It was fine and the sky was clear blue. I wanted to go somewhere excited with my roommates. Finally we decided to climb to the Great Wall. It took us one and a half hour to get there by bus. Upon arriving, we begin to climb happily, sharing stories about the Wall. After two hours of climbing, we reached the top, where we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery or took quite a few photos. See the Great wall wind its way over the mountains, both of us felt really amazed. How a wonder! As the famous saying goes, “He who has never been to the Great Wall not a true man.” I felt like I was the true man.

The negative thoughts inside your head can hold you back from making new friends, connecting with colleagues or sharing your brilliant ideas in meetings. For some people, these negative thoughts become too powerful and require professional attention. 1. The following are some tips to quiet your inner critic.
Label the voice.
The voice does not define you. Just identify it as an independent entity (实体) and give it a name. Call it your unreliable speaker, your negative Nelly or your passive Bob. 2.
3.
Negative thinking can do a lot on your central nervous system, causing you to react physically. 4. Whatever your response ― shaky hands, trembling voice, sweaty brow — a slow breathing in and a slower breathing out will help comfort the central nervous system.
Trust that the thought will pass.
It’s just a thought, and ifs just not that important—it’s irrational after all! 5. You don’t realize you’re empowering those thoughts, getting into a tug of war with them. You can choose to accept its presence in the moment and trust that it will pass.
All in all, don’t let that voice in your head tell you what to do.
A. Don’t waste energy fighting it.
B. Calm your central nervous system.
C. Slow your breathing to calm your thoughts.
D. For others, these negative thoughts will pass very soon.
E. Naming the voice almost turns it into someone else talking.
F. Have you ever started getting negative thoughts and suddenly felt physically bad too?
G. For the majority, simple ways can stop them discouraging you from connecting with others.
Wheat is a main source of food for people across the planet, accounting for a fifth of the calories consumed globally. But, as a result of climate change, scientists believe most parts of the world where the crop is grown will be hit by water shortages by the end of the century. And the U.S. could be among the countries worst affected, the authors of the research published in the journal Science Advances told Newsweek.
If climate change isn’t dealt with, by the year 2100, 60 percent of areas that grow wheat will be hit by water scarcity—up from the current level of 15 percent, according to the international team of scientists.
Co-authors Miroslav Tmka and Song Feng told Newsweek that in their previous research, they had shown climate change may cause soil to become less moist across most mainland U.S. states, including those where wheat is grown. As a result, the U.S. could be “one of the top most affected wheat producers” in terms of the increase in areas affected by severe droughts, they said in a joint statement.
Worryingly, existing research has predicted a 4.0 to 6.5 percent drop in global wheat production per 1 degree Celsius of warming if climate change isn’t eased. And it’s unlikely that wheat can be replaced if water becomes scarce, as it’s not as thirsty as other crops and can do without water for a relatively long period of time.
“If multiple regions are affected by drought at the same time, “it might be difficult to meet the demand even if the trade routes stay open and are not restricted by governmental measures,” warned Fengand Trnka. However, he said: “Studies show that if we continuously improve the sustainability and technologies in the coming decades and allow for international trade, we may overcome the negative impacts of climate change.”
1.How will climate change hurt wheat production?
A.By raising ground temperature. B.By reducing water supply.
C.By polluting the soil. D.By flooding the field.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.Wheat production caused droughts in most mainland U.S. states.
B.The United States is the biggest wheat producer in the world.
C.Climate change is closely watched by American scientists.
D.The United States will suffer most from climate change.
3.Why is wheat unlikely to be replaced by other crops in a drought?
A.It is the primary food for most countries.
B.It is not influenced by global warming.
C.It is widely grown in most countries.
D.It needs less water than other crops.
4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Health. B.Science.
C.Education. D.Entertainment.
