In recent times, the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity. Here are our picks of the best, and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Nowadays people spend so much time planning, journaling, and writing in our diaries, rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals. This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. It digs into the psychology behind habits － how to form good ones and break the bad ones. If you＇re a victim of procrastination （拖延症）, this may be the push you need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life, making you a better listener, and overall a better friend. With simple tips such as including the person＇s name in conversation and making sure you＇re genuinely interested in what they＇re saying, you can ensure they will remember you. The core idea is that you can change other people＇s behaviour by changing your own, therefore building stronger relationships.
Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle
Part autobiographical and part self-help, it＇s the perfect book to kickstart your year and start living for yourself. Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it, we may be working hard to please everyone around us, forgetting the most important person- ourselves.
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
“Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich”. This best seller proposes the idea that you don't need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. Ferris says that people don't want to be millionaires. They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.
21. What can we learn from Atomic Habits
A. How to keep a diary.
B. How to learn psychology.
C. How to arrange your routine.
D. How to satisfy your needs.
22. Which book may attract housewives most
A. Atomic Habits.
B. Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living.
C. The 4-Hour Work Week.
D. How to Win Friends and Influence People.
23. Which of the following may Timothy Ferriss agree with
A. No pains, no gains.
B. Idle young, needy old.
C. Live in the moment.
D. Fortune favors the bold.
B
“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ” This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.
Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn't. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success. As an international student, I sometimes felt our parents didn't quite understand the heavy academic weight.
There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.
I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us, but as I get older and further into my academic career, I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit. I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA（绩点） out of the window and go painting all day. However, we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives. Take some classes on topics that you're genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate （共鸣） with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.
I promise you, when you look back at these four years, you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades, but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people, the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special. And so I ask you now, what do you want to get out of college

Not every architectural landmark is grand in scale, with splendid decorations, or amazing colors. Suzhou Gardens may just be the opposite.
When a group of monks during the Yuan Dynasty （1271-1368） first constructed Lion Grove Garden, they may have just wanted to enjoy a quiet place, hidden away from urban noise, while in the following centuries, this charming garden -- most notable for its waterside rockeries resembling the shape of lions-has attracted a constant stream of celebrity guests, who have left a long list of poems. paintings and historical anecdotes （轶事）.
In recent years, nine of the best-known classical gardens of Suzhou, including Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden and Great Wave Pavilion, were registered into the World Heritage List. As UNESCO remarks, “Classical Chinese garden design, which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature （缩略图）, is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens, which reflect the profound natural beauty in Chinese culture and inspire people to pursue harmony with the world. ”
Nowadays, relevant administrations have been trying to restore the historical landscapes of Suzhou's classical gardens. Consequently, last year, a new project was launched allowing tourists in small groups to reserve places to enter the garden in the early morning before the regular opening time. Their visit ended with them completing the last step in making a traditional folding fan, adding a poem about the garden on its surface. The experience was also regarded as a way to help people understand the wisdom, elegance and philosophical worldview of the ancient Chinese literati （文人）.
The delicate beauty of the gardens still flows via the canals that snake across Suzhou. Hardly felt, their strength in shaping the city's character seems to last forever.
28. What's the purpose of building the Lion Grove Garden

B. To attract celebrity guests.
C. To enjoy the beautiful scenery.
D. To stay far from the madding crowd.
29. What do Suzhou Gardens show

C. Human-nature harmony.
D. Amazing colors.

A. It featured traditional Chinese elements.
B. Small groups without reservation were welcome.
C. Its main aim was to help people approach poems.
D. It was launched when the gardens were open to the public.
31. What can be the best title for the text

B. Suzhou Gardens, a place with natural beauty.
C. Suzhou Gardens, a place that shows the decorations and colors.
D. Suzhou Gardens, a place that reflects the philosophy and culture.

An 18, 000-year-old human genome （基因组） has been sequenced as a consequence of genetic research of ancient African skeletons, revealing information as to how the continent's former people lived, migrated, and reproduced.
In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa's heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9, 000 years. The authors of this new study, on the other hand, regained genetic material from six people buried between 5, 000 and 18, 000 years ago.
They also looked at the records of 28 previously reported individuals found at burial sites around the continent, and these 34 people were from three unique source populations originating in northeastern, central, and southern Africa after studying their DNA. This means that the continent was originally inhabited by three distinct groups who must have lived in remote areas for long periods of time. The combination of these three branches, on the other hand, suggests that genetic information was exchanged between the three populations before 20, 000 years ago.
According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50, 000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.
However, the genomic data shows that this long-range DNA interchange began to decline some 20, 000 years ago, implying that humans began reproducing with their immediate neighbors at that time. According to the study＇s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum （冰河时期）, when climate change may have limited people's mobility and pushed them to become more sedentary.
In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar. ” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate. "
32. What is the challenge of the DNA study in Africa
A. Hot and wet climate.
B. Limited technology.
C. Too many cultural exchanges.
D. Complex human genomes.
33. What caused the genetic information exchange around 50, 000 years ago
A. Climate change.
B. Archaeological records.
C. Trades with distant groups.
D. Development in technology.
34. What is the meaning of the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 5
A. Stable.
B. Diverse.
C. Active.
D. Reproductive.
35. What can we learn from the ancient social network according to the passage:
A. Distant social exchange was booming 50, 000 years ago.
B. Long-ranged DNA interchange started to occur 20, 000 years ago.
C. Communication with people from similar cultures was always favored.
D. Migration declined when social networks for information became mature.

Growth of the restaurant industry
40_. The wide reach of delivery services put restaurants more visible and thus will help in attracting new customers.

Tim had high respect for his father, Mike, who was also his teacher. With a burning sense of responsibility, Mike loved his job so much that he always went the extra mile.
In the very early morning, Tim could always see Mike busy with breakfast for him. Later on, they went to school together to accompany the students to greet a new day of learning. At table, Mike exchanged what he knew in school with Tim. Typically, Mike would always wear a shiny smile for the funny moments; frown for his students' problems or challenges. At that moment, Tim did feel his father's passion for the class.
Having finished the housework and said goodnight to Tim, Mike, eventually, sat at his desk peacefully and buried himself in what he enjoyed. In the delicate light of a lamp, he made preparations for the next day, trying to make what students found boring in the textbook come to life.
Sometimes, Mike worried Tim might be envious of the attention he gave to other children. However, Tim didn't complain about it. Instead, he admired his dedication and love. It was one of the qualities that made Mike such a fantastic father.
Tim liked making videos of activities in daily life, and kept his camera handy in case there was any opportunity to capture footage （捕捉片段）. Also, he captured some of Mike＇s.
One weekend, Tim approached Mike's room, hoping to get advice on making videos for the next class meeting themed Love, only to find Mike staring at the photos of his students on the wall, a little upset.
“What happened ” Tim asked as he stepped into Mike's room.
“You know, some of your classmates recently have been rebellious （叛逆的）. Despite discipline and heartfelt communications, they're still breaking rules, skipping classes and complaining about my strictness. Though I could be demanding sometimes, I'm concerned about them. ” Mike sighed.
Thinking of his upsetting classmates who couldn't sense Mike's efforts, Tim decided to try to do his part in helping Mike out in secret. With an idea flashing into his mind, he knew what the video was about.
