Unit 1 Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas-（教师WORD）2021-2022学年高中英语【精讲精练】外研选择性必修第二册 新课标辅导

不管世界上发生了什么，有些人似乎总是很平静和快乐。 我们该怎么做才能成为他们中的一员呢？ Do you know how to live a fulfilling life? Ever wonder why we feel so good when walking bare­foot on the grass or planting our feet in the sand? Notice that we seem to sleep so well at the beach? This is scientifically1 proven：when our bodies make direct contact with the ground，it allows the flow of the earth's beneficial2 and free energy into our bodies. We take in the positive，and let go of the negative，and our entire well­being is affected in a good way. That gets us to think even more—why do some people always seem calm and happy，no matter what happens in the world? There seems to be a direct connection between fulfillment3 and happiness. You can be one of those people，too! Here are some pieces of advice： Give yourself a little time off，even if it's just five minutes. Do something you love，whether it's gardening，playing or just wandering. Take care of yourself. A hot bath，a massage，and a good book－these can all give you a “quiet time” when you just focus on yourself. Don't gobble4 your food. This is usually a problem for us，since our fast food culture seems to forgive us for eating on the run. But enjoy，taste and smell because your digestion will be glad if you do it，and you'll end up being a lot calmer and focused. Feeling anxious? Just breathe! Calm down by taking a few deep breaths. Re­connect with old friends. The Internet makes it easier than ever to find people whom you haven't seen for years. Not only does it “complete your story”，but you'll start to remember some very joyous and humorous memories—things you haven't thought of for years. Practice gratitude5.This seems to be said time and time again，but with good reason—it helps us focus on the positive，rather than the negative. Even the worst day has a few bright spots，so every night，make a list of at least three things for which you are grateful. 【词汇积累】 1．scientifically adv.科学(上)地 2．beneficial adj.有利的，有用的 3．fulfillment n．满足感；实现 4．gobble v．狼吞虎咽，大嚼(某物) 5．grat
