Smartphone stress: Are you a victim of ‘always on’ culture?
You are on holiday but secretly check your work emails the moment you wake up. You get anxious if there’s no Wi-Fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. 1. And you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you're not there. There are the typical signs of “always on” stress induced by smart phone addiction.
Work-life balance
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was so worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends and he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if self-controlled usage limits are offended. 2.“Some time on your phone, some time off it, enjoying your loving family and friends around you.” And some employers are acknowledging that getting the work-life balance right isn't so easy. We need help.
“Always stressed”
3.You are not giving your body time to recover, so you're always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. 4. The fact that we can stay connected to the workplace wherever we are in the world is feeding deep-rooted insecurities.
Slowdown in decision
We know consume media for more hours than we sleep. 5. It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many are becoming less productive because they're overwhelmed by it all and feel they can never escape the office.
A. Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life.
B. You get excited if you receive a text message or an e-mail from a friend.
C. This is leading to a sort of slowdown in decision and it is creating more stress in the workplace.
D. The negative impacts of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting.
E. Physical and mental health can suffer.
F. Mobile phone companies argue that mobile connectivity is beneficial.
G. You are nervous if your phone is getting low on power.

Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.
People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, "tree of goodness".
The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it's been there. But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.
The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.
"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin," she said.
1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A tree planted on March 23.
B. The fridge outside for the hungry to take from.
C. The popular restaurant in Kochi, India.
D. A neighboring tree near Pappadavada.
2.What does the manager of the restaurant advise in the last paragraph?
A. People shouldn't throw foods into dustbin.
B. Everyone should always avoid waste.
C. People shouldn't buy food for that.
D. Everyone should help those in need.
3.What is special about Minu Pauline?
A. She runs her restaurant in a different way.
B. She saves food and helps others in a wise way.
C. She sets a higher standard to deal with waste.
D. She makes the community more friendly to each other.

As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.
After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.
1.When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___.
A. a surgeon B. an army man
C. a sailor D. a life-saver
2.At the age of 14, Sanders ___.

Restaurants have been around in some form for most of human civilization. As far back as ancient Greece and Rome, there was a trend that inns and taverns(客栈) generally served food to people who had a reason to be away from home. 1. Although taverns and coffee houses were popular places to gather and share beverages in the 17th century, the idea of eating out for fun didn’t take off in Western society until the late 18th century.
Although McDonald’s was the first restaurant to use the assembly-line system, some people think of White Castle as the first fast-food chain. 2. At the time, most people considered the burgers sold at fairs, circuses, lunch counters and carts to be low-quality. Many people thought hamburger came from slaughterhouse(屠宰场) scraps and spoiled meat.
3. They built their restaurants so that customers could see the food being prepared. They painted the buildings white and even chose a name that suggested cleanliness. White Castle was most popular in the American East and Midwest, but its success helped give hamburger meat a better reputation nationwide.
The McDonald brothers opened their redesigned restaurant in 1948, and several fast-food chains that exist today opened soon after. 4. And Wendy’s opened in 1969. McDonald’s is now the world’s largest fast-food chain.
According to the National Restaurant Association, American sales of fast food totaled $163.5 billion in 2005. 5. Total sales for McDonald’s grew 5.6 percent in 2005, and the company now has 30,000 franchised stores in more than 120 countries.
A. The industry is growing globally as well.
B. This trend continued until relatively recently.
C. White Castle was founded in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas.
D. Burger King and Taco Bell got their start in the 1950s.
E. It’s hard to imagine fast food without drive-through windows.
F. It allows restaurants to receive and store a large amount of food.
G. White Castle’s founders decided to change the public’s perception of hamburgers.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the stress and worry of our personal lives that our minds become too confused to operate effectively.This is especially dangerous in a test-taking situation.After hours of reading and studying,our brains can lock up in a state of overload.
In a stressful situation it's often a must to clear your mind completely to allow your brain to refresh itself and recalibrate all of its functions.But when you're tense,clearing your mind isn't so easy!Try this relaxation technique if you think your brain has seized up from information overload.
1.Set aside at least five minutes for quiet "clearing" time.If you're at school,see if you can put your head down somewhere or find an empty room or quiet space.If necessary,set a watch (or phone) alarm or ask a friend to tap you on the shoulder at a designated time.
2.Think of a time or place that puts you into a complete state of peace.This place will vary from person to person.Have you ever sat on the beach watching the waves come in and realized you've "zoned out" fora while?This is the sort of experience you're looking for.Other experiences that make us zone out could be: Sitting in the dark and staring at Christmas tree lights—remember how peaceful that feels?
3.Cover your eyes and go to your "place".If you are at school preparing for a test before class,you may simply rest your elbows on the desk and put your hands over your eyes.For some people,it may not be a good idea to put your head down.(You might fall asleep!)
Don't let any thoughts creep into your head.As soon as you start to think about a test problem,clear away the thought and concentrate on your peaceful place.
4.Snap out of it!Remember,this is not nap time.The point here is to refresh your brain.After five or ten minutes of clearing time,take a brisk walk or take a drink of water to re-energize your mind and body.Stay relaxed and resist the urge to think about the things that are stressing you out or clogging your brain.Don't let your brain go back to freeze-out.
Now go on with your test or study session refreshed and ready!
