You don’t have to break your back to create a yard that’s both beautiful and kind to Mother Nature. These environmentally smart ideas will turn your home turf (草地) into a small garden. 1.
Let the grass grow.
Cut grass less often, 2.. It will help grass survive dry periods of time in warmer months. That’s because roots will grow deeper and grass thicker, which means fewer pests, less disease, and a decreased need for chemical intervention.
3..
You can act before 10 a.m, when the air is cool. Watering in late afternoon is the next good choice. Water near the base of plants, slowly delivering the good stuff right to the roots. For lawns, water long and deep once a week.
Get keen on composting(肥料).
Compost isn’t called gardener’s gold for nothing. It keeps kitchen leftover out of landfills and enriched soil with much-needed nutrients. 4. Vegetables and tea bags, eggshells, dry leaves are all fair game.
Give bees the green-carpet treatment
Honeybees help pollinate(授粉)75 percent of the flowering plants and nearly 75 percent of food crops. Scientists say many important pollinators are disappearing. Creating a garden with plants which flower at different times of the year will benefit pollinators throughout the growing season.5..

C.Dry leaves add nutrients to the soil.
D.Make the backyard as beautiful as possible.

Stress under the novel coronavirus
The first national survey of the psychological impact of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) collected data between Jan 31 and Feb 10. It found that 35 percent of people suffer psychological stress, and the level of the stress was to do with various factors.
According to the research, the stress level was associated with sex, age and education. Female showed higher psychological stress than male. People aged between 18 and 30 showed the highest level of stress. They can get much information from social media, which can easily cause stress. The elderly have also been psychologically impacted, since this widespread disease is most likely to kill older patients. Furthermore, people with higher education tended to have more stress for their knowledge of health.
Further, people may have higher stress due to their jobs. It is evident that migrant workers (外来务工人员) have the highest level of stress among all workers because they worry about the virus carried in public transports when returning to their jobs, about work delays and loss of income as they stop working, and about job opportunities that may dry up before the cities they work in return to full operations.
In addition, stress levels have something to do with region for its local medical resources, efficiency of public health system, prevention and control measures. For example, Shanghai is at high risk because of the large population of migrant workers, but the stress level is not in the high level. This may be because Shanghai has one of the best public health systems in China, according to the research.
Ultimately, the prevention and control measures taken by the Chinese government have made people’s stress decrease. Still, based on the research, psychologists suggested more attention be paid to young adults and migrant workers who have higher stress.

It’s a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities. It’s usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception.
In September, 2019 Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag — best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series.
Her success is partly because of her family. Descended (遗传) from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you want if you imagine it.” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do. “Our laws and moral codes don’t apply — she lives ... without fear of consequence,” The Sun noted.
That fearlessness extends to being authentic (真实的) in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows an imperfect but real character. Just like the character Fleabag, who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing, Waller-Bridge feels her life is a mess. “It resonated (共鸣) with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality — doing their best to find balance in their lives,” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb. Variety magazine even calls her an “all-around icon”.
Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which made many people see themselves in her.
“People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template (样板,人设). And, aren’t we all a bit of everything?”Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express.
With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without a doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented.
1.What is Waller-Bridge good at?
A.designing B.writing reports
C.directing films D.performing
2.Who definitely interviewed Waller-Bridge according to the passage?
A.The Sun B.Variety magazine
C.Indian Express D.The New Daily
3.Which is the most impressive characteristic of Waller-Bridge according to the media?
A.Staying true B.Being talented
C.Being hardworking D.Being brave
