Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings {#blank#}1{#/blank#}of satisfying hunger. Believe it or not, we've all been there. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a big test? But when done a lot — especially {#blank#}3{#/blank#} realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} steps to change it. One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied {#blank#}6{#/blank#} major life events, like a death or a divorce. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses {#blank#}7{#/blank#} cause someone {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(seek) comfort in food.

We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. That's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

    Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.

    We all know that the Friday after Thanksgiving means a mad dash to the shopping centre for ridiculous sales. But how did this bargain shopping get {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) start?

    In fact, the first Black Friday had nothing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) with Thanksgiving or shopping. The origin of Black Friday as we know it today started in Philadelphia during the 1950s and 1960s. Crowds of people would come to town the day after Thanksgiving for the annual Army­Navy football game to be held the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (follow) Saturday. Streets and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (store) were always crowded, which was great for business but made easy­pickings for shoplifters (行窃者). Local police called this “Black Friday”. Not only did they have to deal with extra traffic {#blank#}5{#/blank#} shoplifting, but they had to work extra hours and couldn't request the day off.

    The term didn't go national {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the late 1980s, but the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (explain) changed. While shopkeepers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (general) suffered financial losses most of the year, the increase of holiday shoppers marked the first day of real profit. In traditional accounting (会计) practices a few years ago, losses {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (record) in red ink, and profits in black ink. So the day after Thanksgiving, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} companies go “into the black” and make a profit, became Black Friday.

    Living a life with meaning and purpose is the key to improving your psychological well-being. Your purpose doesn't{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(necessary), have to involve changing the world or finding a career {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(devote) to helping others. Instead, you might make it your purpose to be kind every day.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you feel like your life lacks purpose, don't worry. There are many ways you can find purpose in life and build a life that has more meanings. You can begin by thinking about the legacy(遗赠) you would like to leave behind. Write down how you'd like to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remember) at the end: of your life, or think about the impact you want to leave {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the planet. Then, establish some{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(objective)that can help you reach those goals. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) toward your goals will give you a reason, to get out of bed every day, beyond earning money.

    Thinking positively{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(improve) your psychological well-being. In turn, as your psychological well-being improves,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} becomes easier to think positively and feel good overall. Spend time thinking about some of the best memories - of your life. Whether it's a family vacation you went on 10 years ago or you won an award at work two years ago, recalling the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy) times in your life can bring more positivity to your thinking.

There is one famous poem in Tang poetry, which reads: "I left home when a mere young man, and returned in old age. My native accents {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(remain) unchanged, but my ear - lock had grown thin". This poem {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(apparent) shows language is not only a tool for communication, but also the indicator of people's cultural identity. In a linguistic(语言学的)sense, dialect refers to the variety of a specific language {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( cause) by different geographical, social and cultural contexts.

Owing {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the vast areas and large population of China, diverse dialects can {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(find) in this great land, such as the Wu dialect in Shanghai, Hakka and Cantonese. However, it cannot be denied that since the popularization of Putonghua in China, the importance of dialects is lowering among Chinese people. To make matters {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bad), some dialects have even disappeared due to the adoption of Putonghua {#blank#}7{#/blank#} is required in public places like schools and companies. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(consider) the cultural significance of dialects, nowadays both Chinese {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(official) and common people are paying careful attention to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} preservation of dialects because it's the treasure of Chinese culture and art.
