16、D. They make peoples life easier.B During one of my gardenless years as a middle-aged adult, I was back in college. I had reasoned that old people shouldnt take on loans(贷款) for schooling. How would they live long enough and make enough money to pay them off? Educational loans are a young peoples ga
17、me, I decided. So my practical, part-time college job was working as a school lunch lady at the local high school. When school fees and book charges were due, I knew I would still have at least one meal a day at school while waiting for my next paycheck（薪水）. One year I signed up for summer classes,
18、and school was out. That meant no lunch-lady paychecks or free food. Summer school started. I stopped by the book window to buy books. When I heard the total money, my heart missed a beat. Then I turned to look out of the window to compose myself. I had enough for hooks and nothing else. I wasnt goi

If you like vegetables, our summer staff always leavers their fresh produce on that table youre standing near. From then on, every few days I took little
20、bits of produce home, so did other students. Those vegetables were a lifesaver. One day, the book lady was there and I asked her to pass on my thanks.

24、sson Learned from GardeningCAre you wondering whether its worth going for a little jog? Dont hesitate, and get your sports shoes on. A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of death before the normal time.In an analysis of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark, the group of resea
25、rchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that increasing running participation would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity. The studies involved 232,149 participants over time periods ranging from 5. 5 to 35 years.On the whole, people running a
26、ny distance were associated with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not, the study shows. Running was also related with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular（心血管的）disease and cancer, respectively.Previous studies had concluded “inconsistent findings” about w
27、hether running could lower the risk of premature death, according to the researchers. Lead researcher Jim White, a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne, told CNN: “Our recent findings may encourage physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing
28、 it.”He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of “lifestyle medicine”. In their paper, which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous（剧烈的）
29、use of it has been linked with sudden heart death.Jim and his team deny this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk. However, they did say advice should be given on a case-by-case basis, as running might not be appropriate for everyone. Although running has a clear health benefit,
30、the researchers point out that higher “doses” of running may not reduce the risk of premature death further. According to the WHOs guidelines, adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week.28. What did the new study focus on?A.
31、The benefit of jog. B. Peoples lifestyles.C. Peoples living conditions. D. The risk of jog.29. What may the study contribute to according to Jim?A. Doctors quicker treatment. B. Peoples losing weight.C. Peoples involvement in running.D. Researchers promotion of sport.30. What does the underlined wor
32、d wary in paragraph 5 mean?A. Certain. B. Tired.C. Cautious. D. Confident.31. Whats the last paragraph mainly about?A. The risk of exercising vigorously.B. The reasons why people should keep running.C. The suggestions on running appropriately.D. The argument about whether running benefits people.DMo
33、st people arent good at creative problem solving for two reasons: First, they are not trained in how to be creative. Second, they dont understand group strength well enough to harness(驾驭) their power to maximize group creativity.A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new pro
34、blem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they
35、 each had worked alone.To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence(分散) and convergence(集中). Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are eval
36、uated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, it makes others think about t
37、he problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then ge
38、t them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work onthis is healthy convergence.When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start. Then collect peoples initial i
39、deas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members. Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.This simple m
40、ethod works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best. 32. We can infer that the traditional brainstorming methods _.A. enable people to form more ideas together B. greatly encourage group creativity C. actually limit group creativity D. prevent peoples involvement in the
41、problems 33. According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to _.A. think the other way round B. follow his way of thinkingC. be more confident in their own ideas D. be less willing to share their own ideas34. What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process
42、?A. Discuss the problem. B. Put down group statements together.C. Simplify the problem. D. Write down their individual descriptions.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A simple way to make group thinking more effectiveB. Difficulties in organizing group thinkingC. Differences between divergen

44、ade of research suggests that its not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. 36 . But how can we change our stress mind-set?Step 1: Acknowledge Your StressLabeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala the center of emotion and fear to the

By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: “Im stressed about because I deeply care about ”.Step 3: 39 Connecting to the
47、 core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? Think about how you might change yo
48、ur response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.Theres so much happening right now that we cant control. 40 .
