What time of day can you think most quickly? Are you a morning person?" Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain going? A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.

    Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body's temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help your body's temperature rise quickly.

    But everyone's body clock is different and some are special. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day." Evening people will work later, but work better towards the end of the day.

    Research shows that we're better at some activities at certain times of the day." Physical performance is at its best between 3p. m. and 6p.- m.-,- so it's better to exercise later in the day.

    Between noon and'4p. m. , people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after, a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 p.m. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon.

    Finally'it is best to eat when we' re active. This allows our body to burn calories (卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.

    There are some skills for students to listen to the teachers in class, which means you're going to have to practice them. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    One of the things you'll need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn't wander(漫游). It's easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you are not interested in the subject. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

   Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you'll feel tired and bored. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Not only does this show respect to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn't be, it can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.

    Finally, you need to take notes because you will not remember everything the teacher said. You'll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Listening isn't always easy, but if you follow these simple steps, you'll be much more successful in your classes.

Emotions play a critical part in our lives and are contagious (传染的) unless you know how to actually control them. Let me give you an example here: {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you are with your loved ones, if they feel happy then you feel happy. And if they feel angry or sad then so {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you. Starting to get what I was talking about in the beginning? Should you be feeling {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that? In certain situations yes, but every time, no! You may find it very hard to believe but it is NOT our responsibility to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} their feelings, this is something that they have to do themselves. Apart {#blank#}5{#/blank#} this, we must also learn to control our feelings, and never ever be controlled by our own feelings. Let me give you my own example here. In the middle of a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} between your and your partner, they will say, "You really hurt my feelings". Sometimes, you might even say: "You are making me {#blank#}7{#/blank#}". What does this imply? It means that you have allowed the other {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to emotionally control you. Whenever this happens, you start blaming yourself, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} for the emotions that others are feeling. This is known as emotional reflection, you must learn to control this. What {#blank#}10{#/blank#} be your course of action here? It might seem rude when I say this but you really need to hear it. YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW OTHERS FEEL! 

①China published the world's first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration.

②"These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations," Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. "They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars."

③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. "As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs," said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher.

④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China's Chang'e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used.

⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1: 2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12,341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked.

⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang'e-6 task would also use the atlas. "Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support," he explained.

⑦"Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers," said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. "It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology."

When spring comes, flowers begins to bloom(开花). Signs of new life are everywhere. For students in the US, this means a vacation is on its way. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} So while students from one town are on vacation, their neighbors in the next town might have classes as usual.

Spring vacation is also known as" spring break". During this time, students have one to two weeks off from school.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Some schools plan the vacation to take place on the same week as Easter(复活节) . Not all schools do this, though. Since Easter is always on a Sunday, students who celebrate the holiday do not need to worry about missing school.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Teachers usually don't give homework over the break, so students can spend their days and nights free from school- time stress.

There are lots of ways to spend the time. Some families go on vacation, visit a new state or even a new country. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Or students may enjoy the break by relaxing at home, reading books and watching movies, or visiting friends' houses.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} On a ten- day trip, for example, students might go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy. These trips are often expensive, but they give students an unusual chance to see other parts of the world.

When students return to school, they are relaxed and ready to finish the school year.
 

①PUA stands for "Pick-up Artist." It started as a term for people who use clever ways to influence their interactions (交流) with others, especially between lovers. This idea has grown, and now it also means people use tricks to control others in the workplace and online. It's very helpful to know about PUA because it can deeply influence how you feel about your development. Here are some common behaviors to be careful.

②Sometimes people who use PUA tricks criticize a lot. They might tell you that you're always doing things wrong. It is just a way to make you feel sorry about yourself rather than helping you improve. They may also try to keep you away from your friends and family. This makes you depend on them, and gives them more control over you. Another trick is called gaslighting (煤气灯效应). For example, you remember something clearly, but they keep saying it didn't happen. They want you to doubt (怀疑) what you know is true.

③To avoid PUA behaviors, there are several steps you can take. First, learn to tell what healthy friendships and relationships look like. Being confident is also important because it will be not so easy for others to trick you. Besides, you should be brave to say no when something feels wrong. What's more, talking to someone you trust like a teacher can be very useful.

④Knowing these signs and how to deal with them can help you have better relationships. It's like building a strong foundation (基础) for happy and healthy relationships as you get older.
