Lifestyle changes are a process that takes time and requires support. Here are five tips from the American Psychological Association to help you make lasting, positive lifestyle and behavior changes.
Make a plan that will stick.
Your plan is a map that will guide you on this journey of change. 1. Want to exercise more? Detail the time of day when you can take walks and how long you’ll walk. Write anything down, and ask yourself if you’re confident that these activities and goals are realistic for you.
Start small.
After you’ve identified realistic short-term and long-term goals，break down your goals into small，manageable steps that can be measured. If your long-term goal is to lose 20 pounds within the next five months, a good weekly goal would be to lose one pound a week. 2.
Change one behavior at a time.
Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time, so replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones requires time. Many people run into problems when they try to change too much or too fast. 3.
4.
Whether it is a friend, co-worker or family member，someone else on your journey will keep and motivated and accountable. Perhaps it can be someone who will go to the gym with you or someone who is also trying to stop smoking.
Ask for support.
Accepting help from those who care about you and will listen strengthens your commitment. If you feel unable to meet your goals on your own, consider seeking help from psychologists.
Making changes takes time and commitment, but you can do it. 5. Minor missteps on the road to your goals are normal and okay. Resolve to recover and get back on track.
A. When making your plan, be specific.
B. Just keep it in mind that no one is perfect.
C. Find a partner.
D. Communicating with your friends.
E. Careful planning means setting small goals and taking one step at a time.
F. To improve your success, focus on one goal or change at a time.
G. By taking steps gradually you’ll feel successful in meeting your goal.
Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free（非乳制的）options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!
Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich
The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast（酵母）. This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.
The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water. Best of all since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.
The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’ milk alternatives available to consumers.

The belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.
In the 1930s, the British economist（经济学家）John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available, In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.
Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.
Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace substitution of machines for humans has been seen previously.
But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs, Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.
This stability should not come as a surprise, There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.
One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.
So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people’s fears.

2.How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?

B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.
C. There are more goods for people to choose from.

4.What is the author's opinion about the introduction of new technology?
