When stress affects your sleep on a nightly basis, it sets you up for a terrible insomnia (失眠) that forces you to turn to sleeping pills.
Target (把…作为目标)the enemy
"Every night a couple of hours before bed, sit down and make a list of all the problems you have to deal with," says Donna Arand, director of Kettering Hospital Sleep Disorders Center. "Next to each item, write a solution or plan." That way, if thoughts of your problems arise as you're trying to sleep, you can tell yourself, "I've got a plan and I'll work on it tomorrow."
Balance your work and activities
But a joint study of 314 workers found that workers with higher levels of enjoyable activities such as exercise, hobbies, and social activities, were able not only to come back from workplace stress better than their always-on-the-job coworkers but also sleep much better than others.
Deal with less
Four of the top ten stressors we experience are related to money. And how should we spend it? Given that, doesn't it make sense that if we want less and are satisfied with less--smaller houses, and simpler forms of transportation--our stress levels will go down?
Give a nod to a nap (打盹)
It's doubly unfortunate that stress makes it hard to get to sleep because, chemically speaking, the antidote (对抗手段)to stress is sleep. There is a way to deal with it. It's true that one nap of up to 90 minutes between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00 P.M. during the day, will make people energetic again.
A. That's by taking a nap.
B. Here's how to step back from that state.
C. Now there is some advice on how to keep energetic.
D. When you're ready for bed, put the list by the bedroom door.
E. It was reported recently that on-the-job stress has reached the worst levels.
F. How can we get it?
G. Does stress always interrupt you?
Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We all want to succeed, whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails?{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
1）Identify your core values.
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.
2）Pick a goal and focus on it.
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
3）Set a deadline for success.
Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.
4）{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Failure can't be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don't fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn't. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and move on!
A. Stick to your goal. B. Make the right decision. C. I've made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them. D. Sit and reflect on what you value most. E. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time. F. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success. G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step. |
These days when someone says a computer has a bug (小虫子) in it, usually they mean that there's a problem with one of its programs. Maybe your computer crashed when you were in the middle of a game.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
But back in the early days of computers, a woman named Grace Hopper was part of a team that discovered the very first computer bug.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} She had been invited to help program a new computer, the job of which was to quickly deal with the math problems ships used to find their way.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Then it translated the patterns of holes into the math problems it was supposed to solve.
One afternoon in 1947 Hopper and her team were running a program. But the computer wasn't giving them the right results.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} They finally ended up taking the computer apart, looking for problems. What did they find? It was a moth (飞蛾)! The moth was blocking some of the holes in the paper—{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Some people think Hopper was the first person to use the word “debug” to mean “get rid of the problems in a computer”.
A. What could be wrong? B. Hopper was a mathematician. C. Who had operated the computer? D. Hopper was a hardworking scientist. E. She thought it was funny that it was a real one. F. Or you got an error message when you tried to go to a website. G. The computer worked by reading instructions from a long piece of paper with holes in it. |

Making Short Videos
"A picture is worth a thousand words or so", they say. Well, motion (运动) pictures can contain even more memories. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some apps you can use to make your own short videos.
Qupeiyin.cn
Reciting lines from movies is an effective and classic way to learn English. So what if you could dub (配音) recordings accompanied by movie clips (剪辑) and then share them with friends? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} You name it. By contributing your voice, you can either mimic (模仿) the original soundtrack or create something completely new of your own.
Shorts
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}With the help of the Shorts app, you can make pictures in your album into a slide show. Choose from any of the off-the-shelf themes—"holiday", "travel", "friendship" and "party" for example—each matched with its own theme music and slide background. But if you're not satisfied with the combinations, feel free to do a little change by adding text to the pictures or replacing the music with something in your own playlist.
Viva Video
Video making and editing once seemed awfully hard. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} But this app will ease you into the field with straight-forward functions and clear direction to help you "create your own video story". Apart from filter, stickers and text, the coolest part of this app is that you can write the narratives yourself and add your own voice to the video. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Viva Video requires a relatively powerful phone to run smoothly.
