I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years. I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season. So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors -- first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter. I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.) While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home? 1.What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Coincidence. B.Expectation. C.Unwillingness. D.Motivation. 2.Which of the following words can best describe the author? A.Imaginative and outspoken. B.Hard-working and serious. C.Homesick and easy-going. D.Anxious and painful. 3.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To describe his dream to be a free bird. B.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown. C.To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown. D.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.

In the world of digital health, Silicon Valley-based Mindstrong stands out. It has a remarkable team and tens of millions of funding. It also has a fascinating idea--its app, based on mental functioning research, can help detect troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on person’s smartphone usage--how quickly they type, for instance. The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state. The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern--so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day. If the habits change, slower or more anxious than normal, the app can warn a health care provider. The promise of this technology has made Mindstrong incredibly popular since it was launched last year; already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to apply the company’s app to patients. Does the app live up to its promise? There’s no way to tell. Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,” said Rosalind Picard, a researcher at MIT Media Lab, who is familiar with Mindstrongs work. “It has passed the gold-standard clinical tests for depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Paul Dagum, the company’s founder. “We’re confident, and we’re already seeing some really exciting results.” Mindstrong officials said that among their most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week, kind of like a weather app for your mood. “For a clinician or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,” Dagum said. 1.What can Mindstrong’s app do? A.Improve its users’ mental health. B.Get its users to type more quickly. C.Discover its users’ mental state. D.Work out the causes of its users’ trouble. 2.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The ways of collecting data. B.The app’s working principle. C.The analysis of typing habits. D.The development of the app. 3.What is Rosalind Picard’s attitude towards the app? A.Skeptical. B.Positive. C.Uncaring. D.Defensive. 4.What can we infer about Dagum’s opinion on the app? A.The app has a powerful effect on anxiety. B.The app can also predict weather conditions. C.Care providers could be advocates of the app. D.Doctors benefit more from the app than their patients.

5 ways to focus your mind 1. Focus with a purpose The mistake most people make is lacking a clear purpose -- they want to be more focused, but don’t know what for. Avoidance is the mother of distraction. If you don’t have a concrete reason to stay focused, your mind will jump from one thing to another. Training your mind to pay attention requires something to focus on. 1. When you don’t have a purpose, it’s easier to get distracted. Conversely, having a clear ‘why’ will help you stay focused. 2. Solve a real problem Most of the times, we are doing meaningless work. We jump from one task to another without accomplishing anything. We end solving the wrong problem and lose our focus. You have to decide what your priorities are—focus on what will advance your daily, weekly or monthly goals. Learn to say no to the rest. 2.. Those who lack focus are busy fighting urgent, but irrelevant fires. 3. Eliminate(消除) other options 3., it’s harder to get distracted. Create rules where you can’t start a new activity until you finished another one first. For example, in a good day, Pink leaves his office at 10-10:30. On a bad day, he might stay ‘disconnected’ until 2 or 3 PM. When you eliminate all options, it’s easier to focus on the only thing that’s left. 4. 4. When your work and your mental state are not aligned (使一致), they create an emotional disagreement. Focusing is hard, Dealing with this stressful feeling becomes an additional distraction. Adapting your work to your mental state increases your focus. Learn to understand the types of work you do and align them with your mental states. 5. Set deadlines Deadlines are more than bringing your goals to life. Yes, committing to a specific date increases your chances to achieve an objective. However, the power of deadlines lies in creating a constraint. Limitations benefit both creativity and productivity—by challenging ourselves, we increase our focus.5.. A. Take advantage of your mental state B. Focusing requires having an intention for your attention C. Combine your action with your mental state D. Using deadlines smartly can motivate you with less pressure E. When you don’t have choices F. Focus on important things and suppress urgency G. When you create some rules
