How can I fight laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
1.Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task . Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4.Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when your are surrounded by motivated people.
5. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits .
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy fair. There were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional(情感的) intelligence.
Companies showed off their products last week at New York Convention Center.
PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual（视觉的） reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things, Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual(虚拟的) images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide.
On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company showed an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.”
At the EQtainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
1.How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?
A. By playing the role of a companion.
B. By giving direct guidance.
C. By taking photos with a camera.
D. By presenting visual images.
2.What can be inferred about Woobo from Paragraph 4?
A. It is programmed to be a teacher.
B. It may be good company for kids.
C. It can get started by itself.
D. It is intended to design games.
3.What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?
A. They are quite easy to operate. B. They can teach children numbers.
C. They help kids express themselves well. D. They can show their emotions clearly.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence
B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair
C. Toymakers are making profits in education
D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair
It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.
To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy an J Hus led this year’s Mobo— “music of black origin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.
Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects(方言) with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.
Lady Leshurr, known as the“Grime Queen5% said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.
Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social matters like the European refugee(难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.
Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.
1.What do hip-hop and grime music have in common?
A. They are invented in the UK.
B. They make a lot of loud noise.
C. They challenge traditional cultures.
D. They are full of creative ideas.
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Electronic music. B. Hip-hop.
C. Grime music. D. Black music.
3.What can be learned about grime singers?
A. They care too much about themselves.
B. They refuse to be judged by others.
C. They tend to take social responsibility(责任).
D. They show strong independence.
4.What does Skepta’s success suggest?
A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.
B. Singers should not try to be themselves.
C. Grime has become mainstream music.
D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.
