without social media.

Right now, I don’t know what the people I know are doing and, you know what, I couldn’t care less. I’m getting on with my own thing and so are they. Isn’t that how life was like before social media anyway?

【推荐2】In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

【推荐3】The FDA has begun testing frozen berries for hepatitis A (甲肝) and norovirus (诺如病毒). The research, which started in November and is expected to last for 18 months, was prompted by four frozen-berry-related outbreaks in the U. S. between 1997 and 2018. The three hepatitis A outbreaks in the U. S. caused 405 people to get sick and 53 were in hospital, while the one norovirus outbreak made 136 people ill, according to the FDA.

The concern is that people don’t always cook the frozen berries before using them. Cooking would reduce or remove the pollution. Experts say the hepatitis A and norovirus could come from ill farm workers or polluted water or surfaces, like a harvesting basket. However, the FDA has given no specific guidance about how to prepare frozen berries meanwhile.

Frozen-berry virus outbreaks have been a bigger problem in Europe than in the U. S. , but this country needs to take action, too, according to DonSchaffner, a professor of food science at Rutgers University. His lab's recent research found that viruses can survive for two years frozen.

“Just because there have not been outbreaks, you should still keep a close eye on it,” he said, “Washing is not going to be 100% effective. What you really need is good agricultural practices on farms to make sure sick workers are not working on farms and highquality water is used.”
