外刊阅读 七选五 学段：高中 Passage 1 A mini guide to micro-learning Rather than mindless scrolling, why not treat yourself to some mindful learning instead? 1. Pick a topic or subject that you want to learn. This could be anything from a new language, to practical activities like how to draw, or knitting, or simply a subject you'd like to discover more about - such as astronomy, mythology, or a sport. ①______ The choice is yours and should be based on your interests and curiosity. 2. Define your goal. Create some motivation by focusing on what you want to achieve, complete, or gain by fulfilling this learning. Knowing what you're working towards can help keep you on track when it's tempting to fall back into old habits. ②______ For example, if you're learning a language, your goal might be to be able to have a simple conversation with a native speaker within a month. 3. Decide your method of learning. Consider how you best retain information, or what would be most engaging for you. If you want to learn on the go, you might want a podcast you can dip in and out of at convenient times. Like rewards or tracking progress? Perhaps there's an app for you, such as Duolingo for learning languages, Visual learner? Search for YouTube videos on your subject matter, or a TikTok series. Or, if you want to get away from screens, you could carry a book with you for opportunity moments. ③______ It's all about finding what suits you best. 4. Create the habit. You might want to schedule in time each day to devote to this specifically, popping it in your calendar with a reminder notification - particularly helpful for practical activities. Or perhaps it's about habit-stacking and deciding to pair your learning with going for a walk, doing the washing up, or cooking dinner. Alternatively, it could be consciously swapping scrolling time for learning, implementing time restrictions on certain apps, or when you get the impulse to pick up your phone, using that as a prompt to learn. ④______ Consistency is key to making micro-learning effective. 5. Reflect on your progress. What works best for you? This could be a tracker to see your commitment, regular check-ins, progress pictures or recordings, or self-reflection upon reaching your goal. When you take note of the progress you're making, you might just surprise and inspire yourself further. ⑤______ It can also help you adjust your methods if needed. A. This way, you'll have a clear direction. B. There are various options available. C. This will make the learning process more enjoyable. D. This helps you stay focused and motivated. E. This can be a great way to start your micro-learning journey. F. This allows you to make the most of your spare time. G. This ensures that you keep moving forward in your learning. Passage 2 6 tips for settling into a new job when working remotely From dealing with virtual meetings to setting boundaries, here's how you can make a new remote job work for you. 1. GET TO KNOW YOUR COLLEAGUES Not sitting beside your colleagues can feel like a barrier when starting a new job, but there are still ways to connect remotely. "Attend any online training or other meetings that your team holds, even if they are optional," says coach Anita Gohil-Thorp. "This will not only help you to get to know others, but it will also help you build trust and your own reputation. Trust, and let the team get to know you." ①______ You may well find you click with certain colleagues. Ask about meeting up, whether at a Zoom chat or in-person coffee where you can. Take up the offer of any social events or in-person sessions too to help make connections. 2. COMMUNICATE WITH CONFIDENCE "Eye contact is still relevant," says confidence coach Gemma Holmes. "I always encourage my clients to talk into their webcam as if the camera is the eyes of their audience." This can help you appear more confident to your colleagues as if you're talking straight to them and can help with building a connection and instilling a sense of confidence." That said, it's best not to stare down the lens constantly, as this can feel uncomfortable or unnatural. ②______ To boost your confidence outside of meetings, Anita suggests using affirmations such as "I am competent in my new role," "I excel at this task," and "I choose to move outside my comfort zone for career growth." 3. UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE One of the challenges of starting a new job is learning exactly what your day-to-day will look like. "To be clear about your role and responsibilities, talk to your line manager regularly so they are aware of your capacity and whether you're fulfilling tasks that support the development you want in relation to the job you applied for," says Anita. Asking what your priorities should be can help you both get on the same page. ③______ Read through the job description thoroughly to understand what's expected of you. Anita emphasizes the importance of boundaries to ensure you don't work longer hours or beyond your job description too often. 4. UNDERSTAND YOUR WORKPLACE Working remotely can mean it takes a little longer to understand your workplace and how people operate. ④______ Observe how communication flows, what tools and platforms are used, and the general work culture. This will help you adapt and integrate more smoothly. 5. SET BOUNDARIES It's easy to blur the lines between work and personal life when working from home. Set specific working hours and stick to them. Let your family or housemates know when you're working and need to be undisturbed. ⑤______ Also, create a dedicated workspace if possible, even if it's just a corner of a room, to help you mentally separate work and leisure. A. This can make a big difference in how you feel and perform. B. There are various ways to achieve this. C. This helps you establish a good working relationship. D. This way, you can avoid misunderstandings and confusion. E. This allows you to get a better sense of the work environment. F. This can enhance your communication skills in virtual settings. G. This will give you a clear understanding of your tasks and goals. Passage 3 Empath shielding techniques While empaths are highly compassionate people, there are times when this sensitivity to others' emotions can become too much. In those overwhelming moments, here are four techniques to try. USING CRYSTALS They may not be for everyone, but crystals are believed by some to be able to absorb energy, so keeping one close could be a way to syphon off negative energy accumulated through the day. Some recommended ones include clear quartz, citrine, and amethyst. But bear in mind that crystals need to be cleansed too, which could be done through leaving them on a windowsill in moonlight while you sleep. ①______ However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of crystals in this way is not scientifically proven. VISUALISING This can be a helpful option, requiring nothing more than your own thoughts. Visualising is about imagining various scenarios to guide your subconscious to an end goal, and lead to relaxation or reduced stress. In this instance, as an empath, you may want to envision a protective bubble around yourself if someone is venting to you, so that you're present, but their negativity is bouncing off rather than connecting with you. It can take time to practise to feel more natural and reap the benefits, but it's well worth the effort. ②______ With regular practice, you'll find it easier to create and maintain this mental shield. RELAXING One of the most effective methods to counter the emotional weight you might be carrying, or the secondhand stress, can be to allow yourself the time and space to decompress and relax. This can be through whatever means appeals to you most, so listen to your body. Do you need alone-time with a good book? Do you want creativity and mindfulness by baking or crafting something? Do you want distraction and laughter with a comedy show? ③______ The key is to find what truly relaxes you and makes you feel at ease. GROUNDING Reconnecting with yourself through nature can be a great way of re-centring, and reducing feelings of overwhelm. Take a break outside in the fresh air, and, if you can, allow your bare feet to connect with the grass or earth. Pay attention to how it feels, what you can hear, and the scents in the air. Be in the moment. ④______ This connection with nature can help you feel more grounded and less affected by external emotions. A. This simple act can bring a sense of calm and peace. B. There are different ways to relax and unwind. C. This technique may seem a bit strange to some. D. This practice can strengthen your ability to shield. E. This natural connection can have a powerful impact. F. This method requires patience and persistence. G. This can be a controversial topic among people. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$外刊阅读 七选五 学段：高中 Passage 1 A mini guide to micro-learning Rather than mindless scrolling, why not treat yourself to some mindful learning instead? 1.
