Have you ever accepted others’ help? Do you remember him or her? You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone. Sometimes you may think your help is so small, but as a matter of fact, what you do is of vital significance to others.

When young, I worked as an English teacher in a university. During the summer vacation, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp by a college. Having been highly involved in many campus activities, I jumped at the opportunity.

About an hour into the first day of camp, immersed (沉浸于) in communications and interactions, I noticed the boy in black for the first time. Small and skinny, the boy was seated alone, staring into space and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear fragile. The desperate loneliness he revealed almost stopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from the senior staff- to stay alert for campers who might fall left out.

I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole surroundings appeared foreign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about him, I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could. In the meantime, it struck me that I should do what I could to give him a hand. I argued that he needed a friend, one who could share happiness and sorrow with him. I hoped to be his friend, his real friend to help him go through the challenging period.

4 . Tips That Will Help Your Family Sleep Better

Whatever your situation looks like, it is important to prioritize(优先) sleep health. Here are tips to help you build routines that allow your family to get better sleep.

Set a sleep schedule

It’s important to understand how a consistent sleep schedule helps improve sleep quality. As kids adjust themselves to the school schedule, there’s an opportunity for parents to ease children into a new wake-up time.

    1    . In other words, once they get up earlier, they’ll be ready for bed earlier, too.

Go outside

    2    . You might consider having breakfast outside and taking the dog for a walk. Being outdoors in the morning, along with interacting as a family, can be powerful in terms of establishing a new rhythm and will get a conversation going with the brain, so you naturally become used to your new routine.

    3    

Research shows that regular exercise improves the quality and duration of sleep. It doesn’t have to be an intense or prolonged（持续时间长的） workout, but making time every dayto get moving will help you and your children sleep better. Just be sure to wrap up any intense exercise before you begin to relax for the night.     4    

Set up daily family check-ins

Make time each day to connect with your family, even for just a few minutes - at the dinner table, before bed, whenever it makes sense for your schedule. First, you can ask: “What was the best part of your day?” or “What fun thing happens to you?”     5    . After all, a strong family bond can work wonders to everyone’s sleep.

A．Move every day

B．Exercise before bedtime

C．For example, yoga can be great to relax you

D．Only in this way can they go to classes on time

E．And then talk about what you all are grateful for

F．First thing in the morning, try to get some sunlight

G．If you control the wake-up time, you’ll control the bedtime

5 . There was a time when the word “surgery” used to scare people, and they would try their best to avoid a surgical procedure. The feeling is understandable, as the idea of a large cut on your body is discomforting in many ways. However, thanks to the advances in medical science, surgical techniques have improved considerably.

Compared with the traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery (微创手术)has several benefits to offer. Not only is the procedure quick and less painful, but also ensures rapid recovery. Now, surgical procedures, either big or small, are done within a few minutes to a few hours. The best part about the minimally invasive surgery is the painless procedure. The advanced techniques are helping with quality treatments to patients who have to undergo (进行) surgical procedures.

Unlike the traditional open surgery that requires a large cut, a surgeon makes multiple tiny cuts of less than an inch. For the process, the surgeon uses small surgical instruments, such as a tiny tube with a mini camera at one end. Once the surgeon marks the cuts, he then passes the tiny tube through one of the cuts. The doctor monitors the images taken by the mini camera on the screen and uses them as a reference. These images give the surgeon a clear picture of the area undergoing the surgery. After the surgery, the surgeon cleans the cuts and sometimes places a bandage for additional support.

Minimally invasive surgery has become the first choice of patients with multiple medical conditions. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that these surgeries are now the standard surgical procedures for many routine operations. Whether you have a minor issue or want a surgical intervention for a major health condition, it is the best option.

1. What makes people afraid of surgery?

A．The large cut.

B．The great risk.

C．The high expense.

D．The slow recovery.

2. What can surgeons use as a reference in the surgery?

A．The previous treatment plan.

B．The images by the mini camera.

C．The standard surgical procedures.

D．The advice from other surgeons.

3. Who might benefit most from the minimally invasive surgery?

A．Patients in need of additional support.

B．Patients lack of regular checkups.

C．Patients with several medical conditions.

D．Patients scared of surgical instruments.

4. What is the author's attitude towards minimally invasive surgery?

A．Disapproving.

B．Objective.

C．Doubtful.

D．Supportive.

6 . One study found that 20% of its participants resolved to lose weight on January 1. Diets don't work long- term- most people eventually gain back the weight, if not even more-and lower body weight doesn't mean better health.

Changing your diet in the name of losing weight can do you real harm. But that doesn't mean you can't benefit from eating differently. If you're not feeling physically well or your relationship with food feels off, it's not a bad idea to change the way you eat. It's possible to better your weight control by being more mindful about what you eat. Doing so may even lead to changes in your body composition. The key is to correct the idea that losing weight should be your driving goal.

People are more likely to maintain resolutions that involve an addition to their routine, rather than goals that require avoiding something appealing. Instead of resolving to limit treats, set a goal to eat a greater variety of foods. Try adding vegetable to every meal, or eating a piece of fruit for your afternoon snack.

The idea of adding instead of subtracting (减去) can guide you to make meals more nutrient-rich. Instead of giving up chips and cookies, aim to pair them with what benefits your health - slices of orange or a handful of nut. Mix leafy greens into your soup or throw some cabbage into your morning egg.

Besides, tracking each day that you maintain your resolutions can make the goal feel measurable. “Start out small, ”says Vivienne, a psychologist, “Rather than saying 'I will do this every day', say 'I'm going to do it two or three times a week. ”

1. What can be learned about weight from paragraph 2?

A．Losing weight should be a driving goal.

B．Eating differently hardly helps lose weight.

C．Changing diet may benefit weight control.

D．Gaining weight harms body composition.

2. Which is a better way to maintain resolutions?

A．Set an ambitious goal.

B．Gain control over one's desire.

C．Follow a fixed schedule.

D．Add routine items accordingly.

3. Which statement might Vivienne agree with?

A．We should not rush the process.

B．We should make detailed plans.

C．We should track important goals.

D．We should not control diet regularly.

4. What is the text mainly talking about?

A．How to form healthy eating habits.

B．How to make positive life changes.

C．How to lose weight in an effective way.

D．How to improve one's relation with diet.

7 . “I grew garlic for the first time as I didn’t want to throw it away. It grew roots in just seven days. It opened up a new world to me,” said Zhong Liu, a young illustrator living in Shenzhen. On the 5-square-meter balcony (阳台) of Zhong’s apartment, there is a mini-farm with lemons, tomatoes and eggplants.

Zhong’s lifestyle started when residents were required to work from home. Zhong is not alone. An increasing number of urban youth have picked up the hobby of growing vegetables on their balconies as working from home has changed their lives. Zhong has started sharing her journey on social media platforms this year, which has brought her more than 100, 000 followers.

In a chat group consisting of over 100 balcony green thumbs across the country, they share the growth of their vegetables, discussing which plants are more suitable for balcony planting and how to fertilize (施肥) crops. “Balcony gardening really heals the urban youth. We plant and look forward to the harvest, and experience the happiness.” Zhong said.

Chinese city managers are also seeking new methods to rebuild the relationship between urban residents and nature through vegetable gardens. The government of Guangzhou launched a vegetable garden project, providing seeds and farm tools at the minimum price as well as organizing agricultural experts to provide online Q&A for local residents, in an effort to encourage urban youth to get in touch with nature through balcony planting.

In cities, people need to get along with nature. They will be healed during the process of getting close to plants. Parent-child relationships can be strengthened by taking part in the activities together. Community gardening also promotes interpersonal communication, and makes neighborhoods harmonious.
