Summary writing
The life of a journalist can be exciting. To be in constant pursuit of the latest news demands a curiosity that can only be rewarded by getting to "where it is happening" as soon as possible. The goal, of course, is to relate what is happening to the public as clearly as possible.
However, every journalist must be careful to report not only a vivid picture of what is happening, but a true picture. Each journalist reports his or her own version of what has taken place. Still, this version must be an actual account if the reporter is to maintain a reliable reputation.
In order to get to the truth in some news stories, a reporter must rely on the statements of someone who is on the inside of the situation. Often this insider will only talk to a reporter if the reporter promises never to reveal the insider's name. The insider usually threatens never to admit meeting with the reporter if his or her name is revealed.
Because stories of this nature often involve criminal activity, reporting them becomes a dangerous job.
This kind of work involved in obtaining news in this manner serves as an inviting situation for the underworld as well as the legal world. Members of the underworld want to find out who the insider is so that they can keep him or her quiet. Members of the legal world claim that the reporter will obstruct(阻挠)justice if he or she fails to disclose the insider's name.
Devotion has given journalism its reputation for reliability ﹣ a reliability that each journalist is expected to uphold in his or her search for truth. Supplying a truthful account of each day's occurrences is the serious contract made between reporter and the public.

Bill Gates doesn't pretend he lives in an egalitarian(主张平等的) household. When it comes to parenting his three children, the billionaire Microsoft giant readily admits his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the work raising the kids.
"My wife does 80%," Gates told a crowd of Harvard students last Thursday. Gates spent two years there taking math and computer science courses as a pre﹣law student, but never finished up his degree. "Myeldest graduates from Stanford in June, so I'm optimistic she won't fall into my footsteps," Gates joked.
1. They followed a 1970s "Love and Logic" parenting model. The core idea of the philosophy is centered on the idea of exerting emotional control, essentially minimizing emotional reactions like shouting or scolding kids.2. Gates admits he and his wife haven't been perfect at carrying out the approach.
"Can you get rid of the emotion? You can't totally do it," he said.
Aside from ruling in hot﹣blooded parent tempers, the love and logic model also stresses the importance of not leaning into rewards for kids, but instead demonstrating unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are, not what they do (or don't) achieve, like a poor test score.
"Many highly successful people struggled with grades as children," Fay wrote on his site. "3."
The model is a bit like the ideal method, in that it pushes parents to focus on asking questions of their kids and getting them to think about how to solve their own problems, instead of feeding them answers.
4.. However, he knew he wanted to do things differently with his own kids.
It wasn't the only way he set boundaries for his children while they were growing up. None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old. And they will each get about ﹩10 million of their parents fortune as inheritance,a mere fraction of the giant's roughly ﹩90 billion net worth. "We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything, but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing," Gates once told TED.
What is the single most effective way to reduce greenhouse﹣gas emissions? Go vegetarian? Replant the Amazon? Cycle to work? None of the above. The answer is: make air﹣conditioners radically better. On one calculation, replacing refrigerants(制冷剂) that damage the atmosphere would reduce total greenhouse gases by the equivalent of 90bn tons of CO2 by 2050. Making the units more energy﹣efficient could double that.
Air﹣conditioning is one of the world's great overlooked industries. Automobiles and air﹣conditioners were invented at roughly the same time, and both have had a huge impact on where people live and work.
Unlike cars, though, air﹣conditioners have drawn little criticism for their social impact, emissions or energy efficiency. Most hot countries do not have rules to govern their energy use.
Yet air﹣conditioning has done quite a lot of things to benefit humankind. It has transformed productivity in the tropics and helped turn southern China into the workshop of the world. In Europe,its spread has pushed down heat﹣related deaths ten times less than what it was in 2003, when around 70,000 people, most of them elderly, died in a heatwave. For children, air﹣conditioned classrooms and dormitories are associated with better grades at school.
Environmentalists who call air﹣conditioning "a luxury we cannot afford" have half a point, however.
In the next ten years, as many air﹣conditioners will be installed around the world as were put in between 1902(when air﹣conditioning was invented)and 2005. Until energy can be produced without carbon emissions, these extra machines will warm the world. At the moment, therefore, air﹣conditioners create a vicious cycle. The more the Earth warms, the more people need them. But the more there are, the warmer the world will be.
Cutting the impact of cooling requires three things(beyond turning up the thermostat(温度调节器)to make rooms less Arctic). First, air﹣conditioners must become much more efficient. The most energy﹣efficient models on the market today consume only about one﹣third as much electricity as average ones.
Minimum energy﹣performance standards need to be raised,or introduced in countries that lack them altogether, to push the average unit's performance closer to the standard of the best.
Next,manufactures should stop using damaging refrigerants.One category of these,hydrofluorocarbons, is over 1,000 times worse than carbon dioxide when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere. An international deal to phase out these pollutants, called the Kigali amendment, will come into force in 2019. Foot﹣draggers should approve and implement it;America is one country that has not done so.
Last, more could be done to design offices, malls and even cities so they do not need as many air﹣ conditioners in the first place. More buildings should be built with overhanging roofs or balconies for shade,or with natural air﹣circulation. Simply painting roofs white can help keep temperatures down.
Better machines are necessary. But cooling as an overall system needs to be improved if air﹣conditioners is to fulfill its promise to make people healthier,wealthier and wiser, without too high an environmental cost. Providing indoor shelters of air﹣conditioned comfort need not come at the expense of an overheating world.
1.Why does the author think air﹣conditioning is an overlooked industry?
A. Because many hot countries haven't put the energy﹣controlling rules into force.
B. Because it has caused the same impact on people's life and work as automobiles have.
C. Because it has brought great economic, physical, and educational benefits to humans.
D. Because it doesn't get the due criticism for its environmental impact as automobiles do.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The price of air﹣conditioning will go up due to the large demand for it.
B. A high environmental cost will come along with the air﹣conditioning service.
C. Environmentalists are expecting extra machines which can warm the world.
D. Governments partially agree that air﹣conditioning is a luxury we cannot afford.
3.With regard to the measures to cut the impact of cooling, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Manufacturers should only stop using hydrofluorocarbons.
B. People should avoid turning up the air﹣conditioners to have cool rooms on hot days.
C. People should adopt more environmentally﹣friendly materials when designing buildings.
D. Governments should give a green light to the agreement on eliminating the pollutants.
4.The author writes this passage to .
A. arouse people's attention to the global warming
B. appeal for the global joint efforts to combat global warming
C. give credit to air﹣conditioning for its great contributions to humans
D. offer a new perspective on how to reduce greenhouse gases emissions
Making these easy tasks part of your morning schedule will improve your nutrition, energy, and mood today﹣and beyond.

STRETCH IN BED
Try this even before you open your eyes. Lift one arm and begin by stretching each finger, then your hand, then your wrist, and then your whole arm. Move on to the other arm. Then stretch your toes, feet,ankles, and legs. Finally, end with a neck and back stretch that propels you out of bed. You've just limbered up your muscles and joints and enhanced blood flow throughout your body, providing a shot of oxygen to all your tissues. Take up the entire length of the bed when you stretch. According to Harvard University psychologist Amy Cuddy, this display of power is typical of a bold person, making you feel more confident all day long.

EXERCISE A BIT﹣ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
Working out before you eat, researchers say, encourages your body to burn more fat for energy rather than relying on carbohydrates from food. In a Journal of Physiology study, participants who exercised after breakfast still gained weight (as did a control group who didn't exercise), but those who exercised on an empty stomach did not. Moreover, research from the University of Vermont shows that the mood﹣enhancing benefits of a 20﹣minute workout can last for 12 hours, a boost you'll want to enjoy all day long.
BREAK YOUR FAST TWICE
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not have two? A study published in the journal Pediatric Obesity tracked the weight and breakfast﹣eating patterns of 584 students over two years. They found that frequent breakfast skippers showed increased odds of becoming overweight or obese compared with those who ate two breakfasts (one at home and one at school). The sensible takeaway: If you eat more in the morning, you'll be less likely to snack at night, when it's harder to burn off calories.
8:00 a.m.
SEEK OUT GOOD NEWS
In a 2015 study, researchers asked one group of participants to watch just three minutes of positive,solutions﹣focused news (such as a video of a 70﹣year﹣old man who got his graduation certificate after failing the test dozens of times). These participants were 27 percent more likely to report a few hours later that their day had been "happy" than people who watched negative news in the morning. Study author Gielan also cited substantial evidence that negative moods affect workplace performance.
Voila! You've improved your state of mind, your health, and your productivity﹣all before the weekday has even begun. Now you're ready to conquer your to﹣do list for today and every day.
