Do you want to work out to stay healthy? The following are some home workouts you can try.
HIIT Workout
Interval training (HIIT) uses high-intensity exercises combined with short rest periods to maximize calorie burn and cardiorespiratory(心肺的) fitness. There are two HIIT circuits(循环训练) for different people.
For beginners: start with 30 seconds of workout, followed by 30 seconds of rest.
For the advanced: do 45 seconds of workout and 15 seconds of rest.
Yoga
Yoga combines breathing techniques, meditation(冥想) and different poses designed to encourage relaxation and reduce stress. Practicing yoga comes with many benefits for both mental and physical health. It helps to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Find a beginner workout and practice regularly, step by step.

When we think of CrossFit, probably the gym comes to our mind along with a lot of tools. At home and without these tools, CrossFit is a little more challenging, but not impossible. This is a good core workout:

|
•Ten sit-ups |
•Five push-ups |
•45-second plank |

My wife and I enjoy a well-built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what’s there to worry about?
That’s what a lot of folks thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best-built homes were dangerously low. Fortunately, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn’t, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our proactive preparation and my self-sufficient skill set.
My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in rural Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self-sustaining. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid (电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival techniques were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I’m familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious mindset. Living off the grid doesn’t have to be a minimalist lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same principles hold true, such as doing away with a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather.
What does the underlined word “devastating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Demanding. B. Disastrous. C. Delightful. D. Developing.
B
What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas?
A. Generate electricity himself.
B. Make proactive preparations.
C. Improve self-sufficient skills.
D. Lead a relatively normal life.
D
How did the writer know about living through bad situations?
A. By growing up on a farm.
B. By studying from the books.
C. By living a comfortable lifestyle.
D. By learning from his experience.
D
What is the best way to live off the grid?
A. To be aware of saving energy.
B. To adopt a minimalist lifestyle.
C. To wash clothes on a rainy day.
D. To buy a high-quality clothes dryer.
A

We are all stuck in the thought of having satisfying relationships, which bring some meaning to our lives and make us happy. We are so busy in finding true happiness that we often forget true happiness lies within us.
You have to love yourself first in order to love someone else. We have heard in countless inspiring speeches that self-love is the basis of a happy life. Have you ever wondered that with so many people advertising self-love, why haven’t we been able to love ourselves?
One of the reasons for our failure to love ourselves is that we have been taught to be selfless from the start of time. The minute we start thinking about ourselves, everyone around us makes it their personal mission to remind us of how selfish we are. However, there is nothing wrong with putting your needs and yourself first. Self-love is not selfish. It only helps us better understand which sacrifices (牺牲) are worth making!
Actually, self-love and healthy relationships cannot be separated. Self-love is the very core of any healthy relationship. Now you might wonder how my love for myself is going to make me able to have a healthy relationship. Isn’t a healthy relationship all about giving? Honestly, No.
When you know your worth, you know what you are willing to accept in a relationship and what not. You will know where to draw boundaries because you value your own opinions. You will have a clear understanding of what you need, what are your values and your limits. From now on, you should realize that true happiness lies within you and you shouldn’t waste time and effort searching for peace and joy in the world outside.
Where can we find true happiness?
A. In meaningful lives. B. In selfless partnership.
C. In self-loving hearts. D. In satisfying relationships.
C
Why do we fail to love ourselves?
A. We are taught to be selfish.
B. We focus on others too much.
C. We never make any sacrifices.
D. We have to achieve our missions.
B
What does the writer advise us to do?
A. Ignore our own needs.
B. Value others’ opinions.
C. Stop pursuing joy from others.
D. Accept everything in a relationship.
C
What can be learnt from the passage?
A. Self-love will make people become selfish.
B. Healthy relationships result from self-love.
C. Self-love won’t exist without healthy relationships.
D. Healthy relationships are more important than our needs.

D
From Black Beauty to The Chronicles of Narnia, many films and stories have shown the close bond that can develop between a human and a horse. However, no one knows how much horses actually understand about their human companions. Recently, researchers have been trying to determine whether horses understand human emotions, and they have found that horses can tell when someone feels happy or sad.
To conduct the experiment, the researchers tried a technique that is often used to study how much babies understand about the world around them. It involves setting up a situation that does not make sense. The researchers brought 28 horses into a room, one by one. They showed each horse a picture of a happy human and a sad human. At the same time, they played a recording of a happy or sad voice. When the picture and voice didn’t match — for example, if the voice was sad but the picture showed a happy person — the horse seemed puzzled and looked for a longer time, as if it knew something didn’t make sense. “You could imagine that they have a particular box in their mind labeled ‘human sadness’ containing the characteristics of both a human sad face and a human sad voice — and that when we are sad, they expect what we say to match how we look,” said researcher Océane Liehrmann of the University of Turku, in Finland.
The researchers also believe that horses prefer to be around happy people. The animals spent more time looking at the happy person’s picture and seemed more excited when they heard a joyful voice.
It is possible that the horses might have associated happy human expressions with positive memories from their past. Another theory is that seeing a happy person could actually make a horse feel happier — a process known as emotional infection. “We don’t know whether horses themselves understand what it is to be sad,” said Liehrmann. However, “it is possible that they learn that it means something for a human,” she said.
Why are the two films mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To show their popularity.
C. To attract people to watch films.
D. To ask people to care about horses.
A
How did the researchers study the horses?
A. By talking to them.
B. By recording their voices.
C. By comparing their pictures.
D. By observing their reactions.
D
How may a horse feel when hearing a sad voice from a happy face?
A. Sad. B. Happy. C. Confused. D. Excited.
C
What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Horses may feel very happy or sad.
B. Horses may have positive memories.
C. Horses can get along well with people.
D. Horses can understand people’s feelings.

How to Stop Being an Oversharer in Person and on Social Media
Do you find yourself sharing details about your life with a total stranger? Or, maybe you look back on a conversation with a coworker and realize you were talking the entire time. 36 Whether you overshare to fill awkward silences or just because you don’t know what else to talk about, we’ve got you covered: we’ve collected the best tips to avoid oversharing.
Pause for 1 to 2 seconds before speaking.
Sometimes we talk without thinking, and end up sharing more than we mean to. 37 That way, you can think twice and avoid anything you don’t want to talk about.
38
Maybe a conversation is headed in a direction that carries a lot of emotional weight for you. If you don’t want to talk about something (relationship problems, past trauma, grief, etc.), casually turn to other subjects by giving them a compliment or pointing out something about your environment.
Set clear boundaries for yourself before talking.
In your head, make a list of topics that you don’t want to talk about with an acquaintance or a stranger. When you find yourself toward those subjects, use the methods above to avoid them. 39
Avoid social media when you’re feeling emotional.
40 When you’re upset, you might find that you post things you normally wouldn’t on your social media accounts. To avoid oversharing on social media, log out of your accounts any time you’re feeling down. If you do so, you won’t tend to tell people things online that you don’t actually want to share.
A. Avoid a conversation with emotional subjects.
B. Oversharing doesn’t always happen in person.
C.Change the topic of a conversation if it causes burden.
D. Before opening your mouth, reconsider what you’re going to say.
E. That way, you can stop yourself from oversharing from the beginning.
F. Oversharing is easy to happen, and it’s a problem that many of us deal with.
G. Realizing that we talk too much, we often feel regretful about what we say.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village in the heart of a big jungle. Surrounded by the mountains and in the shade of green trees, the villagers lived a happy life.
All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read, let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. But her parents always believed that their only child could get everything possible.
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters.
One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventures, she came upon an abandoned wooden house, which looked very old in its condition. Even though Hannah’s mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her.
She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books shone in the dust, basking (取暖) in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah’s excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with joy!
Hannah took a deep breath as she realized that she had found a hidden treasure — a gold mine of books. She knew in her heart that she had to read all of them so she quickly got to work. She dusted the books, the shelves, and what was left of the furniture. Hannah cleaned the house all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back home. But the books, oh she couldn’t get herself to leave without at least reading one. So Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at home.

Paragraph 2:
She wanted to share the “gold” with everyone, though it would be difficult. ___________

One possible version：
On the way home, she met her friends. In her excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends, thinking they would have the same feeling, but she heard roars of laughter! Hannah was confused and a little hurt too. However, she did not give up on her books. She went home and all night long, she read the tales in the books and felt greatly inspired. From that day on, she made her way to the wooden house on a regular basis. From the books, she learned the power of words and that the true strength lies within one’s own heart!
She wanted to share the “gold” with everyone, though it would be difficult. Making it her mission, Hannah started telling stories every day in her village. In order to make her stories more interesting, she added her own touch of curiosity every now and then. In the start, only one of her very good friends and her family came to the readings. But the word of her famous tales spread rapidly, causing more and more people to gather around. Seeing the interest of the people, Hannah felt very happy and fulfilled. Sometimes treasure is not always gold, it can be a tale simply waiting to be shared.
