How to Overcome Challenges in Your Life
We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you'll overcome quite a bit.
Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through.1. If you develop that mindset(心态), you'll get it done.
Stay calm and coolheaded. Remain calm when you're facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You can't solve problems when you're panicking. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. Think things through calmly.
Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don't give up.2.
Learn what made you fail and overcome these challenges.Simplify the challenge you're facing. Make the challenge easier than it is.Start by breaking it down into steps. As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will overcome them.
3. To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It's our own mental stability that's the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you'll actually be able to do it.
A. Stay positive and confident.
B. Most people will avoid any challenge, because they're scared of failing.
C. Develop that confidence in saying there's no way you're going to fail at this.
D. Pick yourself up, and learn from why you've failed, and move on in a positive direction.
Photos of the moon are beautiful if taken well, but it can be very hard to get a picture of the moon that doesn't look blurry! In order to take a perfect picture of the moon, apart from a highquality camera, the associated equipment and the skills to set up your camera, you also need to pick a proper time and a good place.
Choose your favorite moon phase. The moon can be photographed in any phase except the new moon, which is not visible to Earth. The first quarter, half, and third quarter phases provide high contrast that allows you to see the craters(坑) in greater detail, while the full moon is a dramatic choice for a skyscraper. What phase you choose is up to your personal preference, but it's best to have a phase chosen before going out to photograph the moon.
Learn when the moon rises and sets. When the moon sets or rises, it is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger and closer. This makes it much easier to photograph! Check an almanac(年历) or a weather app for moon rising and setting times in your area.
Pick a clear night. Clouds, fog, and air pollution will blur your photographs. Check a weather app or watch the weather forecast before leaving for your session and while photographing. A clear night with low smog content and no rain is best for moon photography.
Choose a location away from direct light sources. The moon appears bright because it reflects the light of the sun, and additional light from streetlights, homes, and cars can make the moon appear duller and blurrier in pictures. It is fine if there is light in the distance, but be sure that you are not photographing close to another light source.
1.Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “blurry”？
A. Unclear. B. Transparent.
C. Confusing. D. Ugly.
2.Why is the new moon not a perfect choice when taking a photo of the moon?
A. Because the new moon is not enjoyed by most people.
B. Because the new moon is visibly seen from the earth.
C. Because it appears at the earliest time of a month.
D. Because the new moon can't be photographed on Earth.
3.Which of the following is not a must to take a perfect photo of the moon?
A. A highquality camera. B. The skills to set up the camera.
C. A weather app. D. A suitable location.
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A. How to select a camera for a perfect moon photo.
B. How to pick a time and place for a perfect moon photo.
C. What the necessary skills are to take a perfect moon photo.
D. Why the new moon is a bad choice for a perfect moon photo.
