How are things going? I'm glad you are interested in our cultural heritage protection.
Great progress has made in the past few years. Every year a lot of efforts are made and much money are spent researching and protecting it. People are more aware of the important of protecting the cultural heritage.
However, we are faced over greater challenges in protecting our cultural relics nowadays. We have to make a way for many new buildings. Even worse, a largely number of historic spots have already been destroyed, what worries us a lot.
Considered the factors above, I think more steps should be taken to protecting our cultural heritage. I hope the whole society should actively participate in protecting our cultural heritage.

Creativity is a learnable ability. But in my experience, we can create the conditions to develop it.1.
* Obey your curiosity.
Steve Jobs claimed that creativity is just connecting things. I agree. 2. The best way to build a rich mental database that. will help you solve problems later is to honor passing curiosity. If something excites your brain, spend a moment on it. Follow paths that have no obvious purpose rather than satisfy a fantasy.
*3.
Early in my career, Will Marre, founding president of Stephen Covey s training company, warned me to subscribe to a handful of business journals he listed, and added, “And every time you read one, be sure to read at least one article that 1s of. no interest to you.”I've been rewarded time and again for doing do. Many things that end up in my mind have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as chores and ended with an insight.4.
* Have uncomfortable conversations.
Another great creative stimulus is to regularly engage in conversations with people from whom you might normally recoil( 畏缩). Three of the more unexpectedly fruitful conversations in my life were with a racist taxi driver in London, a drug dealer seatmate on a plane, and an extremist political advocate in Puerto Rico.5.This discipline helped me find the psychological flexibility I needed in Canada.
A.Do things that don't interest you.
B.When you work hard, you can become creative.
C.Here are some of the ways I've learned to be more predictably creative.
D.Have a strange conversation with someone that will happen in the future.
E.If you want to be more creative, you will need to have more things to connect.
F.As a result of these conversations, I gained valuable perspectives from lives I :will never live.
G.Sometimes, we' call things boring simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.
LONDON- Every eight minutes, a child in Britain becomes homeless, the worst rate for 12 years, according to figures published in a new report by homelessness charity Shelter. The charity, which campaigns to end homelessness and bad housing, revealed that each day 183 children lose their home and 135, 000 children will spend this Christmas in temporary accommodation. The charity 's Generation Homeless report also highlights 5, 683 homeless families with children who are currently living in emergency bed and breakfasts and hostels.
Will, aged 10，lives with his parents and younger brother in a single room in emergency bed and breakfast accommodation in Ilford, East London.”Life in the B&B is horrible,” Will said.”There's no room to do anything, even if I'm reading my book, as I'm still going to get annoyed by someone. I've been told off by someone for running in the small corridor. You can't do much. You can't play much. I don't get to play that often.”The family is still living . in temporary accommodation, despite being told it would only be there for six weeks.
Families are often packed into one room with little space to cook, play or eat their meals and Shelter said people are also forced to share bathrooms with strangers as well as living in . accommodation that is often located kilometers away from schools and jobs.
“Sometimes, my little brother Harry and I fight for the one chair, because we both want to sit at the table, and sometimes he wins and sometimes I win. I find it really hard to do my homework as I get distracted by my little brother and I don't have another room to work in peace,” Will said.
The charity said an additional 4,026 children will be made homeless by Christmas Day if action is not taken to deal with the lack of social homes, expensive private rents and welfare cuts that are driving the country 's housing emergency.
Polly Neate，chief executive of Shelter, said: “ The fact that 183 children become homeless every day is an unacceptable figure and a sharp reminder that political promises about dealing with homelessness must be turned into real action.
“Day in，day out we see the devastating impact the housing emergency is having on children across the country. They are being uprooted from friends; living in cold, cramped B&Bs and going to bed at night scared by the sound of strangers outside.”
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing，Communities and Local Government said: “Every child should have somewhere safe to live, and councils have a duty to provide temporary accommodation to those who need it.'

The benefits of positive emotions don't stop after a few minutes of good feelings. In fact, the biggest benefit that positive emotions provide is an improved ability to build skills and develop resources for use in later life.
A child, who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team( social skills) ，and the ability. to explore and examine the world around them( creative skills). In this way, the positive emotions of play and joy cause the child to build skills that are useful and valuable in everyday life,
These skills last much longer than the emotions. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may develop into a job offer as a l business manager. The, happiness that developed the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended, but the skills themselves live on.
All of this research begs the most important questions of all: if positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the big picture of life, how do you actually get yourself to be positive? Well, anything that arouses feelings of joy，satisfaction and love will do the trick. You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it's spending time with a certain person.
Recent research by Fredrickson and her colleagues shows that people who meditate( 深思) daily display more positive emotions than those who do not. As expected, people who meditated also built. valuable long-term skills. For example, three months after the experiment was over, those people who meditated daily continued to display increased mindfulness, purposes in life, social support , and decreased symptoms( 症状) of illness.
It is necessary to include play time in your schedule. We have plans for meetings, conference calls and other responsibilities in our daily life... Why not spare some time for play? Give yourself chances to smile and enjoy the benefits of positive emotions. Spare some time for play and adventure so that you can find joy, and explore and build new skills.
1.What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A.Play and joy are beneficial to kids. B.Physical skills are good for social skills.
C.It is necessary to hurt kids' positive emotions. D.It is difficult to encourage kids to explore.
2.Speaking of developing positive thinking ,_________.
A.it is a must in daily life B.playing the guitar is the best way
C.your friends have a big effect on you D.different people have different methods
3.What does the research mentioned in Para. 5 show?
A.Meditation can give you short-term skills.
B.Meditation can make you have a good rest.
C.Meditation can reduce your work stress quickly.
D.Meditation can help you both mentally and physically.
4.What should you do when you make your plans in daily life according to the text?
