Many of us are so busy with work, school and home life, which often cause there is no time left to do something that you enjoy. What follows are some ways to carve out that essential time you need to slow down, enjoy life and relax yourself.
1. Try to save certain weeknights just for you. If others ask you to do things those nights, just tell them you have plans. Use the time for gardening, reading, exercise, thinking or the ultimate luxury of doing nothing!
Monthly Treat. 2. It could be on your lunch break, a weekend or it could be leaving work early. Maybe you get a spa treatment, go to see a movie, a haircut, play golf or whatever treat you’re always thinking about but rarely get to. Schedule it in and it will happen!
Buy Tickets in Advance. Sports, theatre, concerts or any other event you would enjoy. Schedule the plans with a friend later. 3.
4. Huh? Yes, many of us stay at work late on a regular basis. If this is you, make it a point to leave work exactly on time at least once a week, if not more. And then enjoy that time! Leave work at work.
Join a Group. Here are some ideas of groups that can allow you some time away from work and home: singing group, gardening group, astronomy society, book club, biking clubs, ski club, etc. What are you interested in? Strike while the iron is hot. 5. If you can’t find a club, consider starting one yourself!

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

Here I will tell you what happened to me the other day. My best friend Alice and I was riding her brother’s four-wheeler. She was driving down a road when all of sudden we hit a sand pile and lost control. She was okay and I wasn’t. I was knocking unconscious. At first she didn’t know how to do but then she heard a truck coming down the road. So she waved down the driver and explain what had happened. The man got out of his truck with a second thought. He rushed over to her and called an ambulance. By that time I was starting to wake up. When I woke up, I saw the man stood over me. I thanked for him. That man was a hero.

Need for closure is a psychological term that describes a person's desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.
What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation we're in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we're rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we're wrong and even how creative we are.
In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It's called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower people's need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they'll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.
In making any big decision, it's not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldn't be rushed. The problem is that we don't keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you're under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it's even more important to think twice.
1.How does "need for closure" probably come into being?
A. By accident.B. By nature.
C. By acquiring.D. By imitating.
2.It can be inferred that a high need for closure ______.
A. brings about more stress
B. leads to not so good decisions
C. causes discomfort and uncertainty
D. promotes one's creativity
3.In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants’ need for closure by telling them to ______.
A. value their first impression
B. be responsible for their boss
C. be cautious about their judgments
D. pay little attention to the consequences
4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. More helpful solutions to high need for closure.
B. Some serious consequences of making decisions.
C. Other approaches to making important decisions.
D. Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.

Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.
Because she couldn’t give them one by one, Levine, then a sixth-grader, decided she would use her talents(才能) to do the next best thing. She began to knit(编织) hats, scarves, and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy, a program that provides newborn baby items for families in need, and to Knitting Pals by the Bay, a local organization that provides hand-knitted caps to cancer patients.
“I love to knit, and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them. It would be like a hug for them,” Levine explained.
Levine started the project about a year ago. “I think it’s just really fun to do, and it keeps me busy,” said Levine, now 13.
Once she got started, Levine realized that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands. So she sent emails to her school and communities(社区), asking for knitted donations(捐赠物) to the project she named “Hannah’s Warm Hugs”. She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area. The warm goods began to gush in.
“It was amazing; more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door,” said Levine’s mother, Laura Levine. “We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating.”
The knitted items numbered in the hundreds. Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December) and later received thank-you letters from the organizations. Levine is still knitting, and she said the project will continue.
“It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought,” her mom said. “It made her feel pretty good; it made us feel pretty good.”
1.Hannah Levine knitted hats and scarves ________.
A. for children and families in difficulty
B. to raise money for cancer patients
C. to earn some pocket money
D. for the homeless in her neighborhood
2.The underlined part “gush in” in paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “________”.
A. take offB. run outC. flood inD. break in
3.What would be Laura Levine’s attitude toward Hannah Levine’s project?
A. Optimistic but worried.
B. Proud and supportive.
C. Concerned but doubtful.
D. Unfavorable and uncaring.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Be ready to lend a helping hand
B. Start a project to show your support
C. Teen turns knitting hobby into heartwarming project
D. 13-year-old girl becomes US best knitter
