【推荐1】Using Social Media and Email Safely

The Internet is a huge part of many people's everyday lives.    1    , no matter how safe you feel while browsing(浏览). By getting into the habit of using good Internet safety practices, you can protect your information and your identity for years to come.

    2    . Keeping your social media profiles(个人档案)private can make it harder for strangers to contact you online or get a hold of your information. Choose an option that makes your profile visible to only you or your friends.

Never give personal information to someone you met online.    3    . No matter how well you may think you know someone you met online, you can never really be sure of who they are and whether they might be dangerous.

Use caution when meeting in-person with someone you met online. It's best not to meet people in-person who you've only talked to online, but some situations might require it-if you sold something on Craigslist, for example, or are using an online dating site.    4    .

Don't open emails or files from people you don't know. Phishing scammers(网络钓鱼骗子)are people who use fake emails or messages to make you share personal information. If you see an email from an unfamiliar address, or from an address you know but with a doubtful message, move it to your spam folder(垃圾邮件夹).    5    , but never click on them until you can verify(证实)that it's a legal message.

A．Make your profiles private

B．Avoid making your profiles invisible to all

C．The email could also include links that might look legal

D．It's fun, useful, and informative, but can also be dangerous

E．It attracts people's attention, but it's also unsafe to search for

F．This might seem obvious, but it's still important to remember

G．In these cases, meet in a public place and bring a friend with you

【推荐2】Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted? Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt. Knowing how to apologise can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.

We argue for all kinds of reasons. You might think your football team is fantastic but your friend disagrees; or maybe your sister is being really annoying. Sometimes, especially if you’re angry, things can spiral out of control and you’ll say or do something you regret. Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. This is where an apology can help.

We all make mistakes, and apologising is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. Dr. Jennifer Thomas, a psychologist and author, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we’re genuinely (真诚地) sorry, we accept responsibility for our actions and we want their forgiveness.

Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it’s not your fault. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.

Sorry on its own might not always be enough, so try to ask the other person how they felt while you were arguing. Explain your side too, and make it clear you’ll try not to repeat the same mistake again. A genuine apology isn’t a magic wand (魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive. Even after you’ve said sorry, you could still feel bad but you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.

【推荐1】On Us TV shows, you may sometimes see rubber balls on people’s desks. These balls are known as “stress relief balls”. People can squeeze them when they feel stressed out. It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing, they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.

    1    Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it.

In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China.     2     By squeezing them during moments of anxiety, soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), people started rolling walnuts in their hands. Ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts, or balls made from iron or stone, around in their hands.     3    

And today, we have many gadgets (小器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls. One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺).     4     You just spin the gadget around. There’s also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different parts of the cube.

    5     But perhaps we should take them more seriously. “After all, the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping,” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.

A．This helped them relax as well.

B．These gadgets may look like simple toys.

C．It keeps your hand busy with an easy task.

D．This is the only way to ease away your tension.

E．Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people.

F．A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day.

G．Back in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), soldiers used walnuts to get rid of stress.
