21、Life Begins on Board Your Next Cruise(邮轮)
On a cruise, it’s all about choices. And never about effort or annoyance. Simply step aboard and float away, as your grand accommodation takes you from port to port, country to country. Maybe you haven’t been on a cruise yet. Let’s see what it might look like.
Rise and shine
Everyone is a morning person on a cruise. Wake up to find yourself floating joyfully somewhere out on the horizon, between vast blue skies and rolling oceans. You’ve travelled far through the night, and each morning begins with a completely new and foreign destination calling from outside your window. What a way to start your day!
Breakfast of champions
Before the morning truly begins, spend some time relaxing on the top floor with a steaming cup of coffee and warm French pastries, taking in the unbelievable views and the fresh sea air. Or head to one of the many restaurants on the ground floor to find a rich meal fit for a king, then walk to the front of the ship and have some fresh fruit and American pancakes in the open-air market.
Ease into your day
Energize your morning with a yoga class, strengthening your body on the open-air board, palms stretched to the sea. Hit the gym for a refreshing workout or take a swim that will set you up for the day. If you are not so sporty, simply spend your morning sitting by the pool reading a book, perhaps losing yourself in the history, culture and legends of your next port of call.

22、The“WHO Quit Tobacco App” is the latest tobacco control initiative (倡议) by the WHO South-East Asia Region. It was started during WHO’s year-long “Commit to quit”campaign. 【1】
Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia Region said that tobacco is deadly in every form and that new approaches such as the “Quit Tobacco App” are much needed to support people to give up tobacco. 【2】 However, they are unable to quit for various reasons.
Every year, tobacco, which is the world’s leading cause of preventable death, kills nearly eight million persons. In the WHO South-East Asia Region, tobacco claims 6 million lives. This region is among the largest producers and consumers of tobacco products. 【3】 These users account for 29 percent of the population in the Region.
Some additional challenges to tobacco control include the growing use of new and emerging products such as Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems(ENDS )or electronic cigarettes, sheesha (水烟) or hookah, among others.
In order to monitor tobacco use prevalence (流行) and tobacco control policies, the Region has tobacco surveillance (监控). 【4】 Thailand was the first in Asia to carry out Plain Packaging.

23、This Monday，the nation will start to celebrate Presidents’ Day，just seven days before George Washington’s birthday．Everyone agrees that day is a holiday，but is it just to celebrate George Washington’s Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents’ Day．Others say the holiday is officially Washington’s Birthday．Confused yet?
George Washington was elected the country’s first President on April 30，1789．Soon after，Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday．Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington’s birth is February 11，1732．But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates，making Washington’s birthday February 22，which is now well accepted．In 1879．Congress made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday．It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birthday．In 1968，Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act，which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February．The new law did not change the holiday’s name．It was still called Washington’s Birthday，even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to include Abraham Lincoln，whose actual birthday is February 12．
Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents．They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves．Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington．the country’s first President．They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country．
Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term “George Washington’s Birthday．”but none of those laws have been passed．Meanwhile，many state governments and school districts now use the term “Presidents’ Day．”Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales．
Should the holiday honor Washington，Washington and Lincoln，or all past Presidents? Write to emailbag@timeforkids．com and tell us what you think．
【1】The President’s Day was originally designed to honor______．
A．George Washington B．Abraham Lincoln

D．This Monday is the third one of this February．
【3】What’s the main argument about this holiday?

B．How to celebrate the holiday．
C．Which president to honor．
D．Where to celebrate the holiday．
【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

24、Beating Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in the New Year
This year has continued to bring many of us closer to the pain, suffering and exhaustion of those experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue (疲倦). There is no doubt that 2021 has been filled with additional challenges. 【1】
The data is clearly showing that our workforce shares feelings of burnout. A recent Gallup report indicated that 67% of us feel burned out either some or most of the time. At an organizational level, Hogan reports that burned out employees are 18% less productive and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking a different job.
Fatigue and burnout arise not when we fail to get sufficient rest but when we fail to appreciate the moments of purpose and joy in our lives.
There are a few myths around burnout and compassion fatigue:
Myth 1: Burnout is an individual's problem.
Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”. 【2】 Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed.
Myth 2: 【3】
Surprisingly, the individuals most likely to experience burnout are committed employees and leaders who love their job and are highly engaged. These top performers are the people you are most likely to lose.
Myth 3: People who experience burnout are just less resilient.
Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout. 【4】 But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.
If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt. 【5】
A．While fatigue is more sudden and results from carrying the pain and suffering of others, what we experience is similar.
B．Burnout results from lack of responsibility.
C．Burnout hurts individuals' enthusiasm and passion.
D．At this point, burnout and compassion fatigue has expanded into many aspects of our lives.
E．But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.
F．At one point, people believed resilience was established by “sucking it up”, or “just staying positive”.
G．And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.
