Taking a photo or many photos every day and sharing it online can improve your well-being. A new study, 【1】 was published in the journal Health, has proved it.

Researchers have found that snapping and sharing isn't 【2】 (simple) an exercise in narcissism(自戀), 【3】 an act of self-care. Taking the photo encourages mindfulness. while the sharing 【4】 ( promote) social interaction. "I will stop and take a photo of this insect 【5】 (sit) on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very beneficial, I think," one participant told scientists at the UK's Lancaster University and University of Sheffield. Looking at photos gives the subjects(實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象)a sense 【6】 purpose, and planning to take them is a motivational force, the researchers say. "It encourages me 【7】 (walk) out of the house sometimes," another participant says. On the social side, comments keep people connected with 【8】 (they) friends and family, and even are 【9】 (help) in preventing people feeling lonely. Researchers conclude in a press release that posting photos online is" 【10】 active process of meaning making".

At the end of the school year, eight months later, the intelligence test was carried out again and, perhaps not surprisingly, the results showed that the 20% of children who had been predicted to improve the most, did in fact do so. They showed, on average, an increase of 12 IQ points on the test, compared with an increase of only 8 points for the other children.

But the fact is that no results of any test were used to predict who would be the top performers. Instead, the lucky children who the teachers were told would be the top improvers were given this label as a matter of chance. This study shows that the label that you are given, and your interaction(互動(dòng)) with others who notice that label, can have a big influence on the results that you achieve. This phenomenon(現(xiàn)象)has been called the Rosenthal effect. It is also known as the Pygmalion effect, related most famously to the George Bernard Show play Pygmalion , which shows the effect that two men have in changing an untidy flower girl into a well-spoken lady.

For ethical (道德的)reasons the researchers at "Oak School!" only concentrated on trying to produce positive results in the children's performance. However, it is worth asking yourself what the effects on 20% of students considered least likely to improve in the following school year might have been. A frightening thought.

D.They might work much harder than before.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

"Hi, my name is Helga."

As we talked, it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E. (Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and said to me, "There is nothing more important in the world than kindness."

I was curious about what she had said, and as the plane took off. she began telling me a story about the last time she had flown.

It was three years ago and she was heading back to her hometown because her father had become very ill.

Just as the plane was about to leave, her father's doctor called to inform her that her father had suddenly passed away. For the three hour plane ride, she sat in stunned(受驚的) silence,.

When she arrived at the airport in her hometown, she walked to the nearest bench(長(zhǎng)椅),sat down and cried.

For two hours, she sat and wept while thousands of people just walked on by.

"Not a single person stopped and asked if I was OK that day. It was on that day that I realized kindness isn't normal. "

Helga's words have stuck with me for all these years. I'm reminded all the time that for many of us, kindness is not usually our "default setting (默認(rèn)設(shè)置)".

We spend so much time worrying about our own problems that we walk by or ignore other people in need of a bit of kindness.

So, I've made it my mission to do my part in making kindness "normal".

Now, I travel to schools all across the US to speak about compassion(同情),empathy(同感),and love.

I' m proud to share my stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character, compassion, and kindness.

Providing young people with practical ways to exercise kindness makes my job more satisfying than any other I can think of.

And when I give my talks, I always have my conversation with Helga in the back of my mind.

Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist, 【1】 (elect) as 2019's 'Person of The Year' last week.

In August 2018, tired of the 'refusal' of world leaders 【2】 (take) action, the young girl started camping in front of the Swedish Parliament every Friday with 【3】 sign, which said: 'Schools Strike for Climate'.

The teen's act soon spread quickly, 【4】 (inspire) kids and adults worldwide to take action. By September, 2018, her 【5】 (week) strike had become a worldwide climate change movement called 'Fridays for the Future', 【6】 tens of thousands of students skipping school on this day to condemn the inaction of the leaders of their respective countries.

The teenager, who has single-handedly helped bring climate change to the forefront of the global conversation, owes her 【7】 (succeed) to her Asperger's syndrome. She says, 'I see the world in black and white, and I don't like compromising. 【8】 I were like everyone else, I would have continued on and not seen this.'

Though Thunberg does not have a magical cure for climate change, she 【9】 (believe) that climate change can be affected at a grassroots level by educating friends and electing 【10】 (politician) that support the cause.

Mary’s Secret

Mary got home very late these few months. Her parents were very【1】(worry). But when they asked her about that, Mary always had different【2】(excuse). Her father wanted to find out what happened to her.

One day after school was over, Mary's father secretly followed her【3】a park. He then observed that Mary sat down【4】began to paint a picture alone. Her father stood far away and watched her 【5】(paint )for hours.

“This little girl comes here to paint every day. I think she【6】( love)painting”the cleaner there told him. Just at that moment, Mary's father felt very sorry, because he had never tried to understand【7】his daughter liked. He and his wife thought painting was【8】waste of time and never supported her. They thought Mary should focus more on her studies, especially science, because they only wanted to make her a doctor or an engineer. Now he realized what Mary liked【9】(much). Her father was moved and changed 【10】(he)mind.

So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don’t have to drive.

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鳥(niǎo))which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more Every year when the time comes for migration (遷徙), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but ,since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be--thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first step, and continue trying,others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.
