Winter is coming—do you feel down more often? If so, you might have seasonal affective disorder (SAD，季节性情绪失调).

SAD is a kind of depression (抑郁) that comes and goes with the seasons. It is also known as “winter depression” because it usually happens in winter. However, some people with SAD may also feel down during the summer and feel better in the winter.

Besides feeling sad, people with SAD may also lose interest in everyday activities. They may sleep a lot and find it hard to get up in the morning. It can also be difficult for them to focus (集中注意力).

Scientists still don’t know the reason behind SAD. But it’s often linked to less sunlight during the shorter autumn and winter days, the UK National Health Service (NHS) said. Not getting enough sunlight might make a part of the brain not work well. This can influence your hormones and body clock. All of these things make you feel blue.

Getting more sunlight and exercising are good ways to deal with SAD. “Light therapy (疗法)”, or using

special lamps at home to simulate (模仿) natural light, can also help. But if you still feel very sad, you should go to a doctor, said the NHS.

5. How does the first paragraph of the text start?

A. By showing some numbers. B. By asking a question.

C. By giving an example. D. By making a comparison.

6. What might be the reason for SAD according to the UK’s NHS?

A. Eating too much. B. Getting less sunlight.

C. Too much brain activity. D. Not getting enough sleep.

7. How can people stop themselves from getting SAD?

A. By exercising more in natural light. B. By keeping lights on at night.

C. By staying indoors as much as possible. D. By thinking less about their feelings.

8. What’s the text mainly about?

A. The importance of sunlight for people’s health.

B. The influence of seasons on people’s daily activities.

C. An introduction to winter sadness and how to solve it.

D. Different kinds of sad feelings and their causes.

I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities.

I learned to cook at around 10 years old. The first skill I learned was making dough. In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour, right? Not quite! It was a mess for a while. First, I made the dough too soft. Then, I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick (窍门).

Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax.

Thanks to my cooking skills, I live a better life when I need to work from home. I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖). It saves money, and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food.

This may be why I’m so happy to know that students now have labor education at school in China. These practical skills will help them for the rest of their lives.

9. Why did the writer start learning to cook at 10?
