Does your mood change with the seasons?
Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. 1. They eat more and gain weight. They have trouble sleeping. They can’t think clearly.
Here are some ways you can beat the winter blues:
Get out in the sun. Some experts say that winter blues happen because we get less sunlight in the winter than we do in other seasons. Some say that the decrease in sunlight can make us feel sad.2.
Get some exercise. A walk or other exercise will make chemicals called endorphins (内啡肽) flow through your body. Endorphins are natural “feel good” chemicals.
3. Avoid having too much sugar. If you crave sugary foods (like cookies or candy), it may be a sign that you need more protein (蛋白质), like meat, chicken, or fish.
Avoid holiday stress. Cut back if you have too many things to do. Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself.4. Get some rest. Studies show that most teens need about nine hours of sleep each night. The average teen, though, gets only about six or seven hours of sleep per night.
Get help. Be cautious if you feel sad all the time and the feeling won’t go away.5. Talk to an adult who you trust or get help from a doctor.
A. Eat more healthful foods.
B. Choose different foods in season.
C. Don’t be so busy that you get run-down.
D. Those people sometimes feel sad for no reason.
E. You may have a bigger problem than the winter blues.
F. Getting extra sunlight each day can help brighten your mood.
G. A regular pattern of sleep is the most important thing to maintain.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter,rude boss, or an insensitive employee 1 your day?
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the 3 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 4, slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and 5 the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started 6 at us.
My taxi driver just 7 and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was 8, so I said,"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 10 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 11 . Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be 12 .”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 13 it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”

There is no doubt that the Internet has changed the way that millions of people communicate with the outside world. And there is a lot of buzz and activity around social networking. One of the most interesting opportunities which arise from this is lifestreaming.
When people hang out with friends online, they talk about music, review movies, share travel stories, exchange photos and discuss video games. And they chat about life and recommend books as well.
Lifestreaming is an online record of a person's daily activities. It will allow you to climb inside the head of someone. And you can also experience their day through a digital collection of public text messages, blog posts and photos. What's more, thanks to mobile broadband(宽带) and tiny video cameras, you can also watch a live video stream of them as they move around their world.
Lifestreaming offers the ability to store and broadcast this information exchange. People now can create,collect and publish their interests and activities. They are creating content that reflects their life.
Generally speaking, the lifestreamers have been broadcasting their lives 24 hours a day. Facebook havs now made it possible to load all these other Websites directly into your Facebook profiles. Now users can display their blog posts from their blog. They can display the drunken pictures that they uploaded. The embarrassing videos they have from their YouTube profile can also be shown, and so much more.
Lifestreaming is the newest way to let your friends know what you're up to, and you needn't force them to follow you across many places. Not everyone is into lifestreaming, but it is one of the hottest areas for development out there. And there are a large amount of services offering a way to collect all the little bits of your online life,
Life streaming might be described as a variation of microblogging, because they all focus on the brevity(简洁) of content. But you cannot ignore the difference between them. With microblogging, you write messages directly within the application itself-as you might send a text message. But with lifestreaming application, you collect your other content from around the Web and arrange it into a single stream of short bits of information.
With lifestreaming, people now can learn more about people they trust. By selectively following lifestreams, people are changing how they get information.

Conformity involves changing your behaviour to “fit in” or “go along” with the people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is something that happens regularly in our social world. Sometimes we’re aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldn’t.
There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a certain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When she attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the others that the book is terrible.
Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cases, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we aren’t quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.
There are many factors that influence conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations that involve between three and five other people.
1.What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph?
A. Actually it is rare for us to conform.
B. Blind conformity should be criticized.
C. Sometimes people tend to conform unconsciously.
D. Conformity means changing your behaviour reluctantly.
2.Which of the following is a case of conformity?
A. Joining a certain organization.
B. Following the ongoing fashion.
C. Sharing something personal with others.
D. Giving up your creative ideas cautiously.
3.When are we most likely to conform according to the text?
A. When we are at a loss.
B. When we are rejected.
C. When we feel threatened.
D. When we feel uncomfortable.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Conformity cannot be avoided by anyone.
B. Conformity is linked to the size of the group.
C. Conformity is a natural response to challenges.
D. Conformity isn’t related to individual differences.
