Here are 4 signs. Its time to rest and recharge yourself with a much-needed getaway, along with our suggestions of where to go. Working Overtime Is Your Life If long hours are part of your job and youre not willing to find different work, book off some vacation days. Vacations give us something to look forward to when the daily hard work is weighing us down. REST up at a destination spa (度假式水疗). RECHARGE your batteries on a skiing vacation. Youve an Unhealthy Way of Life Only time can mend a broken heart, but spending time with your best friends may speed things along. Plan a girlfriends getaway or guys weekend immediately! REST by the fountain at a hot see-and-be-seen LA boutique hotel. RECHARGE on a shopping trip or at a non-stop party hotspot. Youre Nursing a Broken Heart Though its possible to kick bad habits like smoking or over-eating at home a trip abroad may make it a bit easier. On a vacation with healthy lifestyle habits at the centre, youre forced to focus on self-care in a way which would prove impossible at home. Its not enough to take care of your health on the rare occasion you can go on vacation: use vacations to kick-start a healthier lifestyle which is sustainable on a daily basis when you get back home. REST a troubled mind at a yoga retreat. RECHARGE energy levels by the sea. Youve Got No Skills Left To Improve Challenging ourselves to carry out new tasks keeps our bodies and minds active. If youre an expert at everything and a newbie (新手) at nothing, its time to move outside your comfort zone. Travel is renowned for providing that opportunity for growth. REST your body while challenging your brain, by learning a language abroad. RECHARGE yourself with a healing art like massage-therapy or a cooking course. 66. According to the leaflet, a vacation trip will _. A. cure you of your heart trouble B. help you to learn some new things C. make you interested in your work D. allow you to make some new friends 67. If you have an unhealthy lifestyle, _. A. a trip abroad will enable you to get rid of some bad habits easily B. you are likely to restore your old habits once you return from a trip C. you will learn about its harmful effects at the centre on a vacation D. it is difficult for you to show your self-control in your own house 68. Where should you go if you want to get rid of your tiredness？ A. To a fountain B. To a snowy field. C. To a hotspot. D. To some stores.B A cultures values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”, disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness. However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important. In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun. Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self- image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”, describing their hit song “Dont Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture. A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner. Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗)and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another. Though 1ife may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasnt aware of. With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity. 69. Hobbes believes that humor_. A. was for people to view the world from another angle B. resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings C. had the power to mirror personal glory and national values D. was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better 70. The fourth paragraph is developed mainly_. A. by comparison B. by process C. by example D. by classification 71. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor. B. The author feels helpless and sad about getting older. C. Never be the one who laughs at other people. D. Chaplin wasnt aware of being laughed at. C Think of the last time a song really moved you, or meant something to youListening to and playing music affects marry different sections of the brain, affecting us physically as well. Why are we as humans so connected to music? Making music is something that we are bor
