How Can I Fight Laziness?

    Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

    . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

    Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive（主动的） approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.

    Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.

    Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

    Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A．To fight family laziness, set an example.

B．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

C．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

D．Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.

F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

How You Open Your Car Door Matters to Cyclists

    The "Dutch reach” isn't a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge. It's a simple move that can help prevent harm to cyclists. And you might keep your car door safe in the process, too.

    Typically, a person sitting in the driver's seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way.  But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may unknowingly create an obstacle for a passing cyclist. The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike. The car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.

     However, the car door design and long-time habits have made the process automatically. Luckily, there's a simple way to solve the problem. Open your car door with your other hand, using the Dutch reach. So instead of using your left hand, reach for the door handle with your right hand. At the very least, you'll look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic.

    The Dutch are used to opening their car doors this way. All Dutch are taught it. It's part of regular driver education. The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years in the Netherlands. In 2016 an American named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project. He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States. Charney's efforts may be paying off.

A. This will force you to turn your body.

B. Pull the handle and the door is open.

C. It is easy to do once you are used to it.

D. All you have to do is change how you open your door.

E. People are trying to change the way to open the car.

F. Clearly, the solution is for the person exiting the vehicle to check for traffic.

G. Several states now include the Dutch reach in their drivers' handbooks.

    Body language is a form of communication without using words.  This means that the person using body language is not fully aware that they are using it. Some psychologists say that body language actually communicates more information than using words.

     Human beings seem to know about other people by nature through their body language even when they speak a different verbal language. It is likely that in human prehistory, body language was an important survival skill that helped us to display and tell the difference between threats and safety.

    Body language can communicate negative emotions. When a listener crosses their arms against their chest, it can mean disagreement with the speaker. This can also be indicated when a listener leans(倾斜) away from the speaker.  It can also mean disbelief.

    Positive feelings are often shown through facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures.  When a person looks in another person's eyes and then down at their lips, it usually means they have romantic(浪漫) feelings for the speaker. Standing or sitting straight with good gesture shows that a listener is taking the person's speech seriously.

     When a person is lying, they tend to touch their face during the conversation. They may also blink(眨眼) too much or not blink at all. Body language can reveal a lot about people but it's important to remember that everyone's body language is a little different, so learning to properly "read" information through body language can be helpful in interpersonal communication.

A. Lots of body language is actually unconscious.

B. Body language includes the use of gestures and eye movements.

C. Body language can even reveal when a person's being dishonest.

D. A lack of eye contact can show a person is anxious or uncomfortable.

E. Smiling is obviously a universal sign of friendliness and appreciation.

F. People can practice body language to improve their ability to communicate.

G. Being able to "read" body language means being able to understand what a person thinks.

    We usually interpret someone looking us straight in the eye during an interaction as a sign of trustworthiness. This is at least the case in the Western world.

    But research is increasingly challenging this standard view. In a competitive environment where a negotiation is taking place  looking at another person directly in the eye can be a sign of competition and unkindness, rather than kindness.

    While folk wisdom tells us eye contact is a sign of honesty and trustworthiness, these findings were not a surprise. Animals have direct eye contact not before engaging in kind behaviors but rather immediately before an attack. We humans seem to be carrying on this tradition by looking our opponent directly in the eye before we "attack".

    What does this mean for the work place? In a competitive business environment, when taking part in negotiations or a business deal, for example, be aware that people who look you directly in the eye may not be as friendly as you think. In many Asian cultures, for example, looking a person of higher status in the eye is a sign of disrespect, while looking away signals respect.

    And this must be fully understood. This means they most likely don't apply to social environments, such as spending time with friends, family or loved ones. In these cases, direct eye contact, often referred to as a "gaze", can still be a sign of intimacy (亲密) and kindness.

A. This may help you understand eye contact much better.

B. Eye contact is a sign of challenge and threat from another.

C. The study led by Jennifer Jordan shows quite the opposite.

D. All the experiments took place in a competitive environment.

E. We use eye contact as a marker of intimacy and straightforwardness.

F. Actually it can be rather upsetting when someone avoids eye contact.

G. If you want to express honesty and reliability, direct eye contact may indicate the opposite.

Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for cardiovascular disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and potential social and psychological problems.

Of course, the CDC recommends healthy lifestyle choices—healthy eating, physical exercise.  That is to provide a safe and supportive environment where healthy lifestyle choices can be made.

What don't kids need?Too much focus on overweight leads toward more weight gain.

A new data analysis of two studies found that children whose parents considered them to be "overweight" tended to gain more weight over 10 years than children whose parents considered them "normal weight". Children whose parents label them as "overweight" had a negative self-perception about their bodies. They were engaged in more attempts to lose weight.

The clear message from this study is that dieting is more likely to lead to weight gain, not weight loss, in both children and adults. Psychology researchers Eric Robinson and Angelina Sutin argue that the stigma of being labeled overweight as a child might actually gain weight in the future.

For the study, children's height and weight were measured at age 4 or 5, and parents were asked to describe whether they thought the children were best described as underweight, normal weight, overweight or very overweight. When the children were 12 or 13, they used images to best depict what they perceived their bodies to look like and were asked whether or not they engaged in any dieting behavior. Height and weight measurements were taken again when the children were 14 or 15 years old.

A. Labels and pressure around weight and weight gain.

B. Left untreated, these problems can continue into adulthood.

C. They also point out another important way to keep kids healthy.

D. The researchers cannot be certain about what is driving.

E. They analyzed the data from a study of Australian children.

F. But it actually contributed to weight gain over the 10-year period.

G. A number of mothers in this study suffer from depression and anxiety.

In a highly-connected world where your phone is always with you, information is being collected and shared every second, "So what?" you say. "I have nothing to hide." According to some experts, people may not understand the scope (范围) of the problem.

The problem is that while companies and data brokers are hovering up all the information they can, there are no laws governing what they can do with that information. Someone knowing that you ordered three extra-large pizzas for dinner last Friday night may seem harm-less enough, but there's a deeper principle at play. As cyber expert Bruce Schneider says, "Privacy is a basic human right, and a requirement for maintaining the human condition with dignity and respect."

 We click "I Agree" without reading the user agreements. We say we will do one of those privacy checkups one day but we never quite get around to it. And that means your personal information could be used against you in the future in ways you can't imagine today.

So what can you do to protect yourself? If you're worried about your personal information getting lifted, don't hand over your name, address, or phone number easily. Besides, choose a paper receipt or no receipt rather than getting one via text or e-mail. To stop your phone acting as a tracker, also turn off Location Services for all apps except maps and others that expressly need to know where you are. You can do this in settings, under Privacy and Location.

A. Don't be so sure.

B. Yet we do little to block the spies.

C. Care about who owns and controls the data.

D. We don't want to prevent all Internet spying.

E. Privacy is not just about freedom from embarrassment.

F. You can minimize some unwanted spying by taking these measures.

G. That includes things you thought were private, such as your health data, beliefs and daily habits.

Otherwise, you'd be "completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times, "just as Alert Einstein put it. "Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses, "he said.

Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that "you must linger（流连）among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would obtain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind. "

●Shop at secondhand bookstores.

Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these hooks gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers.

Check out authors' reading lists.

In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about low to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading.

Mortimer wrote that "one way to understand them is to read the books they read. "

●Make the final decision by yourself.

It's you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.

A. Interest is the best teacher.

B. Great authors are great readers.

C. Leave some room for older works.

D. Learn more about those great authors.

E. Don't jump too quickly from book to book.

F. There's no "best books" list that everyone should follow.

G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections than secondhand book owners.
