21、HOW TO FIGHT BURNOUT
You can avoid burnout by focusing on personal characteristics associated with more resilience(恢复力). Research published in the journal Current Psychology finds something useful. 【1】
Focus on solving problems. Rather than avoiding problems, find ways to address them. If you’re having a conflict with a coworker, sit down with them and talk through the issues. If you’re over your head with a project at work, let your boss know and ask for help. 【2】
Believe in your own abilities. Of course, you’re not perfect, but having confidence in your capabilities will go a long way toward your success. Burnout is characterized by shame or questioning your effectiveness. 【3】 Make a list of your skills and talents. Focus on what you want to learn and where you want to go from here—identify the class you want to take or the person you want to get to know and learn from.
Invest in social relationships. Being a high-achiever doesn’t mean you have to push away others. 【4】 Plus, having time away with people you care about can actually provide inspiration when you do work.
【5】 You can prevent burnout from occurring again by knowing how to look out for it. There are usually some indicators that you are about to experience burnout. When you spot these signs, take a look at your life and make some positive additions.
A.Know the warning signs.
B.Make leisure time meaningful.
C.Remind yourself of all you’ve accomplished.
D.The following are key ways to address burnout.
E.Listen to others for experience, especially negative self-talk.
F.Social support can be a great way to help you fight against work stress.
G.Overall, seek to take action rather than sidestepping or avoiding issues.

23、For centuries , tea has been used for far more than quenching thirst. Around the world people drink it to relax, reinvigorate and relieve, and it's something we need now more than ever.
Even in the United States, a long coffee-dominated country, tea drinking is growing in popularity, with the country consuming 0.4 kilograms (14 ounces) of tea leaves per person a year compared with 0. 36 kilograms(12. 7 ounces) in 2007 according to the United Nations, as people switch away from soda, milk and fruit drinks.
Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might affect mood and cognition. Specifically, they're investigating whether its relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the compounds in tea or whether they come from the context in which the drink is consumed—preparing your tea, choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from the world. Or both.
Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function in healthy people, said Stefan Borgward, chair and director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck, Germany.
In a 2014 study, he gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.
“We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain associated with working memory,” he said via email.
And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that green tea can impact the brain in three ways: It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing anxiety; cognition by benefiting memory and attention; and brain function, specifically memory.
That review concluded that "it would be desirable" for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters(3.3 fluid ounces) of green tea each day “to protect neurocognitive function.”
However, Borgward, cautioned that the effects aren't large, and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
【1】How does the author introduce the tendency of drinking in the U.S.?
A.By showing examples.
B.By explaining reasons.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By checking existing facts.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Scientists are looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed.
B.The context in which the drink is consumed is very important.
C.People's relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea.
D.Preparing tea, choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing.
【3】What can we conclude from Stefan's research?
A.Tea is a cure for a neurocognitive disease.
B.Green tea is particularly beneficial to our memory.
C.Drinking tea every day can prevent us from getting ill.
D.Westerners drink less than 100 milliliters of green tea.
【4】What is the researcher's attitude towards the finding?
A.Supportive
B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear.
D.Objective.
24、You may not be very familiar with “ecotourism”. 【1】But in an age of growing environmental awareness, it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday.
Ecotourism which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages(遗产)are the main attractions, 【2】Therefore, programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural sots also form a part of ecotourism.
Ecotourism is developing at a great speed, according to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization. Ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% world wide. 【3】They include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.
【4】However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resources.
Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing, natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists. People are attracted to nature and long to be close to it. However, conflict between nature and human being is unavoidable.【5】
