21、Earth Day, marked on April 22nd, is the perfect opportunity to think about how we can make the world a better place. 【1】 —like these small changes you can make to move towards a happier, healthier life that’s also kinder to the planet.

Get outdoors.

Did you know that the average person only spends four hours a week playing outdoors? 【2】. Why not visit a local park, forest or beach? If none of the above is easily accessible to you explore the woods of your own neighborhood. Just trying an eco-friendly project in gardens like zero-waste-bird-feeding is also a good choice.

【3】.

Many people find that connecting to the natural environment makes them happy for a much longer time, compared with crazy shopping, which only brings temporary excitement but, more likely, lasting harm to the planet.

It’s no accident that meditation (冥思) apps and videos are often themed with rain, forests and calming ocean sounds. 【4】, what’s the point of paying to do it online? Why not challenge yourself to connect with the earth by simply noticing what’s around you?

Save the planet by “plogging”!

Plogging simply means collecting litter as you jog, or walk around your community. Why not host a plogging event of your own? 【5】. You can also get some great exercise at the same time. Plus, you become more mindful of the trash we throw away every day, and the difference we can make to the earth.

A．Purchase less and connect more

B．Leave your happiness in the wild

C．The following are three good chances

D．You can help clean up your community

E．There are so many ways to get involved

F．We challenge you to get outside on April 22nd

G．Since we can experience them easily outside in nature

22、Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. 【1】 And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big report sits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?

To understand this, we conducted a series of studies with 6,445 people. Through this research, we identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.

We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect? 【2】 When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.

These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. 【3】 They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.

【4】 To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video. If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose videos that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.

So, if you’re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’re consuming. 【5】 Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.

A．It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.

B．You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.

C．Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.

D．These platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.

E．Prior research suggests that the three factors all increase the accessibility of similar media.

F．The good news is, a better understanding of the problem can give us the tools to escape it.

G．This will become a problem if it keeps you from doing the things you actually want to be doing.

24、By CUI JIA | China Daily | Updated: 2022-02-12 Snowboarding pioneer Shaun White took his final bow at the bottom of the halfpipe course (U型槽) at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games on Friday, officially marking the end of his long and storied career as a professional snowboarder. No matter how hard the 35-year-old tried to hold back his emotions, it just got to be too much.

Although he wanted to do his best by performing two 1440s during his final run, he fell while attempting his second double cork 1440. Despite the fall, everyone cheered for the snowboarding legend at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou as he stood back up and continued down the halfpipe. “Siding on my back, I was thinking, this isn’t how I wanted it to go.You don’t always get what you want, but I have to be thankful for everything I do have and what I have gotten in my career and that’s why I’m very emotional.

Those tricks brought him three Olympic gold medals, as well as injuries, including the brutal (残酷的) crash in 2018 when he slammed his head against the top of a superpipe, leading to 62 stitches (缝合) in his face in the lead-up to the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.

“T’m not competing’ doesn’t mean I won’t be here at the next Winter Olympics cheering on all my friends,” he said. “The future for me is so exciting. There is so much to do and so much to live for. This is just the beginning for me.”
