13、iendDThere Important points In LifeAn earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on
14、 a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.There is a strong chance
15、of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.

It
21、could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely
22、for people who were more active at the studys start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduce
23、d risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episode
24、s in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 mi
25、llion people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that theres something meaningful they can do to lowe

The first day of the working week can make us depressed. 16 The most depressing day of the year is the
29、third Monday in January, when its cold and dark outside. This day was named “Blue Monday” by psychologist Cliff Arnall. Even if there was little science behind Blue Monday, its probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning means the coming of a new working week and possibly t
30、he end of our weekend of fun. 17 Its what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition(过渡) like it.Apparently, Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins. 18 According to a website, “If you cant stand your job, then the Monday blues can be very real.” And it can
31、 be especially difficult to start another seemingly endless workweek. Your case of the Mondays can have a negative impact on your performance, productivity and the people around you. 19 Feeling a bit low shouldnt be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Claudia Hammond, an
32、author and presenter, argues that this low feeling might be untrue. 20 She mentions an Australian study of how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!ABut is Monday as bad as we li

She was 21 balloons, treats and congratulations from her family. What didnt cross her mind was her 22 wearing the same

Mike Loven, 47, decided four years earlier that he was going to restart his study in Grand Canyon University, the 24 school his daughter had just been 25 to. A few weeks later, Mike was taki

The water level of the lake is so close to the surface of the road, 40 makes the view ahead broad and bright when people drive along. Its as though they were taking a boat across the lake. The feeling is 41 (simple) wonder
42、ful!For the next few months, this road is not above the surface 42 under the water. When the water level of Poyang Lake starts to go up, the road surface becomes unseen. However, drivers can still drive across the lake safely 43 watching the guardrails(防撞护栏) fixed on either side of the road. For thr
