Homeless people live a hard life. They often go without warm shelter (收容所), enough food, or clean clothes. 1
● Small Gifts, Big Comfort

● Kindness Starts with Respect
3 Many homeless people are lonely because others avoid them. A friendly “how are you?” or a smile can make them feel human again. Never look down on them—kind words are as valuable as material help.
● 4
We can also join local volunteer groups. Some charities (慈善机构) serve free meals to the homeless on weekends. We can help set tables, pass out food, or clean up after meals. Even an hour of our time can bring warmth to those in need.
● Let More People Care
Finally, talk about their situation with others. 5 More care from people means more support for them.

When we get old, we may forget many things from the past. 1
Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK, did a study on this. She invited 121 people to take part in it. They were between 18 and 86 years old. Sarah first asked them to listen to three musical clips (片段). 2 They needed to make a note whenever they heard the same clips at the concert.
To her surprise, the older people were just as good at remembering the clips as the younger ones were. “ 3 When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁体) in our brain ‘lights up’. This makes our brain think of music as something important. Other parts of the brain also work to keep this ‘important’ information. So our memory of the music can last for a long time,” Sarah says. 4 Doctors may use this to treat illnesses that hurt people’s memory. Music may help these people remember things.
5 As we all know, music has the power to make us excited or relaxed. Experts believe music can make people, even babies, more creative, smarter and happier. Some experts suggest playing slow music to help us pay attention when we study. It’s said music can also improve listening skills and language abilities.
A.In her eyes, the result is useful.
B.Then, she told them to go to a concert.
C.But music will probably stay with us forever.
D.We often remember better when we are young.
E.Besides this, music can help people in other ways.

5 Ways to Train Your Brain for Better Sleep
The days are longer, full of sunshine and bright with the promise of enjoying a more relaxing spring and summer with your loved ones. But if you want to enjoy your daytime, it’s time to improve your sleep during the night-time. “Sleep problems endanger health and quality (质量) of life for up to 45% of the world’s population,” according to the World Sleep Society.
Sleep is one of the three keys to a healthier, longer life (the others are diet and exercise). 1 Here are the top five ways to improve your sleep and get some relaxation.
Create a sleep nest
2 Science tells us that we sleep better in cooler temperatures of about 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit (15℃ to 20℃).
Develop a routine
Set up a bedtime ritual by taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book or listening to soft music. You’re teaching your mind to relax. And stick to it. Go to bed and get up at the same time each day, even on weekends or your days off. 3
Cut the lights
Production of the sleep hormone melatonin (褪黑激素) begins at dark. Research has found that the body will slow or even stop its production when lights are on, so try to stay away from any light, even the blue glow from your charging smartphone.
Refuse the wine
Don’t turn to wine to make you calm or help you sleep. 4 Your body needs to experience all three steps of sleep—light sleep, dream, and deep sleep—to fully repair itself. 5
Heavy and spicy foods may give you heartburn or other digestive problems. Thus influencing your ability to get and stay asleep.
If you try these tips and can’t seem to relax, or your sleep continues to worsen, be sure to reach out to your doctor or a mental health professional.
A.The body likes routine.
B.Avoid heavy or hot foods
C.Refuse coffee later in the day.

F.Many of the ways to increase the quality of your sleep are easy to follow.
G.Eat heavy and spicy foods

2
Chinese people started to use chopsticks about 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty.

4 One is that Jiang Ziya created chopsticks after getting an idea from a mythical (神秘的) bird. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick hot food in order to save time to control floods, so chopsticks came into being.
How should we behave when using chopsticks?
When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks before anyone else. 5 It’s also bad to tap (敲) chopsticks on the edge of your bowl, because in ancient China, beggars (乞丐) often did it to attract attention.

When you think of starting a new project or going into a group situation with people you don’t know, do you feel butterflies in your stomach? 1
And your anxiety will stop you from going after your dreams. The following suggestions below will help you be the master of your anxiety, rather than letting it master you.
◆ 2
Your anxiety won’t go down on its own. However, when you take action towards your goals, you will build self-efficacy (自我效能) little by little—you begin to see yourself as someone who can take action and be successful.
◆Set a realistic goal that makes sense for you
We all have different personalities and preferences. We don’t all want to be lawyers, have hundreds of friends, or run marathons. 3 Set your goal specifically, for example, “walk for 30 minutes three times next week.”
◆ 4
Faith (信仰) is the first step to take action. Even if you don’t have faith to begin with, faith will come if you just take that first step. The more you take action, the more likely you are to have some successes and begin to trust the process. 5
A.Trust the process
B.Don’t wait for your anxiety to go down
C.Then your anxiety will go down slowly.
D.Let’s do it together to make our anxiety go down.
E.If you do that, your anxiety will go up quickly.
F.If these happen, it shows that you are probably anxious.

In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 1 If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak. If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organizers must have something valuable in you or your expertise. 2
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
4 What you say should be tailored (专门的) to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5 Pick one person in each part and look at him while you’re speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another part. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B.Show appreciation to your audience.
C.Mention your audience in your speech.
D.The more you have it memorized the better.
E.In fact, it’s normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech.
F.Separate the crowd into three parts mentally as you get up to speak.
G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.

When we get old, we may forget many things from the past. 1
Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK, did a study on this. She invited 121 people to take part in it. They were between 18 and 86 years old. Sarah first asked them to listen to three musical clips (片段). 2 They needed to make a note whenever they heard the same clips at the concert.
To her surprise, the older people were just as good at remembering the clips as the younger ones were. “ 3 When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁体) in our brain ‘lights up’. This makes our brain think of music as something important. Other parts of the brain also work to keep this ‘important’ information. So our memory of the music can last for a long time,” Sarah says. 4 Doctors may use this to treat illnesses that hurt people’s memory. Music may help these people remember things.
5 As we all know, music has the power to make us excited or relaxed. Experts believe music can make people, even babies, more creative, smarter and happier. Some experts suggest playing slow music to help us pay attention when we study. It’s said music can also improve listening skills and language abilities.
A.In her eyes, the result is useful.
B.Then, she told them to go to a concert.
C.But music will probably stay with us forever.
D.We often remember better when we are young.
E.Besides this, music can help people in other ways.

5 Ways to Train Your Brain for Better Sleep
The days are longer, full of sunshine and bright with the promise of enjoying a more relaxing spring and summer with your loved ones. But if you want to enjoy your daytime, it’s time to improve your sleep during the night-time. “Sleep problems endanger health and quality (质量) of life for up to 45% of the world’s population,” according to the World Sleep Society.
Sleep is one of the three keys to a healthier, longer life (the others are diet and exercise). 1 Here are the top five ways to improve your sleep and get some relaxation.
Create a sleep nest
2 Science tells us that we sleep better in cooler temperatures of about 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit (15℃ to 20℃).
Develop a routine
Set up a bedtime ritual by taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book or listening to soft music. You’re teaching your mind to relax. And stick to it. Go to bed and get up at the same time each day, even on weekends or your days off. 3
Cut the lights
Production of the sleep hormone melatonin (褪黑激素) begins at dark. Research has found that the body will slow or even stop its production when lights are on, so try to stay away from any light, even the blue glow from your charging smartphone.
Refuse the wine
Don’t turn to wine to make you calm or help you sleep. 4 Your body needs to experience all three steps of sleep—light sleep, dream, and deep sleep—to fully repair itself. 5
Heavy and spicy foods may give you heartburn or other digestive problems. Thus influencing your ability to get and stay asleep.
If you try these tips and can’t seem to relax, or your sleep continues to worsen, be sure to reach out to your doctor or a mental health professional.
A.The body likes routine.
B.Avoid heavy or hot foods

◆Set a realistic goal that makes sense for you
We all have different personalities and preferences. We don’t all want to be lawyers, have hundreds of friends, or run marathons. 3 Set your goal specifically, for example, “walk for 30 minutes three times next week.”
◆ 4
Faith (信仰) is the first step to take action. Even if you don’t have faith to begin with, faith will come if you just take that first step. The more you take action, the more likely you are to have some successes and begin to trust the process. 5

In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 1 If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak. If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organizers must have something valuable in you or your expertise. 2
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
4 What you say should be tailored (专门的) to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5 Pick one person in each part and look at him while you’re speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another part. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B.Show appreciation to your audience.
C.Mention your audience in your speech.
D.The more you have it memorized the better.
E.In fact, it’s normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech.
F.Separate the crowd into three parts mentally as you get up to speak.
G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.
