【推荐1】Do you long to escape to the great outdoors and experience the thrill of nature’s beauty? If so, then tent camping is the perfect adventure for you! One of the most important “dos” when planning a tent camping trip is to choose the right campsite.     1    . So it’s essential to consider several factors before making a decision.

Location

Consider the location of the campsite. Think about how far you’re willing to travel, whether you prefer a camp in the wilderness, near a lake or river, or other recreational activities.

Facilities

    2    . Some campsites offer electricity, laundry facilities or Wi-Fi. Assess your comfort needs and choose a suitable campsite for you.

Campsite Size and Privacy

If you prefer a quiet and private experience, look for campsites with greater distance or natural barriers between locations. If you are sociable, campsites with group camping options may be suitable.     3    .

Natural Surroundings

Take into account the natural surroundings of the campsite. Are you seeking breathtaking mountain views, peaceful forests, or unique lakeside landscapes? Consider the campsite’s aesthetic (审美的) appeal and natural beauty to enhance your camping experience.

    4    

Evaluate the convenience of reaching the campsite. Consider the road conditions, distance from parking areas to campsites, and any required permits or passes. If you have limited mobility or are camping with young children, you may prefer a campsite that is easily accessible and doesn’t require extensive hiking.

Reviews and Recommendations

Seek out reviews and recommendations from other campers who have experienced the campsite.     5    . Pay attention to cleanliness, noise levels, and overall camper satisfaction.

A．Availability and Alternatives

B．Accessibility and Ease of Arrival

C．You can also write your own review after the camp

D．In this way you can enjoy a more social atmosphere

G．The campsite you select can significantly impact your overall experience

【推荐2】It is never easy to cope with bullying, and doing nothing in return will only result in more intense bullying.     1     But keep in mind that there is only one goal — to stop the situation from worsening.

Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you.     2     Sometimes, all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.

Asking the bully to stop is sometimes a good way to deal with them. Bullies tend to assume that we will never speak up to them. When we do speak up for ourselves, it takes them by surprise.     3     It can make them reconsider their actions.

    4     When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you. They think of it as a game. When they get an emotional response from you, it satisfies their ego. But if they get nothing, they will stop bothering you because they know you are not an easy one to crack.

Plus, some of us are born comedians, who can turn almost anything into a joke. If you are one of these people, try to take advantage of your gift to turn the situation the bully has created into a joke or just say something funny. This will break the bully’s confidence and they will know that you are strong and sure about who you are.     5    

A．This will make them back off.

B．Bullying comes in different forms.

C．There is no simple solution to the problem.

D．Another effective measure is to ignore them.

E．You can always shift focus to the bystanders.

F．Tell them to stop in a firm and confident voice.

G．We’re not asking you to make a huge circle of friends.

【推荐1】These cold and dark winter days make me want to curl up with a book, perhaps while eating vacation cookies. One could describe my behavior in this way: sit too long and have a sweet snack. A regular practice of these things may well lead to weight gain.

Is winter weight gain a thing? “Yes,” says Larry Cheskin, who chairs the nutrition department at George Mason University. “There is good evidence that it is a thing.”

Research shows that people gain one to two pounds over the winter months. There is also evidence that American adults gain one to two pounds each year. Winter weight gain may be a major culprit (罪魁祸首), so perhaps we should view the season as a particularly risky time for adding excess padding (赘肉). Some researchers have narrowed the time window to look at weight gain over the weeks spanning Thanksgiving through New Year’s. In a study of 195 people at the National Institutes of Health(NIH), people gained 0.8 pounds, on average, during that period.

“The vacations are not insignificant,” Cheskin says. There are more social events，an increase in the variety of foods and more drinking. Alcohol adds calories and undermines self-control, which may do harm to people’s health. But it’s not just overeating at vacation parties that’s to blame. When it’s cold and snowy-or slushy or icy-outside, people spend more time indoors, which in turn can mean getting less physical activity.

That’s a vacation gift that no one wants. So if wintertime in general，and the vacations in particular，are a precarious(危险的)time for gaining weight, then what can be done? Be aware that winter weight gain can happen especially in this season. Pay attention to your diet and try to keep your activity level up.

【推荐2】Has anyone ever told you, “Stand up straight!” or scolded you for sitting lazily at a family dinner? Comments like that might be annoying, but they’re not wrong.

    1     It is the foundation for every movement your body makes, and can determine how well your body adapts to the stresses on it. These stresses can be things like carrying weight, or sitting in an awkward position.     2    

If your posture isn’t good enough, your muscles have to work harder to keep you upright and balanced. Some muscles will become tight and inflexible.     3     It increases the likelihood of accidents, and makes some organs, like your lungs, less efficient.

So what does good posture look like? If you’re sitting, your neck should be vertical, not tilted forward. Your shoulders should be relaxed with your arms close to your trunk. Your knees should be at a right angle with your feet flat on the floor. But what if your posture can’t be that great?     4     For example, adjust your screen so it’s at or slightly below eye level. Make sure all parts of your body, like your elbows and wrists, are supported.

It’s also not enough to just have good posture. Keeping your muscles and joints moving is extremely important. In fact, being still for long periods with good posture can be worse than regular movement with bad posture.     5     And be sure to exercise. Using your muscles will keep them strong enough to support you effectively, on top of all the other benefits to your joints, bones, brain and heart.

A．Try redesigning your environment.

B．You adjust your body unless you feel tired.

C．So if you sit a lot, get up and move around on occasion.

D．And the big one that we all experience every day is gravity.

E．Besides, poor posture leads to extra wear and tear on your joints.

F．Posture can even influence your emotional state and your sensitivity to pain.

G．Your posture refers to the way you hold your body when you’re sitting or standing.

【推荐3】By deciding to lead a healthy life, you are deciding to take full control of your own habits.     1     But how can you make it? Here are some tips for you.

Cook at home. Cooking at home is cheaper and healthier than eating out, so teach yourself to cook the things you love, and keep a well-stocked fridge. Shop healthily.     2     Start in the produce items, and skip the chips and snack items. Cook food you like, or you won’t want to eat it.

    3     If you have trouble getting to the gym on a regular basis, build more activity into your daily routine. Take up gardening or another active hobby. Get a dog so that you remember to go on walks. Cut your commute (通勤) and walk part of the way to work, or get in the habit of patronizing nearby businesses so you can walk there and back. This way, you can build a new exercise habit that can help you lead a healthier life.

Socialize. Having a healthy social network is good for your longevity, your recovery from illnesses you contract, and your mental stability. See friends regularly. Keep in touch with family.     4     Get involved in the organization, and stick with it.

Build happiness and self-acceptance. There is a strong link between happiness and health, so try to get in the habit of treating yourself lovingly. Speak to yourself the way you would speak to a dear friend. When you start having negative thoughts, pause, and identify the thought that is making you feel bad.     5     Instead, calm yourself until you can analyze the logic behind your bad feeling.

A．Develop active habits.

B．Buy whatever you like to cook.

C．Getting into healthy habits is helpful for you.

D．Accept the bad feeling and don’t try to control it.

E．To expand your social contacts, join an organization.

F．You get stuck with thoughts like, “Only losers feel this bad.”

G．Plan out your meals for the week, and go to the grocery store with a list.
