Dont be mean (刻薄的), critical or judgemental to anyoneincluding yourself!_2_3_ Be curious about how you honestly feel about yourself, and try to go beyond “I dont like my body”.

We often avoid thoughts that are uncomfortable or painful. _4_ This isnt about solving them, but exploring them might bring new insight and reduce their power.Take action that works for you. _5_ Building a personal toolkit (工具箱) of exercises to use when your thoughts are slipping to the negative will keep you on track to having a positive body image.The long-term change will come from the internal work you do.

Heres a list of several ways to connect you with your cultural heritage.If you arent sure where your ancestors are from, a DNA test can be a good way. Companies like Family Tree DNA will sell you a testing box that teaches you what to do. _2_ There have been concerns about the safetyyour DNA information sold to companies without asking you. If a DNA test isnt your cup of tea, you can try several other ways.One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about your family tree is sitting down with an older relative to chat about it. Talk in person with a grandparent, great-grandparent, or any other family member whos been around long enough to tell you about the past. _3_4_ So one way to bridge the gap between your familys past and present is to cook a traditional meal. If your ancestors are from Italy, you can learn how to host an Italian dinner party. Invite some relatives to share your common heritage over a meal.Learning a language is a unique way to connect with your ancestors and culture. _5_ Once youve known the language of your ancestors, you may want to get in touch with your heritage by picking up the basics of that language.AFood is part of your cultural heritage.BThis is a great way to learn about your ancestors.CYou generally get your test results within a few weeks.DIt can also let you meet new people and have more experiences.EFood can help you feel like youre truly experiencing that culture.FPeople are eager to learn as much about our ancestors as possible.GPerhaps they want to have a sense of belonging in our globalized world.Having good conversations with strangers or your friends is an art. _1_ Headlee, a podcast host, did a TED Talk about how to make a good conversation. Heres her advice.Be present.People think it means not looking at your email or texting during the conversation. It also means giving people your entire attention, ignoring anything unconnected. There is another thing. _2_ Lets think of listening like a river. We dam it up all the time when we stop listening to think about what were going to say next. Once that happens, you need to let such thoughts go out of your mind and return to the conversation.Talk small to get to weightier topics.Anything is OK. _3_ “It is pleasurable to answer questions about yourself. So small talk is a way to let people do that,” Headlee explains. Remember Yes-or-No questions dont lead the conversation far. For example, rather than asking, “Are you sitting down?” You might try, “What kind of chair would you like to sit in?”_4_If youre getting too many details, it can be easy to lose focus on the big picture. Nobody cares about the exact date or somebodys name or the movie you watched.Handle an awkward silence.You have two options. One is to let it breathe. People say all sorts of things to fill a gap in the conversation that can lead you down a new conversation. You can also address the awkward silence. “Admit it with a joke,” Headlee says. _5_AStay out of the weeds.BMind your manners in a talk.CGo with the flow of the conversation.DYou cant pretend like its not happening.EGenerally speaking, open-ended questions are preferred.FIt requires attention, something thats in high demand these days.GAsk people to talk about themselves and youre already off to a good start.If you want to travel on holiday, the very first question you must ask is, “How much is it going to cost?” With little money, you are not going to get very far. _1_ Local transport is used, and sleeping is done in tents(帐篷) or not expensive hotels. However, it seems that many young people have found a different way to see the world. They usually come from a western country and are from well-off families. They pay for a flight from their home to an Asian country, and then try to beg for money once they arrive. _2_ Its become so popular; it has been given its own name: begpacking. Its a cross between “begging” and “backpacking”. It is now quite usual to see begpackers sitting on the streets in some of Asias popular shopping districts._3_ “I am travelling around Asia without money. Please support my trip.”In many Asian countries, poverty is never far away. Citizens of popular holiday destinations are asking why visitors arrive on their streets and expect the locals to pay for their travels. When these locals want to travel to a western country, they have to prove that they have enough money to travel. _4_ There have been recent reports that some countries are beginning to tire of begpackers. A law was passed in Thailand recently. The local government can now take action against any foreigner begging on the street. _5_ There, western begpackers are taken by the local police to their foreign embassy. And then they are returned to their home.AIts so unfair.BSomething similar has happened in Indonesia.CBackpacking costs a traveller a lot of money.DThey carry with them handwritten cards asking for help.EBut backpacking is a very popular and inexpensive way to travel.FIn other words, they want the locals to pay for the rest of their trip.GDont let a little thing like money stand in between you and your dream trip.While people dont always like the old saying “the early bird gets the worm”, getting up early is actually the secret to the success of many people. _1_ There are also other benefits of waking up early in the morning.Improve your cognitive (认知的) function. People who get up early in the morning can concentrate better, are more attentive, and stay energetic throughout the day. Since peoples brains are more active in the morning, focusing on important tasks earlier will allow you to make better decisions than people who work later. Morning people have better problem- solving skills. _2_Help you sleep better. Waking up early makes going to bed early easier and helps you get consistent sleep and wake times. _3_ Getting enough sleep may lower your blood pressure and improve brain function. However, people who tend to be night owls are more likely to feel tired and develop sleep disorders.Give you more time to eat breakfast. _4_ After all, food is the fuel people need to feel energetic and ready to face the world. Just grabbing a coffee and a piece of bread at the drive- through will not give you what you need. Enjoy a nutritious breakfast of Greek yogurt and fruit to start your day off right._5_ Are you too tired or too busy to work out at the end of the day? Try going to the gym or for a run first thing in the morning. A morning workout can change your mood, lower stress, reduce anxiety, and increase your energy levels.AGive yourself more time to get relaxed.BGet you to do exercise early in the morning.CAnd thus this can lead to a better quality of sleep.DSetting your alarm clock early will give you extra time.ENothing starts a day better than eating a healthy breakfast.FThats because they can do more while the world is still sleeping.GSo they can get better grades in school and obtain higher paying jobs.BACDG【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了让自己变得更加自信和快乐的方法。1上文“Yes, you might be, but often the effect is short-lived.
