Mr. Smith, the professor at my business class, had a unique way of going over the answers to our weekly tests. For each question, he would ask a random student for their answer and then continue to grill(盘问追问) him/her, forcing him/her to defend that answer. It was certainly a memorable way to review. How I wished I'd been a more experienced student and got used to the professor's grilling! I wasn't, though.
But in my anatomy class, Dr. Cuddy introduced"high power" and "low power" body positions, saying "high power" positions involve taking up much space and making yourself look big, while "low power" poses, in contrast, involve making yourself look small keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close. People tend to see others with high power poses as natural leaders, and are more willing to hire them. Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high power pose increased a person's feeling of power and self-confidence. She wanted us to try it out.
On my next quiz-review day, instead of bending over my book studying quietly, Is at up straight and spread out my books and notebooks on the entire surface of my desk. When our teacher asked if anyone had any questions about the material before we began our quiz review, I raised my hand.
The effect was surprising. My professor answered my question as if talking to a colleague, and I had a wonderful feeling of calm. Suddenly, I realized that the important thing was that I was participating. I just needed to engage fully in the class and learn.
Today, before a presentation or a test I spend a few minutes "thinking big"— taking up space and being seen. It calms me down and when I do, my best always turns out to be pretty good.
No one can resist(抗拒) the temptation of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating(低估) how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps(炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of
6.35kg after a year, The Times reported.
People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps everyday could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn't seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.
Can't we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our heath, we can't help but fill our shopping carts with snacks. Don't always blame yourself for poor self-control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this "pot" half.
Hugo Harper, head of Nesta's health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers(消费者) and that our food environment needed to be changed. He said, "Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what's available in our local comer shops."
Hugo added, "If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change." New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.
Cultural heritage is a variety of local treasures from different places. These treasures often increase people's pride in their hometown. Thus, protecting cultural heritage is of great significance and importance. In protecting cultural heritage, countries around the world should join hands further to deal with issues. Today there are shared measures to preserve cultural heritage. However, countries still have different views on cultural heritage preservation.
Asian and European architecture is very different, for example. European buildings are often stone structures that can stand damage caused by wind and rain, while those in the East are more often wooden structures which require renovation(翻新). This leads to different views on how to preserve ancient architecture.
From the very beginning, Europeans have the opinion that people should take fewer measures in the process of protecting cultural heritage. For example, the ruins of the Roman Colosseum have simply been left as they are, but Asia has a tradition of renovation of cultural relics and we believe that this measure will not affect their authenticity(真实性). The Ise Grand Shrine building in Japan is rebuilt every 20 years from one generation to the next. Such tradition caused a debate in international cultural heritage preservation circles, as some thought that there building process would harm its authenticity. Experts around the world travelled to Japan especially to conduct on-site check and discussions, and they finally recognized that the term "authenticity" actually varies from culture to culture.
The importance of these international exchanges is that they will help the world understand Asia, and accept Asian ways to protect cultural heritage.

A Young Designer's Way to Fashion Success

However, for the 26-year-old young man, his success is not easy. Holding the tiny needle properly in his big hand wasn't easy job for Zhang in the early days. What's more, his parents were (strong) against him, thinking that embroidery was women's work and it had no future, Zhang did not give up. He believes handwork has nothing to do with gender(性别) especially when it comes to (dream) .
Years of his hard work has paid off so far. His designs quickly(draw) attention and even earned him an (invite) to the 2019 New York Fashion Week. Western audiences at the show were amazedthe charm of the embroidered Qipao, saying it showed a kind of Eastern power.

My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce(暴躁的), loyal and strong and a bit of legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. "There you go," she said. "You do know what you're doing with these things, don't you?"
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty old. I was amazed it was still going.
"Yes," I said.
"Good. That's why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies(老人). You can take it home with you and get it all setup," she went on. "Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and soon." She smiled so sweetly that I felt a sense of love for her.
I grabbed(抓住)the box and stood up. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone. "Here's your phone. It's all ready to use."
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her pass-code(密码)and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕) . "What do you mean, swipe?" she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow(向上箭头) and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally g other to swipe, she didn't put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. "Take it away!" she howled. "I want my old phone back!"
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"Come on, Eileen. One more try." I said.
I was not feeling so hopeless anymore now.
