任务型阅读

We all know that exercise is great for you. But let's be honest. Here I am going to share my top reasons for working out.

Exercise can completely change your feeling. When you work out, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽).You will feel better after a workout than you did before it. Next time you're having a bad day, try going for a fast-paced run or taking a spinning class (单车课程), and the day won't seem so bad after all.

 Whenever I move to a new city or work, I look for exercise classes, where you can always meet like-minded people. You can support each other during a difficult workout. And you all share a collective feeling of happiness when the hard class finishes!

Exercise makes you feel confident. We all know the physical effects of exercise on our bodies but we don't always talk about the mental effects.This new feeling might even help in your work or social life.

Exercise makes you feel strong and fit. Running 30 minutes every day helps you keep healthy and makes you feel a sense of achievement. It's a great feeling doing something you couldn't do before and knowing it's a result of your hard work.

So, next time you're feeling down, put your trainers on and get sweating. It might not be easy in the beginning for most people.

A. Exercise helps you become sociable.

B. Exercise helps you reduce stress and anxiety.

C. That will give you a rush of happiness.

D. You can get to know each other well and make close friends.

E. But I promise you will feel much better once you've finished.

F. Sometimes finding that motivation to work out can be a little difficult.

G. Exercise might give you belief in yourself from being comfortable with your body and appearance.

Third-Culture Kids

    Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!

    The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.

    For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} She did not share the same values as her friends' even years after going back home.

    While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.

A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.

B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.

C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.

D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.

E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.

F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn't know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.

G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.
