Learning to Give a Pep Talk (打气)
Everyone wants to be the type of person who gives the critical talk that turns around a friend's outlook. However, giving a good pep talk isn't easy. __1__. You need to not only listen and understand, but also stress the other person's strengths. You also need to know when to stop talking.
“A lot of people think they are giving a pep talk, but they are just saying what they would want to hear，” says Stacy Kaiser, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师) in Los Angeles.
Instead of instantly telling someone what to do, ask him what action he has thought about taking and why he thinks it will be beneficial. “Don't jump right in and insist ‘You'll be fine，’” says Kaiser. __2__. Repeat the concerns for the person out loud, so he feels heard. Then, show your friend that you believe in him and that he has what it takes to get through this hard time. Stress his strengths.
__3__. You can't guarantee success, but you can remind the person that he has been through a tough time before and has gotten through it.
At last, Kaiser says you must know when to stop. “__4__. Don't argue if the person disagrees with what you are saying. Instead, tell him ‘I am sorry you are having such a hard time.’ And then back down.”
Kaiser says he has learned to give good pep talks by giving bad ones. He lost a number of loved ones during a short period. “Timing is everything.” There is a time to give a pep talk, and there is a time to just listen. __5__. A．Let your friend have his moment B．Give your pep talk and then shut up
C．Arguing with your friend makes no sense
D．Show your friend that you understand why he is sad E．He isn't interested in what his best friends really need F．It requires an understanding of what your audience needs G．It is also important to remember that pep talks are about hope

Why Walking in Nature Makes You a Better Worker?
We're busy at work, distracted (注意力分散的) by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces. __1__. The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors. But what happens if we make time for an hour outside each day?
__2__. You'll have to go out for a walk, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen. Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D.
There are also a lot of mental benefits when you are in nature—you are happy and your brain can make sense of life. “When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors. __3__，” said Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at Canada's Trent University.
The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining grounds since the 1980s. __4__. Afterwards, shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept, which is the practice of taking a short, leisurely
visit to a forest for health benefits, followed that. Researchers of shinrin-yoku have since found
plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest spending time in nature can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase our creativity, and even help us live longer.
Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or the wilderness. __5__. Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects.
A．We also don't get out much B．But it doesn't have to be a forest C．People can get to a forest for a hike
D．In other words, people are happier in nature
E．There are some obvious benefits when being outside F．Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets
G．First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to be connected with nature
Test 3
[2020·长沙市高三统一模拟]Find a few trusted lists. The publishing industry puts out more than 50,000 books a year. __1__ Nobody does. However, we should get our reading lists from booksellers. There's nothing as nice as getting one person's favorite books. Finding a few trusted lists can be as simple as the email lists. __2__ Some of the lists that I personally like are: Bill Gates's reading list and Derek Sivers's reading list.
__3__ It's one thing to quit reading a book and feel bad about it. It's another to quit reading a book and feel proud of it. All you have to do is to change your mind. Just say, “Now I've finally thrown this brick to make room for that gem (宝石) I'm about to read next.” Usually, I quit reading three or four books to find a book I can read to the end.
__4__ You may be wondering why I don't read e-books, saving myself all the time and effort
required to bring books in and out of the house. In an age when our books, films, and photographs are all going digital, there is something popular about having a growing collection of books in the home. Perhaps there is a nice change in your mind while you're reading physical books. __5__
A．Read physical books.
B．Try to read as much as you can. C．Change your mind about quitting.
D．Do you have time to read 1,000 new books a week? E．You'd better find out the most popular reading lists first.
F．And it can be a welcome change to hold a physical book in your hands. G．With a bit of digging you can easily find the one that totally satisfies you.

●Know where not to use your phone. __2__， so avoid talking on your cellphone or having it ring while in such places as hospitals, libraries and movie theaters. Turn your phone off if necessary.
●Don't talk too loudly. When in public, try not to raise your voice while on the phone. Generally you don't have to shout on the phone to be heard on the other end. In fact, doing so often makes it harder for you to be understood. __3__. ●Don't use your phone when having a meal with someone. If possible, turn it off. If you're waiting for an important call, let the person you're with know beforehand (事先) that you're expecting a call that you'll need to take. __4__. If you have to, step away but don't stay away any longer than a bathroom break.
●__5__. When you're in an enclosed space, or you can't put yourself 10 feet out of everyone's way, it's inappropriate to talk but it's potentially acceptable to receive and send text messages. But you'd better not text while doing anything that requires you to be focused.
A．Learn to text
B．Focus on your messages
C．Some places are inappropriate for cellphone usage
D．Limit phone use during gatherings with your friends E．Try not to hold a phone conversation at table
