2. I was recently told by someone that I am a people-pleaser, a person who works hard on satisfying other people. However, this person wasn't saying it in a nice way. So what's wrong with that? What's wrong with making sure others are happy with me? Moreover, what exactly are the negative results of being a people-pleaser?

People-pleasers bum their fingers because of their "others-focused" mindset, which puts them at a disadvantage. When others are not happy, people-pleasers cannot think of anything else, nor can they enjoy the moment, because they are often disturbed with the fact that there is someone on the planet who is not satisfied with them at the moment.

People-pleasers often make promises they can't keep—they write checks they can't cash. This is the situation I found myself in recently. I made a promise to someone that I would do something for him. But it was a bit unrealistic and would take more efforts than I was willing to put in. As a result, that promise was empty. The act of making the promise made them happy, and that, in turn, made me feel satisfied.

Now that we've got an idea of the negative aspects of people-pleasers, what can we do to get rid of those aspects? Where can we start? The biggest challenge people-pleasers must overcome is to get used to saying "no". I find that it is a struggle, indeed. However, if I want to change my ways, then I must learn to overcome that discomfort

Are you a people-pleaser too? Don't worry. It doesn't make you a bad person, or a dishonest person. But it can sometimes leave you open to unneeded anxiety or be cheated by truly selfish people who only wish to take advantage of your kindness. Keep the good intentions and the good-heartedness in your heart. Just work on how you express your real feelings and hold on to your position through your actions.

1. What does the underlined phrase 'burn their fingers” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Hurt their fingers.

B．Suffer some losses.

C．Get slightly burned.

D．Feel angry with people.

2. What is typical of a people-pleaser?

A．Breaking his word. B．Behaving selfishly.

C．Saying no to others. D．Cashing his checks.

3. What is the author's purpose in writing the last two paragraphs?

A．To instruct people to express true feelings.

B．To stop people-pleasers from being cheated.

C．To sum up negative aspects of pleasing others.

D．To put forward suggestions for people-pleasers.

3. The battery pack of an electric vehicle (EV) powers the car hundreds of kilometers, again and again, without letting off gases. But when the battery co mes to the end of it’s life, its green benefits fade. If it ends up buried, it can release poisonous materials including heavy metals.

That's just one of the emerging problems challenging researchers: how to recycle millions of EV batteries. Current EV batteries "are really not designed to be recycled" , says Thompson, a researcher at an institution.

It wasn't much of a problem when EVs were rare. But now the technology is taking off. Governments realize this is an issue and are inching toward requiring some level of recycling. In 2018, China drew new rules to promote the reuse of EV battery parts. The European Union is expected to finalize its first laws this year. And in the United States, several states, including California—the nation's largest car market—are exploring their own rules.

Recycling won't be easy. Batteries differ widely in chemistry construction, which makes it difficult to create efficient recycling systems. Scientists, meanwhile, say effective battery recycling will require more than just technological advances. The high cost of transporting used batteries over long distances can discourage recycling. It causes an economic barrier: It's often cheaper for battermakers to buy freshly-mined metals than to use recycled materials.

"The need for progress is becoming pressing," says Linda Gaines, who works on battery recycling. "The sooner we can get everything moving, the better." To jump-start recycling, governments and industry are putting money into research centers. Scientists are working to ensure the EV batteries being sold today can be recycled in 2030 and beyond, when thousands of batteries will reach the end of their lives. "There's little time to waste.” says Linda.

1. What is the problem of EV batteries from Paragraph 1?

A．The short lifespan they have.

B．The weak power they provide.

C．The decline of their green benefits.

D．The poisonous gases they give off.

2. What do governments have in common when handling EV batteries?

A．Working out regulations.

B．Improving the technology.

C．Reducing electric vehicles.

D．Promoting reusable batteries.

3. What does Linda think of recycling EV batteries?

A．It is urgent. B．It is efficient.

C．It has made progress. D．It needs advanced technology.

4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．EV Batteries Need to Be Upgraded

B．Millions of EV Batteries Are Coming

C．Recycling EV batteries: Mission Impossible

D．EV Battery Recycling: A Race Against Time

4. Stress can significantly affect your ability to keep a healthy weight. 1 . Whether it’s the result of high levels of the stress hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙皮质醇), or unhealthy behavior related to stress, the link between stress and weight gain is obvious. But don’t worry. Here are a few skills to help you.

Make exercise priority (优先)

Exercising is a vital part of stress reduction and weight management. It can help you handle both issues at the same time. 2 . Whether you go for a walk during your lunch break or hit the gym after work, include regular exercise into your routine.

Keep a food diary

3 . A review of studies that examined the link between self-monitoring and weight loss found that those who kept a food diary were more likely to manage weight than those who didn’t. So whether you use an App to track your food intake or you write everything in a food diary, being more mindful of what you put in your mouth could improve your eating habits.

4

Whether you enjoy yoga or you find comfort in reading a good book, try adding simple stress relievers like taking a deep breath, listening to music, or going on a walk into your daily routine. Doing so can reduce your cortisol levels, helping you manage your weight.

Stick with the skills for a while. By doing so, it helps make these healthy behavior a habit and battle stress-related weight changes. 5 .

Li Hua 24. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When Valentine's Day was around the corner, Grandma came down with a terrible cold when she was travelling from Colorado to my family's house in California. She was too weak to go out at all, which was sad and disappointing. That was because Grandma and Grandpa had been planning to take my little sister Indi and me to the zoo for Valentine's Day. Grandma, as an animal lover, had been especially looking forward to it.

On Valentine's Day Indi begged Grandma to go to the zoo together. But Grandma jokingly explained that if she went there, she might spread her cold to other visitors, or even to the animals, making them all start sneezing.

In my mind, I imagined the sight that an elephant kept sneezing. Meanwhile I made my arm into a trunk and blurted out a funny trumpeting sound that ended in a gigantic sneeze. "Good one, Brother!" Indi laughed. "That elephant would need a huge box of tissues.”

Grandma was amused. But she insisted that she should stay at home and rest up. She wished us a pleasant visit and reminded us to send her regards to the monkeys in the zoo.

Well, we did go and we did have a great time but I kept wishing Grandma could have been there with us. When we reached the monkey mountain, Grandpa told us to hold still and say “cheese" and snapped a good picture of the monkeys and us.

“Cheese!” I said. But Indi said, “Happy Valentine's Day, Grandma!”

"You were supposed to say cheese." said Grandpa.

Indi shrugged, “It just came out.”

"I'm glad it did" I said, because your words just gave me a fantastic idea! What if we take pictures of different animals, and then turn them into a special Valentine gift for Grandma?" Indi and Grandpa agreed and we kept taking pictures with delight for Grandma's surprise.
