FOMO stands for "fear of missing out". It refers to the nervous or anxious feeling a person gets when they realize they are not attending a social event either because they weren't invited or they just didn't feel like going. This belief, in tum, can create anxiety and a sense of inferiority (自卑). FOMO bothers most teens, especially if they're often online.
One way for teens to deal with FOMO is to practice what is known as reframing(重塑) thinking. Here are some tips on how teens can start to reframe their thinking.
Track negative thoughts and replace them with reasonable ones. One thing teens can do to deal with FOMO is to track their negative thoughts and feelings in a journal. Then, they can change their thoughts and replace the negative thoughts with something positive.
Encourage teens to recognize that they have limited time and cannot possibly be everywhere and do everything. So, naturally, there will be social events that they cannot attend. But this does not mean that they're necessarily missing out on something.
Turn off the technology and do something else. Turning off the technology seems like a natural cure for FOMO. But just switching the phone off does not erase the feelings that FOMO causes.
The key is to occupy yourself with something else entirely, like reading a book or baking cookies - anything that allows them to focus on something other than social media.
A. Be realistic about availability.
B. There are some negative consequences of FOMO.
C. Realize that no one lives a perfect life as described in social media.
D. It's a mental exercise designed to help them look at situations differently.
E. In general, FOMO causes people to assume that they have a low social rank.
F. Teens may still worry about missing out even if they're not in social media at all.
G. This allows them to observe how often they're feeling negative about themselves.
After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. Home is a comfortable place to sit back and relax. Below are a number of things we can do to create a healthy home environment that will help to ease the workday stress and promote our physical and mental health.
It may seem like a tiring thing to clean but there is a reason for doing so. We can remove dust by cleaning the house. Leaving layers of dust everywhere means that there is a build-up of dust. And where do these layers of dust go? Into our lungs.
Making sure the rooms are full of sunlight is also important. We may not realize it but sunlight is an important part of our growth. We all know that sunlight promotes better working conditions. Think about using a Parans system where sunlight does not reach. This technology gathers the sunlight by using solar panels(板). It can send out sunlight wherever we are.
It is also a good idea to add more plants in our house. They also give off oxygen, which can lower stress and improve our moods.
Along the lines of being green, it can also be vital to think about what things we are bringing into the house. Try to avoid specific plastics that are harmful to health. They may contain poisonous chemicals that can be breathed in, or simply absorbed through the skin.
A. However, is it as healthy as it can be?
B. Is our home as comfortable as it used to be?
C. The same thing applies to certain carpets and paint.
D. Going green will help to remove toxins(毒素) in the air.
E. Besides, it can reduce both stress and high blood pressure.
F. Cleaning the house regularly is the first thing we should do.
G. It is acknowledged that a greener lifestyle is linked to better health.

Dear Mr. Charles,
I'm written to express my thanks to you for inviting me to sing a Chinese song at Chinese Music Festival sponsor by your school. As for my singing perform, I have some ideas.
There are a number Chinese songs people from different countries love. The song named Mom in the Candlelight is my favorite. I like it because of its wonderfully theme and its accompaniment of erhu, which are one of the famous Chinese instruments. I'd like to accompany myself on erhu in person, because I hope you can prepare the one for me.
I hope to meet you as sooner as possible. And I'm sure we will have funs during the festival.
Yours sincerely.

In the story of “The crow and the Pitcher” from Aesop's Fables, a thirsty crow(乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.
Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the university of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged a bunch of heavy rubber erasers that would sink, and light plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the heavy objects into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. In contrast, it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn't realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in small amount of water at the bottom.
I shall never forget the day when the earthquake happened. It was about 5 in the afternoon and I was1along the road to my daughter's school. Our plan was to go2together. I stopped at a3to get some fresh fruit. We liked to have some fruit to eat after our swim. I was driving along a high4on my way to the school.5my road was another road which was built like a6. I was7so I put the bag of apples8 me and started to eat one. Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to9from side to side. I slowed down. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening. Perhaps something had10wrong with my car. I drove a little more slowly and then I 11the car and at the same moment the road12onto the cars in front of me. I found myself in the13. I couldn't move. My legs and feet were hurt badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was14But below me I could hear shouts and a lot of noises.
Then I realized what had happened. I had been15an earthquake. For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of16, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people17towards me. A team of people had come to18if anyone was under the19road. I called out," I'm here!" I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to my car. "How are you20?" he asked. "Not too bad," I said. They didn't get me out until the next morning.
We all often deal with people who complain about the failures and troubles of their daily lives. Life 41 to be full of problems for them. I would like to think such a life 42 unusual. If there were no problems in your job, then your 43 would hire a much less capable(有能力的) person than you to do the things that don’t 44 much thought. In the business world, those who are able to solve difficult problems are the ones who are the most 45 to the employer.
Many times the problems or challenges we face 46 us to grow and become more capable. The runner who 47 for the mile run in the Olympics by running downhill will have no chance of winning the medal 48 . The runner who trains by running uphill is far more likely to 49 the speed and endurance(忍耐力) needed to win the medal.
The 50 thing that ever happened to boxer Gene Tunney was that he 51 both hands in the ring. But at that time his manager felt that he could 52 again punch(重击) hard enough to be the heavyweight champion. Instead, Tunney 53 that he would become a scientific boxer and win the title as a boxer, not a slugger. 54 historians will tell you that he developed into one of the best boxers who ever fought. They 55 will tell you that as a puncher, he would not have had a chance 56 Jack Dempsey, who was considered by many to be the hardest 57 in heavyweight history. Tunney would never have been champion 58 he had not had the problem of his broken hands.
The 59 time you meet with a difficult climb, obstacle(障碍) or problem, you should 60 and say, “here’s my chance to grow.”
