4 . Think of your energy as a limited resource, like money in an account and follow these tips to increase your energy and live a happier, healthier, more productive life.

Eat nourishing (有营养的) food. A balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy and whole grains is what you need for optimal energy.     1     Consume a variety of foods from all the food groups to get a range of nutrients to energize you throughout the day.

Sleep seven to eight hours a night.     2     Sleep deprivation can perpetuate serious health conditions, as well as negatively affect your mood, motivation and energy levels. Prioritizing sleep is one of the best things you can do to set yourself up for a successful, energized day.

Keep company with good people.     3     Connecting with others who have similar interests will excite and energize you.

    4     Do something you enjoy every day, even if it’s something as simple as cooking a healthy meal or listening to your favorite song. Putting effort into the things that matter most to you will help you utilize and reserve your energy in ways that will bring out the best in you.

Think good thoughts for others. Maintaining a compassionate mindset is another way to conserve energy. One example of practicing this way of thinking is called kind attention. For example, try to make eye contact with a stranger and smile, while thinking“I wish you well.”     5    

A．Do something meaningful each day.

B．After all, you really are what you eat to some extent.

C．This positive act can, instead, keep you from judging that person.

D．Take note of the times when your energy levels tend to be the highest.

E．Getting more sleep seems to be a healthy habit many people need to improve on.

F．Maximize the amount of time that you spend with people you enjoy being around.

G．Exercise helps your body to work more efficiently during other physical activities.

5 . While having dreams is fine, achieving dreams requires determination and commitment. Above all, we must feel motivated on the journey to fulfill our dreams. How do we stay motivated once we have committed ourselves to action?    1     Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.

★Setting goals.

The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals.    2     Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal. A short-term goal in our example will be to draw up a business plan and set out a timetable that we intend to follow. Medium-term goals will include raising finance and employing staff.

★    3    

You can help keep yourself motivated by mixing with other motivated people. Their attitude is going to be optimistic and confident, and you can draw on that yourself. Negative thoughts can soon disappear if you are with people filled with positivity.

★Have self-belief.

When you are faced with a setback, don’t just let it defeat you. Believe in yourself and your abilities.    4     You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.

★Mistakes aren’t failures.

Often we can learn more from our mistakes than we can from our successes. If a task goes well, we can congratulate ourselves, but we will then move on.    5     Every mistake should be a lesson, enabling us to learn. Don’t let motivation slip after a failure, but be more motivated to prevent it in the future.

A．Self-motivation requires effort.

B．Keep company with positive folks.

C．A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream.

D．It is easy to forget what drives you to go ahead.

E．If we make a mistake, then we have to analyze why.

F．Believing in your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator.

G．Stepping back and looking at what you are doing is a good idea.

6 . I’m not a tea person. I do keep a box of assorted (什锦) teas on hand for company and for being sociable. One day, feeling troubled, I pulled out the tea box.

Camomile (洋甘菊) is one of the teas that always get left over after people have picked out their favorites. I gave the neglected camomile a sniff. It didn't really smell like anything. According to the box, it promotes relaxation. So does a cup of hot water, which is most similar to camomile tea. Over a cup of camomile tea, something happened.

I was transported to someplace very specific: my uncle Cliff’s farm. Uncle Cliff was one of the best land farmers in North Dakota. Scents (气味) help evoke memories. I found the cats hanging around the farm always showed up at milking time, waiting for Uncle Cliff to lose a drop of milk. But he never lost a drop.

At Grandma’s house, you could never be in trouble. You could do anything that interested you. Even if you rolled in the mud, everyone still thought you were good enough. Everyone laughed as often as they could. Even if they were laughing at you, it was OK. Grandma has soft wrinkly skin, and she loves you so much. She's right here, in the steam.

There will always be troubles in life, and I won't solve them all. But if I can bury my face in Grandma’s flowered apron, if I can be a 6-year-old girl again, just by drinking a cup of camomile tea, that’s what I'm going to do.

9 . I'm ashamed to say that,as the years have gone by,I haven't taken the time to walk around my neighborhood. Sure.I'm out and about all the time but always in the car to my way out of the neighborhood.

The main reason is that I don't love my neighborhood anymore.I'm referring to the place,not the people. My street used to come to an end in a forest. We would walk the dogs in the forest that always had nice,seasonal flowers and shrubs(灌木)coming up all year round. Now it's gone and been replaced(取代)by a forest of high-rise buildings.

Pretty down because of some annoying( 频人 的） office work these days.I decided I just had to get out and walk today. It started at the building "forest". I still felt pain in my heart from the sight and I missed those days of walking the dog and taking in the beauty of the trees and shrubs and flowers.

As I continued on, though.I came across this. .

Some very artistic children created some lovely, colorful artwork and I couldn't help but think they must have been trying to make me and everyone else just feel better. It certainly worked on me. Thank you,thoughtful artists!

At one point,I saw a man walking across one of the wider, busier streets. I shouted,"I just wanted to say hi to someone!" He answered,looking very friendly and happy,smiling and waving（挥手）.

As I walked near the last couple of streets of my walk, the winds began to blow. There were dark clouds behind me so I decided to head home. Luckily, the rain didn't come down until I was resting on the sofa.""

I was glad I went out.

10 . One woman named Nancy Lublin noticed that teenagers in the United States needed more mental health services. She also saw that teenagers seemed more comfortable communicating through texting. These two realizations pushed Lublin to create Crisis Text Line, an organization that focuses on crisis intervention through text messaging.

“Texting turns out to be incredibly effective for counseling in a crisis,” Lublin told Glamour magazine. “It cuts right to the chase. You don’t get hyperventilating(呼吸急促) and crying. You just get facts.” When someone texts Crisis Text Line, the counselors, who are trained volunteers, use listening, collaborative problem-solving, and referrals to best help the texter overcome their crisis. “The Crisis Text Line has blown the roof off a lot of long-held assumptions about teens,” said Anthony Pisani, a member of Crisis Text Line’s clinical advisory board. He continued: “The number of kids reaching out is unprecedented. And I think the data could be revolutionary in terms of understanding adolescents in crisis and what it takes to help them.”

In fact, the data has already helped to uncover new trends. For example, the organization found that 30 percent of texts are about depression and suicide. They also found that two-thirds of crises occur at night between 8 pm and 4 am. Although the counselors don’t exactly know what causes these trends, they hope the data, which is made publicly available on CrisisTrends.org, can be used by researchers to better understand what might trigger them. They also hope that making this data public will better reduce the shame surrounding mental health support. Since starting in August 2013, Crisis Text Line has had over 5.5 million conversations with people seeking immediate mental health help. That number is only expected to grow as more people become comfortable enough to reach out for help when they are experiencing a mental health crisis.

“People are texting us from the office, from the lunch table,” Lublin said. “They’re texting us right when something is happening. So we’re getting them at the moment we can be most impactful — and we’re telling them they’re not alone.” Lublin commented, “I’ve got to admit that it feels pretty good to save lives.”

1. What’s the main purpose of Crisis Text Line?

A．To collect data about teenage health issues.	B．To offer teenagers mental health support.
C．To train teens to provide texting services.	D．To smooth parent-teen communication.

2. What does the underlined phrase “cuts right to the chase” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Involves a lot of work.	B．Lends someone a hand.
C．Communicates feelings.	D．Goes directly to the point.

3. Why is the data made public?

A．To explore causes and solutions.	B．To promote the organization.
C．To call attention to mental health.	D．To know what adolescents care about

4. What does Lublin think of Crisis Text Line?

A．It gives her a sense of achievement.	B．It helps her overcome her mental problems.
C．Its services should be more effective.	D．The number of its users is likely to drop.
