Have you ever tried asking respect from another adult? It’s tough. 36 That’s because the concept of respect must register with us when we are children. In our developmental years, we all need to comprehend kindness and use good manners.
37 That’s why it’s rewarding to teach respectful behaviors to children in your life. The following two points are critical to teaching kids how to show respect.
Teach them basic manners
Plenty of kids grow up with no manners. Ms. Barnes, a fifth-grade teacher, says “I have a lot of kids from rough neighborhoods in the inner city where we’re located. 38 ”
Ms. Barnes says her students throughout the years have used a lot of bad words when they first come into her class. “So, we’ve had open discussions in the classroom,” she said.
She tells her class: “All of us get very angry in certain situations. But try hard not to make a situation worse than it already is. 39 ”
Teach them to appreciate differences
“I try to demonstrate the importance of accepting differences among people,” says a college administrator we’ll call Mr. Harris. “All of us are made ‘rich’ by our friendships and relationships. What a boring world if everyone were alike!”
He points out the power of appreciating others. “I enjoy teaching our students about other countries, cultures and people who come from every type of background,” he emphasizes. “It’s nice to have a wide variety of people in your life.” 40 We’ll take pride in being part of the solutions, instead of being part of the problems.
A.Respectful adults will have a smoother ride in life.
B.I help them practice speaking their minds appropriately.
C.Acting and speaking responsibly are key game-changers.
D.It’s simpler to form respectful behavior during childhood.
E.Disrespectful adults always make their life worse than it should be.
F.Besides, having sympathy for the problems of others means less conflict.
G.Furthermore, demanding respect from coworkers or family members is almost impossible.

Is Sugarcoat Sweet?
In our pursuit to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to be polite to sugarcoat the truth. 36 However, too much display of this behavior can muddy the waters of communication. Here are the dangers of sugarcoating:
37 Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions. When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost — the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message.
Leave issues unsolved. Sugarcoated messages can prevent important issues from being tackled. When feedback is not clear, it becomes difficult for the receivers to take appropriate action. They may not know exactly what is expected of them or how to go about making the necessary changes. 38 Meanwhile, the present status will continue, leaving important issues unresolved.
Get upset and annoyed. Over time, the lack of clarity has a significant effect on relationships and can lead to frustration and complaint, especially when one party has put in an effort to express themselves but feels unacknowledged. The dissatisfaction may lead to their suspicion of the authenticity of the relationship and doubt about whether their efforts are being wasted. 39
While it’s natural to want to spare others’ feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good. 40 Only in this way can we reduce misunderstandings and have relationships built on trust and clarity. Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness completely but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective.
A.Reduce trust.
B.Cause misinterpretations.
C.This avoids displeasing them.
D.The uncertainty can lead to inaction.
E.This can create a cycle of negative emotions.
F.Being polite is generally seen as a positive performance.
G.So it is wise to be open for more direct and honest interactions.

Whoever wrote the song ''It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year'' must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. 16 . Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don't force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. 17 .
Let out sadness
The results of the busdriver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 18 . We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once. 19 . Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
20
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall wellbeing. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.
A.Relax your mind
B.Enjoy a mix of emotions
C.We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D.Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life
E.So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects
F.A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience
G.We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside

For many of us, the refrigerator serves as a sort of black hole for our leftovers and various food items. Though it’s convenient storage for extra food, the refrigerator can also be a source of some confusion. 36 . The following gives tips on frozen food safety and best refrigerator hygiene (卫生).
We always try to cool hot food before freezing. However, leaving food out at room temperature can increase the growth of bacteria (细菌) and the risk related to bacteria. 37 . From a safety angle, it’s OK to put hot food directly in the refrigerator without cooling it first. While it’s possible that directly storing hot dishes in the refrigerator could raise its internal temperature, for home cooks and home refrigerators, the volume of food is generally small enough to have a minor and temporary impact.
38 . While quality might degrade over time, rest assured, that frozen bagel (百吉饼) can sit safely in the refrigerator for months. Perhaps your food and kitchen hygiene are more important than your freezing technique.
The best safety practices for defrosting (解冻) food are that defrosting should happen as quickly as possible to prevent any bacterial growth. 39 . Anything thawed (化冻) in cold water or a microwave should be cooked immediately, and food should never thaw at room temperature.
According to experts, it is not always safe to defrost food and then freeze it again. Defrosting and refreezing requires care. Every time you defrost an item, it enters the “danger” temperature zone. 40 .
A.If it is used improperly, it will cause illness
B.Here is some advice for you to safely store food
C.Defrosting food at room temperature is a reasonable choice
D.For safety reasons, leftovers should be put away within two hours
E.Bacteria can start to grow and produce harmful things at such temperature
F.Food can be frozen for different lengths of time and be safe to eat within the time
G.Methods of defrosting are suggested: in the refrigerator, cold water, or a microwave

If you find that it’s challenging to decrease your cellphone use, know that it’s not because you have poor willpower. “It’s hard to change your habits around your phone use because our phones are deliberately designed to hack (侵入) our brains and make it difficult to turn away,” Catherine Price claimed. 16
Think about your “why”. Price recommends that you figure out a positive goal to focus on. “In other words, instead of trying to restrict your phone use because you feel you ‘should’, ask yourself what you want to be spending your time and attention on,” Price said. You can also look at this as your “why”. Next, identify how your phone is interfering with your priorities. 17 So, if your priority is reading new books but you find yourself scrolling social media instead, get your phone out of your bedroom.
Turn on your phone’s grayscale (灰度) setting. One science-backed way to make your phone less interesting is by turning on the grayscale feature. The bright colors and movement on a screen hit our dopamine receptors (多巴胺受体). 18 In fact, a 2022 study found that those who turned on their grayscale setting were less tempted to pick up their phone when compared to those who did not use this tool.
19 The sound of incoming texts and emails is hard to ignore. “If you have your phone on loud and you have messages going, the minute you see that screen light up or you hear that little ding, you immediately stop to check it,” Price said. It can be helpful to put your phone on silent to avoid this.
Move your phone away from your body. When something is constantly within your view, it’s only natural to want to reach for it. 20 You can try leaving your phone upstairs or putting it in the kitchen drawer while you watch a movie with your family. This isn’t easy, so if it takes a few tries, that is OK.
A.Put your phone on silent.
B.Never lend your phone to others.
C.When the colors are less bright, you will be less addicted.
D.If anything, they actually make your brain want to pick up your phone.
E.But there still are a number of definitive ways to decrease your phone use.
F.By doing that you can determine what you can do to make it easier to focus on those priorities.
G.To fight this, it is important to get your phone away from your body and out of your visual line.

It is not necessarily something bad to develop boredom because the world of imagination lies just beyond it.
It is healthy for the brain. Your brain spends time relaxing and tidying up when you’re bored. And just as you feel better when your home is neat and tidy, so it is with your brain. Usually, we are surrounded by non-stop information, which sends the brain into overdrive. 16
17 Often enough: you try your hardest to recall something, but it just won’t come to mind. The moment you relax and do something else, your brain retrieves (检索) the information from the deepest part of your memory. Boredom allows your brain to root out information, and solve problems.
It helps you rediscover your creativity. Just as your brain uses boredom to solve problems, this relaxed state also strengthens your creative muscles. 18 It’s a place where the mind goes into total relaxation.
It enables you to motivate yourself. Boredom can also mean you’re not doing what you really want to do. 19 In other words, if humans didn’t get bored, we wouldn’t innovate or seek out new adventures. Thus, boredom is the motivation for our intelligence, curiosity and drive to discover new things.
It helps you concentrate. 20 If you learn as a child to bear boredom, the lesson can help you develop valuable tools to help strengthen your self-control and mental discipline in later life.
A.It drives you to explore your interests.
B.It makes you become a better problem solver.
C.Realizing this can help you set goals and go after them.
D.Try to set your mind free to wander and enjoy a daydream.
E.A dull moment gives your stressed brain a chance to recover.
F.This is why many people come up with new ideas while in the shower.
G.Your ability to cope with boredom is related to your capacity to focus.

Did you know that one of the most important keys to success is positive thinking? With this key, it is easier to improve relationships, have better health, and enjoy happiness, satisfaction, and inner peace. It is also helpful in dealing with daily issues. 16 Your life tends to be brighter and more promising because of that.
This key also requires that you take positive action. You need to develop a positive attitude toward life and expect a successful outcome in whatever you do. Moreover, you are supposed to pass on your positive thinking to people around you and affect them accordingly. 17 As you think about happiness, good health, and success, you will cause people to feel delighted to like you and desire to help you because they enjoy the feelings that a positive mind brings about.
Effective positive thinking that brings results is much more than just repeating a few positive lines such as “everything is going to be all right”. 18 It is also not enough to think positively for a few moments, and then let fears and lack of belief enter your mind. Effort and inner work are necessary.
Here are some tips for developing positive thinking and actions:
●Use only positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, “I can”, “I am able”, “it is possible”, “it can be done”, etc.
●Allow only feelings of happiness, strength, and success into your awareness.
● 19 Refuse to think such thoughts, by replacing them with constructive and happy thoughts. Every time a negative thought finds its way into your mind, immediately replace it with a positive thought.
●In your conversation, use words that bring forth feelings and mental images of strength, happiness, and success.
●Before starting with any plan or action, visualise clearly in your mind its successful outcome. 20 Only in this way can you be best motivated and take positive actions.
A.Your mental moods are infectious.
B.Disregard and ignore negative thoughts.
C.It has to be your leading mental attitude.
D.The importance of positive thinking is obvious.
E.There are many factors that cause a negative attitude.
F.Remember to imagine your future with concentration and belief.
G.Positive thinking makes everything flow more smoothly, with fewer conflicts.

36.上文“In our pursuit to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to be polite to sugarcoat the truth.(在我们努力维持和谐、避免冲突和防止伤害感情时,我们有时会忍不住出于礼貌而粉饰事实)”提到了人们粉饰事实的情况。F选项“Being polite is generally seen as a positive performance.(礼貌通常被视为一种积极的表现)”与上文衔接自然,解释了人们粉饰事实的原因,即因为礼貌被认为是积极的,所以才会这么做。故选F项。
37.下文“Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions.(你的工作不是在传达坏消息时过度缓和语气,以至于让别人对你的意图感到困惑)”指出过度粉饰会让人困惑。B选项“Cause misinterpretations.(造成误解)”与下文逻辑相符,说明过度粉饰会导致误解,因为别人会困惑而误解意思。故选B项。
38.上文“When feedback is not clear, it becomes difficult for the receivers to take appropriate action. They may not know exactly what is expected of them or how to go about making the necessary changes.(当反馈不明确时,接收者就很难采取适当的行动。他们可能不清楚对他们的期望是什么,也不知道如何进行必要的改变)”说明反馈不明确会让接收者难以行动。D选项“The uncertainty can lead to inaction.(这种不确定性会导致不作为)”与上文衔接紧密,“不确定性”指代上文反馈不明确的情况,“不作为”对应接收者难以采取行动。故选D项。

But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. 17 .
Let out sadness
The results of the busdriver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 18 . We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once. 19 . Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
20
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall wellbeing. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.

36.根据空前“For many of us, the refrigerator serves as a sort of black hole for our leftovers and various food items. Though it’s convenient storage for extra food, the refrigerator can also be a source of some confusion.(对我们许多人来说,冰箱就像是剩饭剩菜和各种食物的“黑洞”。虽然它是储存多余食物的便捷之处,但冰箱也可能会带来一些困扰)”可知,上文提到冰箱可能会带来一些困惑。选项A“If it is used improperly, it will cause illness(如果使用不当,它会导致生病)”进一步说明了困惑是什么——冰箱使用不当带来的不良后果,从而引出下文关于正确使用冰箱的建议,符合语境。故选A。

However, leaving food out at room temperature can increase the growth of bacteria (细菌) and the risk related to bacteria.(我们总是试图在冷冻前将热的食物冷却。然而,将食物放在室温下会增加细菌的滋生以及与细菌相关的风险)”可知,上文说将食物放在室温下会增加细菌生长和相关风险。选项D“For safety reasons, leftovers should be put away within two hours(出于安全考虑,剩饭剩菜应在两小时内收起来)”给出了具体应对措施,即尽快将食物放入冰箱,避免在室温下放置太久,承接上文。故选D。
38.空处为段首句。根据下文“While quality might degrade over time, rest assured, that frozen bagel (百吉饼) can sit safely in the refrigerator for months.

If you find that it’s challenging to decrease your cellphone use, know that it’s not because you have poor willpower. “It’s hard to change your habits around your phone use because our phones are deliberately designed to hack (侵入) our brains and make it difficult to turn away,” Catherine Price claimed. 16
Think about your “why”. Price recommends that you figure out a positive goal to focus on. “In other words, instead of trying to restrict your phone use because you feel you ‘should’, ask yourself what you want to be spending your time and attention on,” Price said. You can also look at this as your “why”. Next, identify how your phone is interfering with your priorities. 17 So, if your priority is reading new books but you find yourself scrolling social media instead, get your phone out of your bedroom.
Turn on your phone’s grayscale (灰度) setting. One science-backed way to make your phone less interesting is by turning on the grayscale feature. The bright colors and movement on a screen hit our dopamine receptors (多巴胺受体). 18 In fact, a 2022 study found that those who turned on their grayscale setting were less tempted to pick up their phone when compared to those who did not use this tool.
19 The sound of incoming texts and emails is hard to ignore. “If you have your phone on loud and you have messages going, the minute you see that screen light up or you hear that little ding, you immediately stop to check it,” Price said. It can be helpful to put your phone on silent to avoid this.
Move your phone away from your body. When something is constantly within your view, it’s only natural to want to reach for it. 20 You can try leaving your phone upstairs or putting it in the kitchen drawer while you watch a movie with your family. This isn’t easy, so if it takes a few tries, that is OK.
A.Put your phone on silent.
B.Never lend your phone to others.
C.When the colors are less bright, you will be less addicted.
D.If anything, they actually make your brain want to pick up your phone.
E.But there still are a number of definitive ways to decrease your phone use.
F.By doing that you can determine what you can do to make it easier to focus on those priorities.
G.To fight this, it is important to get your phone away from your body and out of your visual line.

It is not necessarily something bad to develop boredom because the world of imagination lies just beyond it.
It is healthy for the brain. Your brain spends time relaxing and tidying up when you’re bored. And just as you feel better when your home is neat and tidy, so it is with your brain. Usually, we are surrounded by non-stop information, which sends the brain into overdrive. 16
17 Often enough: you try your hardest to recall something, but it just won’t come to mind. The moment you relax and do something else, your brain retrieves (检索) the information from the deepest part of your memory. Boredom allows your brain to root out information, and solve problems.
It helps you rediscover your creativity. Just as your brain uses boredom to solve problems, this relaxed state also strengthens your creative muscles. 18 It’s a place where the mind goes into total relaxation.
It enables you to motivate yourself. Boredom can also mean you’re not doing what you really want to do. 19 In other words, if humans didn’t get bored, we wouldn’t innovate or seek out new adventures. Thus, boredom is the motivation for our intelligence, curiosity and drive to discover new things.
It helps you concentrate. 20 If you learn as a child to bear boredom, the lesson can help you develop valuable tools to help strengthen your self-control and mental discipline in later life.
A.It drives you to explore your interests.
B.It makes you become a better problem solver.
C.Realizing this can help you set goals and go after them.
D.Try to set your mind free to wander and enjoy a daydream.
E.A dull moment gives your stressed brain a chance to recover.
F.This is why many people come up with new ideas while in the shower.
G.Your ability to cope with boredom is related to your capacity to focus.
【答案】16.E 17.B 18.F 19.C 20.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无聊的积极面,解释了为什么发展无聊感并不一定是坏事,因为无聊的背后隐藏着想象的世界。
16.根据上文“Usually, we are surrounded by non-stop information, which sends the brain into overdrive.(通常,我们被不间断的信息所包围,这会让大脑处于过度运转的状态。)”可知,我们的大脑经常处于过载状态。选项E“A dull moment gives your stressed brain a chance to recover.(无聊的时刻会让你压力重重的大脑有机会恢复。)”指出无聊的时刻能让压力大的大脑有机会恢复,与前文形成因果关系,解释了为什么无聊对大脑有益。故选E。
17.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Often enough: you try your hardest to recall something, but it just won’t come to mind. The moment you relax and do something else, your brain retrieves (检索) the information from the deepest part of your memory. Boredom allows your brain to root out information, and solve problems.(常常会出现这样的情况:你竭尽全力去回忆某件事情,但就是想不起来。而当你放松下来去做别的事情时,你的大脑就会从你记忆的最深处检索出相关信息。无聊能让你的大脑挖掘出信息,并解决问题。)”可知,本段主要讲述无聊能让大脑找出信息并解决问题。选项B“It makes you become a better problem solver.(它让你成为一个更好的问题解决者。)”符合段落主旨,概括了本段大意。故选B。
18.根据上文“Just as your brain uses boredom to solve problems, this relaxed state also strengthens your creative muscles.(就像你的大脑利用无聊来解决问题一样,这种放松的状态也能锻炼你的创造力。)”可知,放松的状态能增强创造力。选项F“This is why many people come up with new ideas while in the shower.(这就是为什么很多人在洗澡时会想出新点子。)”是对前文内容的举例说明,解释了放松状态下有助于产生创造力的现象。故选F。
19.根据上文“Boredom can also mean you’re not doing what you really want to do.(无聊也可能意味着你没有在做自己真正想做的事情。)”可知,无聊可能意味着你没有做自己真正想做的事。选项C“Realizing this can help you set goals and go after them.(意识到这一点可以帮助你设定目标并去追求它们。)”自然延续上文内容,说明意识到无聊背后的原因能帮助我们采取行动,逻辑连贯。故选C。
20.根据段首句“It helps you concentrate.(它能帮助你集中注意力。)”可知,本段主题是无聊能帮助我们集中注意力。选项G“Your ability to cope with boredom is related to your capacity to focus.(你应对无聊的能力与你的专注能力有关。)”直接点明了无聊与专注之间的联系,符合段落主题。故选G。
