Again, this does not need to be anything special. Just set aside 10 to 20 minutes with a timer, sit straight, close our eyes, and focus(集中) only on breathing. If other ideas come up, accept that they are there and let them go on their own. ⑤By trying these steps, we will go a long way toward feeling relaxed and peaceful when finishing all the work. ( ) 38. In Paragraph 2, how does the writer express his idea? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By telling stories. D. By giving examples. ( ) 39.

Solving the less urgent things first. B. Working on problems together. C. Having a trip to the nature. D. Thinking deeply in silence . ( ) 41. What’s the structure(结构) of the passage? A. B. C . D.
