Managing Time with the Pomodoro Technique
In work, as well as in life, doing what needs to be done in order to reach our goals can be difficult. (67) __________ Luckily, one of the most efficient and most popular time management techniques is also one of the world’s simplest — the Pomodoro Technique.
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. (68) ________ Each block is known as a pomodoro, the Italian word for “tomato.” Cirillo named the system after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that he used to track his work time when he was studying as a university student. He developed a habit of doing short blocks of work followed by resting periods. He realized this method could help him work with time instead of struggling against it.
In 2006, Cirillo published his Pomodoro Technique manual for people to download free of charge. The Pomodoro technique can be applied in almost all parts of our life. It was built around a handful of important steps. First, choose a task that you’d like to get done. (69) _________ What matters is that you are ready to give it your full attention.
Next, set a timer for 25 minutes. Try to spend the full 25 minutes with your complete attention on the task. Then, when the timer goes off, take a five-minute break. Sit back, have a drink, go for a short walk, or do something else that is not work-related. Once you have completed four of these
30-minute cycles, treat yourself to a longer break that lasts 15 to 30 minutes. (70) ___________ modoro Technique, you may want to experiment a little. Some people have found that 90-minute blocks work best, while others might perform better with more flexible periods. It varies from person to person. Just remember, like many things in life, simpler is often better!

How to Make a Good Cup of Tea
In his essay, A Nice Cup of Tea, George Orwell laid out 11 basic principles to make a good cup of tea, from warming the pot beforehand to stirring the leaves before pouring. He insisted that “the water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while on e pours”.
____67____ “Some people add that one should only use water that has been freshly brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference,” he went on to state.
However, on that point at least, it seems he was wrong. William Go rman, one of Britain’s leading tea experts, has now put forward that the water used for making a cup of tea should never be boiled more than once. “Usually when people’s tea goes cold they reboil the kettle and make another
cup. ____68____ You need freshly drawn water for a good cup because reboiling it takes all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it, ruining its layered flavor.”
Besides, Mr. Gorman advocates another practice of making tea, one that Orwell would surely have protested. Mr. Gorman said, “____69____ When you microwave tea, all you’re doing is just moving the molecules around and getting it back up to a decent temperature. It is not impacting the flavor at all.”
____70____ In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout, to catch the stray leaves, which are supposed to be harmful. Actually one can swallow tea-leaves in considerable quantities without ill effect, and if the tea is not loose in the pot, it never infuses properly. They agree by doing this, you actually risk losing a good cup of tea.

The Most Important Video Game Ever Made
Time Magazine recently tasked its editorial staff with ranking
the 50 greatest video games of all time. The number one spot was
taken not by Super Mario, Zelda, or any other worthwhile
competitors, but by the oldest and most basic game, Tetris.
_________67_________ It lives on in tablets, laptops, smartphones, and game consoles (操纵板).
Why is Tetris the game we can’t stop playing? Before Tetris, video games were distractions for teens, personified by Super Mario Bros. Tetris was different. It didn’t rely on the imitation of any cartoon characters. _________68_________ The game was purely abstract, geometry (几何图案) in real time. It wasn’t just a game. It was an uncrackable code puzzle that anyone cou ld play. Your parents played Tetris, your friends played Tetris, and you’ll encounter the same story in nearly every country on Earth.
_________69_________ It has been included in the Applied Design collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It has been adapted as interactive public art projected onto the sides of buildings. And it is the subject of an annual World Championship competition.
There are plenty of fascinating classic games. Why do we keep coming back to Tetris year after year? Scientists have discovered that Tetris has a unique effect on the human brain, making it the perfect tool for scientific research. _________70_________ It is a term used in both medical and popular literature. It describes the result of repetitive, pattern-based activity that eventually shapes the thoughts and imagination of an individual. This unique effect has been used in studies at Oxford University to treat stress disorder.
That’s pretty impressive for a few lines of code written by a lone computer scientist at the Russian Academy of Science in 1984. I have no doubt the first game many of us will download on the new phone will be the latest version of the most important game in history, Tetris.

A.Healthy yold people will require great changes in health spending.
B.They become one of the fastest growing groups for airline businesses.
C.The rise of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.
D.Health worsens with age, but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.
E.Many companies treat older workers unfairly by offering training only to younger ones.
F.Bosses may think productivity falls with age, but studies in Germany suggest things different.
Yold
The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”, as th e Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75. By continuing to work and staying socially engaged, the boomers, in their new appearance as the young old, will change the world.
The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors.
67 Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy longer. A German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive (认知的) decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.
The yold are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired in many aspects. They won’t wear indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. 68 They also spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than younger adults, so they are vital to the tourism industry. And, because of the importance of pensions, the yold are transforming insurance companies from passive distributors of fixed annuities(年金) to financial service providers for customers who want to manage their pension pots more actively.
69 They find that older workers have, if anything, slightly above-average productivity and that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all. Societies should be better off because public spending on health and pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.
Today, some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that
60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background. 70 The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and, in the process, help change attitudes towards aging itself. Section C

E. People have this mindset because this time can seem like the few precious hours when they are

F. The important point is that you’re not lying in bed at night trying to remember everything on
your mental to-do list.
How to Leave Work at Work
Some jobs have very clear lines betwe en when you’re “on” and when you’re “off,” while in others the lines are vague — or potentially nonexistent. (67) ____________
As a time management coach, I’ve found these three steps can help. I encourage you to challenge yourself to gradually implement these changes and see how much you can leave your work at work—both physically and mentally—in 2020.
Step 1: Define “After Hours”
If you have a traditional 9-to-5 job, your hours are set for you. (68) ___________ If your employer has a certain number of ho urs that you’re expected to work each week, start by seeing how
to fit those hours around your fixed personal commitments, like taking your kids to school or extracurricular activities. When do you need to start and stop to put in the proper work time?
Step 2: Have Mental Clarity
Next, make sure you have mental clarity on what needs to get done and when you will complete it. This includes having a place where you write down the many tasks that you need to do, whether that’s in a notebook, a task management app, a project management system, or in your calendar. (69) ____________ Then once you have this list, plan out your work. This planning reduce anxiety that something will fall through the cracks or that you’ll miss a deadline. The final part of increasing your mental clarity is to have an end-of-workday wrap-up.
Step 3: Get Work Done at Work
It may seem crazy to say this, but I want to encourage you to give yourself permission to do work at work. For many, they perceive “real work” as something they reserv e for post-5 or 6 pm, after everyone else has left the office or after they’ve tucked their kids in bed for the night. (70) __________ But if you want to stop feeling distracted by work after hours, you need to actually do your work during the day.
As individuals, we need a mental break to do our best work, and taking time for ourselves without the distraction of work can help us become our best selves. I can’t guarantee that thoughts about work will never cross your mind, but with these four steps, you can reduce how much you’re distracted by work after hours.

the coronavirus-stricken city of Wuhan by offering counselling over the phone or by text. Before long she was running an online support group for people being treated in one of Wuhan's makeshift hospitals tor covid-19 patients. Now Ms. Shen wonders how she should assist those losing their beloved ones because of the disease. (67)______________ .
Ms Shen is among a small army of mental-health professionals who have provided support during the coronavi rus outbreak. Hundreds of universities and charities have set up “psychological hotlines” for people suffering from depression. (68)______________ .
Such attention reflects a profound change in official and public attitudes. In recent years, the government has begun to stress the importance of mental health in the country's long-term development goals. (69)______________ . The government's “Healthy China 2030” plan，issued in 2016, called for a stronger ^mental-health service system”
(70)______________ . Zhiying Ma of the University of Chicago says that young Chinese, in particular, have grown comfortable using terms such as depression and anxiety when talking about their difficulties. A Chinese government-funded survey published in 2019 found that such disorders were becoming more common in China. The study's authors suggested that “rapid social change” was intensifying "psychological pressure and stress".
At the same time, mental-health counseling has become more widely available, particularly for those willing to pay for private treatment.

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize? Are you setting your self up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable? 67
Shame and fear are often the hidden drives of perfection. We believe that if we fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.
For the majority of us, the addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect. 68 We fear that showing shortcomings will expose us to the accusation that we’re weak. We stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to be better. There’s no thing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
69 We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too serious. Sadly, the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves are taken away from us.
A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our
mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have ma de countless mistakes.
70 Being human, perfection is impossible. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid of the shame that drives perfectionism.

A.The arguments among her New Zealand-based suppliers about the use of live animals

B.They can respond to questions, swim happily in tanks and are not harmed by close contact

D.A robotic bottle-nose dolphin cost four times more than normal dolphins but would last
much longer.
E.In nature, dolphins live in close family groups, but in captivity, they're forced to interact
with strangers.
Entrepreneurs in New Zealand are working with America designers to develop robotic dolphins that look almost exactly the same as real dolphins. 67 A robotic dolphin that can nod an answer to a child. It might not sound attractive or may even sound worrying, but as marine parks around the world are under pressure to stop using real whales
and dolphins, the creatures are an attractive alternative, their creators say.
"Marine parks have been making less money for more ten years because many people think the parks are cruel and because of the cost of live animals, but people still really to learn about
and experience these animals," said Roger Holzberg, a California designer of the life-size robot bottle-nose dolphins. 68 .
" We have to persuade marine park owners that these dolphins can make them money, even more money than live animals," Holzberg said. 69 On average,
bottle-nose dolphins live for less than 20 years in captivity but 30 to 50 years in the wild.
Melanie Langlotz, one of the entrepreneurs behind the project, has a background in
reality games. "It became clear that any large aquarium, in order to compete with any other aquarium, would need to have all the big animals on display, such as dolphins and sharks,"
she said. "The bigger, the better." 70 Finally, the group decided to use robotic animals instead of live ones. The sample robotic dolphin, Langlotz said, weights more than
270kg. A test audience was unable to guess the dolphin was not real, she added. Animal rights supporters a lso
welcomed the change, hoping robotic dolphins would replace real ones in marine
parks worldwide.

Vaccination (接种疫苗) is among the most effective ways to help us prevent diseases. For
viruses that don’t change too much — the measles virus (麻疹病毒), for example — getting
vaccinated is a once-and-for-all method to prevent you from becoming infected with the virus. If you
had two measles vaccines when you were a child, you will be protected for life.
____67____ It generally peaks between December and February. Flu vaccines cannot
protect us in the long run. There is no permanent immunity, according to Theodore Strange, associate medical director at Staten Island University Hospital in New York. ____68____
Apart from a person’s immune protection from flu vaccination declining over time, flu viruses are also constantly changing. ____69____ To develop effective flu vaccines, over 100 national
influenza (流感) centers around the world conduct year-round observation for influenza. Researchers will test thousands of influenza virus samples from patients, according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The World Health Organization also suggests three or four influenza viruses that are most likely to spread among people during the upcoming flu season.
But even when a vaccine is developed, getting it can prove to be difficult, as demand tends to exceed supply. ____70____ The availability of the flu vaccine supply does not always coincide with peak demand.
So scientists prioritize access to the vaccination. The CDC recommends key populations, such as medical staff, teachers, students, children and those aged 60 and above, receive flu vaccines. 67-70 BDFA

The Art of Man-on-the-Street Interviews
Have you ever observed the busy people of the street? Do they arouse your infinite thinking? The man-on-the-street interview may become a popular word because it is new. The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. (67) ______________ But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” (68) ______________
Hit the streets with confidence. As y ou approach people, be polite. Say, “Excuse me, I work for a certain well-known TV or radio station, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get pe ople to warm up to you.
(69) ______________ If someone tells you she is not interested, move on to the next person. Keep in mind that not everyone wants to be interviewed, so don’t get hung up on it.
Limit your time. Each interview that you get on the street sh ouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. (70) ______________
For the media, the ability to increase ratings and influence may be the only meaning they want. In fact, different people have different views towards the interview. Someone says this should be the product of the fast-food information age.

What Is Nonverbal Communication?
words, either spoken or written. Similar to the way that italicizing (斜体) emphasizes written language, nonverbal behavior may emphasize parts of a verbal message.
(67) ______ For instance, in “The Advancement of Learning”(1605), Francis Bacon observed that “the features of the body do reveal the tendency and inclination of the mind in general, but the motions of the facial expressions and parts do not only so, but do further reveal the present humour and state o f the mind and will.”
Psychologists Paul Ekman and Wallace Friesen (1969), in discussing the interdependence that exists between nonverbal and verbal messages, identified six important ways that nonverbal communication directly affects our verbal messages. First, we can use nonverbal signals to emphasize our words. (68) ______ Second, our nonverbal behavior can repeat what we say. We can say yes to someone while nodding our head. Third, nonverbal signals can substitute for words. Often, there isn’t much nee d to put things in words. A simple gesture is enough. Fourth, we can use nonverbal signals to regulate speech. (69) ______ Fifth, nonverbal messages sometimes contradict (与…矛盾) what we say. A friend tells us she had a great time at the beach, but we’re not sure because her voice is flat and her face lacks emotion. (70) ______ Being upset could mean we feel angry, depressed, disappointed, or just a bit on edge. Nonverbal signals can help to make clear the words we use and reveal the true nature of our feelings.
