Insects have an important role as part of the living planet, and they make up four-fifths of all animal species. But what difference do they make to our lives?
Insects as a problem
____16____We plant crops which some insect species love, and they thrive on them. That’s when we start to call them pests.
Humans have caused some insect species to be moved from one part of the world to another—deliberately or by accident. If the introduced insect species has no natural enemies in their new home, they can become a real problem. A recent UK example is the Harlequin ladybird, which has found its way to Britain and eats other ladybirds.
Some insects can sting, bite, or transmit disease to humans.____17____Mosquitoes, for example, gain nourishment by sucking blood, and in the process they can transmit diseases, such as malaria.
So, when it comes to insects, its important to understand the consequences of human actions.
Insects as an opportunity
Insects are very important as pollinators(传粉者). Bees are perhaps the best example of this. ____18____Pollination is needed before many crops and fruits that we eat can be formed.
Insects are also useful as models in scientific research. The Fruit Fly is a good example. It breeds rapidly, and can produce very many generations per year in the laboratory, so it is ideal for the study of evolution.____19____
Insects can be useful to the gardener too—ladybirds, for example, are the gardeners’ friend because they eat aphids. Hoverflies and wasps also hunt and kill other insects for food in the garden. These species are called predators(捕食者).
____20____
A．Without them, many crops would fail.
B．Many insect species compete with us for food.
C．And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!
D．Many of these have been caused by human activities.
E．Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.
F．Many pests can be controlled by spraying with chemical pesticides.
G．In fact, many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.

If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you might think that all this regret is a reason for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. ___36___ Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking about your past mistakes.
Kill the ghost.

Falling asleep or coming down from anxiety might never be as easy as 1-2-3, but some experts believe a different set of numbers—4-7-8—comes much closer to doing the trick.
“What a lot of sleep difficulties are all about is people who struggle to fall asleep because their mind is buzzing,” said Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School.
“____16____ And that’s exactly what we need to do before we go to bed.”
The 4-7-8 method doesn’t require any equipment or specific setting, but when you’re initially learning the exercise, you should sit with your back straight, according to Weil. Practicing in a calm, quiet place could help, said Robbins. ____17____
During the entire practice, place the tip of your tongue against the ridge of tissue behind your upper front teeth, as you’ll be exhaling (呼气) through your mouth around your tongue. Then follow these steps, according to Weil:
● Completely exhale through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
● ____18____
● Hold your breath for a count of seven.
● Exhale through your mouth, making a whoosh sound for a count of eight.
● Repeat the process three more times for a total of four breath cycles.
● Keeping to the ratio of four, then seven and then eight counts is more important than the time you spend on each phase, according to Weil.
● “____19____ With practice you can slow it all down and get used to inhaling and exhaling more and more deeply,” his website advised.
When you’re stressed out, your sympathetic nervous system (交感神经系统)— responsible for your fight-or-flight response — is overly active. This makes you feel overstimulated and not ready to relax and transition into sleep, Rebecca said. “An active sympathetic nervous system can cause a fast heart rate as well as rapid and shallow breathing.”
The 4-7-8 breathing practice can help activate your parasympathetic nervous system — responsible for resting and digesting — which reduces sympathetic activity. ____20____ Activating the parasympathetic system also gives an anxious brain something to focus on besides “why am I not sleeping?” Weil said.
A．Breathe out some air for a count of four.
B．It can put the body in a state easier for restful sleep, he added.
C．Once you get the hang of it, you can use the technique while lying in bed.
D．But if you’re a beginner, you could feel a little lightheaded at first, Rebecca said.
E．Close your mouth and quietly inhale through your nose to a mental count of four.
F．But exercises like the 4-7-8 technique give you the opportunity to practice being at peace.
G．If you have trouble holding your breath, speed the exercise up but keep the ratio (consistent) for the three phases.

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for,” said John A．Shedd, an early 20th century author. Throughout’ the Covid-19, we’ve all become used to assessing risk in new ways. We’ve come to understand, though we can never get rid of risk altogether, we have great power to make choices both large and small to protect ourselves.____36____It stops us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and trying new things.
Developmental psychologists talk about “positive risks” — socially acceptable risks that our lives can benefit from.____37____But what about these, who develop into adults? Researchers have found that happiness for older adults is being able to choose how they spend their time, including ways that are adventurous, new and even-like hiking or other outdoor activities — mildly risky.
One guide to positive risk management lists ways that people can make sure their risks are on the “safe" side of risk range. For example, to ensure a successful bike ride, you should in advance equip yourself with a fully-charged cell phone and a full water bottle.____38____ Or if you are, concerned about your physical capacity, consult a certified trainer or medical professional before departure.
____39____This means adapting to changing situations. In response to the deadly virus, people choose to step back into normal life only after they are vaccinated. In this way, people could be confident that the risk is tolerable.
Nobody wants to be needlessly risky. But using our newly-acquired risk assessment tools, we can once again learn and grow in our lives.____40____
A．Take risks in a positive way.
B．But the self- protective mind state carries its own risk.
C．Overall happiness is one benefit of positive risk-taking.
D．Remember to tell one of your friends or family your destination.
E．Besides taking preventive steps, flexible thinking is also encouraged.
F．Like a ship sailing away from its harbor, that is what we were built to do.
G．For teenagers, this means risks like running for monitor or trying out for a team.

In fact, headphones are not a bad thing. They can bring peace, allow for better musical enjoyment, and even protect your ears from higher decibels(分贝). ____17____
How long should you wear your headphones every day? The answer is, according to the World Health Organization, one hour per day. ____18____ But the fact is that the longer you listen, you’re going to lose your hearing sooner. To keep hearing loss from happening to you, you should follow the recommendation in place by the WHO that you keep your time with headphones on limited to one hour per day.
Then, how do you set the safest volume for your headphones? With headphones, it depends on the type you’re using and your environment. To test things out, you should take them off your ears and extend them in your hands out in front of you. ____19____ If you are using open-back headphones, you should try to have a conversation with someone nearby. When you’re able to carry on the conversation clearly, you’re listening at a proper volume. But do remember that never raise the volume on your listening device over 60% of the maximum!
____20____ At others this loss will build up over time. It usually isn’t noticeable in the beginning. It’s not until it’s too late that most people realize that the damage has been done. The only way to know for sure is to consult your doctor.
A．This might seem unreasonable to you.
B．At times, hearing loss isn’t permanent.
C．l in 5 teens will have some types of hearing loss.
D．What’s more concerning is what that means for children.
E．It’s the duration and volume that cause the problem, however.
F．If you still hear your music clearly, you need to turn them down.
G．It’s a wonderful thing to shut out the rest of the world and enjoy your music.
