Besides studying, its very important to choose your team wisely. Try to have a mix of men and women, and no m
25、ore than five people. Dont choose someone who is always completely sure that theyre right, in fact sometimes theyre wrong!

32、tion and mental health.Certainly, creating some delicious food takes our mind off things and gives us something to do, helping us get through the recent lockdown. People have said that mixing dough(生面团) to make bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and control. Research has shown that d

57、ing in earnest attention over his lesson.“Well, what success, George?” asked Mr. Prentice, as the family gathered around the tea-table.“I learned the lesson, father!” replied the boy, “I can say every word of it.”“Did you find it hard work?”“Not so very hard, after I had once made up my mind that I
58、would learn it. Indeed I never stopped to think, as I usually do, but went right on until I had mastered every sentence.”“May you never forget this lesson, my son!” said Mr. Prentice, “You now get the secret of success.

One thing they have learned is that chimpanzees and their natural habitats or where they live in the wild need to be protected.In 1960, a researcher nam
