Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide? Me too. But life is more than working hard to finish tasks, collapsing into bed, judging the past 24 hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.
2.Add some action
Instead of writing plain reminders down as memory urges, like “Dentist” and “Report,” add some verbs and result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!” or “Complete report and let out your breath.” Imagine the good feeling attached to each agenda item and let it fuel you. So here’s how to get stuff done and enjoy yourself at the same time. 1.Rename it
My friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get- to-do’ list.” It’s a tiny change but a major shift.
Think about it. You get to walk your dog, choose wonderful dinner ingredients and
3. Trust there’s time
Have you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? Like when you’re late for work: You can’t find your jeans, you hurt your toe on the bed by accident and you misplace your phone as you head down the elevator. When we operate from a place of calm, stuff happens faster. We find what we need. We don’t burn the toast. It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and setting a simple intention for the day (not reaching straight for Instagram and email).
60. Which of the following does the author agree with about “your to-do list”? A. Choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day. B. Change “Dentist” into“Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!” C. Remind yourself you have plenty of time to deal with daily routines. D. Keep asking yourself questions with the air of “I got time!”
61. It can be concluded that the key to getting stuff done and enjoying yourself at the same time is
A. a state of mind B. a get-to-do list. C. a memory urge D. a place of calm
62. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To find out what to do first everyday. B. To imagine the good feeling of tasks. C. To explain the importance of lifestyle. D. To discover how to enjoy daily life.

Canals have to be built on a level, otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless. This was great problem facing the early canal builders, and they overcame it in different ways. The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and their canals level even though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.
Later engineers, such as Thomas Telford, developed a technique known as ‘cut and fill’ in which they fixed a level through very accurate surveying. This allowed them to fill in hollows on a route with the exact amount of soil they took the higher ground. By this method, very direct routes could taken, which cut down the time of a journey very
considerably. A good example of this type of canal is Telford’s Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal, which began in 1826 to provide a direct route from the Midlands to River Mersey.
It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal, course, whichever method was used, and most canals were provided with locks in which barges were raised or lowered new levels. If you look at the diagram on the right, you can barge being raised in a lock by means of water which was allowed into the lock basin, or pound, from the upper level of canal. When a barge had to be lowered, water was allowed of the pound into the lower level of the canal.
60. Brindley’s canals were less efficient, most likely because . A. he was not a good canal engineer
B. the techniques and skills available at the time were useless C. his canals were built to keep the water drains out D. they had too many roundabout routes
61. According to this passage, why was the ‘cut and fill’ technique designed?
A. The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.
B. It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time. C. New surveying techniques had been invented successfully. D. The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great. 62. Locks are needed in canals to .
A. help boats to travel in both directions B. keep water levels changing all the time C. allow large ships to travel in canals
D. transfer boats across differing water levels

Nicaragua is a land of opportunity for travelers. There are vast and varied activities one can have in this country.
Hike Up the Mombacho Volcano
This two-hour hike isn’t going to be an easy one, but it is a rewarding experience and will get your heart racing. You can look forward to beautiful views of several of the four craters, spotting wildlife, and enjoying the cooler temperature. In case of any encounter with some fierce creatures, it is recommended that you hire a tour guide at the welcome center who knows how to react at an emergency.
Horseback Riding in the Cloud Forests
Horseback riding in the lush Nicaraguan countryside isn’t something to miss. To prevent any danger a suspicious horse might bring, you have to book a packaged tour through a legal agency and then accompanied by a groom, you can enjoy a morning or afternoon exploring the backroads right outside the city of Granada. The best part of this experience is a visit to the Apoyo Lagoon, a nature reserve that originated about 23,000 years ago. With a beautiful lake, it is a welcomed respite after riding in the hot sun for hours. Be sure to pack a bathing suit.
Sunbathe in the Corn Islands
Not all activities have to be adrenaline-inducing. Take a break and enjoy the sunshine on the
Corn Islands. The islands are about 43 miles off the coast of Nicaragua and consist of Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island. Sunny, with warm weather year round, these islands make for the perfect vacation. Visitors can enjoy lazy beach days by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Volcano Board at Cerro Negro
For those who dare to try Volcano boarding there’s no better place than Cerro Negro. Cerro Negro is still an active volcano that last erupted in 1999 and is monitored closely by the Nicaraguan Seismic Network to prepare for the immediate evacuation in case of eruptions. When the volcano is behaving itself, it is the perfect playground for adventurers.
Whichever tour company you book, you will need to be prepared to carry your board. The summit, from which you will board down, is about 2,388 feet, a height ideal for the activity. After a quick compulsory tutorial of what to do, you will put on your “flight suit”, gird your loins, and descend down the volcano. The entire experience is about three to five minutes, depending on whether you stop or roll off your board.
60. The underlined word evacuation is closest in meaning to____________ ,
A. demonstration B. withdrawal C. punishment D. entertainment
61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A tour guide is suggested for Mombacho hiking to strengthen wildness experience. B.The experience at the Apoyo Lagoon reserve is as tiring as the horseback riding. C.Cerro Negro is perfect for volcano board because it is still active.
D.Visitors must receive training before actually boarding from Cerro Negro peak.
62. A person who likes taking charge of everything on his own in travel will most likely go to A. the Mombacho Volcano B. the Cloud Forests C. the Corn Islands D. Cerro Negro

Interested in learning simple moves which can lead to a less stressed-out you? Join our eight-week course of training Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction. Below is a brief introduction of our four strategies to build the ability to recover from stress.
For many of us, work can be so mentally exhausting that it’s possible to forget that we have an entire body attached to our head. The body-scan meditation is a chance to help you tune in to the tiny pains that we often don’t even notice. It can last anywhere from one to 20 minutes, and it’s easy to do while lying in bed. Here’s how to do it: lie down or sit still in a chair with your eyes closed, and begin to sense every part of the body in turn, starting at your toes and traveling up from there. It’s a good way for us to release tension we don’t even realize we’re experiencing. Mindfulness isn’t all closed eyes and a statue-still position. Stretching, too, can be meditation. Mindful movement is also a way to pay attention. The point isn’t to twist into a complex body position, but to better understand the body’s limits and potential. Cycle through slow, gentle poses, like placing a knee to your chest while lying on your back, or a simple cat-cow (pictured) on all fours. Before you start, set aside a few minutes to calm down and focus on your breath. And once you’re done, spend a few moments lying flat on your back with your muscles relaxed. Simply breathing while paying attention to the breath is the heart of any mindfulness practice. The goal isn’t to clear the mind but to let thoughts pass like clouds without getting sucked into what they might mean. Rather than identifying with a thought or getting caught up in it, the participant notices the thought and then says goodbye to it. That way, people can have a little bit more freedom in how to respond to internal stimuli like their thoughts. To cultivate awareness of the breath, find a relaxed seat and notice—without thinking about it or trying to change it—how you breathe in and out. Build up to a 15-to-20-minute practice. Walking is a good framework for practicing mindfulness. (Ideally, this should be done without the pressure of having to get anywhere on a particular schedule.) Find a quiet place inside or outdoors to take your stroll. While you walk, focus on each small, slow step: the lifting of one foot, the heel-first transfer of weight, the shift to the other. Every time your foot hits the ground, bring your attention to your breath and the feelings in your body. Walking meditation is more manageable than, say, sitting still in the dark, and it can also alleviate pain in the process. Try to practice mindful walking, at any pace, for 10 to 30 minutes. 60. Gentle Yoga and Breathing Exercise are similar in that both of them .
A. involve stretching bodies considerably B. call for controlling people’s breath C. empty pressure from mind temporarily D. help people reduce body movement 61. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. People can do their walking meditation at their own pace. B. Doing body scan can let go of the unnoticed tension.
C. Before doing gentle yoga, people need to lie down and relax muscles. D. Breathing exercise requires people to breathe in a usual way. 62. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Warming up activity is required before doing these exercises. B. These exercises are better functioned when done indoors.
C. The more time you spend on the exercises, the better result you get. D. Your body keeps in a motionless state when doing body scan.

Serena Williams Biography (1981–
)
Who Is Serena Williams?
Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player who has held the top spot in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings numerous times over her career. She won her first major championship in 1999 and completed the career Grand Slam in 2003. Along with her individual success, Serena has teamed with sister Venus Williams to win a series of doubles titles. Early Life and Family
Serena Williams was born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan. The youngest of Richard’s five daughters, Serena and her sister Venus would grow up to become great tennis champions. Serena’s father — a former sharecropper from Louisiana determined to see his two youngest girls succeed — used what he’d collected from tennis books and videos to instruct Serena and Venus on how to play the game. At the age of three, practicing on a court not far from the family’s new Compton, California, home, Serena endured the hardship of daily two-hour demanding practices from her father.
The Williams Sisters
With their signature style and play, Venus and Serena changed the look of their sport. Their sheer power and athletic ability overwhelmed opponents, and their sense of style and presence made them standout celebrities on the court. The close-knit sisters lived together for more than a dozen years in a gated Palm Beach Gardens region in Florida, but they went their separate ways after Serena bought a mansion in nearby Jupiter in December 2013. In 1999, Serena beat out her sister Venus in their race to the family’s first Grand Slam win when she captured the U.S. Open title. It set the stage for a run of high-powered, high-profile victories for both Williams sisters. ‘The Serena Slam’
In 1995 Serena turned pro. In 2002, Serena won the French Open, the U.S. Open, and Wimbledon, defeating sister Venus in the finals of each tournament. She captured her first Australian Open in 2003, making her one of only six women in the Open era to complete a career Grand Slam. The win also fulfilled her desire to hold all four major titles at the same time to make up what she’d called “The Serena Slam.”
60. What can we learn about the Williams sisters from the passage? A. Serena lives together with Venus. B. Serena and Venus are twin sisters.
C. The Williams sisters outstood beyond their talents.
D. Serena defeated Venus winning her first championship.
61. According to the 2nd and 3rd parts of the passage, which statement is true? A. Serena used to receive very strict training when she was a child. B. The Williams sisters managed to copy their opponents styles. C. Serena bought herself a house at the age of 30 in Michigan. D. Serena and Venus are hostile to each other.
62. What does “The Serena Slam” mean according to the passage? A. Serena won her first Australian Open in 2003.
B. Serena won the championships in the four Open in a row. C. Serena defeated her sister Venus in the finals of each tournament. D. Serena became the first in the Open era to complete a career Grand Slam.

People climbing Mount Everest are two times as likely to reach the top and less likely to die on the climb than 20 years ago, a new study finds. Everest, high in the Himalayans, is the tallest mountain above sea level on Earth. It reaches 8,848 meters into the sky.
Between 2006 and 2019, around two thirds of climbers were successful in their attempt to reach the top. In the 15 years before that, only about one-third went all the way to the top.
The number of attempts to reach the top of Everest has risen sharply over the years, leading to a 300 percent increase in overcrowding. In 2019, 955 climbers tried to reach the mountaintop. Only 222 people did so in 2000.
The study noted that on a single day in May of last year, 396 climbers had gathered at the narrow path just below the top. The area, known as the “death zone,” is so narrow that only a small number of climbers can pass through, one directly behind another.
Nine climbers died on Everest in May 2019. It was the deadliest Everest climbing season since 2015 when an earthquake killed at least 18 people on the mountain.
A picture of climbers waiting their turn to go up and down through the death zone became famous as it was shared online. Yet researchers say the crowds were not the main reason for the deaths last year.
“Surprisingly crowding has no evident effect on success or death” of Everest climbers, the study said. However, overcrowding does make the climb more dangerous.
“If crowding slows climbers (as is expected), this increases their exposure to the elements, which should increase risk of an accident or illness,” said Raymond B. Huey, lead writer of the report.
An unexpected storm, earthquake, or landslide could be disastrous, he told Reuters by email.
Climbers have expressed concern that was giving anyone willing to pay the government $11,000 permission to climb Everest. Nepal plans to change its policy to require climbers to use guides, and meet physical fitness and experience qualifications, said tourism department official Mira Acharya.
Nepal temporarily closed its mountains to climbers because of the coronavirus health crisis. Now they are open again. However, Acharya noted that flights into and within Nepal have not restarted.
More than 6,000 people have climbed Mount Everest since 1953, when New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to reach the top. At least 311 climbers have died trying.
59. Supposing 900 people took part in the climbing Mount Everest between 1990 and 2005, how many of them reached
the top? A. 300. B. 400. C. 500. D. 600 60. Why does overcrowding make the climbing more dangerous? A. Because it surprisingly leads to death for those climbers.
B. Because it stopped the climbers from reaching the top at the area called “death zone”. C. Because it exposes climbers to increasing risk of an accident or illness.
D. Because it gets climbers stranded in “death zone” and unable to get further supplies. 61. According to the report, what is the possible reason for overcrowding?
A. More people want to experience the climbing to the top of Mount Everest.
B. A picture of climbers waiting to reach the top inspires more people to give it a try. C. Nepal government gives climbers permission without restrictions.
D. More people want to climb the Mount Everest before Nepal takes restrictions. 62. What is the general idea of this passage?
A. Climbers are more likely to lose their lives before Reaching Top of Mount Everest. B. More climbers need to be trained before climbing Mount Everest. C. Enough experience in climbing mountains matters so much.
D. Climbers are twice as likely to reach top of Mount Everest than in Past. 答案：59-62 ACCD

CAREERS & MANAGEMENT
Many large companies now use applicant-tracking systems (ATSs). As the name suggests, such systems help recruiters track and manage applicants. They also select the best candidates and filter out the rest. How can you make sure that your application gets past the robots and reaches a human recruiter? Here’s what the expert, DEBORAH CAPRAS, says.
Use the right format (格式）
Most applications are removed because they are not formatted in way these systems can read and interpret: Amanda Augustine, career expert at Presumption, explains to CNBC Make It. Check which format is specified in the job ad before you upload your application. It's usually Microsoft Word format. Keep it simple
Avoid columns and tables, as many systems have problems recognizing where these start and end. According to Alludes, a specialist recruitment company, you should keep the structure and format simple. “Don't get fancy,” advises Alludes on its blog. Use standard fonts (Arial or Caliban). Excessive formatting or decorative elements might present an unreadable mess to the ATSs. Stick to traditions
Use traditional categories, such as “Achievements”, “Education”, “Professional qualifications”, “Skills” and “Work experience”. These systems are programmed to sort the information into such categories. “There is no standard you have to follow, ” says Nick Francis of Silencer, “but you should stick to the most popular or most frequently used ones to be safe,” he tells CNBC Make It. Understand the algorithms (算法)
“ATS algorithms aren’t that different from the human algorithms,” Jon Shields, marketing manager at Jacobson, tells The Muse. “We’re all kind of skimming for the same things,” he says. The system first skims your application for specific key words, then it ranks candidates who match the job description well. This doesn’t mean you should copy and paste directly from the job description into your application. You should reuse expressions that are recognized industry terms. This is important when listing job titles, qualifications or achievements. If you're not sure which ones to include, use an online tool to find the right words. Basically, even if you are highly qualified, unless you include the right search terms in your application, a human recruiter will never meet you. 60. Applicant-tracking systems (ATSs) are used for . A. formatting the uploaded applications C. helping companies find qualified candidates B. collecting applicants’ data from their applications D. promoting applicants’ career development 61. Which of the following is NOT DEBORAH CAPRAS’ advice? A. Check the format used in your application before uploading it. B. Keep the structure and format of your application simple. C. Stick to the most popular or frequently used categories. D. Avoid using expressions that are recognized industry terms. 62. This brochure mainly talks about . A. where applicants should send their applications B. how applicants could get their applications past ATSs
C. what applicants must do in preparing for an interview
D. why ATS algorithms work in the same way as human’s
