With the graduation day approaching, memory are flooding back to me. I remember how unwillingly I was to enter the classroom. “If I have studied harder before, I would have gone to a better senior high school,” I said it to myself. However, I later realized I fell in love with a school.
The campus scenery is pleasant. The antique pavilion (亭子), where stands on a small hillside, impresses me most. Surrounded green trees, I can admire the beautiful sunrise and sunset. I often wander around the charming pond and see myself reflecting in its transparent water. Any pains I have are smoothed and float away. The kind teachers and easy-going classmates also warm my heart and cheer me up when I am in low spirits.
Every time I recall my unforgettable moments, I smile. We’ve all grew over these three years.

In January 2018, I was commuting (通勤) from Brooklyn to New Jersey. I have two little kids and a busy business, so a quiet train ride felt like a mini ______. Yet I found myself spending that ______ time scrolling through my social media feeds. One day, I ______ my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had ______ to a fund I had organized.
When I got off the train that day, I was in a noticeably better ______. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous — and felt the same. When I finished writing the notes, I ______ them up. There were 31 — one for every day of the year so far. Something ______. What if I kept it up?
I decided to write one thank-you note for every day of that year. I had no shortage of people I was ______ for. So I picked out a different ______ for each month. January was charity — and, thankfully, I had already completed that ______.

While writing the notes, I eventually realized why this task was the perfect antidote (解药) to my social ______. What was I actually doing when I scrolled through Facebook?

Five Health Facts Your Doctor Wants You to Know
1. Cold weather makes you sick.
Myth! Germs (病菌) are the only thing that can make you sick. You can go out in the freezing cold with wet hair, and if there aren’t any germs around, you'll stay sniffle-free. But there is a correlation:1.
2. You shouldn’t ice a burn.
Truth! Most skin damage from a burn comes from the inflammatory (发炎) response, and ice can damage cells and make it worse. 2. Then wash with mild soap and apply an antibiotic (抗生素) ointment.
3. Antiperspirants (止汗剂) cause cancer.
Myth! Antiperspirants temporarily keep sweat from escaping, and some scientists have suggested that letting it build up in the ducts could cause tumors(肿瘤). 3. And the largest study to date on the subject has found no link between cancer and antiperspirants.
4.4.
Truth! A 2017 study found that when bystanders gave CPR to people in cardiac arrest (心脏停搏), survival rates were higher when they employed uninterrupted chest compressions rather than pausing for rescue breaths.
5. Eating too much sugar will give you diabetes.
Myth! Sweet foods don’t directly lead to chronically (慢性地) high blood sugar. But they can contribute to obesity, which is a risk factor for diabetes. 5.
A.Germs are active if you have a cold.
B.But research hasn’t confirmed that theory.
C.CPR doesn’t require mouth-to-mouth breathing.
D.Therefore, it’s inappropriate to deal with the burn with ice.
E.Instead, first immerse the burn in cool water for about five minutes.
F.So keeping a well-balanced diet and limiting treats is still the right idea.
G.The germs that cause the common cold grow energetically in low temperatures.
We all experience “oh crap” moments. Running into the person you canceled a date with — while you’re on another date. Realizing you hit “reply all”on an e-mail that you’d do anything to have back. Whatever the situation, the first thing you probably do is freak out. Everybody does.
While many of us think that we’re cool in a crisis, science tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, our attention can tunnel in on the scariest thing in the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us. Armed robbers go unidentified because witnesses remember little more than the guns. Our ability to remember the things we do notice also becomes compromised; we can be told something, and two seconds later we’ll forget. And we jump to conclusions. When we’re freaked out, we’re anything but at our best.
These normal human reactions can be reversed. Once you calm down, you’ll face the most routinely ignored challenge of any crisis situation — identifying what the crisis is really about. We tend to misdiagnose problems because we don’t practice for them. Do the thinking ahead of time so you can just find the solution when it’s showtime. This is why flight attendants suggest you find the closest exit before you depart — so you don’t have to go exit shopping after the plane has caught fire or is sinking into a river.
Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us, for two reasons. Back in the good old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about what happens to our preparedness as the possibility of something bad happening shrinks. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. When complex systems lack transparency (透明度,显而易见), serious situations can “come out of nowhere.” We should all learn to breathe, recognize the situation, and carry out the plan that we were smart enough to prepare well in advance.
1.What does the underlined phrase “freak out” mean?
A.Be at one’s best. B.Calm down gradually.
C.Run away immediately. D.Panic or be scared.
2.Why do armed robbers go unidentified?
A.Because the witnesses jump to conclusions.
B.Because the witnesses focus on their scariest thing.
C.Because the witnesses forget what they have been told.
D.Because the witnesses are keenly aware of the surroundings.
3.Why is it more important for us to perform in a crisis today?
A.Because of less reliability and less complexity.
B.Because of more reliability and more complexity.
C.Because of worse transparency and less preparedness.
D.Because of better transparency and more preparedness.
4.What would the passage suggest doing in case a fire breaks out?
A.Taking a deep breath and dialing 119.
B.Staying cool and ignoring the challenge.
C.Calming down and remembering the situation.
D.Performing escaping and rescuing beforehand.
