I started the latest round of the NtriFit programme weeks ago. We take about 45 minutes to go through participants' health records, previous diets, expectations, and levels of willingness to change to customize（定制）the programme to meet each individual's needs.
I was shocked by one thing. When it comes to weight-loss goals, I usually ask, "When was the last time you were happy with your body?" The reply usually relates to pre-wedding, pre-kids, pre-college-the usual suspects. However this time, almost everyone said, Of course, I wasn't happy with it then, but I'd be happy with it now!"
It made me stop to think. For most of us, no matter how much we don't really like the body shape, there will likely be a point in the future when we would kill for the body we currently have. I don't mean to upset anyone from improving their health right now. But maybe we need to stop and smell the roses. We should be happy and grateful for our bodies exactly as they are.
That's why NutriFit has changed into something much more holistic（整体的）. Now we have every shape and size taking part, but the goals are so much bigger: disease prevention, more energy and charity better immunity, ell-balanced hormones. the list goes on. Yes, we get great body part results but you are about so much more than what your body looks like.
In my opinion, the key rule of a successful nutrition programme is to be based on real food. If you focus more on balanced diets and less on weight, it becomes a mentally healthier process. If you're going to maintain your new, healthy lifestyle, it needs to be something you actively enjoy a lifestyle hat you want to maintain. If you eat healthily because you want to rather than you have to, life gets 1,000 percent easier.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. To see the farther clearly, you have the option of wearing eyeglasses, or undergoing the more invasive refractive surgery（屈光手术）
But Japan's Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings claims to have developed smart glasses that, if worn just an hour per day, can cure myopia. It projects an image onto the wearers' retina（视网膜） to correct the refractive error that causes nearsightedness. Obviously, wearing the device 60 to 90 minutes a day corrects myopia.
So how does the technology developed by Kubota work exactly? Well, according to a company press release from December of last year, the special glasses rely on micro-LEDS to project virtual images on the visual field to make the retina active. Apparently, it can do that without affecting the wearer's daily activities.
Founded by Dr. Ryo Kubota, Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings is still testing the device, known as Kubota Glasses, and trying to determine how long the effect lasts after the user wears the device. And how much the ugly-looking glasses have to be worn for the correction to be permanent.
Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings began testing the glasses in the summer of last year, and is currently conducting tests on about 25 people in the U. S to assess the effectiveness of its smart lasses. The company plans to begin selling the device in Asia the second half of 2021 where there are more nearsighted people, but it has plans to enter other markets in the future.
Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to "deep life" studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world's oceans. Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms. "It's like finding a whole new reservoir （储藏）of life on Earth, " said Karen Lloyd an associate professor at the University of Tenesse.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth's bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen（产甲烷菌）has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but use to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different. Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions. They're just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1, 200scientits from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics. A year before the conclusion of their study, they will present the findings before the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig the more life they find. There is a temperature maximum-curenty 122℃, but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved.
Most people can admit that they've found themselves at one point or another feeling like they are not themselves. They may feel trapped in a cycle that they don't like.
Getting stuck in a rut（刻板乏味的生活）means you're not sure how to go forward or backward. If you think this sounds like you, then you're not alone. The great news is that you can turn things around and get yourself back up in no time. Take a look at the following tips.
Make a Change
The first step to getting out of the situation is to identify what it is about the circumstances that are getting you down. In that case, you should move somewhere else. In other cases, you may hate your job. Rather than simply accepting it as your fate, start looking for new jobs. The idea is to start taking action instead of just being a spectator of your life.
Accept Things as They Are
Once you start taking action to change the situation, then it becomes much easier to accept things as they are. Acceptance doesn't mean you accept that things never change. Stop allowing yourself to live in denial（拒不承认）. Things will be much easier to improve if you acknowledge things as they truly are. You're in a rut, and that's perfectly okay!
Treat Your Body Well
All too often, people don't realize the connection between mind and body. If you're feeling less than being stellar（精彩的;杰出的）in your mind, then it may have something to do with how you're treating your body. You may achieve it by doing things like eating well or engaging in more exercise. Treat your body well, and your mind will follow.
Don't forget the importance of allowing yourself some breathing room and a break once in a while. Practice self-care by doing things like spending time with friends or getting your hair done. The idea is refreshing yourself so that you don't burn out. Pushing yourself too hard will only worsen your rut. Recharge your battery by remembering to refresh yourself.
A. Practice Self-Care
B. Push Yourself Hard
C. Perhaps it's where you live
D. Most people refer to this as a rut
E. Your body may tell you what to do
F. It means that you aren't fighting reality
G. Consider making changes in your lifestyle
It was a normal afternoon when Mom Araceli returned home from selling food along the roadside in Texas. While her back was turned, here 3-year-old son, Christopher, followed a neighbor's dog into the 1.
When they couldn't find Christopher, the 2family called for help, and within a few hours, the people in the same 3immediately took action to completely search through every corner around their house, and Araceli 4for her sons safe return. After four long days and nights, 5the police received a call from a man named Tim 6that he went into the forest after supper, and there he noticed a 7standing under a tree. It was Christopher! He was completely unharmed but was found outside the 8where authorities were looking for him, so it's pretty 9that Tim discovered him there.
When hearing the news, Christopher's family 10to Tim's house. Araceli couldn't wait to hug her little kid 11. "I am so happy to have my son back, and I want to 12you for your kindness," she said. "I don't know how to 13you!"
This is definitely an unexpected result. Even law officials believed that the child had a "guardian angel" 14him during his time outside. In fact, it was the power of the community that made this 15a success.
The Shangsi Festival also known as the Double Third Festival is ancient Chinese festival observed on the third day of the third lunar month. In 2018, it was set as China Huafu Day to advocate the (elegance) traditional Chinese clothes. The first event was celebrated on April 18 that year in Xi'an.
The Shangsi Festival (celebrate) have changed with the times. Both the feast and praying for descendants（后代）by the river (add) in the Han Dynasty. It was after the Wei and Jin Dynasties that the event was fixed on the third day of the third lunar month. (interesting), the calligrapher Wang Xizhi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote in his Lanting Xu about literary men composed poetry while drinking from cups (leave) floating and moving along the winding river. In the Tang Dynasty, people went out (hold) ceremonies and appreciate lowers along winding streams. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the festival, developed a spring outing featuring lively activities like drifting cups, drifting eggs, hiking and eating glutinous rice（糯米）. The Shangsi Festival falls close to the Qingming Festival that many young people today only know about the latter.
It was last February. Noel, a 28-year-old marketing manager was heading from Iceland's Kefavik Interactional Airport to the capital city Reykjavik with the modern traveler's two essentials: a dream and a GPSunit. What could go wrong?
The dream had been with him since April 14, 2010 when he watched TV news report of the volcano eruption in Iceland. Dark-haired, with a youthful face and thick eyebrows, he had never travelled beyond the United States and his native Mexico. "I want to see this through my own eyes, " he thought as he watched the news on his couch.
Four months later, on a cold winter morning, he was driving from Keflavik Airport in a rented car towards a hotel in Reykjavik, excited that his one-week journey was beginning. As the pink sun rose over the ocean and shone light on the snow-covered lava rocks along the shore, he dutifully followed the commands of the GPS that came with the car, a calm female voice directing him to an address-a left here, a right there.
But after stopping on a deserted road, he got a feeling that the voice might be steering（引导）him wrong. He had been driving for nearly an hour, yet the GPS put his arrival time at around eight hours later. He entered his destination again and got the same result. Though he sensed that something was off, he made a choice to trust the machine.
The farther he drove, the fewer cars he saw. The roads became icier. He was sleepy, cold and hungry. He hadn't set up his phone for international use, so that was no help. Another three hours passed. As his tires skidded（打滑）along a narrow mountain road that skirted a steep cliff, he knew that the device had failed him.
He was lost. He didn't know where else to go. There was no one else on the road, and there was nothing else to do but follow the line on the screen to its mysterious end.
Paragraph 1
The directions ended at a small blue house in a tiny town.
Paragraph 2:
Knowing what had happened, the woman offered to help him.
