【推荐1】Sometimes I am overcome with worry suddenly. I worry about my mom getting sick. I worry that I’m spending too much.     1     My friend Michelle told me she worries that whenever her husband is late, she thinks he’s been in an accident. My former boss told me she pretends she’s sick to avoid public speaking because she’s lost her breath on stage.

So, when worry and anxiety come into you, know that you’re not alone. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that 18 percent of Americans are affected by anxiety. That’s almost 1 in 5!     2    

In life, accidents do happen. Are these really threats? We may think it's safer when we’re anxious. But it’s just a false idea. Focusing on worst-case assumptions will not stop bad things happening.       3     We can find it difficult to continue making the most of good stuff that we have in the present.

    4     One simple step is to change the way you think. Most of the time, we worry about things that are very unlikely to go wrong. Our active minds can make common situations seem far worse than they actually are. Therefore, when getting anxious, we should take a moment to settle our thoughts and get into the right frame of mind.     5     How possible is it to happen really? Try to think about these questions for a second. Always be aware that feeling worried is different from anxiety disorders. If you're experiencing the latter, you should speak with a medical professional.

A．Just control what you can.

B．It’s more common than you think.

C．What is it that is making you worried?

D．I worry that I’ve hurt someone’s feelings.

E．Worry doesn’t make life any more predictable.

F．What can you do to deal with what concerns you?

G．It’ll only stop us from doing our work and living our lives.

【推荐3】Nowadays, for many people, buying a house or flat is just too expensive. However, the total amount of rent paid by tenants in 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.    1    

The pros? People rent a room and share the kitchen, living room and bathroom to save money.    2    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.    3    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 cons.    4    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 flatmate forgets to keep you informed of a party they’re throwing and it can be challenging for you to have a quiet night.

    5    Some people prefer their own space while other s 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．Also, living with others means that you can pool your resources.

【推荐1】Kosciuszko National Park is a large national park in the province of New South Wales in southeast Australia. It covers 1.7 million acres(英亩)of the Australian Alps mountain chain, including the highest peak(山峰)in Australia, for which the park is named.

The landform in Kosciuszko National Park is highly different and is grouped into three main parts. The southernmost part is mostly made up of unshaped and dry land and is passed through by the famous Snowy River. The central part is Alpine natural scenery(风景), much of it above the tree line, including the one and only landform features with plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. Many of the park’s ski areas are located in this part. The northern part is mostly a highland area.

While this park is open to visitors with new roads reaching out in all directions to many areas, a large part of the park is designated as wilderness, with six separate wilderness areas. Some animals are so valuable that they were thought to die out until recently rediscovered. The Australian Alps parks system has tried hard to balance protection of the lands, plants, and animals against human use, and a very successful management program has allowed people to enjoy the scenery while protecting them.

Kosciuszko National Park offers a lot of outdoor activities to visitors. Hiking, camping, and skiing are among the most popular, but the lakes and rivers offer chances for swimming, fishing, and boating in the Snowy and Murray Rivers as well as several smaller rivers. Historic sites like the gold rush ghost town of Kiandra offer understanding of the area’s history.

This area was home to the native Australian aboriginal(土著)people who lived in its lower part before. The higher mountain areas are too cold for humans to live in but were visited by these people during certain times of the year as part of spiritual activity.
