Struggling to find a little “me time”? You’re far     1     alone, because the average American only gets five hours of “me time” in a week.

        Besides not having enough “me time,” the average person only gets into their headspace (内心世界) 3.5 days a week, so     2     is no surprise that one in four wouldn’t describe    3     (they) as “relaxed.”
          Frequent stressors (紧张性刺激) can quickly turn a day    4     (pleasant). In a survey of 2000 Americans, three in four people admitted that if they don’t have time    5     (get) in a good headspace with some “me time ,” it negatively affects their feelings. In    6     (add), almost three out of four wish they spent more time outside in order to relax.

National Geographic magazine recently published an article with the title “For decades, our coverage was racist. To rise above our past, we    1     acknowledge it.” It was written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg, the first woman and first Jewish person     2    (hold) the position. National Geographic has acknowledged that its coverage of black and minority ethnic people in America and the wider world had been historically racist, frequently promoting caricatures (讽刺画) of the “noble savage (野蛮人)” and barely     3     (feature) the US’s minority ethnic population.

According to Goldberg, the 130-year-old publication’s April issue “explores how race defines, separates, and unites us”. In honor of 50 years since the killing of Martin Luther King,    4     is known for fighting racial inequality in the US, the issue is devoted to race.

The population republished a number of examples of historical racism in its coverage. One 1916 article about Australia included a photo of two Indigenous Australians with the caption: “South Australian Blackfellows: These savages rank     5     (low) in intelligence of all human beings.”

To review its previous coverage of race, Goldberg asked University of Virginia John Edwin Mason to look back at the magazine’s text, choice of subjects, and photograph of people of color from the US and abroad. “Until the 1970s, National Geographic all but ignored people of color who lived in the United States, rarely acknowledging    6     beyond laborers or domestic workers,” Goldberg wrote about Mason’s findings. “Meanwhile, it pictured ‘natives’ elsewhere     7     exotics, famously and frequently unclothed, happy hunters, noble savages.”

Mason also found that the magazine often ran photos of “uncivilized” natives    8     (amaze) by “civilized” Western technology.

In recent years, however, the magazine has improved. For example, in a 2015 project, National Geographic gave cameras to young people in the Caribbean country of Haiti and asked them to shoot pictures of their everyday lives.

“The coverage wasn’t right before     9     it was told from a white American point of view, and I think it speaks to exactly     10     we needed a diversity of storytellers,” Goldberg told the Associated Press.
