21、 Making these easy tasks part of your morning schedule will improve your nutrition， energy， and mood today﹣and beyond．
6：00 a．m．
STRETCH IN BED
Try this even before you open your eyes． Lift one arm and begin by stretching each finger， then your hand， then your wrist， and then your whole arm． Move on to the other arm． Then stretch your toes， feet，ankles， and legs． Finally， end with a neck and back stretch that propels you out of bed． You've just limbered up your muscles and joints and enhanced blood flow throughout your body， providing a shot of oxygen to all your tissues． Take up the entire length of the bed when you stretch． According to Harvard University psychologist Amy Cuddy， this display of power is typical of a bold person， making you feel more confident all day long．
7：00 a．m．
EXERCISE A BIT﹣ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
Working out before you eat， researchers say， encourages your body to burn more fat for energy rather than relying on carbohydrates from food． In a Journal of Physiology study， participants who exercised after breakfast still gained weight （as did a control group who didn't exercise）， but those who exercised on an empty stomach did not． Moreover， research from the University of Vermont shows that the mood﹣enhancing benefits of a 20﹣minute workout can last for 12 hours， a boost you'll want to enjoy all day long．
BREAK YOUR FAST TWICE
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day， so why not have two？ A study published in the journal Pediatric Obesity tracked the weight and breakfast﹣eating patterns of 584 students over two years． They found that frequent breakfast skippers showed increased odds of becoming overweight or obese compared with those who ate two breakfasts （one at home and one at school）． The sensible takeaway： If you eat more in the morning， you'll be less likely to snack at night， when it's harder to burn off calories．
8：00 a．m．
SEEK OUT GOOD NEWS
In a 2015 study， researchers asked one group of participants to watch just three minutes of positive，solutions﹣focused news （such as a video of a 70﹣year﹣old man who got his graduation certificate after failing the test dozens of times）． These participants were 27 percent more likely to report a few hours later that their day had been "happy" than people who watched negative news in the morning． Study author Gielan also cited substantial evidence that negative moods affect workplace performance．
Voila! You've improved your state of mind， your health， and your productivity﹣all before the weekday has even begun． Now you're ready to conquer your to﹣do list for today and every day．

22、 Cornwall is defined by its magnificent coastline with over 300 miles of dunes (沙丘), streams and medieval harbors -- every mile accessible on foot.There is surfing on the north coast and sailing on the south and all kinds of watereraft for hire. Tucked away in sheltered valleys are the county's famous sub-tropical (亚热带的) gardens stocked with specimens (标本) from five continents collected by Victorian plant-hunters. Many have a country house attached, which is open to the public and has activities for children to keep everyone engaged.
The beautiful, remote Lizard peninsulas are Cornwall in microcosm (缩略图). There are sandy coves (小海湾) that can be reached only on foot. The moorland (高沼地) is rich in Iron Age standing stones,recovered villages and forts (城堡). There is also a strong community of artists and craft workers. Visit in the last week of May when artists open their studios.
The artistic legacy of St.Ives
For over a century, the special quality of light here has drawn artists to St. Ives. Abstract works inspired by this place have been praised worldwide.

The gallery can now show a permanent collection of works by Hepworth, Nicholson, Gabo and Frost as well as seasonal exhibitions.

23、 The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username and password combinations to log in different kinds of accounts. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing the login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue (疲劳).
Having to remember so many different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their accounts. 【1】 While these practices make it easier to remember login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts.
Single Sign-On(SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. 【2】 The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the system. SSO software is typically used by large companies, schools or libraries.
【3】 If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems.
Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt (提示), this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution. 【4】
Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics (生物测定学). 【5】 The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice.
Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place.
A.It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue.
B.These software programs have been built into many major web browsers.
C.The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless.
D.With SSO, users only need to remember one password to login in to the main system.
E.However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks.
F.This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits, such as fingerprints, voice or DNA.
G.Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using extremely simple passwords.
24、Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his 10th Symphony (交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist’s final composition.
Dr. Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019. He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven's 250th birthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting (招募) an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included music composer Walter and Dr. Ahmed, the creator of an innovative (创新的) AI technology for the art market.
Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it to just Beethoven's work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret (解释) the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven's plans for the 10th Symphony.
The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven’s original composition, Ahmed's team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated (生成的) musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony!
The composition was firstly released on October 9, 2021. Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy (争议). Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process. Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans -it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.
