Five years ago, my father, who was in his forty, lost his job. At first, he was in low spirits and often gets drunk. One day, he read a story about Ren Zhengfei, which was greatly inspired him. He turned to a friend, with which help he set up a factory. In his factory waste materials were made full use to produce environmentally friendly packing bags. With these bags well receiving, his factory went smooth. Now, he has extra money because he often helps those in need. So far, he has donated as many as $10,000. How a great father I have!

By now it’s almost common knowledge that spending time in nature is good for you. Areas with 1.(many) trees tend to be less polluted, so spending time there allows you to breathe easier. Spending time outdoors contributes to good health, with blood pressure and stress 2.(reduce), and seems to motivate people 3.(exercise) more.
A survey showed that people 4.spend 2 hours in nature — either all at once or totaled over several shorter 5.(visit) — were more likely to report good health and psychological well-being than those with no nature 6.(expose). Remarkably, the researchers found that less than two hours offered no significant benefits. The two-hour benchmark (临界值) 7.(apply) to men and women, to older and younger folks and so on. Even people8.long-term illnesses or disabilities benefited from time 9.(spend) in nature — as long as it was at least 120 minutes per week.
While the findings are based on 10.tremendous number of people, scientists caution that it’s really just a correlation. Nobody knows why or how nature has this benefit or even if the findings will stand up to stricter investigation.
The View from the Slow Lane
As we pulled into the driveway, I noticed that something seemed different about my mom. She was _______away from me, her shoulders dropped and her hands relaxed. I parked the car and she turned toward me.
“Okay, we’re home,” I said, _______that now was her time to get out and let me be on my own. She sniffled and brushed her hair behind her ears to reveal her bloodshot eyes and moist cheeks. She had been crying.
“Mom!” I whined (嘀咕着说), surprised by the tears running down her face. “Why are you crying?” I asked, _______I already knew the answer.
I had just got my _______, which I’d been looking forward to for months. I was free — able to drive myself where I needed to go. But now that I had it in my pocket, I suddenly felt _______. I had been so quick to grow up, completely ignoring the emotions that my mom must be experiencing with her firstborn _______adulthood.
“My baby boy is growing up too fast,” she _______to say between deep breaths.
My heart ached. I hated to see my mom cry, and I hated more that I had been so ignorant toward her _______. I had been counting down the days,_______waiting to enter the next stage of my life, ________she counted down with fear and headache. The ________and freedom I had previously felt were gone, replaced by an odd sense of mourning.
We hugged. Then she looked me in the eye and told me to drive carefully. “Of course I will,” I reassured her. She unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, and stepped out. I waved goodbye and pulled out of the driveway.
I had been so ________to start speeding and skirting around corners that I’d ________just how beautiful the ride is. Now I cruised (漫游) down the peaceful two -lane road, ________the sights, sounds, and smells of the nature that surrounds me.

Let's face it: The last hour of anyone's workday is not always fruitful. As the hours of peak productivity start to decline, most people begin watching the clock, waiting for nothing.1.“How positively you end your professional day can promote success both inside and outside of the office,” says Randi Levin, a transitional life strategist. Let's see how successful people end their workday with a bang.
Successful people reflect on their accomplishments. While many of us spend our last hour of work making a to-do list for tomorrow, they review the day they just had, instead.2.Similarly, Levin recommends writing down the day's wins rather than setbacks or to-dos, as well as reviewing your list of successes once a month. It will prove your professional growth and bring more joy into your job.
Also, successful people brainstorm solutions for today's setbacks.3.Instead, they end their day by thinking carefully about the problems they met, brainstorming possible solutions, and then leaving it for tomorrow. They will settle those problems after a good night's sleep.
4.Rather than detailing the tasks that need to get done, this kind of list encourages people to focus on finding solutions for their projects. “Forget the horrible 'to-do' list,” Levin says, “before heading to happy hour, write down three to five goals you have for the next 24 hours.5.It will provide you with not only a concrete and positive way to begin tomorrow, but also it will allow you to see much more possibilities.”
A.This list is a promise to yourself.
B.Successful people make a to-do list.
C.It will make people understand the problems better.
D.They never bring the day's failures home with them.
E.Another work these people do is to create an action list.
F.But ending the workday with purpose can make a difference.
G.They typically choose a case and consider what led to that success.
