How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house,and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact,I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had,known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to e back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism,but the idea did not e to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried,and things became even more plex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad,and saw no end to \
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters,filled out forms,translated at interviews with Immigration officers,took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there,and even discussed telephone bills with pany representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all mon troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,and just wait
a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right,even though it will not be that easy. 21.How did the author get to know America? A.From her relatives. radio programs.

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can't make us tire.It sounds absurd.But a years ago,scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue（疲劳）.To the amazement of these scientists,they discovered that blood passing through the brain,when it is active,shows no fatigue at all!If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer,we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein,it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned,it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue es from our mental and emotional（情绪的）attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists,J.A.Hadfield,says,\greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.\percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.\
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satisfaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety, tenseness,worry,a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

Choosing the Right Resolution（决定）
Millions of Americans began 2018,with the same resolution they started 2018 with,a goal of losing weight. However,setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.
To reach our goal of losing weight—the output,we need to control what we eat—the input（输入）.That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution:\\walk every day for 20 minutes.\a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the oute.
Recently a new science behind incentives（激励）,including in education,has been discussed.For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school.In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input,like reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on output,like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output.Fryer's conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam,aside from general rules like \harder.\certain books,on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.
As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher chance of success.And it's easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly what you need to do.
If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe,for example.This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn't a goal because it's too
B.enjoy their work
C.exercise regularly D.discover
B.Unpleasant emotions.
C.Endless
tasks.
general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your family, don't stop with this general wish.Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night every Wednesday.
In the long run,these new goals could bee a habit.

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and,at its best,it makes little environmental influence.But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,it is being more and more important to camp unobtrusively（不引人注目地）and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places,particularly in crowded lowland Britain.Wherever you are,find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces,and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building.For example,it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,but in England you must ask the landowner's permission,except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation,sleeping outdoors,experiencing bad weather,and making do without modem conveniences.A busy,fully-equipped campsite（野营地）seems to go against this,so seek out smaller,more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches.Better still,find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep.Choose
