Ideas for bringing order to your life
You think you're a clean person. You don't leave dirty dishes in the sink - not often. You sweep occasionally. 1. . But there is still so much clutter (凌乱的东西) in your house. And it quickly becomes so troublesome that it's hard to know where to start.
That is why we asked professional organizers for their top tips on getting rid of clutter for good! They' re simple and won't leave you picking up for hours on end.
◎ 2..
"Many people get discouraged because the job is just too big. Choose one drawer, take everything out and ask yourself: What is this doing here?' If you don' t know the answer, the item needs a new home."
--- Rachel Siegel, Spruce Girls
◎ Ask yourself: Would I buy this today?
"If the answer is no, throw it or give it to others. 3., deciding to keep it in your closet won't put money back in your pocket."
--- Jeni Aron, Clutter Cowgirl
◎ Don' t worry about perfection.
" 4.. I thought if things were perfect, I would be more willing to keep them in order. Forget about perfection, and take a hard look at what and where things are piling up and causing clutter."
--- Shara Koplowitz, Organizing
People's Everyday Needs
◎ Keep only what you can store.
"Clothing should fit into closets and dressers. Make sure cleaning and toiletry supplies can fit into your cabinets or closets. 5. , review what is stored, and throw away things that are expired (过渡期) or worn.

Whatever happened to the familiar scene from the past of children playing “tag(捉人游戏)” in the streets while their parents chatted with the neighbors over the garden fence? This picture is fading fast today, as children are now leaving the streets in favor of a screen.
Several organizations are attempting to change this situation. One of these organizations is Play England, which aims to improve opportunities for children to play outside. A leading figure in the campaign is 50-year-old Adrian Voce, who has childhood memories of days spent in the “Big Woods” near his house with his older brothers. “We were given a packed lunch and told not to talk to strangers. I can still remember wandering in and out of each other’s houses.” he says.
However, it is not only the children that Mr. Voce and his organization have to convince. In many cases the parents themselves block his efforts. A survey in 2014 found that 85 percent of adults agreed that it was important for children to be able to play safely in the road or street where they live. However, many of them were not prepared to park their cars an extra 50 meters away from their homes.
Mr. Voce’s attempts to encourage children to play outside include the organization of campaigns like National Playday. Hundreds of communities all over the country take part in this effort, yet it can take a lot of people to give children a taste of what it is like to play in the streets. On one street in Aldershot last year there were five policemen, three community support officers, a traffic management crew, a closed-circuit television van, and a team of "play workers.”
Society today has changed to such an extent that children do not feel safe on the streets and their parents no longer feel comfortable about letting them play there. It is not only the appeal of computers and video games that has driven children inside, but also the presence of traffic, crime, and violent young people. However, thanks to the efforts of people like Adrian Voce, it may not be too late to turn back the clock.

The Egyptian city Thonis-Heracleion was founded in the eighth century B.C. For centuries, its location at the mouth of the Nile River made it a gateway to Egypt which foreign traders needed to pass through. This brought it both wealth and influence. Its name shows the city' s foreign ties: Thonis was its Egyptian name, but the Greeks, who had close contact with the Egyptians, named it Heracleion after the hero Hercules.
The neighboring city Canopus shared Thonis-Heracleion' s wealth and prestige (声望). Both cities appear in the writings of ancient historians and poets. But then they disappeared from all records. For centuries, no one even knew where these once-great cities were located.
In 1933 a British pilot flew over a bay in Egypt and spotted ruins. He reported his find, but nothing came of it. Not until 2000 did anyone research into the bay thoroughly. That year French archaeologist Franck Goddio used a tool that measured variations in the earth's magnetic field ( 磁场 ) to make a detailed map of the ocean floor. The map helped him and his team choose the most promising areas to dig.
At the bottom of the ocean, Goddio’s team found the remains of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus. They carefully dug the cities out from mountains of sand that had settled over them. They made some amazing discoveries, such as a five-meter-tall statue. A stele, (石碑) records the city' s name and information about laws, such as tax regulations. And 69 ships lay buried in the same bay - the largest group of ancient ships ever found.
For all their glory, these cities were built on a foundation of soft clay ( 黏 土 ). As their populations grew, the weight of people and homes pressed the clay. In A.D. 800 the ground below the city collapsed (坍塌), causing people to run away. The ground collapsed again some time later, and over the course of 1,000 years, the land sank under the waves. Under the water, sand settled gently over the ruins, saving them from being destroyed.
1.What can we learn about the city Thonis-Heracicion?
A.It was less famous than Canopus.
B.It was once an important center of trade.
C.It was once under the control of the Greeks.
D.It was recorded in more detail than Canopus.
2.Goddio found the sites of Thonis-Heraclcion and Canopus .
A.completely by chance
B.according to the historical records
C.with the support of the British pilot
D.thanks to the map of the ocean floor he made
3.What do we know about the treasures found by Goddio's team?
A.They are still in good condition. B.They are of little historical value.
C.They were hidden in the mountains. D.They belonged to Thonis-Heracleion.
