3 . How to strengthen your willpower
Many of us face challenges with willpower, yet most people seem to believe this skill can be learned and strengthened. Fortunately, researchers have also come to similar conclusions.
Think of willpower as a muscle that can be strengthened with time and effort. Experts recommend simple but challenging tasks, like using your left hand to open doors or turning off lights when leaving a room.
Bad sleeping habits exhaust you physically and mentally, affecting your resistance to temptation. Sleep-deprived people are more prone to lack of focus and risky decisions. While everyone’s sleep needs vary, the National Sleep Foundation recommends seven to nine hours of sleep per night for the best performance.
Meditate
When tempted by food, drinks, or spending, use the “out of sight, out of mind” method. If not possible, remove the temptation or distance yourself temporarily. Walk, call a friend, or pursue a hobby until the urge fades.
| A．Sleep as long as possible |
| B．Form a good sleeping habit |
| C．Here are tips to help you strengthen your willpower |
| D．Meditation is a powerful tool for enhancing willpower |
| E．Engage in these tasks for a few weeks to boost your willpower |
| F．This is effective for behavioral addictions or problematic behaviors |
| G．Meditation is the act of remaining in a silent and calm state for a period of time |

5 . Three years ago, Juan Carlos Sesma thought that global warming and climate change seemed to be a mounting problem, with scientific records indicating rising temperatures and sea levels across the world. At the same time, forest fires, cutting down trees in the forests, and aggressive human expansion meant the supply of trees was decreasing. As everyone knew, trees helped to regulate and remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere.
He thought the best way to deal with this problem was to combine two of the most powerful forces emerging in technology: big data and robotics. Therefore, Sesma decided to found such a new company called CO2 Revolution, whose plan was to use drones (无人机) to better understand where new trees should be planted and to automate the process of planting so that much larger areas of forest could be repopulated. The company designed a special smart seed that helped to deliver just the right amount of protection and nutrition to the young trees. The overall goal was to considerably lower the time and cost of large scale re-forestation.
CO2 Revolution isn’t alone. In the UK, a startup called Biocarbon Engineering ran a trial earlier this year where it used drones to help replant Mangrove trees in Myanmar. It has also deployed (部署) its technology in Australia, South Africa, and Morocco. “In a lot of places, people will either have a map taken by aeroplane, or just use Google Earth satellite imagery. They'll draw things out freehand and manually plant, either by hand or tractor,” said CEO Susan Graham in a recent interview.
The challenge for all these startups like CO2 Revolution is to find ways to create a profitable, or at least sustainable business model. For Sesma and the team at CO2 Revolution, recent regulatory action has highlighted one potential pathway. Sesma said, “We offer a solution that allows clients to carry out massive plantings, increasing forest mass and thus compensating for their carbon footprint. Amid growing calls for carbon sequestration, this kind of effort might prove not just noble, but financially sensible (明智的) for large corporations.”

| C．Global warming are becoming worse. | D．The sea level is decreasing gradually. |
| A．To sell seeds. | B．To produce drones. |
| C．To collect data. | D．To decrease CO₂. |
| A．CO2 Revolution doesn't have the ability to use robotics. |

6 . Nik was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer in 2008 when he was 17. He died in 2012. But Nik’s kindness and generosity have lived on long after his death.
After he was diagnosed and started treatment, Nik was granted (给予) a wish experience from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “For just this period of time, we didn’t think about cancer,” Kelli Boehle said. “All we thought about was enjoying our time together.” In 2009, Nik met another young man Nate, who was also going through cancer treatment. He’d been diagnosed a month after turning 18, and Nik leaned he was too old to qualify for a wish. The night before Nik’s death, he asked his mother to help ensure that young adults fighting cancer could have their wishes come true too.
“It was like a seed he planted that just wouldn’t stop coming into my mind,” she said. In 2012, Kelli Boehle started Nik’s Wish. The nonprofit grants wishes to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who are battling cancer. Nate was the organization’s first wish recipient. “It’s meant to bring them joy and know that they’re loved and that we’re fighting for them, too,” Kelli Boehle said.
Recently, 19-year-old Jordan Morrow received her wish to attend a Taylor Swift concert as part of a trip to Los Angeles. For Morrow, who has spent the last year battling brain cancer, going to the concert has done more than lift her spirits. “I think it’s something to get me through whatever comes my way,” she said. “And I’m thankful for Nik’s Wish for that.”
In the 11 years since Nik died, the organization has granted more than 300 wishes across more than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Boehle says she wasn’t sure she could be a wish maker and work closely with the young adults. But now, it’s her favorite thing to do.

One Sunday morning, a high school student named Lily was wandering in the school. The sun shone brightly through the leafy trees that lined in the school courtyard. A gentle breeze wafted (吹送, 飘送) through the air, carrying the distant sounds of laughter and chatter from other students. It was at this peaceful and joyful moment that Lily saw a wallet lying on the ground. “Whose is it?” Lily said to herself. She picked it up and opened it, seeing a large amount of cash accompanied by important documents and ID cards.
Doubt and confusion began to consume Lily. “What should I do? Should I keep the money for myself? I can buy many things I’ve wanted for a long time.” she thought. The trees around her seemed to swing together, as if mirroring the chaos within her thoughts. “But if I took it, I’d be going against my values and breaking the trust others have in me,” a voice within her whispered urgently.
A knot formed in Lily’s stomach as she weighed the pros and cons, her thoughts racing. The blue sky above seemed to laugh at her confusion, offering no answers or respite (喘息) , which reminded her of the difficult choices she faced.
To make matters worse, just as Lily was about to hand the wallet over to the school administration, her phone rang, which was from her sick grandmother. “Hi, Grandma, what’s up?” Lily asked worriedly. “The doctor advised me to be hospitalized.” her grandmother replied. This added an extra layer of complexity to her already disordered thoughts. “Can I use the money to help Grandma?” Lily considered.
She shut her eyes, trying to close out her confusion and anxiety. She knew that she needed to make a decision, but she was unsure what to choose.
