How to Survive Your Weekends Alone Without Losing It

There can be many, many stories behind weekends spent alone. In the 4 years that I’ve been living on my own now, I’ve managed to spend 208 weekends alone.     1     . Here’s an honest and practical guide so that you, too, can deal with your weekends, alone.

Go to a free concert

Coffee shops, libraries and local venues often host free concerts, so see if there is anything going on in your area this weekend. You can really listen to the music, rather than worrying about where your friends are.

Visit a bookstore

If you live near a library or bookstore with seating, take a trip there for a fun day alone.     2     . This is the perfect weekend plan if you are a little low on money.

Take a shopping trip alone

Ease down your shopping stress.     3     , and you can end up missing out on the best clothes. Take a leisurely trip alone and take your time trying everything on: you are likely to have a great day and find something you love.

    4    

The best part about watching television alone is that you can watch whatever you want. As a couch potato, you put on your cozy clothes and get some snacks, no matter how shameful and embarrassing it is.

Go on a long walk or a hike

Going for a long walk and experiencing nature is often more enjoyable if you are alone, as it is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. You can stop to appreciate every beautiful flower you pass and you can take a break whenever you want.     5     .

A.Order your favorite snacks
B.Marathon a TV show you love
C.It’s a mind-blowing success, indeed
D.You can also hear the quiet, busy sounds of nature
E.Pick up several bargains to satisfy your love for food
F.Some people can slow you down or press you to hurry up
G.Pick up a book and travel to a different world in your mind

【推荐1】Playing basketball requires natural skill.     1     if you properly condition your body, practice with the right drills, and master the mental aspects of the game. Good basketball players put in the effort and training that it takes to get better on the court, and they have the personality characteristics that coaches appreciate.

    2     Some experts believe the ability to handle the ball well is the most important skill in the game. You shouldn't have to think too hard about dribbling the ball if you practice a lot. A good way to improve this skill is through dribbling drills.

Master your passing ability. Passing is a skill that basketball players must master.     3     One is a chest pass in which you throw the ball to your teammate without it bouncing. The second is a bounce pass, in which you bounce the ball once when throwing it to your teammate. This is the hardest pass for a defender to stop.

Better your shooting. The shooters get a lot of the glory, and they are obviously critical to the game. But you don't want to be in a situation where people are blocking your shots or you miss a lot of them.     4    

Condition your body. Speed, quickness, verticality, strength, and stamina can turn any skill deadly just by simply giving you the advantage over an opponent physically.     5     They are designed for basketball offensive players to condition their body, not just exercises like you might do for fun. Coaches look for players who want to work hard to achieve good conditioning, like who has an explosive first step or who can jump 2 feet in the air.

A.That will land you on the bench.
B.Improve your ball handling skills.
C.There are two basic ways to pass.
D.But you can have enjoyment from it.
E.They are far from adequate for a win.
F.You need to perform enough practice drills.
G.But you can become a good basketball player.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了减少食物浪费的方法。

【推荐2】Up to 40% of the food produced never makes it to our mouths. Food waste is a huge problem.     1     Here are ways to reduce food waste.

·    2     Many of us blindly throw things that look novel into the shopping baskets and then let them sit in the fridge until they go bad. So, before shopping, think about exactly what you need for the week, make a detailed shopping list to prevent overbuying and stick to it.

·Get creative with repurposing food. Before walking straight to the bin with your old carrots, ask yourself: Can I make this into something new?     3     You needn’t follow any complicated recipes to turn older produce into a fresh new dish. Just use your head to make the best of it. For example, roast the carrots as a side dish or cut them for a salad.

·Your freezer is your friend. If you’re unable to use food before it’s too late, turn to the trusty freezer. Freezing food helps lock in its flavor and nutrients. So next time you taste perfect strawberries for your summer picnic, don’t throw the other leftovers immediately.     4    

·Don’t be fooled by that “sell by” date. Typically, these labels are a best guess by businesses as to when their products will be finest. They’re not hard-and-fast rules about when that cheese has to go straight to the bin. They’re about quality, not about food safety. Next time you do a sweep of your storeroom, remember that.     5     If it doesn’t pass, turn to the bin.

A.Make a plan ahead of time.
B.The answer is probably yes.
C.Add up what you let go to waste.
D.The good news is that each of us can help solve it.
E.When you’re in doubt, do a smell test to check its quality.
F.They may end up in landfills and produce greenhouse gases.
G.Instead, bag and put them in the freezer in case you want them.
