I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.

For my 10th birthday, my sister and I Were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.

This statistic is depressing, so it's important forms to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action. I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.

Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.

Need for closure is a psychological term that describes a person's desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.

What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation we're in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we're rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we're wrong and even how

creative we are.

In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It's called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower people's need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they'll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.

In making any big decision, it's not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldn't be rushed. The problem is that we don't keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you're under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it's even more important to think twice.

32.How does "need for closure" probably come into being?

A.By nature.

B. By accident.

C. By acquiring.

D. By imitating.

33.It can be inferred that a high need for closure.

A.brings about more stress

B. causes discomfort and uncertainty

C. leads to not so good decisions

D. promotes one's creativity

34.In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants ' need for closure by telling

them to.

A.be cautious about their judgments

B.value their first impression

C.be responsible for their boss

D.pay little attention to the consequences

35.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.

B.Some serious consequences of making decisions.

C.Other approaches to making important decisions.

D.More helpful solutions to high need for closure.

Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water. As we all know, drinking water benefits your skin, muscles and organs. 36

The major reason for that is related to human biological needs. When you're a baby ，you，re 75 percent water. Then, as the years get higher, you get drier. 37It helps you lose weight, according to a study from the University of Birmingham.

The researchers found that drinking 500ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10 more pounds than those who did not. 38All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels. 84 overweight adults were involved. Among them 41 were told to "preload" with water, while 43 were told to control their water intake before eating. After 12 weeks, the participants instructed to "preload" with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average. In addition, the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks. 39

Dr. Helen Parretti, a lecturer at the University of Birmingham, had this to say of the study: 40Just drinking 500ml of water, three times a day, before your main meals may help reduce your weight... and this could be an easy way for weight loss. Furthermore, it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight, making a potential contribution to public health.

A.Another reason to drink water is right here.

B.The study began with a weight management consultation.

C.The beauty of these findings is that losing weight is simple.

D.But not everyone can get access to tap water in some areas.

E.It also helps prevent certain diseases and improve your mood.

F.In contrast, those preloading once a day or never, lost just 1.76 pounds.

G.So kids should drink more water instead of coke to keep healthy.

Goal setting seems to be a hot topic, yet it's easy to know about but difficult to practice.

People set goals, work hard at them for even a few months, and then 41them. Next year, they set the _42_goals. But why do so many people do it? They may be making goals too _43_. But that isn't to say that they aren't _44_goals. They need to be broken apart into smaller and _45_ pieces. Make spoon-size goals and you'll accomplish them _46_.

Many people are probably unwilling to _47_you to reach your goals. They're _48_with you when you have your own goals. They may even be enthusiastic about your _49_to change something or accomplish something new. _50_, as you change and accomplish, they may not like it. Why? It's usually because your changes and accomplishments _5l_ them that they could be doing it, too... _52_ they aren't!

You may have filled your _53_ with so many things that there's little _54_ for your goals to grow. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with _55_, as goals are always achieved step by step. Be _56_ about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often comes when you know what to _57_, rather than what to include in your life.

Goal setting is like the pig and chicken walking out early one morning. The chicken became really _58_ when she saw a sign: "Ham & Eggs, $2. 99". She said to the pig, "Look, we've got double billing again. " The pig said, "That's _59_ for you to say! For you, it's all in a day's work. For me, it's total commitment Goal setting is all in a day's work. Goal _60_ is total commitment.
