I always buy many things, but I find things that make a life worth living cannot be ________. They can only be found in the ________ I have.

4 . With summer in full swing and excessive heat waves rolling through parts of the country, taking a dip in water can be a refreshing way to cool off. Every year people risk their lives in and around water as they don't follow simple safety guidelines.     1     .

Never swim alone—even in public pools or beaches where lifeguards are watching, always use the buddy system.     2     .

Always observe safety signs-be familiar with what water safety signs mean, you may see different signs at the beach or the pool. If you are unsure what these signs mean, ask a life- guard.

    3    —different water ways come with different risks, make sure you know how to call for help should you ever need it. Raise your hand out of the water to signal for help, stand or move the shallow area if you can, float on your back and call for help.

Don't take risks—let's play it safe when in and around water.     4     , or you could accidentally hurt someone else or yourself.

Always swim between the flags when at the beach—lifeguards place the flags in the safest swimming area on the beach for that day. Swimming between the flags also means that if you need help, you can signal a lifeguard by raising your arm above your head.

B．Don't push or jump on others

7 . We’ve noticed our kids out on some extra weight during this pandemic（疫情）. Here are what doctors and specialists say about what to do to get the family back on track.

    1    

In the mess of the pandemic, sleep and wakeup times slid later and later for lots of kids, says Dr. Nazrat Mirza, medical director of the pediatric（小儿科） weight management clinic in Washington, D.C. Research has linked regular, adequate sleep to improved mental and physical health in kids. If sleep routines have become a problem in your family, try to move kids’ bedtimes back by 15 minutes every two or three nights.     2    

Create more structure around meal times.

    3     It was also the case with some trained experts. “It was sort of this buffet-style experience where they were eating throughout the day,” says Stacey Rosenfeld, a specialist in eating disorders, whose kid ended up gaining 20 pounds.     4     While putting kids on a restricted diet can lead to unintended consequences, creating and sticking to set meal and snack times can help kids control their appetites and develop sensible eating habits, experts say.

Have sympathy for yourself, and model it for your kids.

We’ve all been through an incredibly stressful and tiring year and a half, and it’s not over. And some families have been especially hard hit by this pandemic. “We have to show ourselves a little pity and it’s not going to happen with a snap of the fingers,” says Hassink.     5     Even if your kids didn’t gain weight, teach them not to tease others. Eventually, “we want to be building our kids up. We want to be focusing on who they are outside of their bodies,” says Rosenfeld.

A．Get bedtimes back on track.

B．Do the same thing with wake-up times, she says.

C．Have sympathy for your kids and your life will be easy.

D．As things calmed down, she decided it was time for a reset.

E．Bedtimes play a vital role in improving the quality of sleep.

F．That sympathy is something we should also foster in our children.

G．All-day-long, unmonitored eating became a habit in many families of the pandemic.

How TV impacts children

Dr. Heinrich Applebaum recently completed a study on the effects of television on children. In his case, though, he wasn’t concerned     1     violence , but how television gives children a false sense of reality.

Dr. Applebaum told me,“One of       2     (great) dangers of television is that it presents a world to children that doesn’t exist, and raises expectations that can never be fulfilled. ” “ I don’t understand, Doctor, ”I said. “Well, let me cite one example. Have you ever seen a television show       3       a person in an automobile doesn’t immediately find a parking2 place on the very first try?” “Come to think of it, ”I said,“I haven’t. ”

“Not only is there always a parking spot available but the driver doesn’t even have to back into it. There are two parking spaces available       4       someone in a TV show needs one . Children     5     (lead) to believe that when they grow up they will always be able to find a parking place when and where they want it.     6     you discover in real life is that you can drive around a block for three hours and still not find a place to put your car?”

“ I never thought of it but it’s true . What else do they show on television which gives a       7     (distort) picture of the real world?” “Have you noticed that whenever a character walks out of a restaurant or office building or apartment and says to the doorman,‘Get me a taxi, ’the taxi immediately arrives? Millions of children are under the impression5 that all a doorman has to do is blow his whistle and a taxi will be there. I have never seen a show where the doorman has said, ‘ I’m sorry. I can’t get you a taxi. You better take the bus. ’” “Of course , ”I said.“I never knew before what bothered me about those TV action programs, but now I do. There is always a yellow taxi waiting off screen. ” “Now, ”said Applebaum,“ have you ever said to a taxi driver,‘       8     (follow)   that car and don’t lose him’?”

“Not really. ” “Well, if you had, the driver would have told you to blow it out your ear. No taxi driver is in a mood     9     (do) because that means he ’s going to get involved.

But on TV every cabdriver looks as if he ’d like     10     better to do than to drive 90 miles an hour through a rain-swept street trying to keep up with a car full of hoods. And the worst thing is that the kids believe it. ”

10 . Why Do People Really Use Facebook

In an online world, people are constantly searching for newer ways of communication. Facebook is an important part of online social media that supports communication in various ways. Out of all social media platforms, Facebook is the most used platform by millions of people across the world.     1    

To serve the need of belongingness. Every individual wants to belong to some social groups. For this purpose, they do what others have been doing. Thus, they join Facebook when all their friends and relatives have also been joining it.     2    .

Facebook offers multiple ways to create such connections and preferred communities.

To serve the need of self-presentation. People want to present themselves positively in front of others. Thus, they look for a platform through which they could fulfill their need of self-presentation.     3    It lets people make their profiles and share ideas and feelings through various means. People can form new connections on Facebook and share images and videos with their connections.

    4    Although people do it subconsciously (下意识地)，they are trying to increase their pride using Facebook. Receiving virtual likes and comments can perfect their image in their own eyes.

To kill time and avoid boredom. Many people who want to avoid boredom in their lives go on making a profile on Facebook where they interact virtually with their connections.     5    

A．To improve self-respect.

B．All their friends and relatives need it.

C．That's why so many people are using it.

D．Here are the reasons why it is so popular.

E．This helps them kill spare time as well as their boredom.

F．One such wonderful platform supporting this need is Facebook.

G．They want to connect to their community and feel attached to it.
