Most people hope to have a better memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault. "or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about - creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

【推荐1】We’re now used to wearing masks（口罩）in public during the novel coronavirus outbreak. About 300 million masks are used and then thrown away every day in China. Where do these used masks go? You might think that they just go in a garbage bin. But that’s just the first step on the masks journey.
After the masks are thrown in bins, garbage trucks empty the bins and take the trash to landfills. Next, the masks will be poured into garbage incinerators and burned. Burning masks might not seem to be very good for the environment. Won’t it cause pollution?
The answer is “no”, according to People’s Daily. That’s because most masks are made of non-woven fabrics whose main material is an environmentally-friendly material. It can break down easily. After burning, it turns into water and carbon dioxide, As long as we deal with the emission（排放）correctly, burning the masks won’t cause pollution.
In fact, burning the masks can bring some benefits. The process of burning garbage can electricity.
Burning one ton of garbage can generate more than 400 kilowatt hours of electricity. Some people predict that there will be 162,000 tons of used masks in China this year. Burning all of them can generate 64 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
This is enough to allow an electric car to drive 370 million km, which is 9,250 times around the Earth’s equator.
In addition, the slag（残渣）from burning masks can be recycled to make bricks or fill roadbeds.

【推荐2】Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know? How do we know, for example, that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?
The key to these questions is “evidence”, which means the facts, signs or objects that make you believe something is true.
Sometimes evidence means actually(实际上) seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling...)that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help. The “evening star” looks like bright twinkle in the sky, but with a telescope(望远镜) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing (or hearing or feeling...) is called an observation.
Often evidence isn’t just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there’s been a murder, often nobody (except the murderer and the dead person!) actually observed it. But detectives can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect. If a person’s fingerprints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn’t prove that he did the murder, but it can help when it’s joined up with lots of other evidence.
Prediction(预测) helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started.
People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.
What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: “Is there any evidence for that?” And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: “What kind of evidence is there for that?” Remember, always think carefully before you believe a word.
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?| A．What you see directly is real evidence. |
| B．Prediction helps to prove something if it is true |
| C．people should always believe their inside feelings. |
| D．Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope |
| A．To explain what the prediction is. | B．To tell what observation is called. |
| C．To introduce how detectives work. | D．To prove evidence is not just observation |
| A．finally | B．probably | C．completely | D．luckily |
| A．Evidence speaks | B．Scientists make predictions |
| C．Inside feelings help get ideas | D．Observation offers the facts |
In English, feeling “blue” makes people think of feeling sad. But in 2021, the word “blue” could be connected to something more hopeful.
The Pantone Color Research Center in the US leads color trends every year. For 2021, it has chosen “classic blue”, a color that reminds people of the sky before night. The reason is that it brings “calm, confidence and connection,” according to Pantone.
In 2020, people all over the world face big challenges, weather change, COVID-19, homelessness.... all of these problems make us feel nervous and worried. But as Pantone President Laurie Pressman said, “The color of classic blue always brings something relaxing.”
Imagine that you are lying down on the ground and looking at the evening sky. Looking at the dark blue sky will make you feel calm and relaxed, as well as make you think on a deeper level.
Pantone said that classic blue connects people everywhere as we all look up at our shared sky. This is a color we can be connected to around the world, no matter where we live. We look outside the door and we see this color, Pressman said.
Classic blue also plays into the sustainability movement, as people think of times when things were simpler and more comfortable.
“Like blue jeans, it’s always there and you’re comfortable with it,” said Pressman, who thinks classic blue is timeless and never out of style. If the color is always in style, people won’t throw “classic blue” things away. We can buy fewer products and save more resources.
So if you want to add some new things, choose something blue to keep up with the latest trend.
