Promoting Body Positivity Movement

“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the popular saying goes. It reminds us that something’s appearance shouldn’t be the most important thing when we are determining its value.     1     Its message is that we should value ourselves for who we are warts and all. So what can we do to promote body positivity?

Not comparing your body to others, particularly celebrities, is a good first step.     2     Comparing only creates a standard we think we need to reach and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren’t up to scratch.

    3     When someone says something nice, embrace it — don’t push it away or play it down. And flatter others too. If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them, which can lift them up.

Appreciate your body for what it can do — walking, yoga, playing sports or otherwise.     4     You can be an incredible man regardless of your shape or size.

And finally, don’t forget that low self-esteem and body confidence issues affect everyone. There aren’t a lot of guys that are pushing the idea of body positivity. The only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight — but don’t give up and just move. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes.     5     Love what you look like.

A.This is what the body positivity movement is all about.
B.Regular workout brings you a strong and capable body.
C.Stopping judging ourselves against our imperfections is important.
D.Be unapologetic about who you are and what you want as a person.
E.Learn to express your admiration, which promotes positive mental health.
F.Being insecure in your daily life is common and sometimes necessary.
G.We are surrounded by these idealized images of what it is to be beautiful.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了胡萝卜的种植方法。

【推荐1】Most of us are familiar with carrots.     1     They are a cool-season crop that can tolerate low temperatures. 

    2     Firstly we should ensure that the soil used for deep-rooted types is free of stones. Mix the soil with organic matter, especially during the fall season before sowing. 

Then we should choose a variety of carrots after the soil is prepared.     3    The early ones are usually small, slender and are eaten while they are young; the main crop types are larger and are eaten fresh or stored. 

Early types should be sown in spring as soon as the soil is workable. They may also be sown under covers, though the covers should be removed after a few weeks.     4    Carrot seeds can be sown about 1/2 inch deep. Early carrots should be thinned to 3 inches apart; main crop carrots should be thinned to 1.5 inches. 

Weeds should be removed regularly once the carrots have germinated. Watering is needed every two to three weeks. Watch out for pests and diseases.     5     Protect against carrot rust flies by surrounding the patch of young carrots with a protective barrier 2 to 3 feet high. Use either fine netting or plastic as barriers. 

Early carrots can be harvested about seven to nine weeks after sowing and main crop carrots should be harvested after ten to eleven weeks.

A.There are many varieties.
B.They are good to people’s health.
C.They are usually orange in colour.
D.After about a week, the seeds come out.
E.Carrots are grown in an open site in fertile soil.
F.Carrot rust flies can be a serious problem for carrots.
G.Main crop types can be sown from late spring to early summer.

【推荐2】Successful budgeting is a key to good financial health and it really isn't hard. These steps will help create a realistic and successful budget:

List your expenses.

Make a list of your fixed expenses such as rent payments and insurance payments. Then make a list of your fluctuating (波动的) expenses, such as expenses for dining out, hobbies, and other expenses that don’t have a consistent payment.     1    

Separate your wants and needs.

    2    This is especially important to successfully budgeting to pay off debts or save money toward a specific goal. Any place where you see you’re clearly wasting money, get rid of it.

Consider buying budgeting software.

Part of the reason you do this is, of course, for guidance in successful budgeting.    3     Another part of it, though, is psychological. By investing (投资) in budgeting software, you mean business when it comes to your budget and saving goals.

    4    

For the most successful budgeting possible, everyone in your family needs to know and understand the budget. It won’t do any good to create a budget if your husband or wife isn’t aware of it and continues to spend money in ways you haven’t planned for.    5    They need to know that there are limits to how much money they can spend. So the earlier you get them started, the better.

A.Get your family on board.
B.Make sure your expectations are realistic.
C.This is not fundamental to successful budgeting.
D.And it’s never too early for kids to develop money skills.
E.Check those lists you have made for costs you can cut or avoid.
F.Review old bank statements to help you calculate approximate figures for these expenses.
G.It helps you understand the expenses categories and map out plans for successful budgeting.
