10、I've always dealt with anxiety. It got particularly bad during the process of moving this past summer. I decided I needed to take concrete steps to calm myself down, after a few weeks of trial and error. I found a few sure-fire ways to achieve some peace of mind. I hope these techniques help you find your own oasis in the storm.
Step away from your screens. After a long stressful day, I'm often tempted to unwind with some TV time. But now I try taking some time away from my screens first. It can improve your sleep and boost your mood. Instead, you can read or have a short walk or take part in other activities.
Spending time with your pets can be a great way to slow down and put your mind at ease. It can decrease your blood pressure and help you manage anxiety or depression. When I'm feeling stressed. I'll watch the squirrels in my backyard.
Tend to your plants. One day my friend left a spider plant sprout on my front stoop and I decided to try my hand at being a plant parent once again. I was surprised by the effect it had on me. It gave me a chance to step away from my desk and move around. And there were even more benefits I didn't take into account!

11、When I worked on the manufacturing shop(车间)floor, we rarely saw plant managers. Except for one. He often walked through the plant. He checked out product quality. He stopped for a brief word—usually no more than a "hello." He wasn't outgoing. He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a "leader." Yet we liked him.
In a 1992 University of Pittsburgh study, researchers had four women attend a number of different classes. Their attendance varied: one woman might attend every class; a different woman might attend only a few. What didn't vary was their behavior. None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.
At the end of the term, students were asked which woman they liked best. Who "won"? Women who attended the highest number of classes. According to the researchers, "Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity, but strong effects on attraction and similarity." Or in non-researcher-speak: If I see you frequently, I naturally like you more. That's the power of showing up.
Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters. In a 1967 University of Minnesota study, researchers gave study participants profiles of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups. When asked, the participants said they liked their future partner more. Even though the profiles were almost identical.
Want your team or your customers to like you more? Show up. Drop in. Drop by. Send a brief note. Make a quick phone call. You don't have to say or do much. Then, be consistent in your behavior. In time, people will expect you to drop in or drop by, whether in person or virtually. Anticipating future contact will make them like you more.
(1)、What does the first paragraph serve as?A、An introduction. B、A background. C、A comment. D、An explanation.(2)、According to the 1992 study, what helps make a student welcome?A、Answering questions frequently. B、Greeting others enthusiastically. C、Behaving more like others. D、Attending classes more often.(3)、What did the University of Minnesota study find?A、Familiarity contributes to likability. B、Identical behaviours enhance likability. C、Future partnership increases likability. D、Virtual contacts benefit likability.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Power of likability. B、Research on likability. C、Definition of likability. D、Application of likability. -
12、When Shakespeare called sleep "nature's soft nurse", he was certainly onto something. Centuries later, researchers have' found that inadequate sleep in children affects their emotional functioning in ways that may predict longer- term social problems. A new study, conducted by a professor of psychology, Candice Alfano, examined whether changes in children's facial expressions of emotion after sleep restriction (限制) predict social problems concurrently (同时发生) and/or over time.
"Sleep problems in children are routinely linked with lower social competence and more problems in peer (同龄) relationships, but we really don't understand what drives these associations," reports Alfano, assuming that the answers might partly lie in the ways children's faces express emotions when tired.
To test this theory, Alfano and colleagues examined 37 children between the ages of 7 and 11 during two in-lab emotional assessments: one when children were well-rested and the other after two nights of partial sleep restriction. During these assessments, children viewed positive(think kittens and ice cream) and negative (think getting a shot and fierce dogs) pictures on a computer screen while a camera recorded their facial expressions. Participants' parents provided reports of their child's social functioning at that time and approximately two years later.
"As we suspected, children who displayed less positive facial expressions in response to pleasant images when sleep was restricted were reported to have more social problems two years later, even when controlling for earlier social problems." said Alfano.
Although concurrent relationships between sleep-based changes in facial expressions and social problems were not found, Alfano suggests that this may be due to developmental differences in social behavior and peer relationships.
"For younger children, more clearly-shown behaviors such as sharing and taking turns may be more important for friendships than facial expressions. However, emotional expression becomes more important with age, explains Alfano.
The results indicate poor sleep quality in childhood forecasts later socio-emotional problems and also indicate the importance of studies exploring how sleep affects many aspects of children's mental health and well-being.
(1)、Why is Shakespeare's comparison used?A、To compare different attitudes towards sleep. B、To show good sleep is essential to our health. C、To indicate man's energy is closely related to sleep. D、To create the connection between art and research .(2)、What was the research mainly targeted at?A、Sleeping amount. B、Children's health. C、Facial expressions. D、Emotional problems.(3)、What role did the parents play in the study?A、Research testers. B、Media reporters. C、Data collectors. D、Experiment organizers.(4)、What can we infer from Alfano?A、Overtired children's expressions can tell their present social problems. B、More factors influence children's concurrent social functioning. C、Good sleep is sure to guarantee a good peer relationship. D、Age will help reduce emotional problems. -
