well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won't affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.

According to an essay published by the U．S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao—the plant from which chocolate is produced—may mean that it will soon become extinct.

Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator, with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It's predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn't lie in increased heat, however，but in lower humidity(湿度), as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.

“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants，it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分) loss，” Michon Scott, the essay's author, wrote.

To help fight this problem，researchers from UC Berkeley in the U．S. are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to U．S. News. In the meantime, the U．S. company Mars, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change.

“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together，” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.

The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.

语篇导读由于气候变化，为巧克力提供原料的可可树未来可能会灭绝，这可能将导致巧克力成为历史。各方正在努力采取措施，试图拯救可可树。

4．What could make it hard for cacao plants to survive around the equator in the future?

A．The increased heat there.

B．The higher humidity there.

C．The decrease in rainfall there.

D．The moisture loss in the soil and plants there.

解析D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段可知，赤道附近的可可树未来很难存活的原因在于气温的升高导致土壤和植物中的水分流失，故选D项。

5.What does the underlined word “offset” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A．Hold back. B．Make up for.

C．Protect. D．Accept.

解析B词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的In other words可知，本句是对第三段最后一句的解释说明，应与其含义相近。由此可知，此处应表示，高温带走了土壤和植物中更多的水分，而降雨量不太可能增加到足以弥补流失的水分，据此可推断，offset意为“弥补”，故选B项。

6．What will the U．S. company Mars do to help cacao survive?

A．It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.

B．It will apply gene editing technology in planting cacao.

C．It will give financial support to help fight climate change.

D．It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.

解析C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句可知，美国Mars公司将为减轻气候变化带来的影响投入10亿美元，即为应对气候变化提供资金援助，故选C项。

7．What may be the best title of this text?

A．Chocolate Could Become History

B．Work Together to Fight Climate Change

C．How Do We Grow Cacao in the Future?

D．How Do Cacao Plants Affect Climate Change?

解析A主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段最后一句可知，巧克力可能会成为历史，故选A项。

C

Avenue around 5：30 p．m. on Friday when she lost her footing and threw herself down the gap, giving her a deep cut that went right down to the bone. Her fellow passengers helped push the train to the side and free her, but even as she thanked them, shaking and weeping for the pain, she begged them not to call an ambulance because it cost too much. “Do you k now how much an ambulance costs？” she said. “It's $3,000.

I can't afford that.”

The woman's heartbreaking requests have caused again the debate over health care in the U．S., with many describing it as “barbaric” that someone should be forced to choose between life and debt.

“It is absolutely shameful that someone has to worry about the cost of an

ambulance in a situation like that. My thoughts are with her，” said the Twitter user Yalina. Another wrote：“We need universal health care badly. An accident shoul dn't force you to choose between a heavy debt and permanent injury/death.”

Actually, Americans spend more money on health care than any other people, and health care spending rocketed by $900 billion between 1996 and 2013. By 2013, total health care spending hit $2.1 trillion. The researchers say that figure has now likely risen to more than $3.2 trillion, which equals 18 percent of the country's economy. But while the spending increased, American's life expectancy has remained short—with an average of 79 years old, compared to the global average of 83 years old.

The tweet(推特) that started the debate came from The Boston Globe reporter Maria Cramer who was on the platform when the woman got her leg trapped. The tweet has been shared and liked tens of thousands of times. Meanwhile, the victim who has not been named, was eventually taken to the Boston Medical Center, where she would need surgery.

语篇导读一位女士即使身受重伤也不愿意叫救护车的事件再次引发了美国民众对政府医疗服务的热议。

8．Which of the following best explains “barbaric” underlined in Parag raph 2?

A．Cruel. B．Painful.

C．Unwise. D．Heartbreaking.

解析A词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知，有人不得不在生命和债务之间作出选择，这是残忍的事，故选A项。

9．According to Paragraph 3, what is debated hotly?

A．Concerns over the accident.

B．Inappropriate behavior in the media.

C．Dissatisfaction with U．S. health care.

D．Anger at the poor ambulance service.

解析C推理判断题。第三段描述了美国民众在媒体上对此事的评论，表达了对美国医疗服务的不满，故选C项。

10．What do we know about U．S. health care?

A．High health care spending has its intended effect.

B．American's life expectancy is below the global average.

C．The government has cut down on health care spending.

D．More health care spending increases life expectancy greatly.

解析B细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，美国民众的预期寿命低于世界平均水平，故选B项。

11．What is the best title for the text?

A．I Can't Afford That

B．An Accident Caused a Revolution

C．US Health Care Spending Is Rocketing

D．A Passenger Got Caught

解析A标题归纳题。本文由一名女士因负担不起医疗费用而乞求不要叫救护车这一事件引入话题，这一事件再次激起了美国民众对医疗服务的热议。A项既是该女士的原话，也是引发热议的根源所在，故选A项。

D

scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.”

His actions in this scene are very British.If Roberts' character were from Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault.But this doesn't happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the U．S.

A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street—regardless of whether they are responsible or not.In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situation s. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry？” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No. I am sorry！” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry.

Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the U．K., thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system.“We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also fo r not really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts.For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry.To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry！”

True manners are about being considerate, and today's constant use of

apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were.The word “sorry” has lost some of its original meanings.

Do you see my point? Sorry.It might just be a British thing.

语篇导读本文用电影《诺丁山》里的一个场景引出话题——英国人爱说“sorry”，分析了产生这种现象的原因。

12．Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?

A．To give an example of British modesty.

B．To introduce different ways of saying sorry.

C．To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the U．K.

D．To draw our attention and lead to the topic.

解析D写作意图题。一般来说，文章开头的故事用来引起读者的兴趣，导入主题，再结合下文内容可知，此处也符合这一写作手法，故选D项。

13．Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?

A．People should not apologize if they are not responsible.

B．Americans care less about manners than British people do.

C．That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.

D．British people care too much about which social class they are from.

解析C细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，Mark Tyrell认为英国人爱说“sorry”这一现象根植于英国的阶级体系，故选C项。

14．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．It's unnecessary for British people to be so polite.

B．The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.

C．People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry”．D．Using “sorry” more doesn't necessarily mean people are more polite.

解析D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，如今频繁地使用“sorry”或许意味着现在的人们没有以前那么体贴，即如今多次地使用“sorry”这个词不一定代表有礼貌，故选D项。

15．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A．To explore the best way of saying sorry.

B．To explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”．

C．To show how saying sorry has changed over time.

D．To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.

解析B写作意图题。第一段以电影场景开篇，点出话题“英国人爱说‘sorry’”，下文侧重分析这一现象产生的原因，故选B项。

Ⅱ七选五

treat victims of snakebites. The machine was created to be simple and has only two pieces of equipment: a centrifuge(离心机) and a smartphone.

For victims, surviving snakebites requires the use of a treatment, known as anti-venom. __1__,_because the victim must first know which kind of snake produces this kind of venom. The venom test machine can help address this problem.

__2__. The different protein patterns in the venom can be used to determine the type of snake. Scientist Catherine Larsen from the Technical University of Denmark(DTU) said researchers found these patterns after testing different snake venoms with different small proteins(蛋白质). Ivan Douka is also with DTU. He explained that the machine works by using a smartphone app from the patient.To create the sample(样本), the patient's red blood cells need to first be separated. This is done by using a centrifuge. __3__,_and 30 minutes later, the sample is placed into another container, which is used with a piece of equipment that analyzes the liquid by measuring the amount of light that is absorbed by it. After that, connect that equipment to a smartphone, which has an app to show the results. __4__.

Andreas Laustsen, another DTU scientist, said the test machine will help doctors make quicker, possibly life-saving decisions. __5__. Those bites kill at least 100,000 people, and cause around 400,000 people to lose their arm or leg.

A．A smartphone is fixed onto a container

B．The sample is then put into a special container

C．Snake venom is made up of various protein patterns

D．However, receiving the correct form of treatment can be difficult

E．The proteins in snake venom have very specific effects on other creatures F．The app then identifies the type of snake and suggests the most effective anti-venom

G．The team's work could help about five million people who are bitten by snakes each year

Dear Tom，

I am delighted to hear from you. You asked me in your last letter about the mobile payment in China and the following information may give you a rough sketch.

Mobile payment has made people's daily life more and more convenient in China. We can buy breakfast on the street and tickets at the railway station by scanning the QR codes. This is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese—allowing us to bid farewell to wallets and bank cards.

Mobile payment has greatly changed people's lives in China. I'm wondering if mobile payment is popular in your country.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours，

Li Hua

高三英语第一轮复习计划

高三英语第一轮复习计划 一、多听老师的，少自作主张 虽然同学们之前经历过很多考试，但高考对于我们来讲还是有些陌生。就算有些学生在高一、高二已经做过高考题，对于自己的知识缺陷到底有哪些，高考的重点是什么也不一定有非常清晰的了解。而高三的英语第一轮复习主要就是从语法和词法两个方面帮助大家 梳理知识，并对应试策略加以指导。教高三的教师大都有着非常丰富的高考经验，也都会制定详细的教学计划，因此我们在安排自己的复习内容时要尽量和老师同步，把当天复习的内容彻底搞清楚，并辅以相应的练习加以巩固。遇到不会的，应该第一时间请教老师，千万不要留到最后甚至弃置不管。 二、多用碎时间，少搞大突击 英语学科是非常适合利用零碎时间来学习的。五分钟的时间能干什么?也许别的学科可以安排的复习活动并不多，但是英语却有很多。比如我们可以背单词，可以做一篇速读，可以朗读一篇文章，可以做若干个单项选择，可以听听力，可以翻看任何英语的杂志、报刊甚至小说等。总而言之，时间是海绵里的水，挤挤总是有的。当然，如果我们要复习一个比较重要的语法项目，或者做一套英语试题的时候，我们也需要相对完整的时间，但基于语言学习的灵活性，同学们要培养语言学习的意识。Learning is anytime, anywhere with anyone。(学习无处不在)有些学生在制定自己的复习计划时，把一个星期中的七天分别给了不同的科目，这样做是不太科学的。正确的做

法是每天复习两至三科为宜，而英语虽然持续时间不需要很长，但每天都接触确实十分必要的。A little bit every day makes perfect(点滴铸就完美)。 三、多接触英语，少钻研语法 近几年的高考越来越重视同学们运用英语的能力，逐渐削弱了对于语法的考察。纵观一份高考英语试卷，单纯考察语法的题目几乎没有。善于观察的学生更会发现，即使是在语法聚集的单项选择题中，也是强调语境的理解。此外，还逐渐加大了词义、词语辨析的考察。完形填空的四个选项是没有语法的错误的，考察大家是否能够根据文章的意思，选择用法上最恰当的词。阅读理解更是考察大家对于篇章的理解。当然，语法并不是不重要，有很多重点的项目是需要同学们掌握的。只是提醒大家在复习的时候，要做到从语言的使用入手，而不是只对语法规则感兴趣。 四、多做高考题，少扣模拟题 要想熟悉高考的思路，最重要的一环就是做题。近五年的高考试题，特别是有些地区新课标执行起来题型发生了变化，就更需要我们适应它。在做高考题的时候，应该注意以下几个方面： 1、时间的把控。这需要同学们一次性完成一整套试题，特别留意一下每部分自己的答题时间，并科学规划，保证在规定的时间内提前五分钟完成，留有检查的余地。 2、总结一下各部分的得分情况，了解自己的强弱项。

高考真题题组训练(八) Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016全国Ⅱ,B) Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today-and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,“But I’m just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?” “Oh,sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative.Who does that for you?” “Nobody.I do it.” “Really-at night,when you’re asleep?” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?” 1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .

高考英语第一轮复习提纲

高考英语第一轮复习提纲 一、阅读理解 阅读部分考查考生阅读理解能力，而所谓阅读理解能力即是指对文章的整体和局部信息的理解和掌握情况。整体指的是文章的主旨 要义、作者的态度、意图、上下文的逻辑关系等，局部则是指分散 于文中的特定信息。我们要通读全文，详读题干，甄别选项，将题干、选项和文中具体信息结合起来，并综合运用其它解题方法、技巧，准确、快速作答。要排除个别生词的干扰，把握整体，着眼中 心大意。遇到不顺的文章先搁置，不影响整体战略。要用熟悉的做 题策略答题。 二、“七选五”阅读 注意语句的衔接，两个相邻的句子能够衔接，它们必定有信息的重叠(词语或意义)，正如两条绳子要想连结到一起，必须得打个结，我们在做题时就是要特别注意把握这些信息的结点。 三、完形填空 完形填空要求考生在掌握文章主旨大意和正确理解句与句、段与段之间的内在联系的基础上，准确判断动词、名词、形容词、副词 等的运用。考生要通览全文，了解文章脉络，特别注意第一段话对 全篇的辐射作用。注意对每个小题的四个选项进行对比甄别，根据 上下文结构和语境做出准确判断，我们要左顾右盼，瞻前顾后，上 下求索，在上下文语境中进行词语辨析。 四、短文改错 通览全文，了解大意，然后以句子为单位进行降级处理，排正求错。可将句子进行成分划分，分为主语、谓语、宾语等几个部分， 然后逐一排查，找出病疾，对症下药。看看主、谓、宾、状等成分 是否有误，看看主语和谓语、谓语和宾语的搭配是否正确，如此等等。

五、书面表达 认真审题，列全要点，确定时态。适量运用较为复杂结构的句子，但把握好准确、自然。适当分段。要特别注意内容要点、应用词汇 和语法结构的丰富性和准确性，上下文的连贯性，以及单词拼写、 标点符号和书写规范，确保审题准确到位，语言地道流畅，书写工 整大方，卷面干净整洁。 六、语篇型语法填空 1、给出动词基本形态，可以考虑三个方向：进行词性词形转化(转为名词、形容词等);填写谓语部分，可能需要填写两个或三个词;或是填写非谓语动词; 2、给出形容词，需要填写比较级、最高级，或词性词形转化， 转化为副词，或是填写反义词(前缀); 3、给出副词，填写比较级、最高级，或是填写反义词; 4、不给提示词，主要填写介词、连词、冠词和代词。我们要按 照上下文逻辑、意思进行填充，一般应按照如下的思路进行填空： 先考虑介词、连词、冠词、代词，然后考虑连接副词，最后考虑名 词和形容词(考虑到一些比较基本的搭配，同时也考虑到词性词形变 化的规律，有些名词、形容词的填空往往无法给出提示词)。

限时训练 一、阅读下面的文字，完成1～3题。(14分) 把往事调成花色 王健 很多日子是随阳光一起开放的，很多心情也是随花朵一起明媚的。 闲暇的时候，我总喜欢一个人背着相机来往于城市和乡村之间。在一个乡村古老的街道上，我看到了一堵石墙上花开烂漫，眼前一亮，我知道那将会是一个写满故事的小院。 主人是一个戴着眼镜的老者，正用放大镜认真地看着报纸，他坐在门口，A身体有些蜷曲，像棵老藤。很难相信，在这样的村庄里会有这么一个学者一样的老人。他的文雅、淡然，安静和自若的神态，让我感觉他和这些花、这个小院就是一个密不可分的整体。 耳聋，面善，和蔼可亲，很善谈，他生活在自己沉静的世界里，却出现在我的视野中。通过那些花，我知道了他是个95岁高龄的老人，以前做过教师。难怪他身上有股与众不同的味道呢！ 他告诉我，墙头上这些艳丽的花是凌霄，已经有几十年的历史了，去年有人想花1 000元买走，他没舍得。他继而又补充道，如果多点儿我就卖掉它，卖些钱好给老伴治病。 数落起这些花就好像数落着自己的子女。这些是兰，这些是莲，这是栀子，这是何首乌……我突然就想起鲁迅先生笔下的百草园，诗情画意里有一段美丽的故事。 然后他便开始数落那些子女，仿佛在数落着自己院里的那些花草。 我很想从这个高寿的老人口中知道幸福的定义。我问幸福是什么，他听不清：什么？ 后来他告诉我幸福是“什么”。

我没懂，他笑：什么都是幸福。小时候想上学堂，以为那就是幸福，后来就去了。后来想当教员，以为那就是幸福，后来真就当了教员。退休了，想安养晚年就是幸福，于是有了这满院花香相伴。现在有人能欣赏我的这些花，我也很幸福。 那么你幸福吗？他回答，我满足于我人生的任何一件事情，无论成败得失。就像我养的这些花，花开花谢，它们不会长开不败，却能在最美的时候开放…… 终于明白一个无私、无欲的老人的幸福观。能够像他院中的花一样，顺从自然、与世无争、坦然处世，就是一种美丽和幸福。 他，何尝不是开在这尘世间的一朵浮莲，B甚至是一棵开满花朵的老藤？ 他把我当作客人，我把这里当作我内心的家园，仿佛一杯茶汁泼出的茶园，至今梦里尚带几分茉莉香。而且他的花香弥漫的脸，是媚人的，沧桑中写着“生活”两个字。如果你仔细地去读，会读出更多的内容。 赏过凌霄，闻过芝香，也饮过菊花，愿意在这远离世俗的地方喝醉。感觉阳光、童年、往事和爱，还闪亮在老屋的深处，只是感觉偶尔等一个人，是偶然的缘分。在多年后，10年或者20年时给它浇水，叶年年青翠，花年年明艳，而眼睛却暗了…… 人生莫过于此：头发掉了，牙齿没了，眼睛花了，耳朵聋了，内心却十分明亮。如今，往事皆调成这满院的花色，花开了，年年更新，心就是不老的，还有爱和希望，快乐和幸福。 我突然看到那暗淡的老屋里，窗台上竟然摆放着一瓶栀子花！一个年迈老人对生活之爱，远远浓于这满院的花香，我要告诉你那是心香呵！是生命之香！ 我独自走在乡间，一位蜷曲的老人，一座破旧的老屋，一些美丽的花，美好的事物走在我的前面，我记得那老人的话：“我要把我的那些花安放在冬天的前面……”

高考真题题组训练(四) Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016全国Ⅲ,C) If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but you’ll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent. 1.What can people do at the apple events? A.Attend experts’ lectures. B.Visit fruit-loving families. C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D.Taste many kinds of apples. 2.What can we learn about Decio?

2019年高考英语新精准大一轮语法专项突破 (6)

[即时演练] A 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it’s better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they can’t make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes，“Haste makes waste.”We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives. Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. Yet, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： To live life at a slower pace is better than to live life in a hurry. There are three reasons for this.Firstly, doing things in a hurry will raise the possibility of making mistakes.Secondly, being in a hurry will not give people enough time to enjoy their life.Thirdly, doing things in a hurry raises people’s pressure and therefore is bad for their health.In brief, it is better for people to live life at a slower pace than to live life in a hurry. B
