If you really want to get to know someone, travel with them. The following are some suggestions given by some people who have successfully traveled with friends.
Talk money ahead of time.
When you’re traveling with friends, the topic of money will certainly come up. 1. Talking about expenses early on will help your friends understand what can be done and what can’t be done.
Create a group itinerary (行程表).
When traveling in a group, a lot of time can be wasted trying to figure out what to do once you get there—if this hasn’t been discussed ahead of time. Have everyone write down what they’d like to accomplish on the trip before departure. 2.
Choose a trip leader.
If you’ll be traveling in a group with many friends, it can be hard to keep everyone motivated. 3. He or she can set departure times and let everyone know the basic plan.
4.
Once you’ve nominated (任命) a leader, using a travel folder to collect all tickets, maps and other important documents can help streamline the process of group travel, as well.
Power down.
Nothing is more likely to cause unhappiness than when one person is trying to have a conversation with someone who’s busy showing off the trip on social media. 5. If you spend the time with your face buried in your phone, your companions will rightly think your phone is more interesting than their company.
A. Set specific free time.
B. Gather your important documents.
C. Be open about expenses before even booking the tickets.
D. A leader can be the key decision maker of the group for the trip.
E. This wish list will let everyone feel their desires have been heard.
F. If you do decide to split up, use a communication app to stay in touch.
G. Put all social media activity on hold, and live in the moment with your friends.
Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!
Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. “When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.
When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.
However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.
Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.
Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.
“Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health.” And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone’s heart health.
1.Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam’s opinion?
A.Smile has the same effects as laughter.
B.Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.
C.Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.
D.Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.
2.What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?
A.They can lower our blood pressure.
B.They will surely lead to heart diseases.
C.They can benefit us when we are in danger.
D.They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.
3.Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?
A.It can make us relax. B.It increases sugar levels.
C.It has little bad side effects. D.It can happen for no reason.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart Diseases
B.One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Heart
C.One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress Hormones
D.The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases
